Amber's Life

In the past week I have fixed the wireless internet in our house, restored Jocelyn's computer after it was attacked by a virus, and restored the sound on that very same computer after the driver decided to not reload with the rest of the system. I just might say that I've had my fill of computers for this past week and if anything else breaks down, then I'm not responsible :)

Besides that, I got back from my California trips and am enjoying the "lovely" weather here in Las Vegas. It did actually rain the other day, which made me realize that I do miss Seattle a little bit.

The family's been kind of busy with other things, so I haven't had much quality time with most of them but hopefully that will change soon.

Well, I expected this post to be longer but I never was one to live up to expectations.

I have completed my sophomore year in college and it was pretty good. I am going to be taking two summer classes, but I will be done by mid-July and then there will be a lot of vacation time for me. Let's do a quick recap of the year, for those of you who haven't exactly been in the loop...

- There was a nice load of crap this year...one thing involved a very disappointing, drunken night. A lot of the other crap in my life stemmed from that, ranging from ruining some friendships to overworking myself to chronic headaches to hurting myself. All in all, not the most healthy of situations. On the upside, I'm definitely ready to move on from that

- I made some really good friendships this year. To name a few; Bethany, Jada, Amara, Sandy, Marley (who I get to live with next year), Wade, Jayson, Justin. The list could go on and on. Some of them I was already friends with, but I was able to become better friends with them this year. I have gotten really close with some of them, and I hope they feel the same. Jada even got to meet my family (most of them) and they seemed to get along really well.

- Speaking of family...I'm going to get a whirlwind of them over the next month or so. My mom and two little sisters are coming to visit me. They will get in tomorrow and will have dinner with me, Sandy and Jada. They are going to stay for a week and we're just going to chill and explore Seattle. In July, I am going to visit my older sister and then make a stop over at my aunt's before going back home to Las Vegas.

- Both my older sister and my aunt got married. All I can say is "WOW"

- My birthday sucked again this year. I tried really hard to make it turn out okay, but it didn't. Must mean that I'm still cursed, but I've come up with the perfect solution. It kind of bugs me when I am celebrating other people's birthdays because everyone seems to go out of their way to make everyone else happy on their birthday and no one did that for me. My friends' have put more into birthdays for people we have known for shorter periods of time. Although it makes me bitter, I always make sure that my friends have a good birthday so that they don't experience what I do (since I know how much it hurts).

- Academics kind of took a back seat this year, and I wasn't very happy with myself for doing this. It was mostly demonstrated by my slipping grades during Winter Quarter. It motivated me to do better this past quarter and I really hope that I did (grades haven't been released yet). I am not going to let this happen again, as I will be spending a lot of time next year working on preparing for grad school and everything.

- Student leadership took the forefront in my life this year...as a result, some other things suffered including some friendships (which I am attempting to salvage and, hopefully, succeeding). It really engulfed me in this year. I had a lot of fun doing it but I was way too busy. At the end of the year, I decided to not continue along that path. I am still going to do student leadership but to a lesser degree. I was going to run for RHSA President and then for NCC, but I chose not to because I didn't think it was the best choice for me. I do have a pretty good feeling that I could have won it if I wanted to, and that was enough for me. I did realize that I reached my peak, not this year, but last year which is kind of sad. I can still continue to do a fantabulous job but I can't expect much in return. But that won't stop me.

- I went through 4 crushes this year, and I'm left with only one right now. The first one lasted for a long time and I needed a good kick in the pants to get over that one. The next two kind of happened around the same time, but I gave up on those when I saw it wasn't going anywhere. My current crush will have to be on pause over the summer, so we'll see how things go once everyone returns in September.

- I ended my RHSA career on Tuesday. I went to the office and basically erased myself from it. I returned my key, cleaned out my box, removed my labels, and wiped my computer clean. As far as anyone knows, I don't exist in there anymore. When I stepped out of there, it was really hard for me to do. I think it hit me more than any of the transitioning, or the last meeting ever did. Some people didn't understand that, which kind of frustrated me, but it's over and I can never go back to that.

Now, most of my room is packed and I'll be moving tomorrow morning. This year is coming to a close and I can't beleive how much I've been through. It almost doesn't seem real to me. I'm getting ready to move on and I'm not sure how it is all going to turn out, but I'm going to try my hardest to make it the best situation possible.

