| Greetings.
Well, it's Friday. Yay. Today I leave for Heber, my spider-infested paradise in the middle of nowhere. I will be going alone this time, which is slightly disappointing, but that means more alone time for me. I like alone time, as long as my telephone works and I can get a little chatter with someone if I get too bored. (I did find out also that we get half a wireless connection at Heber, imagine that. Unfortunately, it's a PC-to-PC connection so it really doesn't do much except make my taskbar look pretty.)
I plan this weekend to finish off The Good Guy, which I've been reading some of the time I've been at home and am fairly convinced I can finish this weekend if I don't get my puzzle. (Oh yeah, I indulged and bought this $22 puzzle from jigzoneshop.com, which is this super awesome website that sells every cut of puzzle from like 100 pieces to 24,000(!) pieces. Don't get me wrong, I love doing puzzles, and I have since I was a very young kid, but like everyone else reading this, I believe 24,000 pieces of cardboard is slightly excessive. So, I stuck with a nice 1000-piece cut. Those are pretty easy. I have done 2000 piece puzzles before, but they are a little more difficult, so this works. Wow, a long parenthetical.)
Anyway, yeah, I have done other things up there, like last time I stayed up til midnight watching The Pretender, and I slept til noon. It was brilliant. And, it's a brilliant place to do writing.
My week-long trip to Waldenburg has been put off for a little while, because of some things that are taking place at their house next week. I should be there the week after, but that means good news because I get to go to Grace Crossing. Yay.
My mom is getting on my absolute last nerve. Apparently she thinks because my bf values his friendships, this makes our relationship bad and not going to work out, etc. It is driving me crazy at I wish she would butt out. Personally, I respect him for valuing his friendships. If I was in the same situation, if Michal was having some shindig that she wanted me there for, and I had planned this in advance, and suddenly the bf invites me to do something, I would miss going with him, but I am not going to shift Michal just because of that. That is not fair to her. Anyway, all that to say... GRRRGH. That seems to cover everything. If anyone can hook me up with an alternative place to live for the rest of the summer, PLEASE let me know. I can only stand so much more of this.
Anyway, looong entry today. Thanks for bearing with me.

I am going to start my blog off differently this time. I think the way I've started it has gotten old. I need something original, like "Another pretzel untwists," or "Another witticism lies prostrate at the altar of bad taste" or something. You know, something you don't have to be completely wasted (or me, who is not wasted but just perpetually eccentric) to understand.
Anyway, it's Friday, and the week's ending. I finally made it over to Wilder to pay my bills and file some paperwork (just in the nick of time as well!), so I'm officially registered and have payments taken care of for HIST 4162! uber-w00t. Even more exciting was that I got 4 textbooks, a folder, and a 100-leaf notebook for $119.70! I know, it's for one class, and that's a bit extreme, but it is a UD class and I was expecting over $200 for the whole thing. I also went by the Bookstar by U of M to pick up the latest Dean Koontz book. So, I will have lots of fun reading that. I hear it's supposed to be a real nail-biter. 
Speaking of tons of fun, this is totally a brand new month, which means I am putting the worries of last month behind me. With the death of my grandmother, my financial aid being screwy, my parents being screwy, the potential closing of the CSC, my Memorial Day weekend fiasco, etc yada bla, I am just glad to be rid of May for another 12 months.
Things are slowly looking up for me this month. Because of the closing of the CSC, and me having nowhere to park and nowhere to live for the Fall semester, Mom is slowly letting her guard down regarding my living situation. Instead of forcing me to live at home completely against my wishes, she is considering letting me live in one of the dorms instead. Coolness, eh? If you have been praying, thanks.
Also, I am thinking of spending some time in Waldenburg again, maybe two or three weeks until around July 4th. That's not a fersure yet, but I will give more details when I get them. I do know I might be going to Heber next weekend, alone since the Metropolis convention is that weekend, but that's okay. I enjoy the solitude (but NOT the spiders crawling on my legs!!!). I will work on my stories, read some books, and play with my doggie daughters. Ahh, life is good.
Well, I should go, this is a LONG entry, lol. I will write again soon.

Well, another morning unfolds. I continue to deal with the ordeal that is living at home. I need an apartment so bad... with cheap rent... any takers? Please?
Anyway, I woke up after another weird dream. I was apparently on a journey and took Legend with me everywhere I went, though towards the end he was looking more like a stuffed kitty. There wasn't much color except for this purple-blue color that shows up as a night backdrop sometimes, but I rarely, if ever, dream in black and white as most dream experts say we do. Weird, huh? But I digress.
The days unfold soo slowly these days. I am still having a lot of problems with my parents; they seem to think that just because they are in a bad mood, everyone else has to be as well. And, it seems to be working quite well. I just hide away in my room, hoping it will pass soon.
But, hopefully I will be able to spend some time with my grandparents this summer, and also with some of my friends if we ever have this summer retreat that got talked about in the last days of Girls' group. I have to get out of Memphis for awhile.
Well, I must go for now. I will talk to you guys later.
Pax,

Well, today I saw interesting events unfold on either side of the back door to my porch. My cat, Legend, was sitting on the table as he sometimes does, but then he began to meow at me rather insistently when I approached. I looked out the window offhandedly, and I saw this:
I knew immediately that this was a girl cat, mostly because Legend was not growling at her. Also, cats with that type of coloration are only female. So, I tried to call the girl cat over so she and Legend could have a "discussion." (By the way, no worries about kittens here, Legend is fixed and I'm assuming she is too.) However, she didn't seem interested, and when Legend heard my sister's bus coming to the house, he made a mad dash, and eventually the girl cat did too. So, no matchmaking today. Aww. It just goes to show you, kitty cats need companionship too.
Random thought, before I go: Does anyone else have trouble leaving messages on answering machines? I called Chris today telling him that he'd need to take the cab to my house and that I'd give him the number if he needed it, and I felt like I was speaking a language only I could understand. I'm guessing in a few hours he'll call me having one of those "WTF?" moments. But I digress.
I hope all have a great day.

Well, I thought I'd change the font up, since I can't get the color feature to work on the Look/Feel editor.
Another day unfolds, I guess. I have been trying to write, without much success. I kinda ended up getting stuck in the same place when I wrote it last time, though, so maybe there is still hope for this story. I dunno.
Chris is coming over in a week. w00t. Unfortunately, we can't actually go to Heber because of his work schedule, so we are hanging around at my house and playing with a Wii that he happened to buy the day before yesterday. I am excited, but I am hoping he can go to Heber with us some other weekend. Ruby misses him. 
Well, that about does it for me. CYL.
