My brother in LA; best brother ever

Of the only two I know out of...4 brothers? (and 3 sisters?) *nods* He called Saturday and we talked, poor guy had just gotten up (at 3pm!) and we had a good chat. I have to pity him though, he works at nights and he has to work all week this week (Mind, my brother in Vancouver has to do that AND travel). So we had this half-awake chat about what's been going on and such and he said he'd be coming up in July to visit again (yay!) and that he would also come in May for grad---that is, if I still feel up to going. Have been having doubts lately. Speaking of which, I should get in touch with my other half-brother in Vancouver and his wife and tell them the dates so they can plan ahead. Even if I don't go, it'd be insanely fun to go out for lunch with all three of them one day. Haven't seen Dereje (one from LA) in about three years.

Oh and I feel like ranting about people's after-grad drinking plans but I won't mainly because it's completely stupid for me to rant about such a thing and it'll just be irrelavant as it'll likely fall on deaf ears. Oh and MAINLY because it'll make me sound like I'm an overprotective, strange, scared person. Yep. Don't mind me, I've just been completely turned off from the wholedrinking alcohol thing. (that and red wine...it tastes like Benadryl Elixr that I had to have every single year during allergy season) Funny thing, and I said this in my report on Unconcious Civilization, you get persecuted for not following the majority and you're sometimes pressured to follow said majority of society. I tell people "I've been 18 for x-months, I haven't really touched any alcohol..." and it's like "WTF are you mental?". *shrugs* I'll stick to my ginger ale and ginger beer (which isn't really alcoholic because it's basically Jamaican ginger ale but really gingery). I don't think I need to go drinking to make me feel 18, I never really grew up with--or rather lost-- the whole "I can't wait to be 18 so I can drive, drink and be independant" mentality.

I think my learners' expires next year even. And no, I've never really taken advantage of the fact that I'm an oooooold person who's already going grey. Mind, with all the things I have to handle, it's really no surprise.

Ah, whoops, I'll stop there. That was a rant in the making...

I woke up feeling a bit, and unusually, worried (for my dad, whoelse?) so that's probably it. I did go to bed a bit late too. (because my dad decided to turn up the volume on the TV really, really, really loud at 12am for reasons unknown) Yay 12hrs of sleep!

Because I am special, I shall quote something I heard at provs:

"Canada does not have a Constitution ladies and gentlemen!"

And echoes of a horribly botched pronounciation of "Québec" danced in my head. Oh dear.

In other strange news, I had a wierd dream a while back that I still remember where a grenade was about to go off and the pin kept falling out and someone kept putting it back in out of panic and it would fall out and someone (me?) would put it back in out of panic. And the grenade made a wierd ticking noise when the pin waas pulled. Is that what usually happens with grenades?

Ah wierd dreams... I shall attempt to interpret it later.

Hey! After 4months, I've figured out the whole my-portion-of-payment-for-bills-and-the-house thing works now!

I feel as if I have accomplished a great feat. :D
