It looks like someone's broken in. My dad thinks he might've forgotten to set the alarm before they went out. There's a bunch of stuff missing, and the basement window is still open. My parents are on their way back from Pittsburgh and they're going to talk to the police.

[eta] Cameron is coming to get me. I'll be at his house tonight.

Tomorrow, I am going out dancing with Cameron. Naturally I'm going to agonise over what I wear right up until I leave the house.

I'm still working on my letter to Radek and his family. I'm not sure why it's so hard; writing letters to them has never really been a challenge before. I'm not sure what I really expect back, but I guess I won't know ( Read more... )

Apparently Dr Abernathy is our new counsellor -- I didn't see him today but Math and Liz did and they were telling me about it. I'll definitely have to stop by his office to say hello and all, he's been very nice to me in the past and I haven't spoken to him for a while. I wonder if they'll let him have his coffee machine at school? Just a thought ( Read more... )

I know why I'm not allowed to see Radek now. I've talked to my parents and they're thinking about what we should do, if anything. I don't know. I talked to Julian about it but I haven't really discussed it with anyone else and I'm not sure I wanted to discuss it with anyone at all, so we'll...see what happens. Radek said he'd write to me but he's ( Read more... )

Lizbet's room is quiet and closed up; the curtains are pulled, and she's curled in the middle of her canopy bed, those curtains closed as well. The door is shut (not locked), and there's a do-not-disturb sign on the handle.

In a family where frequently, people are too engrossed in their work to hear their name called, it's perfectly normal to IM ( Read more... )

Daddy is here! He got in while I was asleep, so I came downstairs to get my coffee after I woke up and he was in the kitchen. I am SO happy he's going to be here for Christmas, and I hope he stays longer afterwards. I guess we'll just see how it goes, but there it is. He's kicked me out of the living room so he can wrap Christmas presents. Mom won' ( Read more... )

Steven Weir has never missed a Christmas with his children. Maybe they weren't always great Christmases; maybe some years he was too distracted or annoyed. Christmas can be a stressful holiday season, and sometimes the day itself is just a crescendo of everyone's irritability ( Read more... )

We are not really doing anything for Thanksgiving this year, because Mom is swamped with stuff and Dad and James aren't here anyway. (Dear Mom, when you separate from someone, you don't celebrate holidays with them any more. FYI.)

Since Julian did it and was really nifty, here is what I am thankful for this year ( Read more... )

I had the best weekend ever. I feel so much more relaxed and it's absolutely lovely. It was great. Diwaniya is the best ever and it was great ( Read more... )

First things first: my first day of school actually went pretty okay, and I'm feeling very optimistic about this school year. Also, how many times can I say first in my first paragraph? >_>

Anyway, Radek is horrible and should stop keeping secrets from me. HE'S LIVING IN MIDDLE AREA NOW. I can't believe he didn't tell me until today. So he's here ( Read more... )
