Living life backwards...

My life is always at odds with everyone else's.

Not in the argumentative, competitive way. But in the way that when everyone else is down, I'm up. And when everyone is up, I'm down. Now while that may seem to be the best way to be... you know, you can trade off the up and downs in order to strike a nice balance, it never seems to work out that way. I never seem to be able to time things right. Everything I'd like to do tends to end up on the same weekend. Or when I want to talk, everyone is busy. I never finish things at the right time, my endings always end up being lost in a whole slew of ends that are a lot more interesting than mine. When I'm in the mood to stay in, everyone else is heading out. And I really don't wear morose very well. I don't communicate well at the best of times.

Still, it's not only that. I always go at things from the wrong angle, too. If there are two ways to go, I inevitably am the only one to choose right, the rest always take left. If there are two ways to do something, I'm the only one who does it my way. Just try to solve a puzzle with me once. Or write a story. Or even clean the house.

Robert Frost wrote that he took the road less traveled by and that he liked his choice. I don't ever intend taking that road but it's always the one I end up on. It's a damn hard road, really and he never mentions that there's no one to talk to.

Still, the scenery is beautiful because it hasn't been trampled by all the people who think normally.

Life

My house is a mess.

We're seeing if we can buy a car.

Plus work called, I have to go to an all day seminar on Tue. which would have been my last day off.

I'm stressed.

I'm running away.

Actually, I'm going camping with the family. I'm trying to get everything packed and I should leave.... very soon.

I'm planning on posting a happy, everything is wonderful post on Fri.

We're heading up to Gogebic for the camping, so I'm sure that part will be a happy post. And work is, well, work and I gotta expect stuff like that I guess. As for the car, God will provide, I'm sure. He always does.

Have fun!

Change in plans..

Can't make it camping.

That's ok. It is. We will make it be ok.

Actually it isn't all that hard. After being very sad and crying about it, Myr has decided that as long as we go swimming and cook out and play games and spend the time together, she will be happy. She is still holding out for sleeping in the tent, but I know her and she will prefer her bed to the hard ground if it's near by.

• We've decided to hit the nearby water park.
  
• Do a matinee or two.
  
• Play a lot of games
  
• Head over to my folks and cookout over the fire pit, do the s'more thing
  
• Watch The Crimson Pirate DVD
  
• Rent a playstation
  
• Read HP:OotP
  

Actually, it looks like it will be a great deal of fun.

So... I may be around.
