cornerofmadness

I wasn't supposed to be home for the traditional new year's day dinner (I usually am not) And while I wasn't hung over I was oddly dizzy to the point the parentals didn't want me driving so I canceled on going to see my friend (I'll see her saturday).

Other than that 2009 started off slow. Never even went outside. Mostly the family sat around, drinking, watching Penn State get their asses handed to them then played games.

I guess i should get writing. I wouldn't want to fall behind.
