Apparently I said something to mom last night that pissed her off and now she isn't speaking to me. Everyone thought she had a headache until she threw something at me.
  I wouldn't care normally, I've never understood her so I don't try anymore, and I'm used to dealing with this once a month or so. But I miss James so bad today its unreal, just thinking about him, seeing his picture is enough to bring me to tears. I've never had it this bad before, and I know why. I hadn't realized until now that I had been using mom as my replacement for James. I didn't have him to talk to and confide in and lean on. I don't do this with mom for obvious reasons. She just isn't the kind of person you can do this with. She isn't . . . steady enough. Yeah, I guess steady is the word. Her mood swings might not always be strong but they are random and you never know how long its going to last. 
  I have always known better than to bring mom that close, but then I've always had James, too.

Today is Inu yasha day. We get the last 3 volumes from Netflix this week, so we're having a little party while we watch. Chips, chocolate chip cookies, cashews and coffee ice-cream (for the non-vegans). It's kinda sad that its over, we've been obsessed with it for months. We still have the four movies tow atch, but it really only adds to the finality. Kayla and I can't decide, Naruto or Tenchi Universe next?
  That reminds me, since M is so into Inu yasha, and once she starts school I won't be watching her anymore and she'll have no access to anything anime, I've decided what I'm getting her for christmas. Check it out.

At first I couldn't decide between the figurines and the Kirara plushie, but they are about the same price and I think she'l get more play out of the figurines. More for the money.

 God, I miss James today. If I keep my self occupied I don't notice he isn't around. But when my mind wanders. . .
 I pray for him every night. I'm almost sure prayer works. Or maybe I just have great karma, my prayers have always worked. It's kinda creepy, really. Ack, I probably just jinxed it. 
 Hey if anyone else out there has a little brother in the marines, add mine to your prayer would you? Can't hurt. My god, he looks so young here! I think he was about. . . 15?

If you won $100 this afternoon, what would you do with it? Put it towards fixing my car, which has $1200 worth of damage.
