Some introspection

Here I sit, 10:30 pm. I'm half-heartedly watching ER on TV, drinking Mike's Hard Lime (good to be 21, eh?) Anyway...

Um, I was going to introspect, but I forgot what I was going to say.

I think I need my other blog.

Another post

Sorry, a bit of a dirth for interesting titles. Well, let's see... Christmas at my aunt's was fun. Saw Sue Sampsen there and other such people. It was relaxing. Now I'm back at my parents house in WV. My mother started having problems with her leg and she couldn't walk or stand or even sit. So I've been helping her manage. Last night I decided she needed to at least have someone look it but there was no way I could get her down the stairs and into the car and so on. So, we called the hospital and they sent an ambulance for her. Yeah, that was a first for me. I got to ride shotgun. We were there for quite some time. I mean, my dad met us there. I was there for about 4 hours, but then I came home and went to bed. Mom and Dad came home later. Apparently it's sciatic nerve problems and there's not really anything that can be done but to bear through it. Well, that's all for now.

Here in North Carolina

Well, I had to take the bus to Asheville, NC from Champaign because I wrecked my car. It was okay. Seemed kinda the ghetto way to travel, but hey, it was alright. Anyway, yesterday we went to eat on the Biltmore Estate. 'Twas very nice. Then we toured around the house. Supposedly it's the biggest house in the United States. Needless to say, it was very big. Very lavish. Kinda reminded me of what you might think of when you read a book set in the early 18th century, you know, like a lord's house or something. Very cool. Today we went back to the estate and toured around the grounds. Was also very nice. Yeah, so tomorrow, it's off to my Aunt Barbara's house where we will spend Christmas. It should be good. So that's all for now.

By the way, to all who asked, I am not damaged from the car wreck. My back was very stiff the first day after, but other than that I am fine. Could have been a lot worse. Fun fact: The guy who crashed into me was hauled away in handcuffs. I asked the cop why, and he said that there was a warrant out for his arrest. He said I should feel good for helping to take a wanted man off the streets, and I was like, yeah, too bad in doesn't pay for the car repairs.

So, now that's all.

News Flash

Guess what? I crashed my car yesterday. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I did. Got crashed into, I should say. Wanna see?



Now I have to deal with insurance crap. I can't believe it.

I guess I should post...

Yeah, sorry, not much introspection going on right now, so the blog is not that interesting. Um, I now have a cell phone, a car, um, working on the whole job thing. Making scarves for family, doing other Christmas presents. I'm driving back to WV in about 5 days, I think. I don't know what else to say. I don't miss Ireland. I'm happy where I am.

Here's a blast from the past: Cirque Du Soleil's Varekai is currently playing on Bravo. Brings back old times.

Just so you know

Well to my few faithful readers, I just wanted to let you know that I have arrived safely in Illinois. Drove about 8.5 hours today - wasn't too bad. Little bit of snow, but nothing like the other night. Anyway, my Bo and I are off to get a cell phone for me.

The most harrowing two hours ever

Well, I went to see Polkie in Philly, and that was cool. We went shopping in Lancaster, which is Amish country. I saw buggies!!!

Anyway, driving home was fine for the first four hours, and I was forty minutes from home when I hit the snowstorm. Oh, it was awful. It took me about two more hours to get home, and I couldn't see a thing. I thought I was not going to make it home. 30 mph on the interstate. It was just terrible. But I made it. Hope I never have to do that again.

Back in the US of A

Well, what can I say that it's good to be home. I was sad to go, but a little more excited to be back. Today I went and signed the papers for my car! And then I drove it all around! Yay! What a cool thing. Tomorrow I'm up to Philadelphia to see Polk. Yay! I told her she could drive. We will probably get desperately lost but oh well. I will be going to church with her tomorrow night, so I will meet all the people I've been hearing about. Anyway, not much else to say. Bought some wool to knit scarves for Mom and Aunt Barbara. Mom's is going to be way cool. Anyway, flights were uneventful, blah blah blah. All is well.

For the sake of a new post

I just want to say for the record that I do not think that it is lazy to take one day - just one day - like, say in a month, to sleep in.

Anyway, I'm leaving the day after the day after tomorrow. I'm looking forward to being home. Yay.

I've been finding all sorts of wonderful people through Ringo. Very interesting.

That's all.