Spring Quarter has started...its actually three weeks in, but I'll update you anyway. I'm taking three classes: Intro to Philosophy, Statistics, and Psychology Research Methods. The last two are pretty boring, mostly becasue they are really similar and I seem to learn the same stuff twice in one day. On the up side, I learn everything twice so I'll probably end up acing both classes. Intro to Philosophy is really interesting. We read a bunch of Plato/Socrates, which was way too intellectual and complicated for my tastes. We are reading Aristotle right now, and I like his ideas a lot better. If you want to hear about virtue or how our souls are plant, animal, and human just let me know :) I have a paper due next week for Philosophy on Socrates' trial, so I'm not too thrilled since it is kind of complicated but I'm not that worried. Other than that, it looks like this quarter isn't going to be too bad, academic wise.

Leadership life is a little different. I have two things to do this quarter and one of them is going to take a lot of time. First, I am going to put on a program at the end of May: Hug Therapy and Meditation. This is the easy one and will be really fun, so I'm looking forward to that. The other one involves a committee and that is going to be kind of rushed and take a lot of time. Fortunately, that will be over and done with by May 7th. Besides those two things, I just need to keep up on my regular duties (which I'm a little behind on right now). I'm going to try and get some stuff done before the weekend, and then next week will be when I plan to get back on track.

Life has been really crazy and hectic. I have been having really bad headaches lately. I did some research and I might have chronic headaches. My mom says I should go to Hall Health and I plan to make an appointment next week, since I'll have some extra time. I have a feeling I already know what's going to happen, but I'll just wait before I confirm anything. It has been a little difficult focusing on getting through classes and RHSA stuff with pounding headaches, but I'm trying to adjust and manage. Fortunately, I have had a respite from my headaches the last couple days so that's been pretty cool.

One of the other reasons that I'm behind is that I usually do most of my work on the weekend, and I have not been in my room for a good period of time for one weekend since this quarter started. I won't be here this weekend either but, hopefully, it will calm down after that.

Speeking of this weekend, I am soooo excited. My aunt, on my dad's side, is getting married. I am sooooo happy for her, plus I get to see a bunch of my family and that doesn't happen very often. I'm also going to be helping out with the wedding. I am the designated person to keep my aunt calm, so she's going to be staying in my room the night before the wedding. Plus, on the wedding day, I am going to be in charge of the guestbook because they want to take pictures of everyone who signs it. It is going to be so much fun, but it will be so hectic and I am a little worried at how much work I'll be able to get done. On the upside, the wedding is a testdrive for my Spring Cruise dress! That's not really all that exciting, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Well, I think I've rambled on for long enough already. I shall leave you with this final thought from Aristotle:

"...we are noble in only one way, but bad in all sorts of ways"

Ain't that insane? I used to do at least one post a week, and now it's been over a month since I've posted. I got a little nudge from my sister, so I'm going to try and catch up as much as possible. There's been so much going on that I hope I get everything in here.

My birthday came and went...it kind of sucked, but I wasn't that surprised. I've just decided that I'm not going to try and celebrate it anymore.

My sister got married! It's freakin' amazing and I'm so happy for her. I'm going to visit her during the summer, and I can't wait!

Winter Quarter is over. I had finals last week, and I think I did okay although I don't think this was my best quarter. Things have been really crazy, and I've had a lot of ups and downs which has affected some of my school work. I was really distracted and preoccupied with other things during about half the quarter, which really took away. I was able to pull it together and, with some help, get back on track. Spring Quarter is coming up and I think it will be a good one. There's going to be lots of opportunities for me to relax and have fun, plus a little bit less in the work department. I think everything will turn out to balance just fine.

I got a tatoo! It is really cool and I was really happy to get it. I will never, ever get one again but I was finally able to do something that was 2 years in the making. It took 2 hours, was oh-so-painful, and cost me $200 but it's done and I'm really happy with it.

I also have a new crush. I'm pretty sure everyone already knows who it is, but it's still kind of fun.

Now, I am back in Las Vegas in my family's new house on my Spring Break. I am enjoying all the relaxing and playing and fun, even though I have RHSA stuff to do. Jada was in town this past weekend, and he came over for dinner last night. It was a lot of fun, plus he and the family seemed to get along pretty well. My parents really liked him...said he was nice, funny, and helpful. We had a pipe burst right outside our front door, and Jada helped my dad figure out how to turn the water off. Then, Jada helped to cook dinner. It was quite a funny and exciting night.

