First of all, I have to say this while watching the presidential address (even though it's overrunning the new episode of Family Guy) to the nation: George W Bush, I really respect you for admitting that the intelligence on the WMD's in Iraq was wrong. Never thought I would have heard that from you, and I think it takes a real man to do that. I may not agree with the war still, but I feel better about having you as my president.

In other news, last night was great. Me and Camille chilled at AA's for awhile, then headed over and met up with Joe, his cousin Matt, and Bess for awhile. After a few beers we decided to head over to Denny's for some late night snacks. Hahaha, how awesome! We ended up with this dude Marc as our waiter - Joe and Nad had had him before, and he's crazy awesome. He reminds me a lot of Mike, actually - very friendly and impulsive. If I could fall in love with someone based on a few minutes in a late night diner, it would be this guy. Hehehe...very cute.

Today's been pretty chill...my grandma and my aunt and uncle came over after lunch to visit my mom. I briefly mentioned something about packing while they were over at which point in time my mom glared at me. I don't know why she's so intent on making me wait until Christmas to tell the family I'm leaving. First of all, it's only 3.5 hours up the road, and secondly...uh...I don't think springing this on everyone on Christmas is the best idea. Well, you know my family and dramatics.

Ok, so tomorrow I'm gonna finish Christmas shopping no matter how long it takes me. Then I suppose either tomorrow or Tuesday I'll start packing, for real. I *sorta* started today by at least working out what I need to take immediately, what I need to just pack for later on, etc. I actually don't have too much to take with me overall, but I still need to box up everything for either later, or for when my parents decide to move out of here. *sigh* So much to do...
