Hm.

Seeing my sister and her son was the pinnacle and highlight and it was much needed. As I said, her son is rather hairy and it’s actually kind of adorable. He looks like a miniature wookie, like his eyebrows blend into his hair. I YouTubed a Chewbacca sound clip and played it behind his head and he was asleep with his mouth open and in THAT MOMENT HE WAS CHEWIE! Then he smiled and it was immensely cute and I melted.

And besides that my father has been grating on me for most of the day. He’s the kind of person that is really abrasive and is inconsiderate about other people and thinks that people shouldn’t be so “up tight” about things. We got to my sister’s house and I basically went “fuck you world” and had to be by myself and took a nap in solitude. It was much needed because I was about to freak out and start throwing a fit. So it was good to be by myself for a while. Then there’s my younger brother, he’s kind of annoying and I’m glad we got to spend this time with each other but he needs to go one with his teenage shenanigans. Blah blah blah.

Now, we’re just trying to decide what to do tomorrow and the rest of tonight. There was talk of “The Hunger Games” but sleep is looking more and more viable.

This has been a post.

I might have just applied to a university for an online degree in psychology with a concentration in organizational behavior.

Just might have.

Three of them were mildly scary so they weren’t quite nightmares and the other was just ridiculous. If anything it was annoying because my dreamspace could have been used for something else.

My sister wants me to be with her when her son makes “his debut” into the world.

I told her “of course.”

So, I guess this means I’ll be in Phoenix soon.

25 pages into The Fault in Our Stars and I’ve already started crying. This is going to be a difficult book to get through if it carries on like it is.

My sister. Terrifying.

Let me just say that pregnant women scare me. It’s beyond irrational and I know that on some innate biological human level it’s a beautiful thing (and being the basis for propagation of the species doesn’t hurt its image either).

But, on a personal level I’m bothered because of the notion that another life is gestating within the confines of her reproductive system. And that someone had to have sex with her for all of this to be possible. safsdkm;lds,f She knows how I feel about her pregnancy and bless her gravid heart for putting up with/making me deal better with what she’s going through.

Maybe I shouldn’t be so descriptive/imaginative/poignant about it. But she keeps texting me her pregnant lady ordeals (read: swollen feet, a heightened olfactory sense, protruding belly button) and it doesn’t help.

Anyways, she’s having a son and thinking of naming him Harper, which I though was adorbz and didn’t lean towards conventional male gender normative name.

Uncle Jarrett… WELL…

I’m thinking about how my sister told me that she finally found out that she’s having a son. Told her that I was freaking out for her.
