I'm out of cheese.
I guess that's the first thing I wanted to say. My house has been out of cheese for forever, and every time we go to Wal-Mart (that's right, the "W" word) we never remember to pick up cheese. It's actually a horribly painful situation, not having cheese. Nothing to put on my microwaveable burritos, nothing to accompany my summer sausage and crackers when I'm watching a movie; it sucks.

Now I need to finally make an update about my real life in the real world. Really.

One. The debate season has pretty much ended. For my first year, it has very well fulfilled all my expectations. You see, my brother was a debater in Louisiana, and a damn good one at that. In fact, probably the only reason he didn't go to nationals is because it costs $1500 or so. (Luckily, though, this school actually pays our way to nationals if we make it. So if I can qualify next year... oh yeah.) And when some friends of mine joined debate two years later and went crazy about it, I had some high hopes.

If I do want to get a better record next year, though, I'm going to have to find a new partner. Of all the partners I've been with this year (four) only one was any good. Now, don't get me wrong - I'm not what you would call a debate god, either. Often times, I'll go too fast and stumble over words. Other times I'll just be a total ass to the other team. But when it comes to the debate part of the round, and not the speech part, I am pretty good debater. Oh well, there's still next year, which means more experienced people in my class and new freshmen, some of whom may have a knack for the thing.

Dos. My sister left for a visit back to Ruston last Wednesday (I told you I needed to make an update about my life). She absolutely loathes living here, and I don't really blame her either. Heck, you've seen me rant about how crappy it is here. (And you've seen my petition, which you desperately need to sign. Now.) But she was missing her old friends and her old town unbearably, and franky, it was getting incredibly agitating. So dad let her fly down there with a ticket that they both payed for, and she spent a little under a week there and is coming back up right now. Which leads me to...

7hr33. So my brother and oldest sister are coming back up to Kansas with the aforementioned sister. First, though, they're stopping in Arkansas to visit my granpa. After that, they're meeting up with my grandma and aunt (on the other side of the family and also residing in Arkansas), who will be traveling up here with my brother and sisters. We totally do not have enough freaking room in a three-bedroom house for seven people. It's going to be crazy.


Now you'd better go eat something. I'll bet you're hungry.
