i didn't really have the time or patience to write about this last night. i don't now, either, but i'm going to try anyway.
yesterday before work my dad was going through a bunch of old family movies. he's going to put them onto disks so they won't die or something. anyway i took one upstairs and was watching it for about an hour. and it's really interesting to see how my family used to be, considering i don't remember much from that time. the videos were from when i was about 4. scott was 9, brent was 6. and it was insane. in one, my brothers and i are making the weirdest faces at the camera possible. then scott runs upstairs to get a nerf gun, brent tries killing me with a plastic sword, and i'm just spinning in circles in the middle of the floor completely oblivious. in another, my brothers are bugging my mom about having some gum, so scott goes off to find some. he climbs on top of the fridge (i'm standing on the desk next to him) and brent's wandering around kind of dazed talking about laundry. scott finds candy from two years ago and is like, "it's well preserved!". oh, and in both of these, the zelda theme song is playing constantly because my mom loved zelda (still does) and was just ignoring us while she played the game. it's absolutely hilarious if you actually watch it. it's like... huh... so that's what it was like. my poor parents. oh, and in another, we're all at the pool for swimming lessons. the camera follows brent as he climbs out of the pool, gets his towel and goggles, starts walking back, falls flat on his face, gets back up and keeps walking.
