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.
