legos and rainbows

Well, I came to spend the weekend at my brother's house in Alabama and I didn't realize how much I had missed my niece and nephew since I had moved away 3 and a half years ago. They have made me laugh all weekend long with their musings on life and the small little pronuciation goofs that CRACK ME UP! Dark vader, General Greeveeous, and bruptly were my favorite uses of terms this weekend. Does anyone know HOW MANY PIECES THAT LEGO STAR WARS SHIPS COME WITH??? I ask all who ever think of buying lego ships for kids who are 8 and under to seriously think of how long it is gonna take to build! okay??? These things come with catalog instruction booklets.

It is good fun though, even if your smile fades a little as you pour out those packages of tiny little bits and pieces, and then open another package with yet more bits and pieces... and more bits and pieces. I said waaaaa I am not smart enough to engineer a lego space ship LOL!
My nephew hugged me and said "Don't say that! YOU are smart enough to build a little space ship. You might need me to help you with this big one though." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I thought I was gonna pee my pants. So master level legoist I shall be by tomorrow evening when I make the Star Wars Y wing Space ship my bitch and fly it off to the Degobah system.

I have also been schooled in much anime since I have been here. Inuyasha... I was into My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite, and Strawberry Shortcake at 12. Actually I AM NOW STILL INTO all the things I was at 12 hee hee! I can dig on sci-fi stuff and fantasy stuff... but sometimes anime makes me want to break the tele. The humor and pauses in the story make me feel uncomfortable like someone told a bad joke that I don't even get and everyone is laughing hysterically over. But hey, I also thought MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE was the shizz when I was 12 and watched THUNDERCATS religiously. After returning to these fine features after becoming a seasoned somewhat-adult I found they ..... Suck. So maybe the Inuyasha will be my niece's THUNDERCAT experience. Even though the THUNDERCATS still hold a fond place in my heart I can't sit through any episodes without wanting to kick the TV.

I hope to visit my Besties soon! Like this Saturday if the powers that be will lemme catch a flight. I miss them very much and I want to go to CARD making class and laugh until my face hurts.

One of my old school buddies said something interesting to me because of the situation I am in with kind of starting my life over a bit. He said horses can't mend eggshells but there are alternative medicines.... He is living proof cause same thing happened to him once. Now he is engaged to a nice young lady and they both seem happy and made for one another. Stories like theirs give me hope. I also still hold out hope that my current story might have a happy ending in it somehow. Always the dreamer eh? Here's to alternative medicines! May I come upon some and use them to my best ability.

Don't forget that pirates are awesome.... and unicorns poop rainbows :D.
