But now, in the last 2 months, I’ve met 2 others with my name. One girl, a cashier at Walmart, spelled her name Arriielle. At least, that’s pretty close to how the name tag looked. I think she had at least double the letters, so I may have left a few vowels out. The other I met was the daughter of a 16 year old. The baby was very cute, but I could tell what the 16 year old had grown up watching.

I’m at my mom’s house. Dinner has been served, a fine time has been had by all. I’ve been running all day, and haven’t even had a chance to call Kate. My niece was asleep in my arms, and I’m typing and watching the Princess Bride. I will go home in a minute to my cold, dark computerless house. I’ve decided to console myself with a couple of really good movies. I’ve decided to start off with Ladyhawke, and then move on to either What Dreams May Come, or Bicentennial Man. Both designed to make me cry my eyes out, in a good way. Did I mention I’m eating Mint Chocolate Chip Icecream, out of the carton? I am. Shameless, I know. But there isn’t enough left dirty a dish. Belle is sitting on my Mom’s lap, next to her cousin who is now sleeping in Grandma’s arms. She is attempting to wake her up. “No Belle, don’t lift up her eyelids.” Poor child. Belle will fall asleep in 3 minutes, once we are in the car. I am almost sick at the idea of no computer. What on earth am I to do at 2 in the morning? Or 4? Well, Mom just said she would give me a sleeping pill, Maybe I will take it… The thought of 6 hours of sleep is very tempting. Well friends, goodbye until tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll be over at Grandma’s bright and early.

Numerous conversations in my house have revolved around the downloading of illegal music. I don’t like it, its stupid and it’s illegal, for petes sake. Well, this morning, J took it in his head to download a new song. He got the song, all right. He also got a virus, which froze the computer. When he tried to restart the computer, he got a blue screen that said the boot partitions could not be found. So I am pissed. My computer is at the Dr.’s right now, aka Dad’s house. He says the hard drive may be gone. I liked that computer! I’ll have one in a few days, but for now, I’ll be forced to creep round to other’s houses to read my mail and blog like the addict I am.
