i'm dead tired. we just spent 7 hours at the freaking hospital. hospitals suck and probably at least 70% of the people who work there suck, too. everyone here is fine, nobody died or anything. i'll write more later, but i don't know when that will be ... since my brother is coming in tomorrow, and then his girlfriend the next day, and ... who knows what else can happen. point is, i might be gone for a few days again, but at least this time there will be an actual reason for my absence.
