For some reason, I always feel compelled to post here whenever I'm leaving to go somewhere. :P

I'm off to Maine at some point today, to be staying at my grandmother's cottage until....probably Tuesday. Maybe Monday night; somewhere around then. It's our family reunion this Saturday, the one day a year I get to see my dad's cousins and their kids, who I still don't really know after all these years.

*shrug* Maine's a nice place to be, regardless of uncomfortable instances with distant relatives. :)

It's very, very relaxing. Very quiet, generally breezy on the lake (the cottage is on a lake, actually; Crystal Lake) and just....nice. I'd consider it pretty much the perfect atmosphere for reading. I get quite a lot of reading done when I go up there, partly because of the atmosphere, and partly because we don't do all that much up there. :P

There's no TV, a computer was only recently added as a means for my grandmother to send e-mail, but it's not generally open to everyone else's usage. The idea is to get AWAY from technology, see. So, yeah. It ought to be fun, as it always is.

Ummmm.....yeah. It's a shame, though, that we have to leave TODAY of all days. Today marks two months since I asked Carolyn out, and I had hoped to do something nice together. Alas...

We're supposed to leave sometime in the afternoon today, and it's 1:03. And I'm not packed yet. Soooo.....I'm kind of wondering when we'll be leaving, and if anyone else is packed yet. Hm. I guess I shall have to investigate this.

OH! Something else I just thought of! In addition to our going to Maine, Victoria and her friend Melina are going up as well this very weekend. I don't know how close they'll be to where we are, but I'd really like to try and coordinate something while we're all up there.

And not only is VICTORIA coming up, but my friends the Evolas are coming up as well. ^_^ Joe was in my class at Saint Bernard's, and Suzanne was in the class behind me. Suzanne and I also went to prom together, which was fun. ^_^

Now, I KNOW where they're staying, but I have NO idea where that place is in relation to where we'll be staying. I must needs look into this, methinks. :D

Alrighty then. I'm off to pack. But I'll not leave you empty-handed! If I can remember enough of my HTML knowledge, I can leave you a charming picture of myself before I'm off. :P


That's me, taken on July 6 at a family party. ^_^
