away from home

you know you've been away from home for too long when...

1. you forget what your brother looks like
2. you get all mushy and emotional and huggy when you finally DO see them.

yes, i gave my mother a hug last night.

after a few awkward pats from her, she politely asked me to release her. haha. i think her exact words were "you can let go now." i think she thought i was having PMS or was depressed/stressed. and i gave verrell and carol hugs too :)

i miss my family.

when i get up for school, my brother has already left and my sister is still asleep.
when i come home, my brother is already asleep and my sister is still out.

that's on the condition that i come home at all.

family is the most important thing in the world, and of all people, i should know better. so i'm making a conscious decision to stay at home this entire weekend; friday, saturday and sunday included. i'll hang out with the family on saturday (dinner maybe?), go for AJ's training on sunday morning and maybe bring annelie and benny shopping in the afternoon.

my swedish cousins are leaving next week, so is my sister. sigh. i wish that the timing had been better, and not at the peak of my submissions. oh well, we'll just have to make up for lost time.

suddenly, i feel the love.
