Ahm eein taynessee, ayand ahm startin tuh sayound lahk it.
it's really difficult to type that way for an extended period of time, y'know?
anyway. I'm in Covington, after spending a few days in Nebraska at a neat little bed and breakfast, and then attending my brother's wedding, which was short, but nice. The people there were actually pretty cool, and for the most part completely destroy most concepts of what a small town is supposed to be like. I guess that's what my brother likes about the place, eh?
Got back into Covington last night. I'm... restless. Argh. One day and there's already nothing to do in this stinky little town. It's not as bad as it could be, I guess... well.. actually.. it is. There is a lazertag arena that wasn't here before, but having people to play with would probably help a lot.
I thought there would be a computer at my parents' house, but they've gotten rid of all the equipment me and Michael left behind, except for this shitty little IBM thing with a 200meg HD and no CPU. I'm currently online at my cousin's house, and hating her keyboard, which has very tiny keys that don't work well with my fingers.
I don't know what I'm going to do for work while I'm here. I cashiered at the Wal-Mart as a teenager, I suppose they'd probably have me back for the summer or something... there's a Randstad, but I really don't know what would be available for me here, particularly since I'm carless. I was thinking walking might be an option, but the distance into town is a lot longer than what I remember it being, heh.. it's also very very hot. It's currently 80 outside.. it's April.. ugh. By July it'll hit 100, at least. No.. I won't be walking anywhere, except maybe out to the mailbox.
Michael says he can ship me a system soon, but until then, I'll be relying on whoever happens to have one.
I tried calling my Memphis friends, but everyone's number has been disconnected, damnit. I hate grapevining, but I suppose I'll have to, since mom and dad don't have a memphis phone book (well, they do, but it's a yellow pages from 1997. Helpful.) and 411 won't work on their phone for whatever stupid reason.
So.. I'm here, I'm bored, restless, frustrated, and there's not a single faggot in sight.
I'm very glad to be back in touch with my family. I am. Me and Mom and Dad had this mushy "I love you!" moment, and we all cried, and then we got home and I started remembering exactly how fucking stagnated this town is. :P
I miss Portland, and I'll probably be coming back at some point, but who knows when that'll be.. I'll have to work for awhile and save some money and see what happens. 'till then, it's sitting at mom and dad's watching television. Yay!
anyway. I'm going now, i've bitched enough.
