It's Colin's birthday today. My brother's 24, eek. And to think I still remember times when we were just little brats running around the house, playing with Lego, Transformers and stuff. Yes, I played with Transformers and Silverhawks when I was a child :P We used to fight a lot...nowadays we don't even talk. Not that much anyway. I remember thinking how his friends treated me better than he did, and used to wish I had a nicer brother. In retrospect, my brother was a better friend than he was a sibling. I think I was jealous that he loved his friends more than family, but in his place... I don't know. It was always a toss-up between the sweet gestures vs his thoughtlessness. Then again... *shakes head* It's hard to say. I love him lots all the same. So yeah, Happy 24th Birthday kor :)
Called home today and spoke for over an hour with my parents. It's reached that time of the year again when I want to drop everything and just go back. Dad's doing alright, and as long as mom doesn't carry anything heavy, she's recovering fine. Audrey hates her job, but is sticking with it at the moment anyway. Colin wasn't in, so I didn't get to wish him a happy birthday, although daddy did tell me that Colin predicted that I would call, come hell or high water, lol. It's nice to know that he has so much faith in me :) But yeah, mom had sent him off to see a healer/ witch doctor for palm reading. Da da dum. Old Chinese traditions, heh. *shrug*
I've been looking for a pair of shoes online; will probably go downtown on Friday to get me a pair of Skechers, as my Timberlands are all ripped up. Considering I wore them every day for almost two years, I figure it's about time I changed them anyway.

This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a US Naval ship and the Canadians, off the coast of Newfoundland in Dense fog, Oct 95. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid a collision.
Americans:Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North, to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians: Negative. I say again, You will have to divert your course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call.
