like oh my god you guys.  it's finally happened.  i never thought it would, the way this year has gone so far, but this is it.

my mom just called on her cell phone.  she's picking up my brother at the school, she'll be home a bit later, and could i kindly get the chicken fajitas out of the freezer so they thaw out?

ok.  see you then.  i sure can.

and then.

"so, we'll go get your senior pictures taken tonight, okay?"

argh.  i sigh, make a lot of bad noise about it.  "why?  can't we just get them done some other time?  i don't wanna."  she says how she doesn't feel like doing anything tonight.  i say i don't either.  she says i never feel like doing anything and that we should just go get it over with.

oh well.  we're just gonna go to sears.  i don't even think i'll have to dress up.

last night, lindsay and i were laying in each other's arms in bed, and we were both laughing really hard.  it happened a couple of times.  i don't remember what was said, but i'm fairly certain i said something really terrifically witty, and she laughed, and then i realized that she was laughing because it was funny, and that made me laugh because i realized she found it funny.

oh how we laughed.

i wonder if she honestly finds me that humorous.  i guess she could, eh?  i don't know why, but i guess she could.

it's just nice to have someone to hold onto again, when i think there's no one else around.  it's nice to have a shoulder to grip, a side to rub, a person that you know (think) is laughing because she actually finds what you sayamusing, not just to appease your ego.

i just wish i could remember what i said to make her laugh so hard.  maybe i'd try the material out on someone else.
