..you've said it all

Right now I'm watching "Trick My Truck" on CMT. It's right where it belongs, because it's the most country thing I've seen in a while. They put hydraulics on a semi. Who does that?

But I'm just waiting until Miami Ink comes on. And for my brother to come home, so I can congratulate him. because... he... got ... in.... to..... Madison (slow motion used for effect). His number one, where's he's been on the waiting list.

And I didn't know this until tonight, because no one tells me anything :(
(You'd think someone would've bothered to mention it)

But it makes me so so so happy because
-he's happy
-my family (my parents and my dad's whole side) will be happy that he's following tradition
-he'll be with his girrrlfriend
-it's close. close enough for me to get to on a whim if i just need to be around the only part of my family that doesn't drive me crazy 100% of the time. you know, if he lets me.

But the fact that my Jack knows what he's doing next year really makes me realize that he won't live here anymore, and I'm already not looking forward to it.


And, as for me? I have no idea what I'm doing after high school. Maybe I'll travel the world, walk the streets of Paris with a trenchcoat carrying a loaf of French bread under my arm, or go to Iceland and eat a ham sandwich. You in?
