IT SNOWED!

Formulating thoughts for a well-written, descriptive entry detailing exploits and schenanigans that took place across the ocean. God I miss Edinburgh. America's fun, but that city almost feels like home (as much as any foreign land can). I'm also trying to come up with a creative, insightful, witty and heartfelt message to Andromeda. We've all had the kind of days she's having right now,...

Okay, so I lied. I'm staying at a friend's place in Newcastle for a few days and felt like dropping a line.

So why didn't anyone tell me Edinburgh is bug-fucking nuts on new years? We show up to find Hogmany '05 on in full swing. Which meant there were absolutely no cheap to reasonable places to stay.

So chalk another one up. I've spent...

This'll be the last time I get to post for about two weeks. So, I'll leave you with an old Irish blessing. I'd leave you a Scottish one, but they all end with "get fucked" or something of the like...

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains...

Soulcaliber II (Xbox) score so far: me - 19 brother - 1. I like being a bastard.

But the Advance Wars battle is still looming...

Due to the influx of requests, I have hijacked my father's camera (a nice automatic/manual camera I've had the pleasure of whoring out in the past) and shall take many a purdy picture of my travels o'er in Sco'land.

Home for the holidays. At least, according to Kerouac.

I'll post more when there's more to post. As it is, I'm waking up, enjoying a glass of milk, plotting to kick my brother's ass in something, and generally killing time until holiday-associated familial stress kicks in.

One week 'till Scotland. Fuck yes.

Addendum: Do not listen to Devlab while driving. It put me in one...

Well, I still draw a pulse. But just barely. I've been afflicted with migraines all week. Needless to say, light and sound hath been my most mortal of enemies.

Being cooped up gets me a'wondrin' sometimes. It's nice to extend that branch out to other people, to get to know them.

So what about you? Tell me something interesting. Tell me what drives you, what...

What I have learned/reaffirmed in the past week:

1. Funerals suck.
2. Friends do not.
2a. Especially when mixed with alcohol.
3. Having a really great week at work does not necessitate the following days will be of the same caliber.
4. In two weeks, I'll be overseas.
4a. For two weeks.
5. I really can go quite awhile without a decent night's sleep.
6....

Off to a funeral.

Ill tidings have befallen a great friend of mine.

So, here's to you Stef. I dearly hope the universe realizes it's cut you a shit deal, and compensates appropriately. Soon.

Things like this should not happen to test someone whose resolve is so strong.

Introspection:

Recently, I posed a sticking question to Chameleon as he was in the throes of self-doubt and guilt, trying to find his place in life. I asked him what he wanted. He gave it due consideration and responded with a lengthy journal entry that made me smile. In retort, he asked me his own sticking question as I was in the mental fog of...
