Here I am, in lovely Oregon. It actually hasn't rained that much, which is impressive. It's actually not supposed to rain much this week, which is even more impressive. Apparently I brought the sunshine with me. I really like my parents' new house. It's the most modern house they've ever had, and is very open and welcoming. I like it a lot. Travelling was interesting. It involved a lot of lines. While waiting to check in at BWI, I was in front of a nice young man who was in the Army Reserves and was coming home (to LA) from Kuwait. He was quite the gentleman--he helped a woman inch her two large suitcases along. Then, on the flight from Chicago to Portland, I sat next to a young guy in the Navy. He was nice enough, though sadly not at all cute (even in his uniform).
So, here I am, and am pretty damn tired. It's 9:18 p.m., which means it's after midnight on the East Coast. And I got up at 4 a.m. this morning, so I'm a bit sleepy. Which, you know, is why I'm on the computer. *Sigh* But it's nice seeing my parents again. Even though, once again, politics has reared its ugly head and I've already gotten into it with my father. At least he's being civil about it.
Current song in my head:
"Saturday Night's All Right" by Elton John
