"Half of what I say is meaningless..."

I don't know if anyone noticed, but my titles are almost always phrases from songs. I just thought I would mention that because some of them are kind of random (or less than intelligent).

It has been entirely too long since I've updated this thing. I really don't have much to say. This has been one of the most bizarre weeks I have had in a very long time. I can't seem to get things straight, but somehow I don't care. The days just seemed to crawl by. Everything seems to be happening in slow motion. Even now, I'm typing in slow motion (stop looking at me that way - you're just jealous because it's me and not you). I just need some undisturbed sleep and good food (not just some complex carbohydrate I find lying around and label a "meal" - heh).

I was able to do a lot of catching up with people this week, which was nice. Two friends I hadn't heard from since the beginning of summer have now re-entered my life. That's such a good feeling. I also spent time catching up with a few other friends, taking trips to Macon, and decorating pillow cases.

But there were a lot of not good things, too. My poor Daddy hasn't had a very good week at all. His defib. went off, which means that, if it hadn't been for the device, he probably would have had another heart attack (and the doctors have said he cannot withstand another one). I know God is ultimately in control, but it's still scary. It really made me stop and think about what he means to me and how I want to be the best daughter that I can be. It shouldn't take a life-altering event before we see how much people really mean to us, but too often it does. My family is making a lot of decisions now, and I know it's hard. Please keep mes parents in your thoughts and prayers.

My own trials seem pale in comparison, but I'm out of clean clothes, dreading studying for mid-terms (starting Monday), behind on Practica Musica, putting off guitar practice, and wondering about living arrangements for next year. I feel like I should feel a greater sense of urgency, but I had a wonderful evening at the SAI craft night, I have a roof over my head, and a place to sleep. Power of positive thinking.

YAWN. That's my cue. Goodnight, world.
