[insert witty subject title here]

You know, I keep thinking of these witty things to put in my journal, but by the time I get around to posting anything, I've forgotten them. Maybe I should keep a little notebook around my neck so I can remember what it is.

The house is beginning to look like a war zone. The lady we're staying with is going to be moving to North Carolina soon, so she's been packing up her things and things are in a bit of a disarray. So far we haven't heard anything about the potential housing situations we've looked into. I'm doing my best to hang on, but it's getting to be very hard. *sighs* I just have to hope that something comes along soon. I know, I've bored everyone with all of this stuff a lot, and for that I apologize.

I haven't heard anything about the job I applied for, but then I haven't checked my other e-mail yet. I still plan on applying to the one other place so I can cover my bases. I just don't know anymore.

Dad did say something interesting to me the other day. He said that if I wanted to, I could move up to Michigan and he'd help me with my housing and employment stuff. And for the first time, I seriously considered it. I mean, I can't stay here forever. However, I can't go anywhere anyway. I have too many responsibilities here. Mom needs me especially since grandma's no longer here. *sigh*

Last night's 'Everwood' episode was really cute. It had Bright/Hannah squee in it and the big rumor surrounding Kyle online turned out to be true. Not that I thought it wouldn't, but sometimes you can't trust some of the stuff you hear online.

And I went to the bookstore yesterday and picked up a copy of RK 25 finally! I really like this volume. Why? Because Yahiko kicks ass, that's why. Now I want to pick up the latest issue of 'Shojo Beat,' because I hear the 'Kaze Hikaru' chapter in it is really cute!! And you know me and cuteness! I also bought two Dave Barry books and a couple of magazines.

Today I have vacuuming to do and dishes to put away.

Trivia of the day: There is evidence to suggest that ginger root is effective against motion sickness and nausea when taken in powdered form.

It is hard to do, but sometimes you have to put yourself first. I always thought I had to stick around home to be the emotional support for many friends and even family, but do you want to know what? As soon as they were able, they got up and moved on with their lives, leaving me behind. I finally realized that I was sacrificing too much to gain nothing, so now I'm here in college to make something of my life. No one back home has crumbled and died with my not being there, either. Sooner or later people need to learn to stand on their own two feet.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.......

I end up doing whatever helps me sleep best at night.

Oh, I know I can do it. I mean, I was able to survive being at college. But then, I was only really an hour away.I mean, a part of me would kinda like to try it, but then the massive guilt I feel keeps cropping up and I just brush it aside.

I don't know what I want to do, really. I mean, mom's going through a lot what with the housing situation we're in and with my grandma not being here, I just don't want to abandon her.

Actually, I haven't been sleeping very well lately...

Pssst. YOu need to by The HOllow Kingdom by Clare B. Dunkle! *cough*

It seems like everyone's dragging their feet when it comes to letting people know important information. And it's not boring to keep us up to date about the housing situation. That's what's on your mind, and you need to get it down. ^^

I say do what your heart tells you. *hugs*

You know, I keep thinking of these witty things to put in my journal, but by the time I get around to posting anything, I've forgotten them.

I do that ALL THE TIME.

Why not talk to your mother about moving in with your dad at some point? It need not be next week or next month or even next year. But it might be healthy to initiate a discussion about it. Maybe she will surprise you and encourage you to go, or say that after you're moved and settled she won't need you so much etc. Good to keep your options open!

And no worries about talking about moving stuff. This is an ongoing stressor in your life and it makes sense that you would vent here about it. It's healthy that you are actually - so please don't stop! :)

Oh? Care to give a brief synopsis?

Thanks. I'm glad you don't find my housing angst posts to be repetative. Hell, I'm finding them a bit repatative, and I'm the one writing them!! All this waiting, however is starting to drive me crazy!! O_O

I think my heart is telling me to stay. A part of me would still like to go and see the family I don't get to see very often, but I think it's best I stay here, for a variety of reasons...

Thanks for your support! *hugs*

I'll give it some thought. I mean, it also depends on if I get the job I've applied for down here or not. But it's not a possibility I'm going to completely rule out. If it's still weighing on me after we move and get reestablished, I'll think about bringing it up to her...

And thanks for understanding about the moving stuff. Posting about it does help me not to panic about it as much and I really appreciate all the support that everyone's been giving me. You all have been such great friends!! Thanks!

Ack, sorry! Just got this reply in my email. O_o Um, The Hollow Kingdom is basicly one part BEauty and the Beast, one part the Greek myth of Persephone, with goblins and elves thrown in for good measure. Put in a blender, hit puree, and you'll have this particular tale. ^^ It's a wonderful book (the entire trilogy is great, but the first book is my favorite), especially since Marak, the goblin king, is so obviously not human, and yet he's never made out to be a villian. He's by far my favorite character. ^_^

What section can I find this one at?

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

Um, it should be in the Young Adult or Teen secion by Clare B. Dunkle, but you might have to special order it.

*nods* I see.


Thanks for the tip!
