I made it back to school Sunday, after the incredibly long train ride in which we were stuck outside of friggin' Brockville for 45 minutes, and then I was stuck outside of my room for another 40 because my key card no longer worked and April was having the world's longest shower.

Christmas was...excellent. It was up to me to decorate the house, put up the tree and do the holiday baking which I did with gusto. My brother made it home for his second Christmas in 7 years on Christmas Eve, bearing Christmas cupcakes, cheese logs, and crackers. After the parents went to bed, he and I stayed up until 3 in the morning watching the theatrical version of Return of the King. Christmas day involved presents, including a new RotK page-a-day calendar from the dog and a $50 MusicWorld gift certificate from my brother. Shyeah!

But as much as I enjoyed being home, I'm happy to be back at school. Thankfully Fuckwit is no longer with us here in the O-dot, although his deitydamned presence still is [not that I'm going to complain about the iron we stole from him...]. April talks about him alllll the tiiiime, and spends all of her time in her room mooning and pining and talking to him on MSN. He also gave her his old webcam, so now late at night I'm positive that they sit around naked talking to each other. I joked about it to April, and she hesitated and was cagey which confirmed my beliefs.

I missed my big bed and my yeti.
