merely talk

rantings and ravings with little cohesion and plenty of pretension

Still alive.

I had a big ole party at my place last night. We played lots of fun boardgames, and I think I have to declare Anna the champion of the universe. She kicked all our butts while we pursued triviality, and then she and I as a team conquered Tribond. Thank you Arts and Entertainment!

I got up painfully early today to head out to my parent's cabin. Right now I'm typing on my Mom's lab top, looking out at the ocean. I can see Swartz Bay and a few other islands. It's pretty cool.

The trip here wasn't great. Both buses were completely packed, so I had to stand. Which was unfortunate and uncomfortable. However, there was a big group on young Scottish men on my bus. None of them particularity attractive, but I loved just listening to them talk. I do love the accent.

The ferry ride was fine. It wasn't too crowded. I just sat quietly and knitted my poncho. Which attracted a bit of attention from some neighboring women. I really don't like the ferry ride to Pender. It's long, and there are two stops before my stop. So you have to deal with the unloading and loading of cars several times, as well as all the problems that come with that. Today for example we were constantly bombarded with announcements for people to turn of their car alarms. Sigh. It was always mercedes and BMW's too. Of course.

Anyway I'm looking forward to a family dinner tonight, and my parents have cable, so I foresee some TV watching in my future!

Yay Pender! Have your parents encountered Derek and Michelle Masselink and their little daughters, Everest and Quinn? Those are the people I know that live there.

Is Liam there too? And Julia? I forgot to ask before you left. So what do you eat? Surely something independently tasty, not trying too hard like tofurkey does.
