mom wants us to have a family counseling session. she's decided that the best day is the fifth.
...see, this is a problem. i was planning on leaving for pennsic on the fourth, then going to pittsburgh for a few days that week to meet up with keith, and not coming back to virginia until the 17th or so. if i don't get a ride on the fourth, i can't get a ride until the 10th, and i can't visit keith at all.

is it just me or is making someone cancel plans to attend group counseling a *bad* idea? if this happens, i will be very unlikely to be reasonable about anything discussed in the session. i got really pissed off just discussing it with my dad. he thought it was reasonable because i'd only be missing a day of pennsic. and he thought that i must not have looked hard enough if i couldn't find a ride to pennsic between the 5th and 9th. if someone wants to drive me up there, sure, i'll go to counseling on the 5th. that was one of my original hopes, to get mom or someone to drive me to pittsburgh, and then get magnus to pick me and my stuff up when keith left. it might even be a possibility now that i have leverage - i can't go to counseling unless you drive me to pennsic afterwards. still pissed off about the situation, though. i love how my mom expects things she plans to override anything i've planned. i think she still wants to be in charge of scheduling my life.

[17:30] shadowsong: so if you don't know who i am, why are you messaging me?


in other news, i was productive today. well, while i was awake, that is. returned a pair of pants, got the wooden chests from jo-ann, returned library books, and got a replacement bulb for the burned out taillight.

however, the asparagus that i bought went bad, since i waited too long to do anything with it. feh. i finished off the last of my burritos for lunch. i think it's at least partially the seasoning that goes in the meat that makes them so addictive.

now i have to husk corn. whee.


also, nana sent me a book (of speeches, it looks like), which i don't know what to do with (i've been paring down my book collection as it is, and this doesn't meet my very stringent criteria), and a pewter celtic designed bookmark, which is currently being a hair ornament. :) it's pretty.


anyone want to buy me a cd / mp3 player for my birthday? or a replacement for my cd travel alarm clock (icw-cd2000, sony)? i'm having a hard time adjusting to the new alarm clock, and waking up to a buzzer is making me unpleasant.

so i finally got the correct tracking number, and discovered that three of the packages are listed as delivered... the other one is listed as "billing information received". what the hell is that supposed to mean? did they put the wrong postage on it or something? at least i know the packaged exists.

i need ice cream. i've been trying to figure out if the pants i want exist, and if so what they're called, and how to make them. it looks like there's a decent pair in janet arnold, or i can fudge it without much trouble at all.

currently trying to find that antonio mor painting that i saw in queen elizabeth's wardrobe unlock'd and haven't found anywhere else since. arrgh.

need to go grocery shopping - the milk turned again. after ice cream, i think.

this is posted in the normal client instead of semagic. something's fucked up with word, and semagic opens word to spell check, so instead of opening, semagic hangs, and i have to force quit the program because i can't do anything else. once it worked manually opening word, but this time word's hanging as well. rrrrgh.
