I've been sick and it sucks. My eyeballs hurt. My nephew has been trying to cheer me up by fake-reading the newspaper to me very loudly. I feel bad about missing these two days of work, but there is no way I could have even stood upright for five mintes, let alone 8 hours. So oh well. i feel a little better now. I am going to check my email, pay more attention to JAke and go back to bed. Okay.

I think I am getting sick. I worked all day and at the end of it I was so cold and tired I thought I would not be able to drive home.
Tonight, when Tom took the kids to eat gross fast food somewhere, Sarah and I stayed here. We talked about our father and that was kind of sad. I also have to say, though my sister comes off as such an asshole sometimes and can be horribly bossy and demanding (and jokingly does things that hurt me all the time, like hitting me really hard and saying it was a friendly, affectionate kind of hitting), I really love her. I can't really imagine being closer to anyone else. I guess at times I thought I was closer to, well, certain other people, but look how that has turned out.
Speaking of which, Brian called the other day while I was at work. I did not call him back. Even though I miss him right now, when I am feeling tired and lousy and thinking about the things I miss, like sleeping in our bed.
But sleep is good anytime and anywhere, right?

Today was my day off. I spent the whole day with Jake, who was home sick. We watched several cartoon-movies, which all blur together in my mind now. A little bit ago I was going to go to bed, but Shauna called from Philly. It sounds like they are liking it there. It makes me a little jealous.

it's all true. : except, really, my mom thinks I am lazy and pathetic.
This is what I have been doing:
Waking up and feeding the kids because my sister is eight months pregnant and has suddenly and uncharacteristically decided she needs to sleep for about 14 hours a night.
Going to work. Freezing my ass off all day while being forced to discuss what Christmas trees will fit the dimensions of whose living room.
Coming home and hoping there is still hot water for the shower.
Providing adult conversation for Sarah.
Hanging out with the kids. Putting the twins to bed.
Finishing application for school, which is due really soon.
Drinking two beers with Tom.
Sleeping.

I had my first day of exciting Christmas tree salesmanship today. It was pretty cold after a few hours of standing around outside. I'm still thawing out. I should sleep under the woodstove or something.
Thanksgiving is done, which is good. My family was driving me crazy all day. We were at Jenn's and the kids all wanted to jump on the pool cover like it was a trampoline and had to be distracted with boring board games. I went to go help Jenn and Pete and my mom in the kitchen and then I almost cut my finger off with one of the knives and Jenn yelled at me for bleeding on the green beans. Then they all started having an argument about who did not want to drive me to the hospital, because of the potential for getting blood on their car. It didn't hurt, but I was feeling pretty irritated with everyone. Sarah ended up driving me in her station wagon and that was okay.
I really am inheriting money. If it sufficient to pay off every medical bill I have had since my school health insurance ended, I will be totally satisfied.
I feel bad for talking about my father's money that way.
I only got 6 stitches.

Well, a lot of stuff has happened. I am at my mom's house, which is not so great, except Eli is here and he is fun, though currently doing massive amounts of multiplication problems for homework. I am using Pete's laptop. It's kind of hard to type on.
Update:
So, first, I got trapped at Jenn's house for five days because my radiator blew up. She paid to get it fixed. I think I need to find some gainful employment now and pay her back.
...and my dad, who sporadically calls me every few months but hasn't actually seen me, or Sarah (Jenn and Eli having their own respective fathers who are a. living in two towns away or b. haven't made an appearence since the late 1970's after going to New York to persue dubious acting careers), since I was nine years old, is a missing person! No one has seen him since the 5th of Novemeber and his car turned up in gas station near some lake. When I told Shauna this she was all for going to look for him, but I don't see myself going to Virginia anytime in the near future. Also, I am just not that upset. He is kind of a dick.
Lastly, I am going to go back to school. I don't know what else to do. Take that, useless studio art degree! I want to be a weatherman.

I'm watching a terrible movie that I can't remember the name of, with Jenn. People keep dying, but it seems very fake. The Fiance is off on business and Jenn seems pleased to have company. I kind of enjoy coming here. Their house is really nice. It's warm, too. But my sister pisses me off sometimes.
She told me she thinks I shouldn't stay with Sarah anymore because I would wear out my welcome. Then she told me I should take Prozac.

Back in Mass. I am getting so very sick of this drive. I went
to the doctor this morning. Shauna came. We waited for a very long time. I got my cast off. My foot is kind of sore and weird. But it is all good, I'm sure. And I have not seen Brian.
S & J are leaving in two days. The house is empty as can be.
I am trying to not be depressed about this. Jaaz seems unsettled about the whole thing, even though PA is where he is from.

| how can you be %106 compatible with someone? |
[20 Oct 2003|11:45am] |
I am not very sexually compatible with anyone, apparently.
Nothing is happening here. My sister has a cold. The twins are insane and woke me up at 5:30 this morning. I talked to Brian two nights ago and it was weird. He was very vague about everything and kept making mysterious blanket statements about how he felt. I was kind of relieved to get of the phone and watch a stupid TV-movie with my brother-in-law instead.
I am going back to MA in a week to see Jaaz and Shauna before they move, get the cast off my ankle, avoid drinking and avoid Brian. Fun.

