AAAAAAAAAAnd finish
And so, under a Cheshire Moon, we arrived back in Texas.
Or, for those of you who don't care for my fail!poetic-ness (Read: most of you), I'm back home in Texas after a two-day car ride! Woo! Fun times, yes?
Sorta.
First day: We leave South Dakota at 6 in the morning. This is not a problem. Pixie and I are going to be sleeping on the car ride home at first anyway. What is a problem: My sister's cat. See, my sister is a grad student at the same college I go to, and she's finishing up her Master's thesis this summer and defending and all of that fun stuff, and then she's moving out! So we decided to start moving her stuff now, so there's less to move later.
This means moving her cat as well.
Her baby boy.
Her European super-model cat.
His name is Liam. He's a little bit feisty. And he doesn't like cars at all.
But he settled down surprisingly fast, all in all (after leaving what seemed like half of his fur on my jacket), started going back and forth between the middle back-seat and the back-back seat, stepping on everyone in the process. This stopped me from getting any sleep, because I was holding his leash to make sure he didn't get into the front seat where my dad was driving. He barely ate, slept, or drank all day, and by the time we hit lunch, I was bored, all of my electronics were dead, and I still hadn't slept much.
Mom and Pixie and I passed time by watching "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" (one of my favorite musicals, even if watching it only reminds me that I'm agnostic), and eventually we stopped for the night in Salina, Kansas. Tada! Sleep happens
Day two: I slept. A surprising amount. We left at 7 this time, and I slept practically until lunch at 11. Liam also slept most of the day, picking one of the three of the available laps to nap on. I woke up after lunch (round noon) and played Pokemon White, KH 358/2, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for around seven hours (while watching To Kill a Mockingbird) before I passed back out again for another hour. Then we were on the drive home from Houston, Texas, and I stayed awake (and hungry) for that. Because this was around nine at night, when we finally got home.
So, now I'm home. In Texas. And a little lonely, because Pixie isn't here, and I got used to sleeping with her in my bed, even if we're not dating anymore.
I'm working on a few request fics from kh_request, and I'm definitely going to get started on the next things I have lined up (Gypsy!Demyx, I am looking at you!), so look forward to those in the next few days, I guess?
