carpel tunnel

I thought that maybe I had it because my right wrist was hurting really bad for two days. Then I thought that maybe it's a sign to not spend too much time on the internet. It's gone now, but I got the message. It's summer, and I don't want carpel tunnel, so I'm not going to spend that much time on the compy nerding out. It's your summer too, so take a break from my blog, oh diligent readers, and get out into the sunlight.

That being said...It's great to be home. The family is hilarious and in top form. Dad with his usual wit and one-liners ("dad-isms" Kuya calls them), Mom and her quirkiness, Kuya and his combination of wit and quirkiness. Nice.

Have done an enormous amount of unpacking and rearranging. I have too many things. Need to get rid of clothes that don't fit, cds I don't listen to, and things that I don't need. Out of all my possessions, I probably have the most books. I have hundreds maybe. Is that normal? For my age, I mean? What does that say about me? That I'm smart, or that I want to appear smart? Don't answer that question.

Caught my mother's cold. I didn't have a single cold for the whole spring semestre. Not one, and I live in a dorm with some 30 other girls who share the same bathroom with me. You would think I would catch something--thank God, I didn't. I kiss my Mom hello, and now my nose is gone. I've been using a handkerchief. White with green stitching. Cute. Hankies need to make a comeback.

I'm going to go now, I can feel the carpel coming back...

potential places where I might work:
-Borders
-Barnes and Noble
-at my mother's dentist

plan for this week:
-clean, arrange, get rid of stuff
-job-hunt
-visit dentist (wisdom teeth)

stuff you should read (when you're not reading my blog):
-A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
-The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson
-high-school books that you didn't read because you opted for cliffs notes instead (you know who you are)
*also look in my profile under "favourite books"

thanks, catherine. that myspace thing sounds just like being in high school with that "strive to be popular" theme you write about. not cool. i hope you have an awesome summer too.

haha. thanks for commenting chaunce, i just saw your comment right now.

i guess green has always been a fave color of mine, sometimes i just wouldn't say it aloud, you know? i like nature, so that must have something to do with it.

i don't know if they're genetic traits, per se. you have awesome traits too, chaunce, and i think it all has something to do with the living environment you were raised in. i grew up in a funny fam, so i guess that influenced me.
