I need to get out of this house. I've been home for the last few days while my mom was in the hospital to answer the phone, receive packages, all that stuff. And now that she's home me and my dad have to take turns being around. At first I welcomed the chance to stay in my PJ's all day and play online, but I'm already restless to the point of madness. I am, however, going down to AA's in Salem in a few minutes to meet up with Camille and possibly others for some drinks, so that should calm my nerves. Later we'll probably head over to Joe's...he just quit his job, so his house has again become party central.

Christmas shopping continues on the downward spiral. Finally found something for my dad, but still need something for my mom, for a few friends, and...gah...for my old man. What do I buy a guy who has enough money to buy himself anything he wants, plus make sure it's innocent enough to not arouse suspicion if found by a certain someone else? *bangs head on keyboard*

I got my new contacts yesterday after a very uncomfortable eye doctor visit, *Warning - for any of you who have a quesy stomach concerning eye exams, scroll down to the next paragraph.* I've got a new doc whose a lot nicer than the old, but he did this new thing, which makes sense, but was awful - he basically flipped my eyelids inside out to check for wear from my contacts. Gah. Worst feeling ever. I know hate my eye appointments worse than my dentist appointments.

I really need to start packing. Like, tomorrow. I think I've been putting it off not because my room is so full of shit, but really because it's so damn cold in here. Winter was a lousy choice for me to move.

Anyways, off to AA's. Feel free to drop by.
