There were many more pictures (Rachel and Sam...) but I will spare you. Hilarious camera though, if you get a chance to play with one. We forwarded a bunch of pictures to my parents and my mom was in tears laughing at all of them.
The rest of Kansas was great too. I dont think I have really had a chance to hang out with Mere for an extended amount of time since high school maybe. While she was at class I got to catch up on a bunch of reading and thinking and such. It was fun to be back in a college town for a bit.
Right now I am in Claude, Texas helping my grandparents move into a new house and hanging out with family. We have a family reunion on Saturday and after that I am headed to McMurry to hang out with my boy Hunter. Really I will go just about anywhere to hang out with someone if they will put me up for a week.
Ever since my Fall plans decided not to work out I have just been doing little odd jobs for money and then using that money to go see people. Sure, it is nice to be able to do whatever you want with your time, but I feel really selfish. Everyone keeps telling me, "just enjoy it while you can, 'cause this is the only time you can do that." I guess they may be right, but I think just doing whatever I want for my own enjoyment is pretty pointless. No purpose in what you are doing, ya know. This is why I dont ever what to have a meaningless job. Not a good steward of my life. It has been nice just to get to be out on my own for a while with plenty of reading and reflecting time, but I am starting to become anxious. Beginning in December I have solid plans to get on with my life, and I am looking forward to that.
I am glad I have this blog, but I'm gonna be honest, I feel obligated to put something up every so often when I dont really have much to say. The result is the tired sort of entries you have received since returning from Alaska. I would rather just talk to people, so I'm gonna lay off this unless I have something a little more upbeat or interesting to say.
For my sign off I am doing the thing the Little Rascals do with their hand under their chin to say bye,
