0 comments Today I spent a long time out of the house for the first time in a while. But I still couldn't wake up early. I went to bed around 6:30 AM and woke up at 2:30. I had set my alarm for 10:30 but of course when the time came to actually get up I just shut it off again. I feel so much more productive and better about myself when I get up in the morning, it's a wonder I don't do it more often.



So anyway. I was kind of happy because my sister was sleeping in too. Today was like her Saturday. She had been working for seven days straight before today. She woke up when I got up. I lazed around for a while and finally summoned the will to take a shower and everything. I'm really the most useless person and it sickens me sometimes.



I showered and then had to go to Wal Mart to get the oil changed in the car. It didn't take very long. I really should have done it yesterday, but hey I was too lazy. What a surprise. We finally left around 5:30. The drive was okay... boring, as always, but she let me listen to Adam for a while. I get so absorbed in his music. Usually I like to sing along or something but when I'm listening to Adam I just shut up and soak in every note. And it always makes me feel better. So yay.



We got to College Station and went to eat at Subway. Then we got to talk, which was nice. My sister and I have grown apart a lot in the last few years, but we can still sit and talk to each other. For a little while we talked about Sarah. It's nice to be able to talk to someone that's pretty much in the same situation that I am. And we wonder the exact same things. Like, what is our future? Will our friendship almost always be reduced to phone calls and IMs? I don't think I could be happy with that for much longer. It would be different if Sarah had actually taken the time to try and visit this summer. But now we aren't going to see each other for a year or longer. It's not like she's making plans to come see us for winter break, either. Instead she's thinking about seeing Andrew.



It would have been awesome if she thought more about moving here. I think it would be really nice, and it would bring us closer, and there's not that much tying her up in Las Vegas. She tells me all the time that she 'hates the city'. But I guess that's a load of bull. Still, if she moved down here it would just be something temporary. Not that big of a deal. Come down here, find a job, save up money. Save on rent. Live with her best friend. But apparently that's not good enough for her.



I'm getting off topic. It seems like always nowadays when I talk to my sister for a while the conversation will eventually turn to smoking. I'm just sort of used to it by now. It'd be nice if it didn't happen, but I'll get over it. I just wish she hadn't turned into one of THOSE people.



When we finally got all the stuff out of storage that was the reason for this trip, we went to drop it all off at the house she'll be moving into. Sarah C. wasn't there, it was a bunch of people I didn't know. And the power was out. I don't get why they were all sitting around inside. It was cooler outside. The house was alright, I guess. It was hard to tell with the lights off. But it smelled like pot and I don't think I'd ever want to live there, even if my sister keeps asking.

We got back around 11, and man I'm sick of being in that car. But tomorrow we have a bit of a drive. We're going to Austin to see Harry Potter in IMAX. First IMAX movie I'd have seen other than this human body documentary years ago. I'm excited, let's just hope I get up at a decent hour...
