It's been awhile.....
So yes, it has been awhile since I really updated this thing. I remember when I first got a livejournal, I would update it everyday with every single miniscule detail of my so-called "interesting" life. Lately though, I haven't done anything that I feel interesting to put in here. Scratch that. Not that I haven't done anything interesting, it's just I think my life is occupied by so many other things that I can't really find the time to write in here. Yeah that came out wrong....but hopefully you know what I mean.
Today, all day, I felt really emotional for some reason. On the ride up to my Aunt's house, my mom put a tape on that we would all sing along to on Thanksgiving to start the Christmas season. It's a stupid tape (Mariah Carey's Christmas CD), but it made me so nostalgic thinking back when I was little, singing in the car without a care. Not only did I feel nostalgic, but OLD! So old! I was thinking back to the days when 40 of my family members would pack into my Nana and Pop-pop's tiny row home. I remember being so happy that I was with my family and I was eating food that was excellent(not that my Aunt Mame's cooking is bad-it's awesome!). Sitting in the kitchen with all my cousins and how it was never silent because some little brat was always saying something smart. Today, it was me, my Mom, my Aunt Mame, Kevin, my Uncle Brian, Sara, Brian, Sean, Pat and Seamus. Still 10 people, but it definitely was nothing compared to when we were all little. The table was relatively silent tonight at dinner, and it made me sad. Sad to think that my family is growing apart, but shit happens-what else can you do? On a happier note, I saw my girlfriend Bridie today! She was so cute spinning around in her dress. She was running around the house yelling "come here kids!" Also, the food was excellent. Waaay better than that cafeteria bullshit. So Happy Thanksgiving to everyone today. Hope it was good for ya'll.
