another kind of me

Think of them as thoughtlets.

For the week of january 5, 1997

To start, Netscape just killed itself with some sort of wacky error, which is my computer's subtle way of telling me that it's tired and that I should really shut it off and go to sleep.
Sleep is for the... tired.

Was surprisingly happy today. Just took down the Christmas tree. Clipped off all of the branches and lay them all down around the plants in our yard that feed off of whatever it is in pine needles. Finished right before it started snowing for the first time this winter. How appropriate.

It was strange for me that this really didn't feel like Christmas this year. Even my mother agreed with me, saying that she didn't mind taking down the decorations early. Was it the fact that I'm away at school? Or just a general feeling. Don't know. We'll see what happens in the future.

Strange day it was. Getting a bit restless here at home. Even prodded my mother to go shopping with me. I've never done that before. (well, actually, once last week, but for the same reason) Running out of things to do here, and my friends are all up at school. Or back at school, depending on which set of friends we're talking about. I don't feel that badly about it, since everyone's working really hard and i'm lazing on my ass sleeping 'till 11:30 every morn.

But still, a person can get lonely and bored. And I do have some (one, two, more?) projects to do up at school, so I can't wait to get started. Of course projects means that time's almost up on vacation, so I'm trying to prolong the inevitable. Better just suck it up and enjoy the time I have here. And get my ass in gear when I get back.

Damn, this was a fast break.
