Just a few little things:

Volunteered at my mom's lock-in last Friday, went pretty well. The kids were very well behaved, if not very high-school-ish. Still, they all seemed to get along pretty well and there were no major problems. Had a lot of fun at gameworks bowling (mostly by myself) and playing some horse racing game. Did terrible at bowling-my high score was 97 I think. I'm going to blame it on the fact that I was wearing street shoes and it was 3:00 in the morning. Later, actually. Not that I'm a fantastic bowler, but a good game for me is over 100 at least. So I guess 97 isn't too bad. Mom and Dad are good bowlers. Better than me anyway. I need practice. Eric and I would like to join a bowling league but we're both awful so we'd have to be with people who didn't care. Which probably would be hard to find.

Watching a lot of movies/tv shows lately, some through Netflix and some not. It seems like sometimes that's the only thing Eric and I can find to do together. We're boring, and poor, and combine those two aspects and you get two people who watch a lot of tv. I'm almost done with Buffy-I'll get the last 2 discs of the final season on Wednesday, and will probably watch all of them while Eric is at work. We've also been watching Firefly (courtesty of Matt) and I've started Friends (courtesy of Lindsey). It's nice to have something to watch while we wait for Netflix to come, seeing as we don't have regular tv. I also finished watching Heroes online last week. Decent ending, sad in some ways and annoying in others. Meaning, I hate Sylar. Big time. But he's a really good, creepy bad guy. I almost feel bad for him-the actor anyway. I always thought it would be tough to play a bad guy because then people think you're a creepy guy.

Also been working a lot. Not as fun as watching tv. However, I'm only working 3 days this week because I need a break before Eric and I take our trip (a break before our break), mostly to get some sleep and pack and what not before we drive out to D.C. to visit Matt and Laura! I'm very excited for our trip, so is Eric, but we have a small problem, as in we have no clue how to get there. And we don't have a map. So, probably Thursday, the only free day for both of us before we leave for our trip on Friday, we're going to buy a US roadmap or whatever and plan out our trip! Which brings up another problem-where do you get a roadmap? Can you get it at Target or WalMart? Better figure that one out. We're leaving Friday night and driving straight through the night to get there Saturday evening. Hopefully we won't be too tired. We're going to buy some snacks along with that roadmap and hopefully something caffeinated. Matt and Laura both have Monday off from work (some kind of national holiday?) which means they'll have another full day to entertain us! Otherwise while they're at work we're just going to do stuff on our own. Like a couple of museums they've already seen and don't want to again (i.e., the Holocaust museum). I'm really excited to get to see a bunch of famous and cool museums (and in the case of the Holocaust museum depressing) that I have heard about but never even been close to before. I've never even been to the east coast, so I'm super excited. And Eric's barely been anywhere, so of course he's excited too. Plus we get to hang out with Matt and Laura, who we barely ever get to see. Basically, next week is going to be great!

Well, I'll tell you something, this is no longer a vacation . . . it's a quest! It's a quest for fun! I'm gonna have fun, and you're gonna have fun! We're all gonna have so much fu**ing fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our Goddamn smiles!
