My brother never tells me ANYTHING! / Organization / Entenmann's Pound Cake

I called my sister earlier: she said that there had been an informal hangout night at Nathan's tonight which was organized by the Daniel Fellowship, but open to everyone. She wondered why I hadn't been there, and I said that Jon hadn't said a thing about it yesterday: all I had heard about last night was discussion on where to watch the football game! AIYA, what a nice brother. :P (she's picking me up at 9:15 tomorrow - later today, really - and has a busy day with Vanessa and Vivian S. coming up) It could be argued that I needed the time to work on my project - in fact, I finished Phase 1 today - but that's not the point! My brother is CLUELESS sometimes! UGH.

Earlier, I was complaining to Corey that my butter didn't spread AT ALL. He gave me this helpful tip: "Put it in the microwave for a few seconds." Actually, I'd been wondering about that... so I did it, and the butter now seems like it would be easier to spread. :D

Am accumulating a load of stuff to mail out sometime next week, maybe. There are cards and postcards for Billy / Marilynn / Trisha (fdolarhyde13 / blindedxheart / _angel_of_nite_) and their mom Janina (mrshannibal). Also, pencils and card / postcard for Holly (tribute_mutant), stuff for John (snooooopy) and Corey (dwcorey), and cards for Maryann / Teunis / Soleta / Julie (julie709) / Danielle (gabizoidal). Kaitlin (norsk) is also getting a card and postcard... while Charlotte (charshark), Natalie (chibi_blackie), and Shannon (tearfulgoodbyes) are getting cards... Darren (dfrancis) is even getting a birthday card AND a Christmas card! I've also written some cards for other friends of mine: Ivan and Karen, Citrus, Danielle, Eric H. (lddude), Eric M., and Vania. Hey, this is how I keep myself organized, mmkay? So if you have any objection to these types of paragraphs, you can just flake off!
