Holy crap it's been forever. Holiday Fever's gone mad. Let's see, it says December 9th was my last post. What's gone on since then. Eck, it's been to olong, I've forgotten most things. That's why I started this journal in the first place, to prevent myself from forgetting entire weeks like I have just done. But I'll tell you what I remember.
Last week I had work off. I took vacation time. And I've sqaundered it. Although some of it wasn't completely my fault. I didn't accomplish what I wanted to though. I did clean the bathroom, so that's good. And played too many video games, which isn't surprising. Last Wednesday Austin took me to a gathering Katy was having. Wait, she prefers to be called Kat these days, but that's not going to happen. Anyway, it was pretty much same old, same old. Drank a litte and played Halo 2 and discussed the good old days, which reall weren't that good to begin with. Well, I suppose it was, for them.
I don't have 'good times', only brief flashes of happiness that disappear too quickly for me to grasp. Trying to catch them is like trying to catch smoke with your hands. But I digess.The fact still remains that when I was brought back to Austin's house, my car refused to start. Well, Mike took me to my apartment and brought me back to my car the next day. How nice of him. But even then my car refused to start, and the battery began to die too.
I had enough, I was sick of my car. Even if I do get it fixed, it'll probably break again sooner rather than later. I just can't rely on it. The old addage of 'it gets me where I need to go' doesn't hold true. So it's time for a new one.
Anyway, Tara was kind enough to come visit me at my parents house, where I was stranded. We exchanged gifts and I went overboard, as usual. I'm just never satisfied with giving just a single good gift. Oh well, hope she enjoys it all. I go Home Movies, which is a curious choice indeed. It's funny enough so I'll enjoy it.
Then I spent the rest of the night playing Mega Man Anniversery Edition on my sister's game cube...more specifically Megaman 1. That game's so simple, yet I still enjoy it. Then it was Christmas morn.
I got clothes mostly. A shelf for my DVDs. A couple video games. Some DVDs and Best Buy gift certificate. Not to mention the controversial gift of leather gloves to me. I did ask for winter gloves and my mother promised she'd get me different ones. We'll see if that happens. I was really counting on those gloves though, I need something for my hands this season!
Then Christmas night my parents spanked the children in Trivial Pursuit and I went to see "The Life Aquatic" with some friends. That was a damn funny movie. Today I was driven home to pick up the van for tomorrow, in which I'll hopefully have a new car. My friends went to Meet the Fockers today too. But I had no way to get there, and didn't feel like asking for a ride. Oh well.
Thought of the Day:
I've been depressed lately. Maybe it's because Christmas is losing it's luster and I'm realizing how old I'm getting and how little I've accomplished with my years. I have a job, and that's about all to speak of. Friends, sure. But no love or any real accomplishments, and I look at how I wasted this week away and, oh well. I don't where I'm going with all this.
