Hooo boy, I'm surprised that I still remembered my login for Blogger...it's been so long!! Speaking of which, the last couple of months staying at my sister's place have been inexpressibly long and dull...my two young nephews notwithstanding, I could feel myself slowing morphing into a Southerner with each balmy afternoon...only without the mint juleps on the porch at sundown. What's the point if there is no alcohol?!?!

However, it was not without it's moments of progress, my sister and I are now tolerating each other a bit better; she doesn't try and drag me off to church and I don't yell at her for her weird relationship with her so-called boyfriend, she doesnt drag me off to church and I resist the temptation to subvert my young nephews. Family bliss. It was nice spending QT with my Mom, it also made me realise how different my relationship with her is from my other siblings; we're like sisters more than mother and son. Just watching my sister gape at some of the things I could say to my mother was worth the boredom and lack of liqour alone...Hehehehe.... Of course that kind of bonding doesn't come without some costly revelations, seeing the look of horror and disgust on my mother's face when she saw the news report that Canada was allowing gay marriage told me volumes about just how open I can be to my mom; not at all.

So rather rashly, I left Columbia, SC for Columbus, OH with very little money and a prayer that I could find a place to live and breather freely for a while before grad school starts, those hopes were dashed when I realised that I would be staying with the most hetero ex-frat boys I have had to spend time with in years. All I am hoping for now is that I get a place soon and start enjoying the bounty that Columbus has to offer. Uh huh, you heard me...corn-fed bounty :-)
