I think my life is about to get easier. I have finally figured out that what I say really doesn't matter. This explains why, whether I'm having a civil conversation or screaming obscenities, it all goes in one ear and out the other. For all these years, I've been under the impression that my thoughts and opinions carried some weight, but they don't. Therefore, I no longer have to bother carrying on any sort of meaningful conversation with anyone. I can just say "uh-huh" or repeat "flibbitigibbit" over and over, and it won't make a bit of difference either way. Won't that be so much easier?

Don't worry, I'll most likely explain next time, not that it'll matter.


While I don't feel like telling the Sugar Puddin' story right now, I will tell you that my trip to BG a couple weeks ago was wasted, as Kim & Charles are moving to Akron. But that's OK, because they'll still be closer, and nothing I would have said to them would have mattered to them, either.

Guess what I'm doing today, as soon as I get my lazy ass in the shower? I'm heading up to BG to look for housing for ... my sister! I'll tell the story later, but the short version is there's a good chance that she & Charles will be moving up to northwest Ohio! Holy crap!

I will also tell the story of Sugar Puddin's big adventure later, if I remember.
