I just got back from my annual family vacation in South Carolina and I can't believe how much energy I have. I unpacked all of my bags, a task I usually drag out for an entire month. Matt's coming over later on, but that's not for several hours and so I have plenty of time to kill.
So I thought I'd write a recap of the four weeks that I went MIA in the blog world.
In the form of several haiku.
So.
Week One - in which I entertain visiting relatives, and see the Phillies play for the first time ever.
Baseball games are fun
but there isn't much to eat
if you are vegan.
So many things to
do in Philly area.
Aunt just wants to shop.
Where are we going
today? Oh, what a shocker.
Shopping. Stab stab stab.
Hm, aunt just gave me
two hundred dollars to spend.
Shopping not so bad.
Week Two - in which I remedy a certain technological issue, and Jewel and I attempt a Buffy season 1 and 2 marathon.
WHOA A NEW LAPTOP.
WOW THE SCREEN IS SO SHINY.
OMG SO COOL.
Oh, Angel. You are
such a creeper. In some states,
this is harassment.

[As you can see, that was a very exciting week for me.]
Week Three: in which I help my sister prep for college, and can't stop playing Sid Meier's Civilization 4.
Just one more turn. Then
I'll go to bed. Just one more
turn. SHIT IT'S SUNRISE.
(Why am I)
unexpectedly
nostalgic over shower
caddies and whiteboards?
[OK, had to cheat on that one a little bit.]
Week Four: in which I play D&D, help Linds house sit, and attempt to make my dad a cake for his birthday.
90 percent sure
we're playing this game wrong, but
damn, is this game fun.
Adorable house
makes me want to buy a house.
What magic is this?!
Well, dad, I made you
this nice cake, BUT NOW IT'S GOT
ANTS ALL OVER IT.
[True story. I left it on the counter and the next morning it was completely crawling with tiny, tiny ants. Nice.]
If you decide to leave a comment, feel totally free to haiku. That's right, haiku's a verb now. I just decided.

"All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road to the end." - Neil Gaiman, American Gods

You should consider writing an entire memoir in haiku form. I'd totally buy that book. This was great.