Lipstick Lesbian:
You like to wear make-up and take your time getting
dressed up. You're very femme and so are most
of your friends. You probably like to shop a
lot and paint your nails with your girlfriends
while watching chick flicks.
What Kind Of Lesbian Stereotype Are You???
brought to you by Quizilla
This is the strangest quiz result I have ever gotten. For some reason everyone on my friend's list was taking this and I thought, Well, although I am not a lesbian or even a woman for that matter, I too will take this quiz.
For the record I don't usually like to shop. This may just be because I never have any money though. But damn, I have been known to paint my nails on occasion.
And I have NEVER worn make-up.

I am back in Vermont. The drive seemed really long. I got here and everyone was waiting for me and wanted to have dinner and I felt bad for being so late. My nephew gave me a cake that he had frosted all by himself in a truly terrifying shade of bright blue and it dyed everyone's mouths blue. I was happy to see them all, blue mouths or not.
I talked to Shauna a little before I left MA. She had these pictures she was getting quite nostalgic over, back from when we all lived together when everyone was still in school. There were some really awful ones. And some of Brian from when I first met him, too. And some awful ones of him and me together. I don't know.
I told Sarah the short version of the nights events and she said, "Did you SLEEP TOGETHER?!" very loudly and Tom got mad at her for saying it front of the kids. So she said "They don't know what that means." What could I say? I thought that it was implied.
I am going to sleep now.

Last night might be the most fucked up night I've ever had. Where did I leave off? I guess I left the bedroom and Shauna cornered me. She was very drunk and dramatic andshe was like, "I have to tell you this NOW." We went outside and sat at the upstair's neighbor's picnic table and she told me she had gotten a new job (she teaches art "part time" at a jr. high school that pays her really badly)and she was going to take it and it's in Philadelphia, where Jaaz's sister lives. I was kind of annoyed that they hadn't told me. So they want to move at the end of the month. Shauna was like, "Don't be mad! You can come visit us." So I went back in thinking depressing thought about my best friends marrying eachother and randomly moving to other states. I had some gin and tonics or something. I started talking to Brian again. Now, I am not saying I don't remember anything that happened from that point on - but I don't remember it well. I do know that when I woke up this morning I was in my old house. It was the weirdest feeling. At first it seemed quite normal, looking at the bureau and the tree outside the window and hearing Brian breathing noisily in his sleep and there was even one of my paintings on the wall, but then I realized I was not supposed to be there. I considered that maybe I had magically gone back in time and this was actually several months ago. I felt really crappy. I had to crawl down the hall to the bathroom, I couldn't find my crutches and I was all dizzy anyway and then I went in there and my toothbrush was still in there and Brian's toothbrush was there and some mysterious third toothbrush was there. I thought I would just wash my face and stuff and go downstairs and call Shauna and get back to her house, take a nap, drive back to my sister's. But Brian got up. He acted like nothing was wrong. He asked me what I was doing and if I needed help and we went downstairs and he ate breakfast and I just sat there. Then he drove me back to Shauna's. He asked if he could call me at my sisters. I couldn't really say no.
Shauna thinks this is all very funny. I don't think Sarah will think it's funny when I get back tonight. She's developed a serious vendetta against Brian.

I'm in Massachusetts.
Last night I had dinner with my oldest sister Jenn and her wacky fiance, who I think is secretly a Jesus freak. Really. Not that he is not nice, but it's creepy.
So then I came down to see Shauna and Jaaz and do something for my birthday, which is tomorrow. Or, um, today, I guess. Since it is now tomorrow. (?) So we are having some sembalance of a party and I have been drinking but only a little. My friend Becky was checking her stocks on her laptop and she said I could play with the internet so I am hiding in Shauna and Jaaz's room. Hiding is essential, because Brian just got here about twenty minutes ago. We had a really awkward conversation in front of everyone else and then he went and stood in the corner talking to Jaaz and drinking beer. He looks...good. But anyway, I guess Jaaz invited him, which is weird. Shauna and Jaaz are acting weird in general. Shauna burst out and said "Aughh! We have to tell you somehting, but later!" and Jaaz got all angry at her and gave her a look of death and they still have not told me. I feel a bit apprehensive.
I am going go drink and try to avoid Brian and hopefully not do anything dumb, break any other bones, say anything stupid. Etc.

Well, who hasn't fantasized about getting it on with Ewan McGregor in a hearse?
I was going to go to bed a little while ago. Everyone else is asleep. But I was just lying in "bed" (on the couch) thinking about dumb stuff so I broke into my sister's "study" instead (her study being a small messy room where she and Tom hide a lot of stuff, like the computer and a lifetime supply of old newspaper and a locked metal cabinet with bullets and money in it. No joke.
My birthday is on Sunday. Shauna remembered this and called me and asked me what I am doing. But when do I ever do anything?
