these are how things move

Aunt Peggy is dying in Florida, and Mom and Daddy have to get down there ASAP. It's a woman I barely know and barely see, but she is my mother's sister. And Lord, she already lost her mother last summer, and I hate seeing my mom hurting. It just wrecks her system, and she becomes unreachable. I can only do what she asks and hope that's enough. I get a little pat on my arm when I hug her and tell her I'm sorry. "I know," she says. My poor mother. Please, God, help her.

Lmfao how awful, new friends! A double-whammy of woeful posts. Fantastic first impressions that aren't really first impressions because that was on the meme. Anywho. The info post is a bunch of giant lists of things I give a shit about, and the contact post is for my reference. You don't have to fill everything out. Addresses present tend to get Christmas cards or the most retarded Valentines if/when I have access to stamps/motivation to get stamps. I am notorious for forgetting.

So Daddy's staying up here until we know more. Ayup. Here we be, twiddling our collective thumbs. Probably not going to get a chance to swim today. But thank you for all the well-wishes, thoughts and prayers. It does mean a lot, even if you don't think so. ♥

That aside, thank you guys for these awesome prompts I am slowly chugging through. I am pretty sure I have Regina Spektor's entire lyrical library in there now, lmao. I can feel some of my groove coming back, so, thanks a-plenty. :)

Lastly. Let me just say. That I hate. Disturbances in the Force known as renames. Because half the time I forget who was who. Since many people don't have their name in their little titles and put lyrics or injokes or something I don't know and I spend like a month lurking the journal and iconset trying to re-remember said person. Oh God. Renames are fun but at the same time shit who are you again.

But I want to change my name. PROBABLY TO SOMETHING OBVIOUS. Or not so much. If it's the latter, I'll just post entries using this default icon for like a week until Zero breaks down and cries for me to stop.

Ssssooo.

YEAH!! Happy month-plus-five-days-early birthday to ME. :)

Mom got to talk to her sister. Thank God. That's what we prayed for. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any chance of recovery, so. It's a waiting game. If the funeral does end up down there, I might have to drive down there to help Dad on the way, since it's a 2-day drive.

Went to a Dad's-side-of-the-family gathering tonight, since my Godmother and Godfather are heading back to Arizona this weekend or so. It was nice. Everyone's very chatty, though. And it's a little uncomfortable when it gets down to politics. As it always is, I'm sure you know. But I love them. They're very supportive of me. All the crossed fingers for the potential Disney intern gig. And it's nice that my niece seems to like me. Though, she's 3, and apt to forget easily.

Dad held my hand on the ride home. "Thank you for being there," he said.

"Moral support," I said, kind of laughing.

"No, I just love my family."
