Sorry I haven't updated. It's been a long time. I've been busy with work and school and whatnot. Things seem to be going well in almost every aspect of my life. I'm doing well in school, I'm very happy with Jenny. I really care about her a lot, and I'm just happy that I can be there for her. She's gone through some tough times and seemingly trying to test me and how much I care about her. She claims that it's her attempt to see if I'll run away or not, and so far I haven't. I am just glad that I can keep her happy and actually get along with her family. It's the best of both worlds.
Christmas break so far has been rather uneventful. I have worked and sat around for most of it. The only times I've really gotten out were on the 23rd to exchange presents with friends. After work with Ashley, we went out and played pool, and she wasn't feeling good that night. Turns out that she had the same stomach flu that I had a couple of days ago. She ended up being admitted to the hospital on Christmas Eve. What a way to spend that. I'm just happy that she's all right. I went with Jenny with her family to her grandparents' house (her dad's side). I met her cousins on that side of the family, and it turns out that they used to live really close to me. What a small world...I went out on Christmas Night and met up with Kara, Tarah, Lil People, Heather, and Heather's b/f Steven at Thunder Bowl and then to Denny's in Orland (the Mokena one was closed). The final time I have gotten out all break was tonight with Kara, Tarah, and Lil People. Heather met up with us later.
Now...on to Christmas...
This year, Christmas was all right this year. I really didn't want all that much this year, and I got almost everything that I wanted. At least most of the stuff that I wanted I already got or is on order. I got a bunch of gift cards from Best Buy from people. I got a $100 gift certificate from Amazon.com from my grandparents, a new wallet with a $50 bill from my Aunt Amy and Uncle Marshall, a $50 bill from my Aunt Gail, a CD rack that has this water-filled tube that has marbles in it and a multi-colored light bulb. It's highly amusing. I am currently waiting for my new Newcastle United jersey to come in from England. It's a long-sleeved jersey with Alan Shearer's name and number on it (9). It's taking forever and we're getting raped up the ass on international shipping charges. Grrr...It was all in all a good year.
Lately, I've been feeling kinda lonely. It happens in the wintertime. I just don't get out much, and I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick on a lot of things in this house. I can rarely get the car b/c of other things going on (picking up mom from the train, Angie's soccer/basketball games, etc), and I am the one getting the short end of the stick. This results to me not getting out much. I hate it. I also have been feeling kinda neglected by a lot of old friends. The only times that I see people like Kara and Tarah are at work. I try to get something together and see them more often, but I rarely get my calls returned...grrr...
It seems that my whole group of old friends are getting a little tense with each other because of a lack of communication amongst all of us. I heard about this from Kara. They all were at Denny's till 3am discussing it, and it sounds like Heather ended up bitching out some people (no big surprise to me there...she's known to do that once or twice a year). I wish that people would either keep me involved with this stuff or to keep me informed at least. =( Well, it's 4:20am, and it's time for bed and not pot. Talk to everyone later.
Much love,
Adam
