trip

Later today, I'm going with mom and dad to Flat River, Missouri for a family reunion. It's quite possibly the most boring town to live in, I mean the whole town probably consists of 3 people and a bunch of old, abandoned buildings. Oh well, I'll have my Zune and my phone to keep me from going insane from boredom. It's going to suck.

Well actually, there is really one thing to look forward to, and that's a trip to the town I used to live in in Kansas, which is also where my current dating interest of the female species lives :D I get to spend at least 2 full days in Kansas. Surely one of them will be with my girlfriend.

God, that word "girlfriend". It just dawned on me how much I hate that word. This has absolutely nothing to do with my current relationship, don't get me wrong, but Jesus Christ, I hate that word. Every time I hear it, I want to find the nearest toilet plunger and use its power of suction to damage my eardrums beyond all recognition. I guess the reason I hate it is because it sounds so generic and it could really mean a bunch of things. Technically, I have like a ton of girlfriends, but how many am I dating? Just one. Come to think of it, I actually only hate having to use it to describe the person I'm dating, but I wouldn't mind using it to describe my friends that are girls, because I hate having to stumble around all these words just to get one concept across. Seriously, it annoys the hell out of me. I cringe a bit inside when I'm forced to use terms like "female friend" to avoid annoying childish jokes from a few of my developmentally challenged peers. Anyway...

So yeah, we're going to drive to Missouri. That's right, we're making the 12 hour drive from here to Missouri. Right now as I am typing this, I haven't slept in about 24 hours because I stayed up all night last night and I also woke up at like 3am the day before. I'd care more about this, but Jesus, do I really want to be awake for 12 hours sitting in a minivan cramped full of luggage? Not really. I may have to help mom and dad with luggage and things like that, but by the time I start to feel the effect of this all-nighter, I'll most likely be in the car on the boring-ass way to the boring-ass town of boring-assery. Anyway, gonna tell mom that I couldn't sleep. She'll be pissed off :)

Cya in ten days.
