Dad: San Fransisco is having electrical storms and hail right now
Mom: Well yeah, it's judgment
Dad: I didn't say hail fire and brimstone

Being with Family
Well, I went from not posting to posting three times in one day.
I am so excited about this weekend, I've definitely been counting down the days, and also, definitely woke up this morning and realized it wasn't friday and was immensely disappointed.
Friday I get to see a whole lot of friends and hang out with them, Saturday I get to see my family. I left the pizza parlor in tears because I was leaving them behind it seemed so long ago, though really its only been about two months. So, I get to see Lindsay, Bill, Carole, Berta and a whole bunch more family that I've been missing. And then of course after that is my first ever, real gymnastics meet, in Visalia. (which I'm a bit nervous about)
But I miss my family so much. One of the people who I consider part of my family asked me the other day while he was proof reading one of my papers, weather I wanted to change the world family to friends? I said no, and he asked if I really considered the people I was talking about family? And I do. Family is not determined simply by genetic coding, or who had sex with this person or that. Being called part of a family is not a right, it is earned, and tragically sometimes, it is revoked. It puzzles me sometimes as to who I consider part of my family. Heck, if they were all together, it'd be just a random group of people stuffed into a room somewhere. Half of them don't know more than a couple of the rest there. Maybe they've heard about the other and they start talking, a little awkwardly probably, but to me, they are all my family, even if they aren't family to eachother.
So, I will see part of my family this weekend... and I have been longing for that for a long time.

The Wind is Changing
Somehow I feel very much so as though Marry Poppins is here. I don't know why, it's something about the way the breeze is floating about outside, slowly teasing its way around corners as the slow moving clouds glance lazily at their companions.
Oh, dear winter I have missed thee, and I pray that you shall come quickly.
It seems ironic to me, that during the summer I just want to stay inside and during the winter I do school sitting under a tree. To most people I would think it may seem rather backwards, but to me, the whole world is backwards.

Becoming more alike?
Well, apparently hanging out with eachother has made me more like the rest of the group. As I was digging back through my blog archives adding labels I found this and thought I should take the quiz again just for the heck of it. So, here are the original results:
Here are the new results:
And, I did it again a while later:
You scored as Bethany.
