*cough hack wheeze!* Ugh
Going out to last week's field op didn't improve my sick condition.
It was pretty frickin cold out in dem woods and all.
I've spent this weekend drinking lots of hot green tea with lemon and crashing over at friend's houses out in town.
I get all congested in these barracks.
You can see heat coming out of our rooms it's ridiculous.
I've put a towel up in the shaft to block the airflow but for some reason it doesn't do much good.
I spent the night at Rob and Steph's house which helped out a lot.
It's nice waking up and not being all hot sweaty and you're able to breathe through your nose.
Anyways I like to take turns at Rob/Steph's, and at Bob/Kim's, and they never seem to be bothered by my company and always welcome me in.
It's good getting out of those barracks other than the heat as well.
It's like I'm almost at home when I'm away from there.
I stick it out at the barracks to save money and all and that's about the only reason I'm there.
I got hooked onto Guitar Hero II on the PS2 at Rob and Steph's.
That game is so addictive... it makes your eyes water after a while trying to catch all those notes on your guitar.
They had songs ranging from Free Bird, Killing in The Name Of, Heart Shaped Box, Sweet Child of Mine etc
Eventually you start seeing those notes come at you while you're laying in bed trying to sleep (you were right about that Steph!).
Starting Thursday I get my Christmas break from the 21st through the 3rd (I'll be home on my birthday on the 2nd).
Obviously I can't wait for that to get here
Barbara wants me to head out to Texas for 3 days starting on the 27th-30th.
The flight's are expensive around the holidays obviously and I'm wondering if i even can spare that kind of money.
Since her and I have been together I've seen her a total of 3 days... 3 days out of 3 months.
It kinda feels sometimes that I have to remind myself I have a girlfriend we've been seperated so long.
The phone frustrates me, and a flaw of mine is I can't write a lil myspace letter every single day to one person.
She can do it flawlessly but I can't do this long distance thing... I've NEVER been good at it probably cuz I despise it so much.
I think I've been a good boyfriend when I'm actually in town, but when I'm away I don't cope with it that well.
Being forced to rely and stay in contact other than face to face meetings blows... you just desire more.
Anyways...
There's still Christmas gift buying to do and I still have a good number of friends that I need to check off.
I got Brad a nice jacket, and Dylan a watch, but that's about it.
I usually get Jess something from Hot Topic but that gal's probably bought half of that store and I don't want to get her something she already has.
I'm usually bad with gifts but I have new hope with the presents I've already gotten for two of my best buds.
I'll be that shopper on the 24th still looking for stuff but for some reason I love fighting the crowds and I usually feed off their ideas when it comes to getting somethin
Sounds corny and all but I think a lot of pple worry so much about gifts that they forget the big picture is having everyone together(friends, family, bf/gf).
