Personal

Rock on — looks like I’ll be heading home for Christmas! Just got done talking with dad…we don’t have the final details yet, but it looks like I’ll be taking a cab straight from work to the airport on the 21^st, flying out of Seattle at about 7:45pm, be in Anchorage until Christmas day, and fly out of Anchorage to come back about 6:45pm on the 25^th. Can’t stay any longer than that, unfortunately, because of my work schedule, but at least it’ll be better than missing out entirely. So, I’ll actually be back in Anchorage.

Hm.

Village Inn, here I come!

Well, okay, so that’s a lie. It’s not much fun at all. But, it’s rather nice when I make it through a round of paying rent, bills, and balancing my checkbook, and still having $572.53 left in my Washington Mutual accounts. Plus whatever I’ve got in my Ak USA accounts, which I’m not touching except for paying my DSL bill once that starts coming in…I’m actually managing to get to a point where I really think I can survive down here on my own two feet. Pretty darn spiffy.

Last night after I got off work Candice picked me up and we headed out to her college so that I could meet some of her friends and see the college band play. Was a nice evening — I got to put faces to some of the names she’d been telling me about and take a look around the campus, which was neat. One really funny thing — one of the girls going to her school is someone I was in German class with back at Bartlett High School. I don’t think she ever recognised me, though….

So that was about it…home by 10:30 or so, in bed about midnight. Not the most exciting stuff in the world, I suppose, but that’s the way my life goes.

(I’d mentioned earlier that I had two posts planned for Thanksgiving. I didn’t get around to putting them up Thanksgiving day, so they go up today, instead.)

Things I’m thankful for:

Just a quick note to say that Belinda is all sorts of cool, and that I hereby bestow instant celebrity status upon her (at least among the five or so people that read my website). :D

That’s it for the moment…just had to get that done. I’m a bit late in mentioning it, is all.

I’m online! It’s slow (dialup connection currently connected at 46.6 kbps), it’s not under my name yet (Casey let me borrow his username so I could get on and get to Speakeasy‘s site to set up my own account), and it’s not on the mac (I picked up a modem to slap in the PC at Fred Meyer) — but I’m up! It’s a start….
