As much as I occasionally complain about them, I do love all of my siblings dearly. I certainly wouldn't choose to lose any of them.

In fact, I was supposed to have an older brother, but my mother had a very late-term miscarriage. So if I had to choose, I would have Jeff, Dennis, Julia, and Rachael.

I wonder a lot about how my life would be different if Jeff had lived-- whether I would have been born at all, even. I've gotten a lot of alternate universe stories written from his perspective, actually, and on days when I really don't like myself I sit around and wonder what his life would have been like if he'd been around and not me.

I just found out that Dennis isn't coming home for Thanksgiving, while I'm on the topic of my siblings. I'm really sad about this; I like my brother a lot and holidays just aren't the same when he's not there.


I'm almost done getting ready for Semiformal. My eye makeup looks as iffy as it always does when I do it myself, I really fail at being a girl when it comes to anything to do with makeup at all. The dress still looks good on me, though. All I have to do is paint my nails and put on my shoes and hat and I'll be ready to walk out the door.
