The last day of the 90s!

[idiosyncreant]

B-Side: Skipping a bit of poserish “recap” of my life thus far (at 13. Yeah. I started with my parents meeting.) You can glimpse just the very beginning here. The real journalling begins here

Nikki:

12-30

Now I’ll describe the days before the…never mind. I won’t introduce it.

We’ve been trying to sell our house for two months now and no
success. Not even a second glance from anyone who’s come. Maybe I’m
exaggerating a little, but only a little! The time of year’s bad, but
it’s not that bad, really.

[This is probably a recap of my parents’ comments. I still have little knowledge of the realty market.]

Anyway, our life is in upheaval, and it sometimes makes me wonder if
it’s worth it. And why is our lovely little farm not selling?

When the movers actually came (from Yamato transport*, and yes, it’s
Japanese) and we were sent to the P___’s for Friday and Saturday. We
mostly watched movies. Here’s the ones we watched and a basic
description:

1) Robin of Locksley: Devon Sawa^ played a modern Robin Hood stealing
via the internet to help a kid who needs surgery. Very funny and
good.^^

[Cut: the reviews are worthless, the titles are priceless. I’ll recap in 2012 for you who aren’t in the know 2) So Dear to My Heart: animal fable 3) The Parent Trap: Lindsay Lohan version - just out 4) Homeward Bound: Lost in San Franscisco: I can’t even hate these movies now, they make you laugh and that is awesome, and I still like Sassy best 5) Honey We Shrunk Ourselves: now this  the kind of bad that I wish hadn’t stayed with me as a movie I enjoyed.]

Tomorrow is New Year’s eve, and there is a bit of uproar about the
Y2K virus. we are going to visit friends and count down the hours with
balloon popping.

More about that later.

*Yamato is the company with the iconic black cat you’ll see in anime, etc. I have warm fuzzies of ownership about that logo to this day.

^My friend in this family, Miss A., was a Devon Sawa devotee at the time. Leonardo DiCaprio was too mainstream.

^^it wasn’t, but it gave me a serious case of infatuation with Robin Hood stories everafter, so it’s not all bad.
