(no subject)

Man, I spent most of my day reading this. This is so batshit. Makes me glad I'm a lazy, avoidant fangirl.

( Three days later, I finally decide to post about meeting the boyfriend's mom... )

I've been really bored lately. This kind of confuses me, since I JUST got a Wii (an early Christmas present that I already knew was coming) and therefore should obviously be gaming my heart out, but I think part of it is that I really haven't spent that much time with my friends. I've seen Nick for a few days, I got to see my friends at school last Tuesday for a couple hours, and Friday I got to hang out with Ricky for a while, but other than that I've been stuck at home with no one but my family to talk to (and while I love my family, I honestly can't be around them all the time or I go kind of crazy. I loved Germany, but I was kind of isolated most of the time since I spent most of my time with the mom (who was usually a house wife) and met only a handful of people outside of the families, most of whom were polite but not incredibly interested in me. And while I've got a few friends left in Jackson that I can see, I don't know anyone in the area my mom lives in. So right now I'm really craving human contact, and I'm not going to get it on a regular basis until school starts. At least Nick is coming over tomorrow, and on Friday we're driving to Jackson so he can meet Ruth Ann (which promises to be interesting, believe me) and hang out at my dad's for a bit.

I'm also kind of pissed off because I can't find some stuff in the boxes I have here at mom's - my Japanese textbooks, my tablet, my DVD spindles with all my anime on them, and the Gamecube controller that I could have SWORN was in the bag with my PS2, Gamecube, and PS2 controllers - and I'm either not recognizing boxes (which is entirely possible since I apparently can't see my TV in the practically empty basement), they're in Dad's basement and buried under all of his crap, or they've magically disappeared like my GC controller and I am shit out of luck. I really hope I find this stuff, though I am mostly freaking out about the tablet. I was having trouble finding it before I left for Germany, so maybe I should just double-check at Grandma's if I can't find it at Dad's. Oh god, I hope my stuff turns up.

While looking through my boxes, I DID find a journal that I received for Christmas last year. It's really pretty, and I haven't used it yet, but I'm tempted to use it as a pen-and-paper journal - problem is, I already have this LJ and I don't know if I'd want to just use it for private non-LJ stuff, write down everything and just copy stuff from the journal to LJ, or what. But this is a really pretty journal and I don't want to just leave it to collect dust, you know?

I need to email the IFYE people in Germany, saying that I am alive and okay, but I am feeling rather lazy about it.
