I stayed up late last night talking to Greg again. I love talking to him, but I hate how it takes me up to an hour to end the conversation. Many times, it ends with me saying, "There's the little beep that means my battery's dying. ... There it is again. ... If I don't hang up now, we're going to get cut off." He called me again today, because our conversation did not end well last night. The incredible thing was, not only did we come to a resolution, but we ended today's conversation much happier than when we started it. I know I felt great. But my battery was drained again.

My family went to some football event on the Mall today. (The one in D.C., not the kind you shop in.) They go a lot of places without me now. That wouldn't affect me so much if I had (a) a driver's license and (b) my car back. I do enjoy having the house to myself sometimes, though.

Right after my family came back, the power went out. For no reason. There hasn't been a storm in a few days (though we're due for some this week). I was practicing piano, which, come to think of it, I still have to finish. I used the downtime to cover my flimsy PreCal book and sit on the porch to read. In return, I have a covered flimsy book and bug bites on my arms.

Randomly: Now I understand what people mean when they keep insisting that LiveJournal is a community.
