my brother came home for christmas. i have not seen nor talked with him in two and a half years. it's awkward, to say the least. i don't really know how to talk with him. he's not much for words. a lot of you know me which means that a lot of you know that i'm not usually too much for words, either; so me saying he's not much for words is saying a lot about how much he actually talks. there's a part of me that really wants to develop a relationship with him. there was a part of me that really hoped we would hit it off this week. and i actually thought it might happen because HE said HE wanted to come home. well, he's here, and he's not participating. i usually feel like i'm pretty good with warming up to people that aren't usually easy to warm up to. for some reason, though, i'm having an extremely hard time doing so (and wanting to) with my brother. and i think that's the answer: i don't want to. but i don't know why...

last year around this time i posted that i felt a good year coming on. well 2008 started out really well, dipped down to a bitter-sweet, and is now levelling out to a calmer kinda drift. but i feel like 2009 is bringing on an anxious uncertainty... that's the kind of feeling pondering new stages in life brings, i guess.
a happy new year to everyone. and i hope to see familiar faces very soon
i miss youuuuuuuuuu toooooooo! man, i have some floor space in my room, or a "spare uoom" (from "Chronic WHAT les" of Narnja!) I'll be there soon im sure. but if you wanna come up here you can come here too!
So glad that you have re-established contact with your brother. Maybe it is not comfortable...but being in contact is progress. I will pray for that little mustard seed!
alas, the beard cap costs a whopping $135 and is only sold at a place called Scandinavian Grace in Brooklyn. *sigh* oh well. maybe i'll just go visit the Buntings, then, the beard cap. hmmmm

love is a choice and tough to carry out sometimes. most of the time, actually. but maybe that's just me
I'm waiting on my spanish partner to call me so we can practice for our interview/exam tomorrow. Yo soy muy cansado. El necesita llamar. Necesitamos estudiar.
Spanish is awesome.
my nose has been a leaky faucet, but I think it's finally getting better.
wouldnt you use estar instead of ser in the sentence "i am very tired" ? It's a condition, not a state of being. (sorry, didnt mean to get all "spanish grammar police" on you.)
