Family...boredom...the usual

Much as I hate to admit it, I think I've finally hit that point of winter vacation where I'm just a little too bored. I'm not that anxious to go back to school, really, but right now I'm just running out of things to do, and it's driving me a little crazy.

And I didn't get done half the stuff I wanted to these past couple weeks. I know I've still got a little time, since I don't start back for a week, but...ugh. I just really can't deal with a lot of it right now, you know? Cleaning my room, trying to find stuff I've been missing for months now, typing the pages of my novel I had to write in those damned composition books I carry around at school, when I still don't have anything like a typing stand.

I guess it ammounts to laziness overwhelming boredom, or something. *shrug*

Did I forget to mention, after the holiday hellishness, that my family is batty? Oh yeah. Raving, I tell you- absolutly raving.

Instead of deciding what to do with Great-Grandpa's ashes, or doing our strange little memoral service thing that last night...we watched "Gangs of New York." And I think that the whole neighborhood watched it with us, or at least heard it, because Grandma needs a hearing aid and won't get one, so she kept turning up the volume. And turning it up, and turning it up...

Yeah.

But that was after she swore at the DVD player, and us, and went on for some length about how she was never renting one of these stupid things again, next time she'd just get the good old fashioned tape...

I should mention here that nobody insisted she get the DVD. I didn't even know she'd rented a movie till I went over there, and by that point...

I got another one of those "go vegitarian" emails from my aunt. I'm kind of thinking about it, or at least about cutting out the red meat. I don't eat that much of it anyway, and without Michael's barbeques to tempt me, I think I could do alright. My mother thinks I'm being maybe just a little paranoid, but there are no words for how much I really don't want Mad Cow.

I know, I know, the chances of my getting it are pretty slim, but it's not something you want to play around with, either. Scary stuff, and I'd rather not risk it, and like I said- hell, I'd hardly miss it.

And every time my aunt cooks dinner for us, the food is great, so maybe if I can get ahold of her cookbook...

In case anyone was wondering (and I know you've all been dying of curiosity, really) I decided not to indulge my obscure fandoms, and took Jaina Solo from Star Wars as my third theatrical_muse. Her journal is jaina_muse, and I'm enjoying being able to recycle my Jaina Icons. As opposed to shadow_anna's, which I need to redo.
