Thanksgiving Weekend

Well, even though Katie was the one who convinced me to come down for thanksgiving, I didn't get to see her at all during break. Not exactly surprised. I get the feeling that I only see her by coincidence or when she wants something from me. I was silly to think that she'd actually want to spend any time with me.

However, the quality of my break was not contingent on seeing her; that was just a goal of mine. I enjoy the affection that I get from her when we hang out, even if it is just a tool for her to get what she wants from me. You would think that I would actually be upset with her for using me for my computer skills, but I'm really not. After all, I'm just using her for her affection. :)

The rest of break was pretty banging, as Tushar says. Got home on Wednesday night at about 9pm, so I just hung out with my parents all night. My dad and I tried to go out and get pizza that night, but everything was closed or abandoned. Is was really weird and kind of disappointing.

Thanksgiving day was a very stereotypical East Thanksgiving. My grandparents came over and we had pork steak florentine, creamy cheese squares, and pumpkin pie. It was good, I guess, but nothing terribly exciting. For the rest of the day, my dad and I hung out together and watched the first two Planet of the Apes movies.

On Friday, my dad and I watched two more Planet of the Apes movies. At the end of the second movie, Dunning called me and invited me to the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert at the Scott Trade Center in Saint Louis. That concert was very loud, very bright, and very fun. It was the first time seeing them in concert, so I was more than happy to go. It was really nice spending time with Dunning too since it was the first time that I've really felt like I was home for months.

Saturday was pretty uneventful during the day. I spent most of the day waiting to see if Katie called me while I hung out with the family and went shopping for new pants since mine were ready to rip in half at the crotch. Since she didn't call, I went and hung out with Alex early at his house and then we had game night at seven where Jake, Dunning, and TJ joined us to play Settlers, Zombie Fluxx, and Bang. Needless to say, it was super awesome. I honestly wish I could do this every weekend.

Today, I've just sat around all day, packing and talking to people online as I'm waiting to take off for home again. It's going to be a long day of nothing.