Well, if that wasn't scattered enough for you, I don't know what could be. I'll try to update more regularly. Much Love!

It seems like forever since I've posted on here and it seems like so much is going on. Life is crazy and hectic, as usual, but it's kind of a routine that way so I'm used to it. I lvoe it about 80% of the time, when there isn't any drama...but you can't keep that away forever.

Alright...let's get the bad updates out of the way. I had a bad bout of nightmares, but those seemed to have passed. I had a bad bout of sickness, but that also has passed. I was elbowed in the face, resulting in a 4 day headache but that has passed as well. I've been through a few rough patches. I've come to the realization that I average about one crisis a month. January was a tough one, mainly because it was something I've kept to myself...really more of an internal rather than an external issue. But that has decreased enormously, so I'm hoping that it will continue to get better. Let's see...I think that covers it.

Alright...on to the good. I got my very first hickey (although from a gay guy in front of 15 people...not the most ideal situation, but it's a funny story). My birthday is coming up and I am soooooooooo excited. Tons of exiting programs are approaching and, even though I'll be uber-busy, it's going to be loads of fun. My family may be moving into an actual house, which is really cool. I've got a new crush, which has loads more potential than the last one. My friends have been pretty awesome. They pushed me to re-evaluate myself and figure out what I really wanted. They've been including me whenever possibly, and make sure that I feel loved. To sum it all up, I'm on a mini-high right now because I'm happy that I am no longer sick and I am excited for my birthday this weekend.


Life is leaning more on the good side of things than the bad, which is a really good thing. Also, one of the biggest new things in my life is the fact that MY SISTER IS GETTING MARRIED in October. I am so happy for her and so excited because she wants me to be a part of the wedding even though I'm two states away and it's hard for me to help her.

Alright, I really should try and get some sleep. Love you all!

Here's my schedule for Winter Quarter...doesn't it look like fun?

( My New Schedule )

In other news, I leave Las Vegas tomorrow night. I won't be getting into Seattle until pretty late and I won't get back to campus until about midnight. Then, I'll go straight to bed in order to be up for a 9:30 class...yay for me ;D

My vacation has been really nice. I had some work to do, but I haven't been putting myself out over it. Christmas was really good and I got a lot of really nice stuff...books, clothes, jewelry, movies, etc. New Years was really fun. I played poker with my mom and sister until midnight.

I don't really have much else to say and I'm pretty tired, so I think I'll head off now.

"The title of the seventh and final Potter book has been revealed, it's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". The title was revealed on JK Rowling's website, and the press office at her publishers Bloomsbury have confirmed to Newsround to say it is the title."

Now, we are one step closer to the book finally being done. Woohoo!

Our young heroine was last left in a less-than-hopeful state. She is alone, frightened, and about the face an unknown evil without any knowledge of how to defeat it. As she drifted off into sleep, totally unaware that she was entering into the final battle, she thought about everything that had changed over the last two weeks. She had started out with such an average existence; nothing special or extraordinary about it. And now...well, now everything had changed. She could not even begin to describe how much everything had changed.

Now, here she was standing in a world that she could never have imagined had existed. It was like she was in the middle of the air; there was no solid ground that she could see and there was a bleak mist covering everything. She had no idea where she was and she couldn't see very far ahead of her. Everything seemed to echo itself and she felt that if she took one step forward, she would lose herself forever and never find her way out. Then she saw it; the evil that she was supposed to conquer. At first, it seemed like just a blob of darkness with no defined edges. As it moved closer, it began to transform itself into a more recognizable being. The girl could not get her legs to move; she was frozen with fear as she watched the evil change into a hooded figure. She could not see its face; only piercing red eyes boring holes into her.

All of a sudden, it attacked her without even saying a word or giving any warning. It was ready to defeat her whether or not she was ready to defend herself. She felt her mind feeling with images and hundreds of emotions swept over he like a wave. She had felt this once before, when she had been attacked by the men in white. She heard the voices of all the people in her life that had ever hurt her..."I don't care about you" "No one likes you" "You're stupid" "You can't do anything right" "Why are you even here"...and she felt horrible feelings; sadness, anger, rejection, jealousy. It was all so much and she felt as if her very heart with explode because she couldn't handle it. Then, as quickly as it began, it ended. She collapsed, wondering if she was dead and, if not, why she was still alive. Why did it end? Why didn't he just finish her off? "he must pity me" she thought "he knows how weak I am."

