Bored out of my mind (or maybe just out of my mind)

Setting11:30 PM, the Hardy house. Our hero, Ellis, is cold. This is supported by his wardrobe- khaki pants, shirt, and black leather jacket. Feet propped up on the desk, keyboard in lap, he looks relaxed despite the chill. In front of him, on his computer monitor, is the LiveJournal client he is using for the first time. He flexes his cold, stiff fingers, and begins to typeI think this is a first for me, an update that didn't take me a year to get around to. Not much going on tonight. My family got back from their vacation tonight, so my week home alone is over. The bright side is my brother will be back at work Monday morning to replace his idiot jackass moron backup, who barely escaped the week without being strangled.So anyway, my family go back tonight, and my grandparents got back from China last week, so we all went to their house for dinner and the usual vacation gift exchange. I ended the night with two new shirts, a much needed watch cap, and a monkey that goes "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAH AAH AAH!" when you squeeze him, just like all monkeys should do.Then I went to see The Ring again. It was just like I remembered it- creepy, disturbing, and awesome. Only this time, I had my cousins with me so I could screw with their heads at appropriate times. :-)On the hair front, I've decided to bow to the wishes of my mother, who threatened to disown me if I went to Germany for Christmas with purple hair. After that, though, anything is fair game. At least this way I'll have a chance to pick out the perfect haircut and all. I might go ahead and bleach before then, though, just to do something different.
