life and its crazy changes
5:25 p.m. - 2005-05-24
so much has been going on lately. at least it feels that way.
megan graduated from college. crazy! i'm so happy for her. it must feel pretty surreal to graduate from college. maybe someday i'll go back and upon graduated i'll write about how funky it feels. but anyway, go megan!
mom bought a new house and has moved in now. things between her and dad aren't going as well as they were when they first agreed to split up. i guess dad's changing his mind about a lot of the money he was going to give her. i don't know why the change of heart but i hope it stops soon...mom can use the financial help, dad doesn't need nearly as much money as he has, and i don't want the relationship between them now to fall apart. it's delicate enough as is. but anyway, mom's happy in her new place. i do worry about dad, though. all by himself in that big house i grew up in. i've been encouraging him to sell it and buy something smaller elsewhere. "to leave the past behind me, you mean?" he asked. i told him it is more about looking toward the future. and anyway, he'd be forced to start doing SOMETHING. i know it's what he needs. otherwise he's just one man in a huge house that he'll always feel depressed and abandoned in. i wish i could be in maine right now, helping them both out. i think i'll talk to ben about going to maine sooner than august when he gets home. alternatively i suppose i could just go by myself...but i don't really want to leave him here for 2 weeks by himself. and i'd miss him terribly. we'll see. i definitely feel needed back home right now.
erika's pretty much spent the past week here. it's been fun. she's very easy to live with. we've been doing some crazy resident evil 4 playage. i don't think she'll be spending the night tonight, which is probably a good thing. i haven't had much alone time with benji. i miss our deep discussions about whatever. lately i've been either alone with erika or with both her and benji.
star wars: revenge of the sith was fricken AWESOME. and frightening. and disturbing. go see it. all of you.
sarah day has been in my dreams a lot for some reason the past few weeks. i don't know what the deal is, but i'm very compelled now to contact her and see how she's been. i heard she graduated, as well. i can congratulate her if nothing else, right? right. at least it'll provide an icebreaker, hehe.
well, i suppose i should do some dishes or sumfin.
all in all, life is a pretty amazing thing.
