Figured I'd give a lil' update...

Sorry to keep you guys hanging for so long. That's what happens when your computer breaks. And yeah, it broke, for those of you who didn't know that. Dad's still trying to fix it. He's the type who'd rather do it himself than pay someone else to make it worse than it was.

Anywho...there's a bit to update on, and not enough time to go into detail on any of it. I'm here at the Center and 'bout to get off in about 15 minutes, so I have to make this quick.

First off, there's no wedding next month. Don't get me wrong, Mike and I are still together and still going strong, but we can't go through with the wedding right now. There's a number of things interfering in it, the most important being something I'd rather not get into detail with on here. But it doesn't matter. We're still basically engaged--I still wear the ring and he still tells everyone that I'm his fiancee. So I'm cool with it. It was a little disappointing though when we talked about it. I mean...I've never been the type to get all gooshy over things like that, and I've always considered marriage to be the least important of my worries. But...somehow he managed to change that...and I was actually, really looking forward to it. I guess maybe I'm ready to grow up. And I know that getting married doesn't make you grown up...I just feel ready for something big like that to happen in my life. I feel like something like that should be happening right about now. I need something different...new, and exciting. But, oh well...in time I suppose.

Secondly, Mom and Dad just got back together. Like...2 days ago. And so far, so good. They've argued a bit...but nothing we can't handle. I don't know how it happened. One day mom just started bawling her eyes out saying that she wanted dad to come home. And I was just dumbfounded. She called him, and after throwing him into a really really sticky situation, they talked it over and he came back home. He's still drinking though...especially whenever he gets skittery about something. That bothers me...but I don't know what else to do about it. And I can see why it'd be a problem--he's been drinking non-stop since Mom kicked him out the first time...as a way to ease the pain...so it's kinda become an addiction. I hope he can work on getting rid of it.

Anyway, that's it for now...I think. Oh, I did turn 20 on the 27th of January. Not much difference. I expected my birthday to suck...and it sort of did...but it didn't matter to me. I had fun anyway. Dennis came over and Mike and I went with him to watch him get a new tattoo (I want one now!! LOL), and then he took us out to McDonalds as a birthday present to me. It was cool. Although a bit embarrassing...Dennis is a character--he kept making fun of the workers there and hitting on any girl that walked by us. He got Mike to join in with one of the girls (not really hitting on her, but winking at her and stuff when she walked by). So there I was, stuck with two moronic guys in McDonalds. So I started throwing fries at them to make them quit. It was fun though.

But, I'm out. Time to get off work in like...5 minutes and I have to shut down the computer, straighten up, all that good stuff. Later guys....might be much later...but eventually later!

Until next time...
