SEATTLE AGAIN

A lot has happened since I last posted. I am now living at home with my parents, waiting anxiously to depart for Incheon South Korea in February. Living here is difficult.

I left San Francisco with Allan in a 10 ft Budget Truck December 16th. We almost made it to Seattle in one day, but we got caught in the snow storm at 12:30 at night. We spent the night in Centralia, WA. We left San Francisco at 7:00 that morning. Frisco flew up to Seattle and we greeted him at the airport the next day, we all bummed around for a few days. We were confined by "The great snow storm of 2008." Inches of snow kept us inside more than we would have liked.

I have been in Seattle for over 10 days, and I haven't done much. Last night I went out for a few drinks at the Cha Cha Lounge with Meghan, Mike and Kwasi. I drank more than I probably should have. It was nice to see Kwasi again, he seemed relatively okay for having recently broken up with his girlfriend. It seems like everyone's recently broken up with someone. Lucky for me, I only have myself to worry about. Yesterday my sister and I walked around Greenlake. We talked a lot about relationships. She seemed to be as pessimistic as me. The good news though is that my parents are back together.

My mom isn't watching her sugar though despite the fact that she recently learned that she is pre-diabetic. Since being in Seattle I have tried to avoid confrontation with my mother as much as possible. She drives me a little nuts with her questions, questions after questions. She watches too much T.V. Since the T.V is always on, it pulls me in. Watching awful reality T.V really depresses me. I get a little curious watching it though, because I can't really believe that people are actually like that, so shallow and so fake. It is kind of like a social experiment for me.

I have new music to listen to since I got an Itunes gift certificate for x-mas. I am happy when I have new music. Also Meghan and I exchanged some stuff when she was home.

I have been sleeping in a lot. I have been eating a lot. I have been a bit down.

The weather, living at home, being bored all have contributed to a few extra pounds on me...

I am ready to start working out again. I am ready to start feeling good again. I want to be me again.
