It's been a lot longer than I thought since I last wrote! Time flies when you have none. Ha. I've been working and working at my other job and working at my OTHER job, and then hanging out with Matt for a couple of hours, then sleeping, then working again, etc. This week I was lucky because I got a few hours off in between jobs and I cleaned my room a little, brought some stuff to the dry cleaners, and did some laundry. I'm more used to the idea of Amy getting married while I'm gone now. She wants me to visit her in London and then she wants to fly me out to Texas during UEA next fall to compare cool lifetime stories. Mom wants us to get a sister picture taken, and we're wearing Amy's "colors", so she bought me this worn out silk that just looks like worn out silk to me, and she's making me a skirt. I told her that I didn't really have a white shirt to wear with it, so she offered to pay for one. I found a perfect one at Express, but I liked the green one better, so I tried to convince her to let me get that one, but she said it had to be white. Since she was in a good mood about things, I told her my frustrations with having all of this stuff clogging up space in my room that I just wanted so I could give it to my kids someday. I was hoping she'd say she would get me that hope chest she never bought me or tell me to box it and put it in the storage room, but no, she said, "Find a place for it in your room." It IS in my room. So much for that. I finished the fifth Harry Potter book on CD today. I've been loving listening to the books. The reader, Jim Dale, is amazing! The fifth book is less exciting though, because there is no overall conflict in it. There are also long dialogues that go on and on compared to the others, but it didn't make me any less excited to listen to it, even taking it in the car with me as Matt and I went places. I also got the first two discs of Smallville's second season, and we watched those. The third through the sixth came in and we should be watching those soon.
Matt and I had a barbecue last weekend, but my never-ending tiredness caught up to me while I was co-hosting the barbecue, and I fell asleep for four hours, while they were playing the drums and guitars. Whoops.
Mom is upset with me again because Matt and I are still "wasting each other's time", but I don't feel like that and I wish that she could see how I felt about it. I think that if she knew how our relationship has been she would understand better, but I'm not about to explain it all to her when she would just complain about us anyway.
Matt's mom is really excited about going to Germany with us. I'm scared about his parents going because I truly think that his dad will tell us what to do and Matt will do it as usual and that they will both get tired of running around like I want to do so that I can see as much as possible as quickly as possible before I have to leave. I wish it could be just Matt and I, but his mom is so excited, and my parents would be even less happy about it than they are now (well, my mom anyway), and like Matt said, they would pay for a lot and it's great to have people with whom to travel.
I'm starting Fahrenheit 451 book on CD and the reader sounds like some old guy trying to catch his breath. I don't like him. Well, I will write later about my fear of shy people.
