Back from San Antonio
I love this new icon. GWAHAHA HAHAHA! And he's so cuuuute...feel free to steal. It's from Sinfest. and I'm sure Tat-chan would love his work being spread like this. He's all about the viral marketing.
So San Antonio was awesome. I think I did everything I wanted... Lent Andrew two DS games and helped him towards his new DS lite. He says he's going to pay me back, but I really don't care. I understand he feels bad about "mooching", but I just don't see it that way. I want my friends' continued happiness, so I'm glad to shell out a few $$ here and there to make sure their lives are that little bit easier. I wish I could give more, really, but I'm saving up for the wedding and stuff. Gifts for groomsmen, tux rentals, gifts for parents, rings, etc... And the honeymoon. My parents hinted that they might contribute to the trip, and that would be awesome, but... I know they want to give something special. Our family places a lot of importance on the thought of gifts. It's something I'll have to teach Althea, because gifts aren't a real big deal in her family. It's not that she doesn't put thought into them, she just doesn't put NORMAN thought into them. We're freaks about that, really. It's not her fault we're weird.
It's good to be back, really. I loved seeing everyone more than I can explain, but I am a creature of routines and comfort zones, and San Antonio is no longer in that zone. I still consider it my home, but I feel anxious when I go there because I don't know what I should be doing. Here, I know what needs to be done, and I can prepare myself. I'm sure you people have felt similar ways before.
The diet is going well. I have lost almost 20 lbs. It doesn't look like it to me, but the scale says so... And I trust electronics more than my eyes and memory. What I do notice is my clothes being a bit too big. XD I like that.
