My parents want me to stay a week when I go back home, instead of heading straight to John’s cottage and coming back here. I’m not quite sure what to do. There isn’t that much for me to do at home, especially with John living far away and attending summer school, Darren working, and a frustratingly slow P200 in the study. I’ve been informed that my Uncle Eddie and Aunt Margaret are arriving tonight from Hong Kong, and that my parents would like for me to see them before they leave. I don’t really know these people very well, since we live on different continents, so getting to know them better after gaining some maturity would be nice. I wish Priscilla was coming too, so I could find out more about her. She’s a mystery to me, someone who doesn’t seem to share her thoughts or feelings, as if she’s grown bitter with her life but puts on a smile so she doesn’t raise any questions. I have a lot of respect for her scholarly pursuits and want to know more. I don’t know if I could last a week, bored at home, without WC3 to play with Jackee.

I’ll be missing Drew’s kegger this Friday, which is too bad because I’ll be missing another chance at seeing him drunk. Drew is one of those guys who doesn’t seem to get drunk that often, but when he does, he becomes slightly charismatic and talks without restrain.

I’ve been getting quite a few invites to camping trips and LAN parties, but unfortunately, having a ride is the key aspect. Only a few people have cars, and even fewer of them happen to be friends I’m comfortable with asking for a ride. It’s too bad, because so many things that I want to be able to do require an automobile. Even heading out to the golf course with Aaron is pain just because I’d have to lug my clubs on the bus. I’m not as desperate as Aaron to get one, but I’m sure I will be someday.
