What is your "role" in your family?

I'm their photographer and on-call computer geek.

    Well, I made it through my first week back at college after Spring Break. Didn't do too well or study too hard, but I made it through. After Speech class, I listened to Caleb, Hannah and Julie practice their music for CSM, had a short conversation with Sierra (I saw a commercial with a girl in it that looks just like her, I must post it soon), talked to Laura-Rose on the phone and called Erica to see if she wanted to go on a photo shoot but didn't get an answer.

    I was walking back to my truck, going across the campus lawn, and the grass looked inviting, so I sat down and drew in my sketchbook for about half an hour. I also did some generous wiggling of my toes in the cool grass. I stopped at the Hurst library on the way home and checked out 3 CDs (2 White Stripes, 1 Modest Mouse) and Robot Building for Dummies.
    On the drive home, I dreamed up a ton of robots I wanted to build someday. Some of them are probably not possible or if they were, would take the income of Bill Gates to build, but I can daydream. I have a fascination and simultaneous fear of robots. I like machines and often even think of them as "cute," yet I also have a very real fear of them someday realizing they could use their advantages over the feeble human race to enslave us and make us into their slaves.
    It sounds crazy, but that's how fears often are. In fact, that's one reason I am always kind to electronics. ;-D Perhaps they'll spare me when their day of reckoning comes.
    Now that I've made myself sound like a total nut, I'll bring this entry to a close.