As she laid on the floor, images began floating in her head. These images were not coming from the evil being, but from deep within herself. Fist were images of her family; three sisters who loved and supported her, along with two parents who never gave up on her. Then came images of her friends; the boy who wouldn't give up on her, the girl who always knew exactly how to make her feel better, the boy who spent hours listening to her when he probably had better things to do, the girl who always fought for what she believed in, all the friends who had always been there to negate all those horrible thoughts and feelings that the being was trying to destroy her with. All of a sudden, the fear that she had felt was replaced by something else...hope. She realized that the being hadn't stopped attacking her...the thoughts were still there, but her own heart was overcoming them . She finally knew why she had to succeed...there were people who loved her and she loved them just as much. She knew how it felt to be overcome by horrible emotions and thoughts and there was no way she would leave them to such a horrible fate.

With little strength left, she raised herself to her feet. As the being continued to attack her mind with negativity, she filled her mind with the images of her friends and family all the while filling her heart with the love that they brought to her. To her surprise, the being started backing off and its attack seemed to be fading. As his form faded and he changed back into a void of darkness, she knew that she was so close to achieving her goal. With her final burst of strength, she visualized a day in the not too distant past when she had a majority of her friends all gathered in one place. The feeling of happiness that accompanied this visualization was enough to push the being outside her range of vision. It also took the last of her strength and she faded into darkness.

When she awoke the next morning, the girl knew that it was all over. She had won and had discovered that her special power (as cheesy as it may sound) was the love that she had found in her family and friends. Now that the battle was over, everything was back to normal. She went back to her life, admired that boy from afar, but always had a little more appreciation for the time she had with her friends and her family; she now realized just how important they were to her.

(So, that's the end of the story...that's what my life would be like if it was a movie. Pretty cool, huh? Maybe not the best of stories but I had fun writing it. I hope you all enjoyed it)

Oh, right...prophecy unearthed, impending doom, confused college girl, catastrophic love story, and a soon to be revealed special power. The girl, still unsure of herself and her destiny, first refuses to help the secret society. She just can't bring herself to believe that she is meant for something more than what she already has. But the secret society will not give up on her and, knowing that she is in danger, decides to protect her without her consent. She goes about her life as usual, stumbling through the mundane, knowing that she could have something more but feeling as if it is all the dream. And, all the while, the boy walks by her day after day without noticing a thing.

One night, fate collides and throws her even closer to her destiny. While returning from another "glamorous" party, the young girl is attacked by mysterious men in white. They attack her heart, forcing her to see and feel things that could not be true. Thankfully, some members of the secret society are able to drive away the men in white, but are unable to defeat them. These men are mere extensions of the larger evil and, therefore, cannot be killed until the source itself is destroyed. The secret society tries once again to convince the young girl of her destiny, and she finds herself believing them more and more. What she has seen that night cannot be just fragments of a dream, but glimpses of a real danger which she must ultimately face alone. Yet, another curve ball is thrown her way, as it is revealed to her the gravity of the situation. Her "power," which is still unknown, should have revealed itself by this time (according to the prophecy). The ease with which the men in white overcame her is alarming to the secret society (and her as well) as there has still been no hint of special powers.

The time draws nearer for her to face this unspeakable evil and she must prepare. The secret society reveals to her all that they know, which is not very much. According to the prophecy, the girl will face this evil on a battlefield of its choosing. She will only be able to overcome it if she can tap into this unknown power that only she possesses. This evil has laid dormant since the dawn of time, waiting to be awakened. The discovery of the prophecy was the first action to set the wheels in motion. The girl will have one chance against this evil. If she fails, the world is hopeless against it. The evil has no form; it can change its appearance at will. Nothing more is known...it is up to the girl to take it from here. There is nothing more that the secret society can do for her. The evil had already launched its initial attack; the final battle will occur soon, though even the time of that is unknown.

