A Merry Christmas

Dec 10, 2004 11:27

Christmas isn't even real right now. Things sad have happened, and school is wearing me down. I lost a friend last Friday, and went home for his memorial service. It's something that will never make sense. And even though I have baptist friends, I must say that I never did expect an "altar call" at a funeral service. So much has happened this semester, and most of it has worn me down to where I just want to sleep. And I don't like that- I don't like to be like that either. I think I'm ready for some changes.

I missed the one day of class in the entire year that I needed to be there the most. "If you're not here at eight o'clock on Friday, you're getting a B on your exam." Our final? A shadow puppet performance of the spanish tale "la camisa de Margarita Pareja." One of the more interesting finals I've taken, to say the least. I half-wish it were just a written exam, but I think it should be easier. I've missed so many classes. I was up late writing my philosophy paper... and I managed to hit snooze over the course of two hours not knowing. I am like... devastated, because now I'm just angry at myself for oversleeping, and that's not enough so I have an exam grade of a B. Congratulations and Merry Christmas to me. I'm so furious.

I just opened a website and it said Christmas 12 days away. And that made me so sad, because I haven't even thought about Christmas. I haven't bought half the gifts I need to. I haven't been listening to fun Christmas music that I love. I'm tired.

Things will be better, though. I know this. I'm just sad, because the magic of everything in life seems to fade as you get older, and I'm just afraid that in a few years, nothing will be a special experience. There will be no novelties... and there will be nothing... warm and comforting that embraces me [like Christmas used to] except for liquor. I think I'll take pre-emptive steps and join AA now? Anyone with me? (I'm kidding, unless you want to.... might be fun)

I love you all, and please take care of yourselves. Please be careful, and drive safely home. I love you.

You Are a Dreaming Soul



Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you awy from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?
