...the puzzle's almost done

so i guess i need to talk about everything that's been happening lately.

so i went to my dad's to start this vacation. we had dinner at steak n shake with david kat and fergie before we left, which was cool.

we then relaxed for a day.

the next day we drove to arkansas. usually the trip to arkansas is a complete disaster, drive and family we visit included. this time the drive was a 12-hour pleasure cruise in clear weather. then we kinda braced for a hellacious visit.

the trip actually went pretty well. i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that i didn't talk much about myself with my family. they are very conservative christians, and not too open to too many ideas, so i just kinda sat and watched everything and tried to keep any responses to questions short and appeasing. it worked. oh, i finally got an mp3 player.

i love my lil second cousins down there. i have 5 of em. red, the youngest, is just barely a year old, chase and leslie are my two twin cousins at almost 4 years old, jonathon is a year older than them, and the oldest two are matthew and cole, who have been pretty much inseperable since they were born cousins to each other nine years ago. they're all very sweet and well behaved, and i'm sure they're gonna be great kids.

cole broke my finger on xmas. to make the story short and sweet, he was trying to jump on me and he snapped my finger in half. i'll post the x-rays soon.

we left arkansas happy. then me and my dad got in our fight on the way home. it sucked and i had a pretty rough night after that.

after that david and kat came to visit. it was a good night, and we left the next day for fort mill, on new year's eve. i went to kyle's for xmas. i smoked myself out that night, and got pretty drunk too. all in all, a damn good night with fancpod. the next day was fun with just meetin with friends and then endin up at kyle's again. yesterday i went to the mall and met with chandler and then hung out with cameron mike and david at davids house. hangin with chandler was cool, it really made my visit a lot better. today i just went to the mall and chilled till i picked up brittany. we then went back to the mall and ate. then we picked up jenn went to fmhs. good stuff. hung out with david, annie, and fergie there. it was fun.

now i'm at kat's with david kat jenn and britt. they're doin a puzzle and i'm bored to death.

i really miss stx. can't believe it, but i miss it more than i ever have. i mainly miss my friends there. sammy boy, my wifey lizzie, megan, alison, chris, stephanie, kimble, and all the rest of the crazy fools down there. i'll be back sunday.

but till then, i've got some stuff to do.

tommorrow i get to drive myself back to GA. i love my new truck i've been drivin (my dad's avalanche he's givin me for college).

then i'm goin to visit my godfather eddie, and maybe drive down to visit bryan at fort benning.

either way, i hear the beach callin me back.
