Current mood:

nerdy

I have more stockpiled Peeps and dark chocolate M'n'Ms then I have ever wanted. Mom keeps buying junk food for the family out of a guilty fear that she'll make everyone eat what she needs to eat (diabetic diet), then forgets what everyone likes and doesn't like and ends up buying a bunch of lemon sandwich cookies and non-chocolate Poptarts that don't get eaten and THEN sends all of it home with me whenever I visit. Guh. And all the while I'm trying to control my eating habits as well since I've been so sedentary, and my mom - who by the way has dropped a lot of weight and continues to do so, and she looks great and is staying healthy - SABOTAGES me.

I'm not really mad about it.

Hmm .. so my birthday was pretty sweet. I was initially scheduled to work that morning, which was a paid holiday, but my supervisor got the analysis rescheduled and I got to head up to GR Thursday night. We (Celina, Ron, Pat and I) went out for the midnight drinks, which was exciting and led to a few minor shenanigans. Then my birthday greeted us with a nice little snowstorm that got us stuck in traffic for a few hours and snowed in for the night, so we played Rock Band and had a few drinks in the basement. So it was a good weekend.

The next day Celina's dad made me sad because I was getting ready to think about leaving for Adrian, and he was all, "So, how long are you staying? A month? .. There's always room for one more here." And I was all .. maaannn!! I wish!

And my dad had surgery on his right arm, so it's in a sling and he has to take sink baths and get Mom to cut up his food and find someone to tie his shoes every time he leaves the house. And he's taking it pretty well. Probably better than I would.

I just blew two and a half hours on Smash Bros Brawl. I got my ass kicked in GR this past weekend by a drunk guy *grr Pat* so I'd better work on that.

Mm! Two weekends ago I went to the Rivendell season opener in Columbus. I hadn't fought in like a year and a half so I was awful. But it was fun! Everyone was really friendly and courteous and I can't wait to go back. So now I may have someone to camp with at Rag *dance* and won't have to rely on the civility of jackasses.
