I have missed you!

So much!

My family thing is over with, I think, cross your fingers, and thank God for that. The short version is: there was a death in the family. The long version is: the family is only related by blood. The good news is: it wasn't emotional for me. The bad news is: it was emotional for just about everyone else and I had to be there. Sometimes I got to be really useful like installing the wireless router. Other times, I was very not useful and contributed only negatively to already negative-charge situation. It was really truly a horrible experience, one of the worser ones of my life, and it brought out so many of the bad sides of me. It brought out good sides too, I suppose, and I made a good impression on these people I'm related to that I don't really know, but I still wasn't able to handle the situation with all my resources, and for that I am disappointed. Also, I hate being reminded that there are still ways I can grow.

I am hesitant to write concluding thoughts because I just don't trust that it's over.

So, in the mean time, while I knock on wood, let's talk about something else.

Do you visit The Collective every day? Because there is a no reason not to. Firstly, there is a new post every single day (except for the weekend). AND we all write on the same topic every week, which I think is kinda cool if I do say so myself. This week we're writing about our addiction to the internet and how much we read of it--using the magic of Google Reader. You must check it out.
