Recently I've not updated lj at all. So i thought i'd take the opportunity to do so. I've not been near my own computer for a while and i missed it.

My grandparents have been over for the last few days. I love having my grandparents over because i like having them around and so on, but it scares me. I feel like i'm not enjoying them enough, oyu know? like i'll get older and go "oh, man, i never appreciated them fully when they were atround, i wish i had told them i loved them more often, or gotten to know them better, or something. And i hate seing my nana so scared, and looking so lost sometimes. I was sitting next to her in the car on the way to christmas dinner and i had the salad dressing and the strawberry tomatoes on my lap and so she took the tomatoes form me, but then every few minutes she'd go "what's this on my lap?" or "i hope i'm not squeezing wqhatever this is too hard" or (reading the label "strawbetrry tomatoes.... i wonder if it really is them or jsut the box? No, i think it is tomatoes..." And she said each of those two or three times, or more, literally. And i jsut kept going "oh, they're the tomatoes. Would you like me to take them" and she said "oh no dear, thats all right" And i felt like crying but i didn't. I love my grandparents so much, and i can't even imagine what it would be like without them, without the lake, without jsut knowing they're there, even if they don't really live close by.

I havnet done much studying over the last few days. Im glad we havnet had ti to really do any science, even though i know i really should. But i hate it. On the bright side, i've finished my english homework. She says she would "prefer" that we didn't read past chapter 15, but that's jsut too bad. I know hwat happens anyway, or at least the gist of it. And i happen to like hte book, and i don't really feel like waiting that long before i get to read more.

Speaking of books, i bought two new ones today. BOth that i've already read, but i wanted to have them. I bought the yar of secret assignments, becasue i really love that book and feeling sorry for celia is one of my favorite books in my shelf and i thought the yyear of secret assingments would be read jsut as often. I also bought the golden compass, becasue i absoloutely adore that trilogy and i thought not having the first but having the second two was stupid, plus i wanted to re-read it. Htey didnt have the copy i wanted though. I was oging to get the ones with the different covers, they're kind of earthy tones i guess, with the bumped-out title just becasue i felt liek having all of them not match, jsut becaseu the second two don't anyway, so it was like a sa ple from each, i guess. But they didnt have it so i jsut took the one with lyra on iorek with pan as a mouse.

I also got a pair of pants an a nice button up shirt. the pants are grey and were 50% off, sand the shirt is kind of blousey, green dtripey wiht little blue flowers and 75% off. 40$ shirt for 10$ and i really really like it and it fits me well. I guess the whole point of a bargan is so nobody knows, but who cares, really. I like getting cheap closthes. (P.S they're both from jacob connexion and i did a crap job of describing them. Ah well.)

Anywayds, i hope you guys are all ahving a good holiday and so on, haven't seen much of you gyus recently.

(P)P.S If you want a really good drink at starbucks for less than four bucks (around two or three dollars, i'm not really sure i bout it with a gift card and got kelsey something too) Try: a tea misto - chai tea and vanilla, earl grey tea and vanilla, or maybe chai tea and gingerbread. I only tried chai and vanilla today, the rest were reccomendations from my cousin who works there. Oh, and ask for easy water, and foam, if you want foam. They're good.
