tate, being pursued by three women, who left unsatisfied
the demise of pumpink, which created a lovely toasted marshmellow aroma
flashing lights behind my eyelids during the mana storm
getting kissed by Jafryn a lot, to the total disgust of nearby persona (namely Chelsea)
Finally getting some useful circle three spells! and getting to use detect disease and cure [...]

I got my pumpkin I wanted. The saga of the pumpkin:
…..
Mom: Good morning love. Pumpink Pumpkin still lives?
Aubrey: hehe yep :)
Mom: She is a legend in her own time :).
Aubrey: I hate to tell you “her” name is Freddy.
Aubrey: because, see, I was telling my friend Dave that it’s hard to tell the whiskers are [...]

A huge “you know you’re a child of the 80’s, if…” list, with the ones that apply to me in bold.
It’s fun!
You ever ended your sentence with “psych”
You solved the Rubics cube…..by peeling off the stickers
You watched the pound puppies
You can sing the rap to “the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”
You wore biker shorts under [...]

Thanks to those who commented with encouraging words about my family situation. Those were nice, and I hope my mom reads them too. I’ve been feeling rather odd lately, which may be reflected in my lack of meaningful updates. I just feel blah… lethargic… stagnated. Not depressed or sad, but just apathetic. I’ve been thinking [...]

Anyone who reads this journal who is the praying type, could you please join me in praying for my family? My mom just told me that my dad lost his job today. It was totally unexpected. My mom is still fighting cancer (she’s in chemotherapy), and they’ve already run up a lot of debt with [...]
