2 1/2 hours until I leave for Brandy’s house. Yesterday was cool I guess… she showed up at 11:30 on the nose. We ended up giving each other our gifts. My aunt Jan picked us up and we went into my mom’s house… she was having a ‘family game night’ blah… it wasn’t too bad everyone seemed to like her, even Mike. Jonathan hung on her most of the time… overall it was good. I won LIFE, and yeah… whatever.

Jan brought us back out, it was snowing pretty bad, and we got stuck behind someone with summer tires still on (moron) going about 5 miles an hour. Brandy was amazed that anyone was out, and she couldn’t believe that we didn’t think it wsa crazy bad out. Stinkin’ snow-wussies.

We got back and I walked Brandy to her professor’s house to do some work. It ended up not being what the professor said it was going to be and it pisses me off, but whatever… I guess it’s not going to end up being a huge deal at all.

So, I went home and took a nap and ended up coaching Stacey through a little bit of her setting up her computer. I walked back to get Brandy, I was too early by the time I got there so I stopped at Clay’s (and Jay’s, but he wasn’t there) place to kill some time, he was playing a role playing game, I guess it’s more of a campaign game, but whatever… D&D with figurines. I think he may have a girlfriend now too… I am not sure what exactly he said.

Brandy and I ended up renting Snatch (it was pretty good) and getting Chinese food for dinner.

Okay, the house is pretty much clean, except for my room.

I am excited. My mom called today and pestered me into pretty much telling her something that I wasn’t supposed to, I didn’t tell her but she figured it out. It was something that I had promised Brandy about… I dunno. Anyhow, she ended up calling back and apologising for putting me in that type of situation.

I am talking to Megan (from Cali) and Mars (freshman year RA)… yeah. It’s cool. I miss talking to her and it’s cool to actually talk to him for real.

I'm back now…

Well, it's been a crazy past few days…

Last time I really updated was what, the 23rd? So I went to my mom's house and did that whole thing… Church on Suday was pretty cool, Andy did a really really good job, spoke on Ephesians 4. After church I went home and headed over to my grandmother's house to give her her present (a telescope). I think she's afraid of it. After we got home I went and finished my shopping for my family and all that… whatever.

Monday, didn't do much until we went to my Uncle Ken's house for the whole family thing. The food was really good, that and the addition that they've put on their house is huge and it's really really nice. I got to really talk with a few relatives, even Mike, although he was being his usual jerk, not really listening and all. Got mostly money :)

Christmas was just crazy, I got up at about 10:30, I haven't done the 'get up at 6 AM' thing in a long long time. Opened all the stuff, got a shaver, the OneDay DVD and some sermons, and some other stuff. We ate our Christmas brunch and all…

My dad picked us up and we went over there, got money, clothes and the Simpson's DVD (first season). We then went to Julie's parents' house and ate there, I got money from them and a <i>TrapperKeeper</i> (?!?) from her sister… am I still in elementary school? I am not sure but I didn't think so….

Spent the night at my dad's house, couldn't sleep, the couch wasn't that comfortable and my mind was just going and going… mostly stuff about Brandy and I. This next week (<i>I GET TO SEE HER TOMORROW!!</i>) and the long term future, my head's not right, or maybe it is, hmmmm….

So yeah, the 26th we went and saw <i><u>Lord of the Rings</u></i> it was good but I think I would have understood more had I ever read any of the books… oh well. After my dad took me back to my mom's house I went out and got presents for Brandy's mom and for Greg (becasue he surprised me with a gift that I didn't expect)… nothing was going on so I went home and played Brian's playstation, and Roy watched for a while…

Yesterday (wow, this is a long one huh?), got up at 3 (wheee!!!) my mom and I were going to get her present for Brandy but she ended up having to get some medical tests done and I took her to get those instead. My brother had an alumni hockey game for McDowell (the highschool that he graduated from), anyways that lasted until about 10:30… there was a girl that was working at the concession stand that was wearing a Juniata Soccer shirt, which is where Carrie went to school… I asked the girl if she was from there, but she had just gotten it at the Salvation Army, still a little wierd. The brought me back last night and I was up til 5 doing nothing… Brandy called and woke me up this morning (good wake up call!). She's a little different at home than she is here, but I think I may be as well, it's okay, it's still the making herself consistent in Christ thing…

Speaking of that, I haven't really felt close to Him lately, except for while I am purposefully worshipping, I still haven't really gotten back to worshipping Him with my life all the time and I don't know why… I am just a slacker.

My money issues, not that I've talked about them on her or anything, are slowly clearing up… I am getting a $200 or so check from the place that I worked this summer, I got an email from the woman that did payroll (that had the really cute 3 year old) and she's sending it out, wooo!! Money!

Yeah, well, here I am now… sitting in my cold room and I need to clean my house for Brandy coming tomorrow. Yeah… clean, call people, do stuff…

Well… on my way 'home' to Edinboro.

December 27, 2001

Yeah, I am not sure where home is now, but I am headed to Edinboro… I'll give a recap for the past few days real soon, like when I get there. I get to see Brandy in 2 days.. yay! I picked up another 'present' for her last night. We'll see how that goes over.
