Russell Crowe gets cooler and cooler by the day! Apparantly he really does knit. Sweet.

It's Easter Eve so I'm in Willmar for the evening and tomorrow morning for church. I hadn't been home since Christmas nor seen much of my family since Thanksgiving so it's a mixed blessing and curse. I miss everyone, and it's nice to be reminded of the freely given love and encouragement that can be found here, but I am also reminded just how different some of my views have become from theirs. I see so much of myself in my father in the things I think and what I choose to say. He is probably one of the most liberal in our family, although he has chosen to teach his children to be a little more conservative for Mom and the rest of the family. At least I know where much of what I do comes from and it's nice to know that I'm not the just a complete freak of the family.

We've been munching on a full turkey dinner and snacks all day. Now I hear people lining up to get plates of leftovers and soup for supper so I think I shall join them. We are definitely a family of consumers (food and otherwise).

Gone, but apparantly not entirely forgotten. I've been absent from the internet for three weeks or so now... since the house of skark was shut down and the dsl went kaput, and it's nice to randomly be hearing from a few people I've been losing touch with (like I tend to do when things start actually happening in my life).

We've been bouncing back and forth between his Mom and Dad's place and my apartment and so far it's been going even better than I had hoped. Although the house situation has been on hold for a while and things are just chugging along at their usual pace, I feel great amounts of promise welling up underneath the garbage moods I've been rolling in and out of. Maybe it's just pms subisiding. Who knows... I'm happy.

Found this a few weeks back on someone's blog (sorry I can't remember who it was to credit them).
