Merry Christmas
after much toil and strife, xmas is finally here. and all i can think of is of how much has changed. it especially hit me when i went to my staff party last monday. i mean a year ago, kitty was with me and i was comforting rocky as i questioned my friendship with mandy. i remember kittie bought me my first tales game and jeanne d'arc for my new psp. i'm pretty sure that was the year i had no license... so we were drinking and shennanigans. i miss having kittie live close, but i suppose as long as she's happy, that's what's important. more importantly she's away from certain other individuals i do not trust.
but that's all past. in the here and now all i can do is sit back and watch. it's odd having kayden and bella here for the holidays. i mean my family hasn't spent an xmas here in several years. usually we go to nikki's but since the fire and the sepparation we can't obviously. shopping was a hassle, as it always is. i hate doing it every year :C but whatever, i'm pretty confident most of the presents i got people will be liked.
the austin's xmas party was held at some buffet this year instead of just at the restaurant. i'm not sure what changed with that, but then again i don't really care. i got all i could eat crabs legs out of it. micheal and evelyn gave us each a gift card to old navy/gap/banana republic worth $100. i was hoping i could get some of those knit adora boots. i don't really shop at any of those stores, but free's free i guess. despite that i found some things when julia, stacey and i wetn to the mall after dinner. all the rest of the crew decided to go bowling or something. i'm not sure if i could stand that. i'm not really friends with jeff and mandy, and their complexes annoy me now. luckily the girls i was giving the ride to didn't really feel up to bowling either. but shopping was a-okay! so i got a sweater, a cover-up and a tank top. though unfortunately they didn't have the boots i wanted. after that i came home and my dad suggested maybe heading to see avatar. we had tried on sunday and tickets were sold out. so i agreed and we raced down. dad got pulled over but the cop was feeling the xmas spirit i guess and let him off with a warning. we made it and saw the movie. unfortunatly it wasn't in 3D. but kayden wants to see it too, so i might take him to the colossus imax 3D on saturday. it was really good. easily a new favorite of mine... as i assumed i liked the blue people. they were badass.
that's it for now i guess. uncle tim stopped by and we all got to open our presents from him. he bought me oui by lacome, since my regular perfume, betsy johnson is discontinued. it smells really nice, apparently the lady said it was similar. i think the effort he put in was sweet. xmas day is probably going to be spent at marcy's, nikki and i are both not looking forward to it. but it's dad's family, so it's for him mainly. besides we can entertain each other.
