Tuesday, December 24th

Finally, I can sit down and type. I type pretty fast, and this Dreamcast keyboard is pretty slow, so if decides to drop letters, don't complain to me, complain to Sega.

I've also decided that after I get back to Austin, I'll post these entries as Real Entries incase anyone missed them.

Anyways, Tuesday. I had 3 new quarts of oil in te pickup, an emergency thre litre of water for the cooling system and a full tank of gas. I was OFF to my uncle's!

Or so I thought.

My uncle lives in a litte town near Nixon, a good 150 miles away. Not a Big Deal for me, espeically since i do long distance driving all the time. But no matter when you leave, the trip will still take upwards of a few hours. I was supposed to leave at 1PM. I left he hose at 3:30. I didn't leave austin until 4:30.

I ended up going straigh to San Antonio, since once i got to Nixon, I'd have to turn and head direct to San Antonio.

So I copromised - I went to SA, but took a VERY long way.

I went through Edge Fals. I've nver understood why it was called that. Everytime I had gne hrough there, there was no water falling or anything. But the day afte a hunderstom..wow. It loked lke a huge tidal wave had goten stuck in oneplace and was just crashing into itself. Beautiul. Iwish i hd my camera....

I stopped in on of the tns to clean of my windshield (Big thunderstorms from West or South Texas always bring sand with them, which rains alongside the water). I was driving into the sun, and the glare was killing me. In the convenience store there was a Santa, just sitting here in Santa Outfit, but wih his real santa-like beard ad hair...just waving to people as they walked in.

Once home, the evening was spent with cousins and aunts and uncles. Gifts were exchanged, and one cousin actually pissed me off. She came to our party with a can of popcorn, the kind with Caramel, Cheese, and Butter flavors. This was brough for the party. When she realized I was here, she go one of my mother's gift tags and signed her name on it. I really wished sh'd have just said "We didn't know you were coming" or "We didn't think you'd be here" instead of giving me something from the party. I don' mean to sound ungrateful, it IS the through that counts...but that was just lame giving m a gift that was supposd tobe an hors'd'oveur.

I did smile and say thank you, tough. Anyone want some popcorn?
