BWAHAHAHAHA!
I was watching Revenge of the Sith today and when the Jedi arre betrayed there's this part where a little padwan goes up to Anakin and is all like, "Master Anakin! There's too may of them. What are we going to do?" And Anakin draws up his lightsaber and the kid's like, "oh, shit!" HAHAHA that shit is hilarious

Siblings
Please notice the time at which I am writing this post. As I laid in bed a little earlier waiting for my sister's call, I was planning to write this blog tomorrow morning. But now I am pissed off.
The following entry recounts some of the events of tonight.
~6:00 pm - My sister calls. She says she is going out with "some friends" for a while and asks to be picked up at the metro station in an hour or two. I am inconvenienced by this, because me and Joe (who, incidentally, is visiting) have planned to have dinner and having to pick her up would kind of fuck up our plans. I am also puzzled by her, because I had the impression that she was going to have dinner with our cousins. I ask her about this and she says she'll call me back...She calls me back, saying that she will indeed eat out with our cousins and asks to be picked up at the metro station at ten instead. I agree to do this even though, as I tell her, I am already very tired and sleepy.
10:11 pm - Having already tried to call her up twice within the previous hour, I leave my sister a message saying that it is past the agreed upon time and that I am much too sleepy to wait up any longer for her. I tell her to try to get a ride home with one of our cousins whom she is with (who lives a short walk from our house) but, should the worst happen, to give me a call to pick her up.
10:30 pm - Lights out for me. Within five minutes I shall fall asleep, phone in hand.
12:58 am - My phone, still in my hand, begins vibrating, waking me up with a start. It is my sister, asking me to pick her up. I tell her that it is three hours past our agreed upon time (she apologizes) and that she should wait to get a ride with our cousin previously mentioned. She says she'll call me back...She calls back. Okay, she says, she'll get a ride.
Not long after we hang up, I begin to feel the pangs of guilt. I shouldn't let my sister have to wait in a bar for our cousin if she doesn't want to. However, I don't think it would be safe for her to ride metro alone at this hour. So I call her. I tell her that if she really wants to go home now, I can pick her up. I am about to mention that I don't think riding alone is safe but she interrupts me, asking if I am sure. There is a hint of urgency in her tone because, as she tells me she is "entering the train station" and is about to lose signal.
"What the fuck?!" I think. She isn't with our cousin after all! She has to ride metro alone anyway. Since she's already going to ride metro alone, I reason with myself, I might as well pick her up. I tell her this. She loses signal and the call is dropped.
I wait up to allow my senses to recover for when I drive out pick her up. Already a bit annoyed, I start writing this entry in my head to post in the morning. A few minutes later, she calls back. She tells me that she is riding the train with her "friends" and that her mysterious "friends" will give her a ride home. I say, "but I've already been waiting up. I may as well pick you up." Failing to see the logic of this, she says "My friends will drop me off. I'll call you to open the door." "Great," I think, "another phone call to wait for." I realize that by waiting for her at home I will not risk crashing my car, so I agree. But instead of going back to sleep I decide to wait up and type this post up, because I am simply infuriated.
The initial point of this long-winded post was to ask why I feel bad for doing what is only fair. I felt bad telling my sister to wait to get a ride even though she was 3 hours late, and in the middle of the night, too. But now I am just pissed at not having been told the "friends-dropping-me-off" bit until after I've been staying awake. And who the hell are these mysterious "friends" who are taking her home??? Are they trustworthy? Why the hell is she always so fucking elusive??? Why the fuck is she so inconsiderate? Just some of the things that is irritating about siblings, I suppose.

A Return to Form
This blog has been needing something to brighten it up a bit, hence this post.
I used to draw very well. I suppose I still do, but I'm out of practice, and all I really get to do is doodle here and there during class. But today I had a nice big piece of bristol board and a pencil, so I asked my niece if she wanted me to draw anything. She said, "you draw Monsters, Inc."
So here:

What surprises me most about this drawing is how quickly I did it--under thirty minutes. Also, I only erased once!
Oh yeah, whatever copyrights apply, this is all Disney's, please don't sue, I'm broke
