Fuck I need to not do that again for a while.

Oh my god. There's only so much videogames a man can handle at once before he feels like his eyes are going to bleed out of his skull.

Please tell me there's someone that wants to do something. Anyone?

Well, thank god people are recognizing that the greatest holiday ever is coming up soon. Is there going to be a mansion party this year? Or do I have to organize another bar hop? It's not like I don't mind just going out on the town for every holiday, but I just seem to remember we used to do things here, as a group. I don't even know what I'm going to do for a costume, but I'll think of something.

Had to take my fucking cat to the vet recently, stupid thing fell off my dresser and broke it's paw. Now it's not only walking around with a cast on, it's also got one of those little cones on it's head to prevent it from attacking the cast. Man that cat is a pain in the ass, but I love it. Here I thought I was the only one in the ever so small Anderson family that was accident prone. Here's proving that I'm completely wrong.

New people. Oh boy, fresh meat. I wish you all a good luck in avoiding the drama that inevitably creeps into the lives of those that even touch this godforsaken place. Oh, don't get me wrong, it's great here. Xavier is perhaps one of the best people I've ever met, and I owe the man a million times over, but this place is a hotspot for drama. If you're here for 6 months and don't either get your heart broken, have someone you know die, almost get killed, or end up with a drug addiction then you should probably invest in lottery tickets or hit up a casino.

Hahah. No, I jest.

Really.

Wow, you'd think these journals were our lifeline or something with the number of times that Xavier sent me a frigging e-mail to update this thing. I'm sorry, I'm not 19 anymore, I don't feel the need to get on my journal and write about my day. Especially when I haven't touched mine since Halloween.

Guess that I should start with what happened after Halloween. My grandmother had a medical emergency, and I had to go stay with my mom to take care of her. So, to Seattle I went. And in Seattle I stayed for months. I could bore you with stories of dealing with doctors, but I think I'd just rather skim and share some pictures instead, because.. well, that's how I do things.

So, the most interesting thing that happened there was the Saint Patrick's day celebration that some of the girls I met out there decided to drag me to. Lindsey forwarded me a few of the pictures from the festivities, and ..well, they're fun. I let them dress me, and so, I warn you now, the clothes are a little weird.

( Cut to save your friends list from dying of photos )

Anyways, after that, I came home after Mother's Day. Nothing really exciting after this point, you can read about the majority of my fun in Steven's journal. Memorial Day. *yawn*

Oh, I teach music by the way, if you plan on taking my class next semester let it be known that I'm one of the more fun teachers around this place. I teach traditional music, along with guitar. There's even a day last semester when I talked the professor into letting students play Rock Band in my class for credit. Yes, I'm that cool. Take my class.

I'm too busy for an actual update, since people apparently like to get dressed up and celebrate tonight. Who knew.

All of that for my birthday even, score.

I'm doing the usual grilling out on a holiday thing, burgers, hot dogs, etc etc. BYOB, everything else.

Oh, bring your own chairs too, no one ever comes to these things anyways, but I'm still offering free food. I'm just not bothering to haul out chairs.

Whoops.

I did it again.

( Home for the past few days! )

I'm going to go out back with a grill and a cooler full of burgers, hot dogs and chicken around 6 o'clock. Food should be fully cooked around 6:15 to 6:30.

Anyone is welcome to come out and get food, even if it's just to walk out, grab some food, and go out to much better plans, I've got a book, a few chairs, and a 12 pack of water, for all it matters to me, I could just leave the leftovers in the kitchen for someone to eat later. *shrugs*

Anyways, please, feel free to enjoy free food, courtesy of me.

So, in one of my many meetings that I've had to go to with Professor Xavier, he offhandedly suggested that I make use of this journal system that we are blessed with. Blessed. That's an objective word, I'm sure that many of us would consider this journal system to be something else. Now, if you want a blessing.. just consider the great server crash that wiped out years worth of drama in one fell swoop.

That, my friends, is a true blessing.

Oh well, it's not like there won't be new drama coming up soon to fill the void that was left by the death of the old system. It's wholly inevitable; someone will break up with their significant other and whine about it until the cows come home; someone will try to kill us all again, and yes, someone will probably show up and be an asshole to everyone, inspiring the hordes of teenies to come to their own defense.

Enough about drama in the abstract, I've got far more important things to talk about. Like me, and this god awful sinus headache that won't let me appreciate some of the finer things in life. You know, like breathing, and sleeping at night. There's a big cloud in my head, and everything feels all foggy. I'd actually be sleeping right now if it wasn't for this nasty little thing, but instead I'm playing video games on my PS2 (Sonic Greatest Hits if you must know) and wondering what the hell else there is to write about.

Well, I have to say this much. It's days like this I'm glad I don't have any students. Sure, my last one did leave the school because he hated my guts and some other things, but it's not like that was totally my fault. I mean, I didn't chase him out with a knife or anything, but I may have held the door open and locked it firmly behind him when he left. Heh.

Which reminds me, I've got some things to look into. Soon. I should have looked into them a few weeks ago, but yay for being scatterbrained. Fuck.

I'm thinking of going out on the town here in a few nights, anyone want to come with me? I'd like some company, and mind you.. I have company when I need it, I just think a trip out of this stuffy old mansion would do the mind and the body good.

Okay, that's enough of an update. I hope Xavier thinks this is enough, because if not.. well tough noogies for him.
