Aw, Loren is coming back tomorrow. He says he's running low on money and he's tired of traveling. Well, what do you expect? Traveling is hard, especially for months at a time. He's been gone for a month. I missed him, I've just been saying that in surveys. But I also was glad to have the freedom to have my space. It's not that Loren invades my space by any means. It's more that, having him here, such a good buddy, I can't help but spend time with him every night. Like there's no reason not to. It's just something we do, chill together. :p So it's like, I can't think of a good reason to spend time alone when he's here. But I need to spend time alone, especially when I write my book. I don't want him to go back to Utah and I especially want to go hiking with him. I can take him everywhere. :)

I also have been using his laptop for my book! I mean, my dad has a laptop and my mom has a laptop. I won't necessarily be without. But it was nice to have a laptop that I could keep in my room with the UBS disk, always at the ready, and I could take it outside and I didn't need to worry about using it when they weren't or finding it around the house. It was there, at the ready, for whenever I felt I needed to write. I can use my mom's but it is huge and the battery sucks, I think because it's so huge, so I need to worry about cords more than with my brother's. And I can use my dad's but then I have to convert all the files over to Pages, because his is a mac. And that takes time, time that I shouldn't have to waste when inspiration strikes. I had settled into how things were with my brother's laptop. I wasn't even writing on my own computer, even when I was in my room. Because then I would ultimately have to transfer it over to his laptop the next day when I wanted to write outside. So now I have to start writing on my computer and doing all the USB transferring to other people's laptops. Ugh.

Damn.

But I'll be happy to have him here and I hope he stays for the summer.
