What I bought today

So there are three girls in my apartment. 
There are also three tvs.  with cable.
And there are three dvd players.
Three vcrs.
Three computers equipped with the internet and dvd drives.
And we basically only use one.  My small tv. 
not the large tv in the living room.  But my little one.  Especially since I've purchased a cable for the tv.  Oh well.

Late Night Question

At what point does it become too late to go to bed and still wake up in the morning for class?  And is that the same point that it becomes better to stay awake and pull an all nighter?  And does the time you went to bed the previous few days factor into the decision at all?  What about the time you woke up those days?  And does the material that is keeping you awake factor into the deciding point?

Letters

It makes me happy when I get stuff in the mail.  And I got a letter from an old friend this week.  In which he spent a page explaining to me why he took so long to write me back.   And according to my best friends not only do Mish and I look alike, but we have basically the same handwriting.  Any way, as happy as his letter made me, it made me a little sad too.  I mean this kid meant a lot to me once.  And maybe still.  I really don't know how I feel about him right now.  And I don't how I should feel about him.  It felt so right over the break sitting in his living room with his family, playing with his neices and watching the guys play rockband.  Oh they let me play too, but it was more fun to watch.  I feel like maybe he could be the one, but then I'm like wait.  I haven't talked to him much since 2006.  That's like two and a half years.  And now I start thinking I like him again?  I can't like him again.  He's never going to live anywhere near me again. We want completely different things from life.  Or at least we did.  I don't want to move  to Japan so my husband can be a manga artist.  But I do want to be able to sit around with my future husband's family just as comfortably as I can sit around with my own.  And I want someone who has siblings that I can get along with.  Even though I'm the oldest of a large family, I do want a large family.  Not neccesarily my immediate family, but an extended family too.  I want to start really random family traditions.  And to think that all this random thinking was started by getting a letter.  A single letter from an old high school friend.  Who by the way is not much younger than me, despite only recently leaving on a mission.

What I'm going to do with my tax refund

Go grocery shopping!
Pay rent :(
Put money in savings
Buy some big bulky plastic drawers. Preferably pink.
Get a cable for my second tv, so that I can watch tv in my room when roommates are out in the living room macking out. This is not directed at any current roommates, but at the fact that I'm going to be living with five other girls again.
Maybe buy a drying rack for my laundry so that I only have to use the washing machines. this will of course remain in my room.

Baby showers and the language barrier

So the highlight of my weekend was going to my Aunt's baby shower.  Her son is due in about a month and it was quite fun to spend time with my Aunt, Uncle and cousin.  What was not so fun was the fact that I had to figure out how to play the games by watching every one else play. It was enjoyable any way, but I was the only guest that is not fluent in spanish.  And since my aunt and many of the guests were from Chile this did cause quite a barrier.  I hung out with the ladies for awhile, but I got bored of not understanding anyone, so I decided to hang out with my uncle.  Which ended up turning into him educating me on conspiracy theories.  Like way intense ones that whether they are true or not have lots of dead bodies piling up around them.  And then I came home to find my roommate gone, having left the computer on playing a movie and a half eaten slice of pizza on my other roommate's bed.  Which whether I believe the conspiracy or not is a rather disconcerting thing to come home to have just talked extensively about the mysterious disappearances of many people reportedly involved in cover ups or exposing cover ups or closely connected to those involved.   Don't worry, all is well.  I rather miss my music intensive uncle, he was more fun than this conspiracy minded uncle that seems to have replaced him.  I feel bad for his kids, they will never know how much fun there dad used to be.  oh, he's still way fun to hang out with, but not as much as he used to be.