The girl, feeling that all she can do is what for the inevitable, returns to her life as a college student very well thinking that it may be the last time she walks on this world. She has given up on her feelings for the boy, knowing them to be hopeless and trivial compared to the task ahead of her. She tries desperately to find something within herself that could defeat this evil; something that could set her apart from other people. Failing miserably to discover her special power, she goes to sleep and slips into the dreamworld where the final battle will take place...

(Alright, my creative juices are running low, so it looks like this is turning into a trilogy)

Sometimes, I wonder why my life can't be more like the movies. Maybe I discover that I'm special...that I'm destined to do great things. No one expects that from little me...innocent, quiet, overworked me. But then, all of a sudden, some prophecy is unearthed that states that a girl born into a bright and sunny world, who currently lives in a gloomy world filled with nothing but numbers, is meant to save the world from some unstoppable doom...which, of course, has been set in motion merely by the discovery of the prophecy. The search for the girl begins; examination of the text leads to more clues of her identity. Born under the water sign, she has a birthmark in the shape of a fish (yes, its a stretch) just below her neck. She has the eyes of a bat (meaning she's pretty blind), she's very guarded and has few close friends. So, let's put all the clues together...bright and sunny world (California), gloomy world (Seattle), numbers (math major), water sign (aquarius), birthmark (self-explanatory), blind as a bat. Still very sketchy and vague, but by some miracle, they (some secret society, of course) discover her. She is a college study stumbling through life, trying to find her place in the world, hoping for some excitement (brushing up against adventure every once in a while, but never quite finding it) and she has no idea that she is special; that she is important. This girl is tracked down by a member of this secret society and told of her destiny. She subsequently freaks out, claims there is nothing special about her, says they must have made a mistake, and constantly asks the question "Why?" She's also told that she has some special ability that will help her conquer this coming evil, but she has no idea what it could be and she's supposed to already know.

Meanwhile, there has got to be a side love story. The girl, while stumbling through life, has met a boy. He hardly notices her...in fact, he is absolutely infatuated with someone else. She is discouraged, frustrated, and wants to swear off all men. What have they ever done for her anyway? She secretly hopes that he'll come to her senses, but knows deep down inside that things will never change. They can't and they won't...again, because there is nothing special about her. Discovery of her destiny just goes to prove her point; she's meant to save the world, not be happy in it.

(Well, I'm getting tired so I'll save the second half of the story for later. In other words, time for an intermission)

Leave me a gift :)


( my xmas stocking )

I am seriously considering adding another class to my Winter schedule and I need some advice. Here's the deal: If I add this class, it will be a Monday, Wednesday, Friday deal...giving me 5 hours of class on Monday and Wednesday and 4 hours of class on Friday. Now, unless I can switch my math and psych slots, I would end up having a straight 4 hours block on all 3 days. But, if I did this, I would then end up dropping a two credit class that I'm taking on Tuesday/Thursday, meaning I would only have one class in the morning on those two days. It would bring me from 13 to 16 credits for the quarter.

Basically, should I do it? Will I be able to stand 5 hours of class? Is only one class a day, two days a week, worth all that extra time in class on the other 3 days? Help me!

And, preferrably, get this advice to me ASAP so I can fiddle with my schedule before things fill up :)

I'm going to have cheers stuck in my head for the next two weeks. PACURH was freaking amazing...from the roll call to bonding with Amara (and some others) on the dance floor to bonding with Ricky to bonding with the whole group to bonding with some Eastern fellows to Hug Therapy to winning the Spirit Award to winning the SALT Bid to shouting UW a lot b/c we got so many OTMs to having other schools start shouting UW b/c we won so many OTMs to having Marley being recognized (along with 6 others) for being an amazing NCC to watching the RBD (plus Tomas) do an AWESOME roll call.

Basically, it was amazing (I don't think I've said that enough) and I could go on and on and on and on...but I won't. Just ask me about it and then I'll ramble.

Now, I just have one thought to leave you with: "Nananana Bubble Gum...Nananana Bubble Gum....Nananana Bubble Gum...I want some Bubble Gum" :)

I skipped classes today...probably not the best thing but I'm sick for the third (or fourth, I can't remember) time this quarter. It's kind of starting to worry me. So, I didn't go to class but I managed to drag myself up to North Campus in order to have a meeting with Jake (which was agonizing enough without me being sick). The I was order to go take a nap, but by the time I go back to my room and ate lunch, which was soup, it was time for me to go to work. Even though I was sick, there was no way I was skipping out on work. I've already taken two sick days this quarter and I was not doing that again. Anyway, I'm sitting at the desk right now. I have 15 minutes left before my shift is over and then I have to go back up North for my CBR meeting and Office Hours. I think I might just spend my Office Hours sleeping...

