Hello world...I want my jar of dirt

which doesn't make sense if you haven't seen potc2 yet
I have it, I officially have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well, actually I own one DVD and mom owns the other, since we split the cost, but I made it pretty clear that I own disc 1. I still haven't been able to watch any of disc 2 yet.
ok, so I could have tonight, but I watched the Matrix instead, for the first time, at my dad's suggestion. and it was good. i liked it a lot. kinda gross, but that can be cool at times...
isn't it strange how you can totally tell how a person is feeling by how they're typing? Like, a little of what they say, and then how they use punctuation and smileys and email talk and stuff. like right now I'm kinda blah. and indecisive, but mostly content. blah explains why nothing I'm currently typing is interesting, indecisive is why there's almost no capitalization, and mostly-content is why my punctuation is all in the right places. if I were super excited (like on Tuesday when potc came out) the it would be a lot of capitals and exclamation points, and probably a lot a phrases but few complete sentances. and I would be in a hurry so there would be a lot of typos. if I were depressed then it would all be uniform, and not extremely interesting and I'd probably use more peotry and song lyrics. blah is totally the layout - no capitals, all one long paragraph like I'm doing now...
I could probably stop now, huh? (if you happen to be Canadian, that translates to "I could probably stop now, eh?")
My dad got a new cell phone. it's called...something like triangle or three or tri-something. it's basically a phone and palm with some computer qualities (Word, Excell, e-mail/internet, tiny little keyboard, etc.) and it's really cool but for some reason I couldn't talk him into giving me his old phone...hmmm, can't imagine why ;)
so now he's downloading a whole bunch of awesome ringers, like:
"Me I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest - honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly...stupid."
"Where's Elizabeth?" "She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington just like she promised, and you get to die for it just like you promised, so we're all men of our word really...except for Elizabeth who is, in fact, a woman."
"Stop blowing holes in my ship!"
And lots of other ones that I can't remember. he's got the MI theme song...and some other things. HeatMiser song. he loves that.
yeah. my dad's weird. like me.
once he had me totally convinced that it was Saturday when it was really Friday and he was staying home for some reason. or maybe it was really Saturday and he made me think it was Friday...no, it was really Friday. i think.
my dad's awesome. you can debate this all you want, but he's the best dad in the world. and I know we all think that about our dads, and wouldn't get anywhere arguing, so let's just not even start ok?

we just finished watching part 2 of Horatio Hornblower, something something something about a fire ship I think...any takers? It was pretty good.
or course part 1 last night was pretty good too. English-French (and now Spanish) wars after Napoleonic reign thingy. All about the navy. it's cool. i've always liked that era (since Anna got me started on the Count of Monte Cristo, which seemed like forever ago since I'm taking my sweet time finishing it, so it might as well be always), and i for the most part like watching movies about it, this was not an exception. Master and Commander is an exception.
enough of that...what's everyone doing for Christmas? We're here early morning, then going to Seattle for my mom's family's brunch, then spending the day with my mom's parents. how about you guys?

what else was I going to say...can't remember. maybe it wasn't anything. it's funny, but when you don't post for long enough, you forget "all those things" you were going to talk about.
Namarie, melloni nin.

oh BTW, Comet got 2nd place in her class at our cat show last weekend, and I got third in Fitting and Showing, and I got first in Cage Decorations (!) and also third in Knowledge, which is a written test thingy. Then I met Anna!!!!!!!!
