Jul. 1st, 2001 10:30 pmJust finished watching castaway - well, most of it actually. Hella not the movie to watch when you're feeling the driftage, as I am.
Driftage - n. drif * tage [slugese driftero] To feel each experience as your world, without having roots or a home to which you can return and start anew. Right after we moved I was feeling hella d.
So the new carpet is in, and the proceedings surrounding it have caused the driftage. It's so strange to empty the room you've grown up in - I've been in here since I was 5, and don't remember any other. But I'm not moving, so all my stuff hasn't really moved at all, but I feel like I have. My room looks so different without the gold shag that I hardly recognize it. I can unequivocally state that while it looks better, it hardly looks anymore mine than my mothers now. If that makes any sense.
So I had to sleep in my sister's room for two nights, which is fine, I'm used to other rooms.
But what I'm not used to is my own room with a malfunctioning waterbed heater that has turned my bed into an oven!!! and the nasty new carpet smell that causes my nose to bleed profusely at 1am!!! and other such intrusions. Suffice to say I didn't sleep well last night. I had to whip out the heavy sleep artillery - expensive headphones and Bjork's Vespertine. Oh, man. That knocked me right out. For the mere 7 hours that I had left to sleep. Sadly by that point I needed about 14. Oh well.
So my sister was at Bible Camp all week and it ended today, so we went to the big closing Sunday service up at Warm Beach. It was ok... not as cool as I ever want it to be, but it's good to have my sister back. I forget how quiet it is around here without her. She has helped much.
