"Since my customary farewell seems oddly self serving, I will simply say good luck."

Ten points to whoever knows what movie that quote is from.
Actually I'm just going to tell you because I want to talk about it. I just got back from the new Star Trek Movie and it was nerdtastically excellent. Actually it was also excellent in a kind of non nerdy way as well which surprised me. Even though Spock was actually Sylar. (From Heroes. Ya I'm probably the only one that watches that show.) But I only thought he was going to steal Kirk's brain at the beginning. I got past it fairly quickly. But now it's like one in the morning and I can't sleep. It's cuz we'd been planning on going to see the movie a bunch of times but things got in the way and we'd put it off like 3 or 4 times. So even though it was a Monday night, we went at 9:45. Hee hee.

Man my life has been crazy lately. Mostly I've just worked a lot. I've worked 35-40 hours at my job every week, which means I'm really sick of chicken right now. But I'm also grateful that I have a job because I know quite a few people who don't have them and can't get one. Stupid Economy. So really the reason that I haven't updated it quite awhile is mostly that I haven't really had the time, or when I have had time I forgot to. Oops.

Also because something has happened, or rather I found out something that I've been avoiding thinking about but I can't really not write it here because its such a big part of my life right now and I suppose the whole point of this IS to write down whats happening in my life. Awhile ago we found out that my mother has breast cancer. When my mom told us about it I kind of didn't believe it because my Aunt also just found out she had breast cancer. But it's true. She's going in for surgery this Friday and starts chemo soon after that. Sigh. They say that this is very survivable and that we shouldn't worry about her dying or anything, but it's going to be a tough summer. Because of the chemo, we won't have a mom a lot of the time. I'm sure we'll be able to get along, I mean Jo's the youngest and she's 15, it's just going to be different. It scares me a bit. Sigh. Mostly I cope by not thinking about it.

And that's my life in a nutshell. That and Cali and Jake are practically engaged so I'm losing my best friend. Seriously I see no reason to come back to Utah next summer. I can take some summer classes, flute lessons or whatever, and if I can find a job I'll be able to get money.....sigh sigh sigh sigh. It's going to be a looooooooooooooooooooooong summer.
