I'm back.

Seven days housesitting, two minor breakdowns, a term paper and a half, one neurotic bird, a busted alternator, a bachelorette party, some heartbreak, and the most hellacious bout of PMS known to man--I never thought I'd ever say, THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY. I lived. It's good.

*whew*

There's so much to say and yet I'm too tired to say it. So, for now, I'll say that I'm alive and relatively well.

Time to catch up on your lives.

From G Boo's Speech

Urm, and I'm deeply amused by President Bush once again...

From tonight's speech...

"America will fund the construction of a modern, maximum security prison. When that prison is completed, detainees at Abu Ghraib will be relocated. Then, with the approval of the Iraqi government, we will demolish the Abu Ghraib prison, as a fitting symbol of Iraq's new beginning."

So, let me get this straight, the bright shiny symbol of Iraq's new beginning is demolishing an Iraqi prison in exchange for a US built prison? That is a beautiful, beautiful, apt metaphor. Thank you George--the peaceniks could not have said it better.

Interesting fact (as revealed to me at the shooting range this weekend): I am an extraordinarily good shot. I've never touched a gun before but I managed to blow out the center of every 15 and 50 yard target that I encountered. The Rangemaster even hugged me (then again, I also gave him a tip).
Heidi reminded me that while this gets me thousands of lesbian points, it definitely pushes me further into the scary straight girl category.
Hrm.
I can see the personal ad now. Heh.

Antsy. Bored. Frustrated. In the mood to pick a fight. It's a dangerous time right now, being me.

My little sister has been going through my junior high school yearbooks. This is the conversation that ensued.

Little Sis: "Did you guys really use the word 'bitchin'?"
Me: "Um, yes, yes we did."
Little Sis: "You know, no one really uses that word anymore. But don't worry, my teacher explained what it meant."

God I feel old.
