From December 20th until now, some of you may have noticed that I haven't been responding to your messages and/or journals... Because I didn't even bother to think about it, I told very few people about where I've been, and may have confused many of you. I've been freezing like mad in New York for the past couple of weeks, and let me tell you, it's pretty darn cold here! A couple days ago, it was -10F. That's... Just... Sad.

Anyways, other than the extreme cold temperatures, things here have been pretty entertaining. However, with little access to the internet (I've been using the Wii, which is INCREDIBLY diffucult to type with) It's been niegh impossible to talk to any of you guys, which really sucks. Especially with the fact that and I haven't been in communication, I've been in such a horrible mood that you'd not want to come within 50 feet of me at times. It'll be like that until he can get his router working again (or whatever happened there...) So if I start to get angry at any of you, please remember that it isn't your fault at all. You know I love you guys...

I've been doing a LOT of thinking durring my break, and Ive come up with one New Years resolution; Sometime this year, I'll announce to my parent's my sexuality. If that goes well, maybe they should know about Scurge too, but... Let's not get hasty, eh? It'll be hard enough for me to tell them I'm gay, seeing as I have no idea what they'll react to and how they'll take it. Argh... This is very difficult. I've already told one of my cousins about it (he's very understanding about such things, unlike most of my other cousins who are quite immature, especially for thier ages) Apparently, he knows quite a few people who are gay, and thank god, he accpets me for it. Pfft, if he didn't, I can assure anyone that NO ONE in my family would, so there's at least some good out of this trip.

To those of you who I've promised gifts, I appoligise, but they'll be just a tad late. (How late, I'm not certain...) So your patience will be much appreciated. Sorry, everyone...

Hmm... What else to say? It's getting late, so maybe I should type faster, eh? My grandparents got a new kitten (they've been getting loads of those over the years...) I'll post a picture soon after I'm done here. She really is quite cute, a calico persian. Hmm... But you know as they say, looks can be decieving! She looks cute, but boy she hates to be pet, handled, or anyone within a 5 foot radius of her. She's a menace! Rrrg... And so annoying too. Hopefully that'll change when Scurge comes over. I'd hate for anything to ruin his trip, even a stubbornly evil cat!

Maybe I should start heading for bed... We have to go back to Ohio at 5 am, which is about 4 hours from now... I don't run on 4 hours of sleep a day, mind you. Especially with this temper I seem to be growing. Ah well, but before I go, how about you guys tell me about your vacations? I am quite curious.
