Christmas hiatus:P
I've been kind of M.I.A. these past few days, but that doesn't mean I didn't feel like writing. Ironically, now that I'm back home and far away from family drama (or simply drama, as it seems the upcoming end of the year affects most people-including me- in a negative way. I- as always- blame it on my upcoming period^^') have the feeling that if I were to write everything that happened to me and I consider wroth-telling, the entry would be just too lengthy and overwhelming:P
All in all, Christmas Eve at my paternal granny's was good, despite the fact that my Dad and one of my uncles are angry at each other and currently not speaking (family drama nº1). Eat tray food + turkey! + mashed apples + potatoes + ice cream. Yummy yummy for my tummy (which obviously suffered the consequence of such copious ingest of food, lol)! Spent Christmas there too until 3:30 PM, went back to my Dad's to open the presents and finally headed to Buenos Aires, were I took another bus to get to Sebastian's, where I got at 8 PM and spent what was left of Christmas (yup, you could say I spent most of the day travelling^^'). I had to stay over at his house because my Mom was still in her hometown with her parents (a.k.a. my grandparents:P) and decided to lock myself out of our house (family drama nº2), but I can't complain about that^^. Watched Les parapluies de Cherbourg, a very old French musical with a very young Catherine Deneuve, which was quirky, naïve and fun. The following day we went together to my Mom's, watched Silk (what a lousy movie!), went out just to satisfy our sweet tooth with some cake at a cafe and crowned the day with a pizza delivery in the evening. That same day I started drama nº3 by being a total bitch with Sebastian...The reason? Found out Dream Theater is playing in Buenos Aires on March 13th, the day of my birthday, which means Sebastian won't be at my birthday party. I made a fuss because even though they are his favourite band, he has already seen 'em (and it's the third time they would be coming here, so nothing says there won't be a forth) and I (wrongly) assumed he wouldn't choose the concert over me. I took it very personally too because I've been in his position before with a guy I used to date, long time ago, and I chose him over The White Stripes, and never regretted my decision, and of course I've always thought it was the right thing to do, so facing a different answer shook me, perhaps a bit too much^^'. In the end I felt guilty and slightly embarrassed, so I asked him to forgive me and now we're okey:) I was also feeling frustrated because of family drama nº1 and 2, and on top of that, I found out that the book I got him as a Christmas present (Enduring Love, by Ian McEwan) has a movie adaptation which he has already seen, so the plot isn't gonna be surprising for him (fortunately I read on IMDb that the adaptation is crappy...has anyone seen the film/read the book, btw?) and in that moment I felt the present itself had lost the magic...so I guess my overreaction is somehow understandable, isn't it?^^'
And what about my Xmas presents? I received a beach towel and handbag from my Dad, 2 "envelopes" (which is our family way of saying cash:P) from one of my uncles and my granny, a pair of flip-flops (yup, I'm giving 'em a second chancexD) from my Mom, a 2010 schedule from my maternal grandparents, and a book on Chagall from Sebastian (which btw has the image I have as an icon on its cover...mere coincidence??Don't think so^^)
I would tell you a bit more about yesterday and family drama nº4 (or nº3, as what happened with Sebastian wouldn't enter the family category), but it must be exhausting to read my bitching, so Iong story short, my brother crossed the line insulting me with a very strong adjective in front of my Mom and Vincenzo, so now my computer (which I used to lend him since his is full of viruses and out of order) has a password. On a happier note, I decided to return to my Dad's to spend a lovely afternoon by the pool, and went jogging afterwards, so even if today rained, I'm feeling great^___^
