Daria, Darren, Jeremy, and a name survey

Talking to Daria earlier was interesting, heh. I'm glad she's happy with Darren... although she assumed that I'd had sex with Darren because of all his friends with benefits. Nope!

I've been playing some games on Orisinal. High Delivery is okay, but not my thing. Maybe I'll find something later that's up my alley. Just finished listening to the Alan Cross show on Joy Division and Ian Curtis, too... always good to have that around! ;) (epileptic seizures / affair / doctors shooting themselves...)

I talked to my mom earlier... apparently, she's decided on 11:30 on Friday in the courtyard. Since she's so stressed out, I'll acquiesce... although it's not likely she'd have yelled at me with Jeremy at the townhouse! Speaking of such, she randomly handed the phone to Jeremy since she thought I wanted to talk to him (she thinks I have a crush on him, which is so not true!).. she's always doing this with random people in the house, as I explained to him. So I talked to him for a bit: he was over drinking some beer and hanging out with Jon. When he asked what was up on my end, I told him that I was reading the paper: not very exciting, although I agree with him that the news can be exciting sometimes! Then he asked if I wanted to talk to Jon, so I did that: we talked about the front page news, Fellowship, Eric's and my last-minute planning, barley wine, etc. My brother says he woke up at 6:55 and got the paper, then he turned the paper over to the other side when leaving... no need to horrify Mom with the story of the pedophile! Not nice to wake up to!


Name Survey

Kyle: oncewas or Nordman... or South Park. (white dudes with brown hair)
Jeremy: The Pearl Jam song (which is on the radio as I type!), Sam's brother, or Durian Dude.
Laura: A plain girl who lived in the 1800s. (Ingalls Wilder or Hooites-Meursing?)
Kristal: My old friend Kevin George's sister... very gregarious with thick brown curly hair.
