No Update
So, I haven't updated in a really long time. I don't have anything particularly interesting to share, so I'll jot down some random thoughts I've had lately. (Query: Can you "jot down" on a computer? Since the computer is not really "down," is it more like "jot up"?)
1) Dallas at night is creepy. Not b/c it has one of the highest crime rates of any large city, but b/c cloudy nights are actually much brighter than clear nights. The city lights bounce off the clouds and bathe the city in a slightly horrifying orange glow. It's like night in some old movies, where people turn off the bedside light and it somehow magically becomes brighter in the bedroom.
2) I have 20 days left to shop for Christmas and have bought 2.17 presents. That is one full present for a someone, 2/3 of a present for someone else, and a half present for a third person.
3) I spent a week at home in Kansas. It confirmed exactly how much I miss my family. Sometimes I feel about 7 years old. There are days I just want to live at home and have my parents feed me and take care of me and my little sisters entertain me.
4) I got to sit on the 7th row at a Dallas Stars hockey game. It was another opportunity for me to feel 7. You could hear the players yelling things to each other! And hear the puck thumping off the goalie! And watch the players' faces! It was awesome, even if I couldn't really see the other end of the ice and if the Stars lost 0-3 to the Islanders and their 15 year goalie.
That's all for now. I'll try to be better.
