(no subject)
I certainly hope everyone had a great Christmas and is having a great Hannukah and Kwanzaa and whatever other holidays might be going on. Mine was pretty good, I suppose. Still no snow, although we might get some this weekend. And I hear that Sunrise's artificial snow is pretty good, so cool shit.
My dad and I went to a restaurant/bar last night and he retaught me how to play pool. That was fun. Then we watched a DVD on his computer, since we have no TV in the cabin. Today we went bowling and while we were waiting for a lane, we played another game of pool. And... I won! Made me happy.
My eldest maternal aunt announced awhile ago that they wouldn't be able to make it down for my graduation, but would certainly come for my graduation party, ignoring the small fact that we had not mentioned a graduation party. In fact, we hadn't even thought of it. So now apparently I have to decide what we are going to do for a party I don't necessarily want to have. Ah well, I suppose it is nice that my relatives are thinking about me, but I still feel pushed into it.
My mother told me a year ago that she was starting to think about (and plan) a graduation trip somewhere overseas. A year later, and nothing more has come of it other than talk. And the sucky thing is, I know that we can't really afford something like bicycling through Europe (or even traveling there in the first place). I was also unwise enough to tell my mom we couldn't afford it, so now I think she is going to try and convince me we can, in one way or another. And furthermore, I know that I really want to study abroad a few times in college, so I don't feel all that drawn to going to Europe this summer. And the truth of the matter is that if she means to give me a present, I would rather have a (another) horse or a (another) bike.
I suppose this is all very elitist complaining, but then everyone has their moments, yes?
