i love you like a stalker loves his stalkee

Now here's a tribute to my cousin Ashley. She's 6, has always been my little buddy, and according to everyone she's like a clone of little-kid-me. She follows me around everywhere and annoys the hell out of me (and I say that in a loving way). She has also been known to lose control if one of her Spirograph pictures doesn't turn out right.. now you may think that's annoying, but I find it admirable... the Spirograph is an art form, and we don't have enough people who recognize that these days (chuckle). She makes movies (with her Barbie Movie Maker of course) that just consist of her dancing, and sometimes mooning, the camera for a straight 10 minutes. Ashley also tends to start brawls with her older sister Morgan and younger brother Davis, complete with punching, kicking, scratching, biting maybe, but then she bawls if Davis accidentally bumps into her. Split personality maybe? Oh, and here's a fun time: yesterday I was mega-, even ultra-, tired so I was glad when Ashley and Davis wanted to watch a movie. I figured maybe with the lights off I could fall asleep and they wouldn't notice. So they watched a Bug's Life for probably 20 minutes, then got bored with it I guess. Ashley then decided it would be fun to cover me in pillows and proceed to jump with her brother from the couch onto me for the next 30 minutes. Me-"I'm not a freaking bed!" Ashley-"You're a cousin.. it's the same thing."

What can I say? I've raised her well... I just hope it's a long time before she grows up and realizes I'm not half as cool as she thought I was.

So anyway, I'm in Decatur at the relatives' house still. I've just been watching the little kids pretty much. Yesterday was Thanksgiving but (sadly) I wasn't really hungry, so I didn't do the whole eat till you're sick thing... I remember one year though, Jack and I decided we could eat more food if we ate lying down. So we ate our turkey and whatnot lying down on the couch, which is as tricky as it sounds, and yeah we did seem to put away a lot more than usual. I wouldn't reccomend it though, I remember feeling sick as soon as I stood up... but anyway.. Oh, I went with the "young'n"s to the SpongeBob movie today. I have to admit I liked it. I mean, singing pirates? How can you say no?

Yeah, well I'll be home early tomorrow sometime. Oh and for those of you interested I'm finally un-grounded tomorrow too.



I want a cookie.
