oh, let me tell you about the sad man

INTERNET. If ever you are thinking, "Hmm. I miss that person! I wonder what s/he is up to! I should send an e-mail that way," DO IT. Send that e-mail! I woke up yesterday morning to the best e-mail ever, which was the best for the sole reason that it was from someone I haven't properly spoken to in years. It was amazing and she even attached a picture of her cat! Which was great! (On the other hand, don't do this if it's someone who broke up with you a year ago and the e-mail is actually because you want to get back together, not that you say that at the time. That is a douche move and my ex-girlfriend who did that basically destroyed every last shred of goodwill I had for her when she pulled that stunt.)

It snowed the other day. I know pretty much all of you live in places where that is a thing that is a regular occurrence, but this is the first time I have lived somewhere where it snows, so sitting in my bed and watching it snow outside my window was a little surreal. Okay, a lot surreal.

My nephew has been playing flag football! My sister claimed 13 as his number, because she loves me and thought he was going to be on the Dolphins. :D He ended up on the Giants, which is obviously an inferior team, but he also sacked the quarterback to prevent a touchdown in their second-most-recent game! I am very proud of my boy.

In closing, this is what Leighton Baines had to say about the return of &PIENAAR; to Everton: I have been texting him since the day he left to see if he was coming back. (There is more here about their innate understanding and chemistry and how Baines is REVELING in Pienaar. &team; &homoerotic sports journalism;)