Things are really crazy around here and it is not at all helpful when people are constantly shooting me down. Everything I do seems to be wrong, and I'm trying to improve myself but, again, nothing's right. EVeryone tells me "You need to speak up, Amber...you need to have a voice of your own...you need to share your opinion" but I've learned that they don't really mean that. My opinions just get shot down and I'm told that I'm overreacting. If something upsets me, all they ever say is "It's being dealt with...don't worry about it...it's already been sovled." BUt that doesn't help me. I don't know what was dealt with, how it was dealt with, hoe we're preventing it from happening again in teh future. And why am I not being included when I was directly affected by the things that made me upset? I feel like too much is not being said out in the open, and it's starting to really hurt me. When I try to have an opinion, people tell me that I have to watch what I say. Why? When I bring up concerns and things that are bothering me (whihc is hard enough to do in the first place), all I get told is that it will be looked into and "They've been doing this for a long time...give them the benefit of the doubt."

It's really hard for me to express how I feel and what I think. I bottle things up so much because I worry too much about what other people will think. Things build and, every now and again, I have a "break-down." Things get thrown, tears are shed, screaming occurs (sometimes), and I end up with a very worthless feeling inside. If people are really going to try and help me be more assertive, then they need to support the process rather than hinder it. And let me know what's going on. And don't invalidate my feelings. In the past few days, I've heard the following comments (directed towards me):

"You're being paranoid"
"You're over-reacting"
"You're being overwhelming"
"You shouldn't worry about that"
"Just back off"
"They know what they're doing"
"I can't help you, because I wasn't there so I don't know what really happened"


Some of these things may have been true, but I feel kind of annoyed when someone is basically telling me that I'm in the wrong for having certain feelings. These haven't exactly been the easiest of times: work, school, adn leadership are taking up all of my time - a lot of my friendships are kind of on hold at the moment - I'm really homesick and I don't have the time to call home that often - I'm sick. Not exactly the most ideal of situations. It's stressful, but people don't seem to want to let me be stressed. Instead, they want to tell my that I'm overreacting and wrong. Since when is an opinion wrong. I see things and I feel things and I'm pushing myself to actually aknowledge these things and speak up. It's really hard, and I don't think some people realize how hard.

Anyway, all this stemming from a conversation this afternoon that left me feeling stupid and wrong (again because I was made to beleive that I'm overreacting). I definitely had two things I needed to discuss in this conversation and never even got to number two because I didn't think it would make any difference. And that is where I think the problem is.

"Warner Bros. has announced today that the very first Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix trailer will premiere in theaters on Friday, November 17, before showings of the animated movie Happy Feet."

I haven't really truly updated in a while...and there's good reasons for that. It also seems that I'm going to continue that for right now. Just two quick things:

1. I'm going back to Seattle in 5 days and there's mixed feelings there (as always)
2. I finally finished the RHSA website and it kicks A$$...okay, so its not entirely finished but a very large majority is completed and its finally up online

Alright...that's it.

"The Vatican has never been a fan of Harry Potter, but its chief exorcist has gone one step further and condemned J. K. Rowling's fictional boy wizard as downright evil.

"Behind Harry Potter hides the signature of the king of the darkness, the devil," says Father Gabriele Amorth, the Pope's "caster-out of demons".

The books contained numerous positive references to the satanic art, falsely drawing a distinction between black and white magic, he told the Daily Mail in London. In the same interview, Father Amorth said he was convinced that Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler were possessed by the devil.

Last year the Pope, who was then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, described Harry Potter as a potentially corrupting influence."

So, geeky Harry Potter fan that I am, I got this story in my daily "wizard" newsletter. My reaction is basically "What the crap?" Seriously, people...its just a book and a fictional book for goodness sakes. And I would also like to point out that our previous pope, John Paul II, lauded Rowling for her Christian values.

Now I'm just going to go off and finish reading my book about a sexual predator who's trying to create a happy family with 3 women he kidnapped by hiding out in their houses during Open House :)

Have a good night!
