2005 feels strangely like 2004
Christmas was ok I suppose. I enjoyed seeing my family and spending time with them since I don't really get to anymore. I wasn't expecting much of this christmas because everyones broke and trying to make do with their lives as they could. It was nice, nothing spectacular but not completely shitty. Mostly I got stuff I needed and money to get stuff I needed.. only a few things here and there that I just wanted.
I had went home on the 23rd of Dec because mom asked me to come home a little earlier. I spent lots of quality time with mom and Jeri those few days. Although I was stuck going to do the Christmas thing with my dad on x-mas eve. For the most part I knew everything I was getting so it was ok. My little bit of christmas joy was burst almost immediately when I arrived though. In so many unkind words my father told me I was getting fat. haha like you can talk fatty, have you looked in the mirror lately?? But as usual I sucked it up and pretended not to care and went about the evening. He's such an ass.
Christmas Eve I did the traditional thing in our house. All the kids stay up together and watch movies, etc then get up early to go pester mom to open presents. Although, since Jeff is in Boston and Melissa is married I decided to be exceptionally nice and come home that night so Jeri wasn't all alone...(except like I mentioned before mom asked me to come home even earlier). So it was nice to bond w/the Jer-bear..even if we ended up not staying up very late.
New Years
New Years eve was planned to be just a night of steve and I hanging out over here doing the usual except we invited Jeri. I knew there was no way she'd be allowed out to do anything so we invited her over. Steve's parents had some friends over and got completely trashed and had all kinds of food.
At the last minute I decided to just call all my friends and see what they were up to, to at least attempt to hang out with them. I knew though that no one would want to because it was late notice. And because in the one group the rule w/partying is usually that where-ever we party we stay there to sleep. And that was definately not happening..no places for anyone and I wasn't about to go down that road again and get chewed out. So anyway, called up Lillie, she could get a babysitter but had no ride. Called Rachel but Rachel was having a big family NYE party at her house so that was a no for those two. Called Gilly, ended up that apparently there was a party at Marty's(???) so all that crew was out. Steve refuses to drive on NYE and so do I, not to mention that we were broke (besides the toll money for taking Jeri home the following day). And not to mention we'd both already started drinking before then. I know that Steve wouldn't have went for it anyway he hates staying over places he doesn't know. And driving home drunk is a definate no. It was just kind of sucky because I figured nothing was happening because no one had said anything. I was told if there were plans i'd be notified..but oh well, stuff happens.
We called some more people and it didn't work out(...no use in putting what everyones excuse was). Though, Tim had to go to a party a few streets away and said he was going to stop by at some point. Hahaha he ended up coming over early and staying ALLLLLLLLLLLL night. His party was a bust, a ton of high school kids that thought they were thugs, just not his style. It was alright though. We played some video games, watched some movies, hung out with Todd and Leslie, tried to cheer up Jess because her lame-o boyfriend dumped her, watched as mrs. sharon and the others became more and more intoxicated and more and more hilarious. Overall it was a decent night, turned out to be a lot better than I had expected. Especially since I had been made to feel guilty earlier that evening, but it was beyond my control so f'it.
I've been driving a lot lately. We went out the other day and vaccuumed my car and then washed it, so now it's a little less cool because it lost the o-so-cool and unique leaf designs all over it. (No one will be as sad by the loss as myself, Jeri and Steve) but oh well my car needed it. Oh, and I did my last two hours for drivers ed and have my certificate now. Got my appointment for the test schedule for later this month, we'll see how that goes.
Things have been shitty but i'm making the most of them. I've been sick for almost 2 weeks now. Seems like everyone's getting sick..why can't people cover their mouths? and use tissues, and wash their damn hands? O well, at least the nausea is gone (...until I try to eat again). But I have medicine so hopefully it'll go away soooooooooon. I suppose that's what I get for trying to save money by not going to the doctor. haha my voice was coming and going so I sounded like complete ass. Ah, fun stuff.
My life is getting weird... I was scoping out the sale on toilet paper today. toilet paper!?! growing up is weird..
