Well folks, that’s it. In 2.5 hours I’m “waking up” to get ready for my flight at 9:45a EST. Natually, I can’t seem to sleep. It seem that in the three days I’ve been sustaining on 2.5 hour naps. I feel like Churchill, only thinner. And not Brittish.

This actually reminds me of a quote (read: I googled it) by him. We have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy. As opposed to what? Salt candy? Natto? Eww.. Natto…

What is natto anyway? Natto is fermented soybeans covered in a thick layer of slime. It must be good since the Japanese ate it for a 1000 years… right? Vile! It’s to beans what yogurt is to milk! But Mass, a diet of natto has been proven to reduce obesity. No shit! I could have told you that! If it comes down between eating natto or starving, there is not one person (except 1000 year old japanese men) who would eat it. Besides, I think the 1000 year old japanese only ate it on a dare or because they lost a bet. Here’s a site that even has pictures and the demonic instructions for making this delicacy.

But getting back to the main point, I probably won’t have internet access intil monday or tuesday… maybe later.

Next time I post, I should be in good ol’ Redmond Washington!

Four updates in one day? What am I, flipping boared or something? You figure that with all the stuff I’ve had to do (put up with) I wouldn’t have time to do this.

Well, my house is now packed in neat little (and not so little) boxes and it’s all been shipped. All that remains is your truly. Haha bitches! I’m the last to leave but the first to get there. Boo ya!

More later!

Ok, they just took my car… all that is left is for the movers to get here and take my stuff. Heh, looks like I’ll be the last thing to be shipped. I hope the FedEx boxes have air holes for me.

Those the know me well know that I’m very close with my family and I wouldn’t have it any other way. They’ve always been there for me whenever I needed it and even now, on the verge of my adventure, they still offer kind support and warms smiles even though I know they are sad to see me go. We’ve always been the Four Musketeers, All for one and one for all, we always say that to each other, we have since I can remember. Words cannot even begin to describe what I’m feeling right now knowing that I wont see them for a long while. They vowed to come see me as much as they can, my mom working for an airline certainly helps things. Still, I’ll miss the day-to-day things, the ingrigues, the laughter, the surprises, the food. Yes, I’ll even miss being my Dad’s tech support guy.

It’s funny, everyone who has any ability with a computer usually always ends up being the computer guru of the family, and I know that most of my friends fill out this role in the their own families. At first you want to show off your talent and do a good job until eventually you get called on for the simplest things. Mass, why did my icons move? Mass, I got a new version of Program X that you’ve never used, I can’t figure it out. Help Me. Mass! Mass! Mass! You start dreading hearing your name when they are sitting in front of the computer. But you know, as I cleared another computer “crisis” tonight, I realized I will miss that. When I have trouble with my car, I know I can always call on my dad. When I have life issues, I can always talk to my mom. When I just have issues, I can go to my brother who kindly acts as my therapist (and ends up knocking some sense in my noggin’). When they have computer problems, they come to me. All for one and one for all. *sigh* Heh, I’m gettin misty eyes as I write this. I will miss them so very much.

My brother is absolutely my best friend in the world. He’s younger than me by three years, but the age difference never bothered us, we’ve always been equals. He’s the kindest, most sincere, person I’ve likely ever to know with an acute aversion for hypocrisy. I love the fact that he means what he says and says what he means. He’s given me more breaks that I’ve probably ever deserved and we’ve always pushed each other to aspire to be more. Marco, I wish you could come with me, but Mom and Dad would probably kill me.

I’m gonna stop here for now, I’ve still lots to do and the screen is looking kinda blurry.
