Actual post.
Hey everyone. So exams are done, finally, and Christmas is looming...looming is such a omninous word...I usually reserve it for exams. I dont know why I used it. I think it's because today my sisters and I fought the crowds at Vaughn Mills to find final touches for our parents' gifts. I also got an early birthday gift from them, hehe, they got me a couple shirts at H&M that I was eyeing. It's still a little bit to my birthday,(18 days to be exact) and I've got so much planned between now and then that I don't mind waiting. Anyway, we had to fight the crowds today because we realized we'd made our parents stockings last year(like marcy stitched them and everything) and now we have to fill them every year along with whatever we get them. But alas I think that they'll really like our gifts this year. We put a decent amount of work and thought into them. I hope Courtney's gift gets here on time. I ordered part of it off ebay...I finished the transaction on Dec 6 and she recieved the money order in the mail on dec 12...so it'll be cutting it close. If not though, I mean it's no big deal...I just like giving her things...hehe. So tomorrow Regan and I are going out for breakfast to exchange gifts(blech to waking up early), then I have to get ready and go to my aunt debbie's. Speaking of which my uncle bruce called and left a message for me today. Not like, for my mom, or for my family...me....this seems sort of odd since like the only time I talk to him is at holidays. Like my Aunt Debbie is my mom's sister and she calls sometimes for my mom and then she and I talk for a little while and I tell her about school and such. Yet, as long as they've been married(18 years now), my uncle bruce has only ever called my dad. That's usually either to invite him to go to a leafs game with him or to help with electronics stuff, because my dad's a big electronics geek and he's really good with any of that stuff. lol...he's been doing it since he was 10 or so and his grandpa gave him a tv that didnt work and he took the whole thing apart and tried to fix it(and shocked himself because he didnt know how..lol) But I digress, anyway I'm somewhat obsessing over this, because like, I thought it was my friend ben at first, so I thought nothing of it(Ben called at 6:15 and uncle bruce called at 5:15) and Ben showed up on the call display...At first I thought it was a wrong number, like he called the wrong mel, but I mean any listing they own would be under my mom. Only two explanations that are possible are that his family's coming tomorrow too(first combine, but I dont see any reason why he'd call me.) The second reason, a little more plausible, is that, his son Mark, my cousin and I went to the same HS and have 1 or 2 mutual friends...Mark just moved to Nova Scotia to be with his gf...maybe he needed me to get in touch with him and find a number through the grapevine....Both are kinda grasping at straws because in either case I don't see why my Aunt Debbie couldnt ask, or why it couldnt wait until tomorrow when I see him. Iunno....just weird.
So after christmas eve at aunt debbie's, which alon isnt coming to sadly, though he is welcome I don't think driving there and back in christmas eve traffic is a good idea, I think I'm being guilted into going to midnight mass...I hope not though...I'm going though a thinking phase right now. Then again, I dont want to be a hypocrite and only celebrate the commercial side. But I mean, I don't thnk I'm doing that in going to my 3 different family celebrations in 3 days(though one's at home). So after Grandma's on boxing day(Christmas day is spent at home), I think I'll be doing something with Ben, Shannon, Regan, and crew. Ben called me today too while I was out but I didnt know how late I could call. I'll call him when I get back from things with Regan I guess. Then also, I think I have plans with Chad for one day...last time we made plans a couple of weeks ago for a late lunch he waited up for me but I ended up taking too long with my dad and other family stuff. I hope I'll finally see him this time, but the Chad can be elusive..lol
Then the 29th my dad's taking me to Thornhill and Alon and I are going out to a really nice dinner somewhere. I've been looking forward to this for a while. I'll also be in Thornhill till like the 2 or so..so I guess I won't see Marcy for long because she goes back the 2nd....poor Danny and Marcy...and all you Mac people.
Now I'm told it's officially Christmas eve(12:02am...gah, it's taken me forever to write this post while chatting) So I better be off to bed soon if I want any chance of dragging myself out of bed tomorrow.
