Home.

I forgot what humidity was until I got home.
My hair's not a fan, but I really like it when there's so much water in the air that you never quite feel dry. It's kind of like a security blanket.
For the past three days I've been waking up to chirping birds and rustling leaves and all of those stereotypical summer sounds.
My favourite, though, is the sound the plaster and wood of the walls make as the sun heats everything up. They groan and knock on all sides of every room.
It's not subtle either. I think that these sort of hazy descriptions are supposed to be more part of the scenery, but the creaks are loud and don't stop until I get out of bed to start the day.
Actually, they don't stop until nighttime, and then it's time for cicadas.

I miss college and everyone there already. Still, I am glad to be home.
I haven't seen any of my friends yet, but that will change in a few hours when people come over for pizza and movies.
FearNet is a distinct possibility. Awwwww yeah.
Vair, vair excited, even though I've been running around on the job hunt all day, everyday since I arrived back and have failed miserably at reestablishing any form of a sleep schedule.

Oh, and the Internet has contacted me.
INTERNET
Time to call Will Smith.

What else, what else?
Went to a concert with my parents, but that's for another time.
Because I am le tired.

And I'm watching The African Queen.
I love this movie way too much, and not just because of Humphrey Bogart.
Photobucket
Well, he doesn't hurt.

Um. My new Fringe post is up. I'm doing some ~research~ for the next one.
That was my attempt at creating suspense.

Aaaaaaaanyway...

Follower Love-Fest #6: Chelsey

Okay, I'm pretty sure that this whole not-being-able-to-click-through-to-profiles problem comes from my own poor understanding of technology. Every time this happens, I'm just going to make up things about my beautiful readers. And then I'll have to go to confession for lying. Or something.

Chelsey and I met on a cruise to Barbados. Originally, the trip was meant to have gone to Alaska, but there was a sudden tax on Bugles that year. The ship's captain, a big fan of the salty treats, had quite a stock on board and refused to pay the tax on principle. So, we changed course. The two of us met while trading our jumpers for sundresses when we docked. We've been pals ever since.

Bad habits.

I've always had a few.
I bite my nails, chew my lips, crack my knuckles, play with my head (the whole thing) when I'm sleepy, and fidget.
Thank God I never actually went to cotillion, or the the instructor would have likely been arrested for attempting to beat these most unladylike qualities out of me.
And I just couldn't deal with the guilt.

My newest habit is leaving the updating of this blog for too long, and then falling behind on reading as well.
Shameful.

Quick recap:
-I'm twenty. Icky, but I think I'll get by.
-My parents came over and good times were had, as predicted. We went on a family trip and it was amazing and I can't wait to see them again in a few days.
-I'm going between packing, cleaning, editing photos from the trip, and taking spontaneous naps right now.
-My last Fringe post was lost in the Internet, due to my own position as a spaz, but it's up now. So, that's cool, even though I felt awful for mucking things up.
-Mah buddeh took a five hour bus ride to visit me and I am so not worthy of her gloriousness. Where are Wayne and Garth when you need them?
Nevermind. I found them.
-Trying to get my act together in a big, bad way. I WILL READ YOUR BLOGS. Note the use of CAPS.

Follower Love-Fest #5: KLH

Okay, I'm going to be honest with you, kids. As with the first batch of lovely people, I can't click through to this young lady's profile. I hope she won't consider it libel if I just make things up. KLH's hair smells like fresh strawberries. She once made a cookie-pie big enough to feed all of the kindergardeners in her school district, and hand-delivered the slices to the twelve kids who were out sick with the chicken pox that day. Professor Utonium is her real dad.

And, just so you know, it's Judy Garland's birthday. I love this woman. Celebrating with a PB&J for dinner.
Happy birthday, Ms. Garland.
FDR, forever. I gotchu, girrrrrrl.
I couldn't avoid it if I wanted to, so just deal.

LOVE!
