By the way, we won!

Today was the Hoffman Family Badger game. There was a great turn-out of uncles, aunts, and cousins. I gave a record-breaking number of hugs today because I haven't seen a lot of these people in a long time.

One of my uncles went vegan and lost twenty pounds. He says it's the easiest diet he's ever been on because you don't question what you can and can't have. You just know that animal products aren't ok. Then the rest of us went out to an Irish pub and I ate prime rib and had a Bushmill's on the rocks.

I also drank a lot of light beer. But don't let that fool you, friends. I still got as drunk as I would with the regular stuff. But I peed more. And as soon as I could tell that Dad was getting slightly embarrassed by my shwilly ways, I stopped drinking and went home. At nine pm.

Yeah, Mariah!

This song reminds me way too much of my adolescence.

And don't say Mariah isn't rockin' that body, because she is. Go Mimi!

Love

When I woke up this morning, I turned over and saw this.


Tasha and Cornelius were snuggling. This is, like, Indian in the Cupboard/Night at the Museum-type shit.

I am so happy we have such a loving family.

Dreams

I've been having dreams lately, dreams about my life. Not things that have happened, really, but things that could happen.

Last night I dreamt I was wearing a wedding dress and being walked down an aisle by my father.

I dreamt that I was kneeling down, talking to a little boy, saying "Please do not talk to Mommy like that."

Then after I had a montage of visions in my dreaming, where I was on a number of dates.

What I gather from all this is that I truly wonder if and when I'll ever get to settle down with someone with whom I can have a good relationship and be happy.

When it rains...

So it's been a long time since I've written, I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to no one really, though, because I've got no readers. A

Anyway, there's been a ton going on lately. I'm back in school full-time, I moved into a different(and more expensive) apartment, I'm working four nights a week at the bar, my dating life is the most confusing thing ever, and I'm trying to transition into what I'll call a "more responsible lifestyle".

I really ought to dedicate a whole blog to each of the said subjects, they're all quite complex and stressful. But to begin, I'll start with the first on the list.

I'm back in school. My first day of classes was stressful as hell. In one day, I had a panic attack, cried on the phone to first Mom, then Dad, proceeded to yell at Dad, then called him back to apologize for yelling at him. My classes are all difficult and require a lot of work outside of the classroom. My fellow students are all either much younger or much older than me. My books cost a staggering amount (refer to the sentence about crying to Mom and Dad), and when I get through this semester(with decent grades, I hope) I am going to get drunk.
