My first thought is that it's ever so amusing that the sequestered, sheltered, homeschooled kid who didn't get RL friends until 18 is now so busy that he barely has time for himself. It's like my life exploded over the past two years.
My second thought is that I would rather be anywhere than home right now. The only thing worse than listening to my entire family bicker and bitch is knowing that I have the perspective and moderation skills to help them if they weren't so caught up and would actually listen to a damn thing I said. My mother takes any touch of constructive criticism as a full-blown attack and returns in kind.
In addition to that, there's not a single quiet spot in this house. Ever.
My third thought is that Microsoft AntiSpyware is an MS product you simply can't hate. It's almost perfect and it's free. Google it.
My fourth thought is that I feel like a kid hiding in a corner from his arguing parents, reading a book, except it's in a slightly less chaotic room and I'm updating LJ on my Treo. I used to do that, though; my heart goes out to all those kids of divorced homes who felt like their worlds crumbled whenever their two pillars started straining.
Fifth thought, I feel ultragay but thanks to Twinsie I now have an obsession with making hemp jewelry. Bite me.
Sixth thought... nah, I guess that's it.
