During the school year, I am always so stressed out, worrying about school, composing like ten songs a week, being boggled down with eight or more classes, not being able to spend time with Rebecca, etc. And then there is that one to two day period after finals where all is better. You know you did well on your finals, got all your shit in, get your grades back and you kept your scholarship...nothing could be better...
And then a week later you are sitting on your ass in front of the computer, PS2, DVD player, etc...playing games that you've beaten hundreds of times, downloading emulators that don't have sound (much to your dismay), watching the same 10 episodes of Queer as Folk over and over again because you are too lazy to go down the street and return them and rent the next ten, and you feel completely lazy, fat and useless T_T lol.
So it all kind of evens out. I always end up fucking up my sleeping schedule, which I hate because I like going to sleep with Rebecca and she needs to go to bed before 2 in order to wake up for work. Maybe I should get a job...or start on my costumes. Or finish songs. Stuff like that T_T
Christmas was pretty nice. We made plans to go to Beck's parents house around 10 and then meet back at my grandmothers' house around 5, but my daddy called and really wanted us to have breakfast with them. So we wake up at like 7, rush over there, are ready to rush off to Beck's parent's house and we find out that my cousin Michelle, who was nine months pregnant with twin boys, lost both of them. My entire extended family was freaking out, and here I was, secretly disappointed that I wouldn't be able to present my grandmother with the song I wrote for her in front of them. It's sad, yes. But you know? Not a single one of them would come rushing to my side to comfort me and Rebecca if I had a baby die...plus, I am hardly close with them, so why let my X-mas be ruined? However, I did gain a newfound respect for my Aunt Jeanne (the one who never learned to read and write and still lives with my grandmother). She asks, after a slight fit of crying, "What do you think of Jackie's boyfriend?" And of course, after Rebecca and I expressed our contempt, she continued to tell us that she and my grandmother thought he was a pig and a sleeze and that my parents shouldn't have ever taken him in or let him get away with anything. I was like "OMG I love you." Finally, Tom isn't idolized! He's a piece of shit.
I did get to give the song to my grandmother and she loved it muchly. XD I put so much effort into it, so I am glad!
Other than that, everything went well. We got lots of nerdy-ass presents which Rebecca so ardently stacked under the tree. Seido has not left the X-mas tree alone and he eats all of Maho's food T_T
I am sorry that I never have anything interesting to say! lol Same old, same old. Read Beck's journal for any slightly juicy tidbits. All I can say is that I am very excited for Katsucon XD
I have to pee, yo. Like seriously.
