Happy Birthday Mary!

Captain's blog, stardate 3902.6....
Today is my little sister's birthday! So yesterday I took an evening bus back home, got in at like midnight, and fell asleep on the sofa. Then when the dear girl woke up I got to surprise her by being there, and stuck around until I had to catch my bus back to the Massachusetts Institute of Way Too Many Problem Sets (and also Technology I guess). She is pretty darn lucky that her birthday is on a national holiday otherwise I would have had to skip out on my classes.

So yeah, I'm on a bus coming back to school now, and have been for the past 4 hours or so. Should be getting there soon. Anyway, I love you Mary, so I shall dedicate this blog post to you.
---This post is hereby dedicated to Mary for her awesomeness and because it's her birthday---
Is that all I have to do? I'm kinda new at this. Maybe I have to elaborate a little. Mary, I had more fun talking to you today than I've had in a really long time. You've been my best friend for ages. I love how you're almost always willing to talk to me and how you share almost all of my interests. You're probably the only person I know who enjoys making up and singing Star Trek-themed versions of showtunes with me. You're the best first officer I could ever have. Sappiness aside, you're pretty cool, you know?

Anyway I guess I don't really have much else to say. My mom made me some burritos and a quiche to bring back, because she's super nice and knows that I can't cook anything more complicated than Ramen noodles. I probably should dedicate a post to her sometime too. And my dad. Because I didn't make him one on his birthday. Aw, now I feel like a jerk. I love you Dad.
