Madonna "Dress You Up" |

Hey kids. I'm up way late at my cousin Mike's house in O'fallon (about twenty minutes from St. Louis) and I felt like typing because, well, I can.
Here's some things I got for Christmas.
-Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen cds
-Dance Dance Revolution
-Traveling case for vacation
-Clothes
-Trivial Pursuit
-Moneys
With some of that money I got two Madonna cds and a Til Tuesday cd too.
Feeling better and less distracted lately. I look forward to spending the night at my Uncle Jim's house for the next couple nights. One of those places where you can kick back, watch Game Show Network, and forget that any problems ever existed. Even AIDS.
The other day I spent most of the afternoon and evening at my cousin Bryanna's house. I brought my newly acquired dance pads and DDR, and I honed my skill for the crowd of onlookers (aka my godmother, her husband, and their semi-drunk friends). Learned a new card game too, and I'm desperate to play it with people, and I think people may be scared of me because of that. We'll see.
Also, after the day at my cousins I went out to Elyse's (with a newly acquired sore throat) and chilled with the kids. Elyse's lamp almost self-destructed or something, the monkey cahin fell off and it was very dramatic. Rocky Horror was on the tube... Tim Curry must be one of the last great heroes of Earth, for real. That night I managed to fend off my parental obligation to come home at midnight and I went out with Elyse, Monica, and Kimmie to Danny's house in Alsop. Watched Upright Citizen's Brigade DVDs and basically made conversation with the majority of BDEC that was there. I think I made a few necessary wisecracks too, I dunno, it was late, I was getting tired. Good fun though.
And now I'm in the St. Louis region, the beginning of my small-but-probably-necessary departure from Lemont during this bleak-weathered winter break. Still can't stay totally in the moment though, I feel like I'm constantly pondering, constantly searching for answers within a problem that isn't even clearly defined. I'm confused about things I should soon get past. I am just trying to vogue this mother out. I am still delving on the old, when, realistically, the future is soon gonna be pretty life-changing, and I should start to look forward to and anticipate that future. College, kids. Pretty soon I'm there. Actually, the idea of college is beginning to rock my world. I just can't wait to be in a place where I get to passionately dive into all the areas of study I love. Can't wait to prove myself and educate myself. I am like woah.
So long for now, I'm sure my cousin's family doesn't want me on the computer this late. Too bad I'm a bad-ass who can't be stopped. I hope I can update again soon, preferrably before the new year. If I can't do it by then, then Happy 2004 to everyone...and hey...2004 is the year I graduate, by the way. Oh lordy. So much is gonna happen. Wah-frigging-bam.
And with that, I depart,
Louis.
