Distant longing.

So I ended up going to bed at 3 AM last night, after having a long, mind-clearing chat with Sarah. The value of friendship, the social structure of it all, the bonding...such to the point that the sanctity and wonderful state of it all brings me almost to tears, tears of joy, that there are people who can understand me exactly, and I'm able to speak my mind without fear of rebuttal or chastising. Emotions are a powerful thing. (sigh) Now all is clear. Excellent. Now, we move into the next phase of my little endeavor.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!

Woke up close to 12, and began the day with Crono and company into the sudden complex twisted plot of Chrono Trigger. All hail the Epoch! During the day, I went back and forth between being online, gaming, board games, and phone. The snow continues to fall here, but this is annoying me. On any other occasion, I would love it...but...this is spring break (notice the word "spring"). Winter decided to get its last licks in, and according to the forecast, the snow will continue into Friday, where it will end...on the last day of winter. So, for the day, I was calm, until about maybe 20 minutes ago, when something new created stress. Anytime now, I will become an uncle. My stepsister, age 19, will be having her first child. Technically, I am the "step" uncle, but...I find myself a little annoyed...more so, pissed. Pissed at the fact that her promiscuity was like a ugly blemish on our family, pissed at the fact that she doesn't believe in "protection," pissed at the fact that she didn't tell our family she was pregnant until a couple months into the cycle, pissed at the fact that her promiscuity led her to a premature birth...pissed at the fact she's just 19. 19 years of age, and has a child. And to think...the father of that child was a good friend of mine, I met him in middle school, and he fell in love with someone that has him wrapped so tightly around her finger...I thought he had more brains than that, but...apparently not. Apparently he thought with his other head...and now this. Because of an accident, they are about to have a child. I don't get it. Enough ranting for now...

I hope to get in touch with Rach. I heard she had landed the job she wanted, and I must shower her in happy thoughts. I am proud, and I know she's very happy.

Tomorrow's itinerary looks like I will see my friend Danielle, who I haven't seen in 5 years, since the end of 8th grade. She's down for spring break, and I'll be tagging along with her, Maggie, and Dan D.

Goodnight, my distant friends. You know who you are. I'll be dreaming of you. Sarah...don't drink too much. :) Much love.

Nighty night, all.

Winter wants another round.

The highlight of the day today was the trip to SHS with Dan D. Getting past security proved to be easier than I thought, and as she said, Deb (my old chorus teacher) was waiting in the office for me. I saw C.J. and Shawn at lunch, and we talked, caught up, and I also saw Streiff, Mrs. Lyon (English teacher), DeFeo (awesome cool person), Mr. Collins (history), and Babicke (photo). I also saw the rest of the choir, many familiar faces, fun times had by all. Back at Dan's house, the snowstorm began, which is leaving somewhere between 5-8 inches of the white stuff. In a way, I want this to end, because I don't wanna be shackled up here when I want to see my other friends. So the day got spent with Chrono Trigger, and the occasional board game. Today I probably played the quickest game of Monopoly...took about 50 minutes to drive my friend into bankruptcy. The funny part--this was intended to be a timed game of an hour, and whoever was the richest at the end won. Now everyone's gone to bed, and I chat with Sarah...

Nighty night, all.
