It's quiet here

My parents are both out of the state, so it's very quiet in this house. They left on Sunday, and the first one won't be back until Wednesday evening. I thought about just not worrying about putting on clothes in the morning, but then I realized I have to go outside at least twice a day (to get the newspaper and to get the mail) and then there are the other four problems. They are an 18-year-old cat that is no longer able to retract his claws, a 24-pound cat that thinks my lap is his personal space, a 23-toed cat who likes to sit on one side of the couch, and a cat that loves human contact. So I decided I'd have to wear clothes.

My dad took me to Valley Church again on Sunday, and I noticed that the guy who made the "Love at First Sight" remix on the James & James CD is in the Valley Church worship band. After the service, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Of course, I fell for the old "put your hand on his right shoulder and stand to his left" trick. It was a guy from my connection group this past year--the freshman from West Des Moines who was heading to California the next day (which would be yesterday by now).

Anyway, I was thinking about vampires a couple days ago--because of two strange marks on my neck that could be from a vampire bite, and my body just overhealed the spots--and I remembered reading that they don't like to cross water. According to the book Congo by Michael Crichton, neither do gorillas--not sure if that's true, and I don't feel like reading gorilla research during time off from school. I therefore must conclude that all gorillas are vampires. I hope that this will not cause a panic, but I know how the internet is, so if anyone's interested, I have plenty of garlic here to protect us from these vampire-gorillas. You just have to find me, and hope the marks on my neck aren't from a vampire bite......Muhahahahaha.
