I feel terrible. Slept for a few hours, only got up so I can sleep later on

My brother and his friend came by about one, left about two thirty or so. Which, you know, really makes that three and a half hour drive TOTALLY worth it. And, by the way, right after I fell asleep, he called me to let me know that...I really don't remember. Something trivial. So yeah, I feel pretty wretched. Tomorrow is another day.

I really feel uncomfortable with the fact that my friends act more like my family than my family sometimes. The parents have been better, but everything has completely changed since my grandma died. It's hard to explain. Had things been different, there's no way I would go back for Thanksgiving.

Apparently the Bridge School show was good, if anyone cares. Teagan and Sarah apparently stole it. I have a shirt.

And I think I had the best birthday I've ever had. Like, by far. And I can't express to those who were there how much it meant to see them. Even those who weren't there, who I either saw the next day or will see soon. Seriously, I can't thank them enough.

"Amelie" is quite an amazing movie. Completely caught me by surprise. Good message, to boot. I can't decide if I'm capable of such positive actions, however. I would like to think I am. Really, I would. But how much can cynicism take away from kindness? I really never thought they were even related, because you should be able to be cynical and kind. But I don't know. Good flick, one I will definitely pick up. Had I not sealed the envelope, I'd watch it again, in fact. Has potential to be one of those "outlook changing for no less than a month" movies I enjoy way too much.

"Bought" my first Norman Mailer book on Amazon. Naked and the Dead. I've heard very good things, and Mailer is on my list.

Really, I'm all half sedated, so yeah, this one ain't one for the collection. Hope everyone is doing well.

Later.
