Now, *this* has been sadly neglected. <pats Xanga>

Brief update:
I passed all my classes at the college for the fall quarter.
- No more Math!! YAY!
I took the SAT.
- Stupid Math.
I registered for classes for the winter quarter.
- Dipping into graphic design... We'll have to see how it goes.
Schola classes are going well.
- I think Dickens had an awful lot to say, I just wish he didn't need so many words to say it.
I had an awesome Christmas!
- You have no idea.
I probably won't update again for a while.
- Remember the bit about registering for winter quarter? It starts next Tuesday.

I hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving, a very Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! Have a great rest of break! (What's left of it.)

Ciao.

GROUP SHOT!

We had a good time.

Wow y'all...

I have to tell you that I am *deeply*, *deeply*, moved by y'alls' kind thoughts, and prayer, and words of encouragement. (<hugs KB and Juliet>)

Oh wait... I didn't get any... HA! (Except for KB and Juliet, I love you girls!)

Iiiii am just giving y'all a hard time. (Sheesh, a girl can't even leave the county without being ignored.)

I'm finally home, btw! I got stuck at airports for two days and *finally* got to my house at three forty-five this morning. <nods> I missed my house. So anyhew, I am just letting you (who all care *so* much, as evidenced by your loving comments) know I was back. <grin>

Ciao!

Hey everyone! England is *amazing*, I could possibly live here except that I'd miss home too much, and everything is going wonderfully! Tomorrow is our last day and I'll be home by early early early Friday morning so I will see y'all then! <waves> Ciao!

Happy Fourth of July!

Hey hey, y'all! The party was *awesome*, but it's over and I have to go crash so that I can get up and pack for a day and a half of camping and make sure that I have all my stuff to leave from the camping trip straight to my trip to England.

This will probably be my last post from the states. <nods>

I hope y'all had a great fourth and I'll talk to y'all latah! <waves>

Bye!!

And in Portland bind them.

It's 11:52, my aunt and uncle and one of my cousins are here for a few days while they wait to fly to Japan for 3+ years, and everyone is on round two of a game of Shanghai. They're all laughing themselves silly and the game is not progressing very quickly (everyone's attention span is hiting a wall right about now), and it doesn't help that when they're not in hysterics they're working on getting there.They started playing the first game song time around 9 and it didn't end till 10:40 when I served everyone ice cream, and this game was started just about 11:30. <head a'splodes> We'll be up a while.

Tomorrow, we are planning on having a *very* late brunch/linner of pancakes and fresh homemade strawberry syrup. *yum*

Bwuahahaha, irresponsible blogging, gotta love it. Oooh, that should be a new campaign. "Stop Irresponisble Blogging!", "Friends Don't Let Friends Blog Tired", "Say 'No!' To Late-Night Blogging".

Alright, I'm off. More cards to watch. <salutes>

[Edit]

Well, five rounds, countless hymns, nine Beatles songs, quite a few cups of tea, plenty of fits of laughter, and an hour and a half later, the game is over and everyone is going to bed. <g> Now I'm really off, wake me up on Monday. <trundles off> ("She's sooooo glaaaaaaaad, she's tellin' all the world...")

Me: <trying on some corduroy pants> Do these look ok?
Mom: They look fine.
Me: But, do they look ok as *pants*? I feel like I'm wearing a carpet....
Courtney: You *are* a carpet, there is no escape from it. Embrace the pants.

Soooo glad to have her back.
