net again

well i'm back. got a new computer. ugh. it's cute though. small. umm...i lost almost everything i've ever written. i'm pretty upset about that. a lot of my undergrad work but, that's just work. what i'm really sad about is my freewriting stuff that i don't have backed up. but i learned my lesson. i'm going to back everything up compulsively now.

so this is weird--my old house in naperville is for sale again right now. our old neighbors called us and are like "move back," and i didn't really get my hopes up because of the obvious... come to find out my dad is actually working on getting a mortgage to move back. to buy our old house. granted, i won't be living there that much longer, but still--how crazy is that? the whole california thing was such a mistake, i think my parents just miss being comfortable. it's not a set deal yet, but even the possibility of it, to me, is absolutely crazy.

i mean it's great, but it's crazy, too.

i kinda ditched the whole idea of living downtown. i realized that i like driving. i like having a car. i like having a place to park, and i kind of like having a nice place to live. and it just makes more sense to live in the suburbs. that's the reality. and it's weird because i said this to my friends and they said they recently decided the same thing. i mean, the city has more to offer as far as entertainment and different cultures and all of that but i will be miles away from all that...and when i actually took the time to sit down and think about it, i'm comfortable with what i'm used to--and what i'm used to is the suburbs. we'll see what happens though.

party went pretty good for the most part. i think everyone had fun. it seemed that way. i wished i could have talked to everyone a little bit more. it was hard with everyone there--my family and my friends! i had a great time though and i am glad everyone made it.

that's about it for now. i've just been working. living my life. waiting for spring. the usual.

but it's great to be back on the net.
