WHAT THE HECK, DUDE
I've realized it's kind of a terrible idea for me to update this when I'm in a bad mood. Case in point, I've rewritten the first paragraph of this journal about ten times and every time I do I get angrier at myself for being so fucking ridiculous. But whatever, I'm not rewriting it anymore and what I wrote before isn't important anyway cause it's stupid and unnecessary.
DEEP BREATHS.
ANYWAY. I suppose I should say something about Christmas and what I've been doing with my life and all that. Not much of it is exciting, and I can't remember half of what I've spent hours doing, but whatever.
So far this break, I've done a fair amount of reading (FOUR VOLUMES OF FABLES YAY), watched a ton of tv/anime (actually, not even that much, it just seems like a lot. I watched most of the first season of Monk, most of the first season (new version) of Doctor Who, and I also watched Jellyfish Princess which was only 11 episodes and should be longer.), spent a lot of time driving, went on a few adventures (another one of those times when my friends were like, "and this is why every time you get in a car with Kathy driving you have to be prepared for anything!"), and basically hung around accomplishing nothing. Although I DID start my Dokapon costume. And I plan on working on that more tomorrow.
But DOCTOR WHO. I was chilling at the 24's house, playing multiple kinds of games that involve shooting zombies (in one of them I was this Russian dude, and he kept saying the most HILARIOUS things. It was great.) and then we decided it was time to watch random things on Netflix. Then somehow we came across the first season of Doctor Who. I said something along the lines of "Oh hey, I have a bunch of people who want me to watch this." To which 24 said something like, "I've heard it's excellent. Should we watch it?" So we ended up watching Doctor Who.
AND IT WAS FANTASTIC. A few days later, we rounded up Nell-zor and Amy and sat down and watched SEVEN HOURS of the first season straight. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL USE OF TIME. Sometime in the near future we're having another marathon of the last bit, and then the second season. It will be awesome.
So Christmas. I got a bunch of cool stuff, like the boxed set of extended platinum edition dvds of THE LORD OF THE RINGS (which we watched all day, starting from like 7 in the morning til like 9 that night), both Chronicles of Narnia movies, and the boxed set of the Scott Pilgrim books. And you know those towels they make for little kids that look like monsters and have hoods and hands? GUESS WHAT. My sister MADE me one of those, but it's totally BATMAN. YEA-AHHHHHH~ :D
And I got a bunch of other things, but those were the most exciting.
But in between Christmas and New Years, Irene persuaded me to have another sewing party. So my house was full of sewing machines and girls running around with fabric, chalk, and various forms of measurement. Like the last time I did one of these, I was the first one on my machine, but got the least done. XD That may, however, have to do with the fact that I was making cookies as well (cause you know, KC had to be entertained cause she wasn't sewing anything. And of course I burned the pecans so the cookies tasted all burnt even though they themselves were fine. D: ) And it also may have to do with the fact that my bobbin kept freaking out, so after a while I just got annoyed and stopped sewing. Although that was right after I had finally fixed it, so I don't know why exactly I did that.
Somewhere in the middle we started comparing our costume creations to essays. I don't know why.
And then there was discussion of the color drama. Don't even get me started. Basic idea, people were apparently taking other people's colors, and certain people got upset, and then bad things were said, and I don't understand why it's such a problem. I would totally have given up my color (cause apparently I was part of the problem) but I had already bought fabric and I don't see what the big deal is, but there were more problems and they were all stupid. BAH.
So I at least got a start on my Dokapon costume. I'm probably going to work on that a bit more tomorrow, and hopefully get more done than just gathering a piece of fabric. As for Baka to Test, nothing for that is done. XD Although I did look at jackets online today and also found the pants I'm getting (they're white so I can dye them more accurately than finding the right blue), and the rest shouldn't be that hard. I'm going on an adventure sometime in the near future to the multitude of second-hand stores around here so hopefully I'll find some other things I need for cheap rather than having to buy them online.
And then New Years happened, and there was a customary gathering of excitingness at Kat's, full of much food and ridiculous games and all that (and also her brother going "Hey Kathryn? I wasn't here, ok? And I didn't touch this rum. Not at all."). It was during this time that we played twister with whatever was available (my chest happened to be the most popular destination for anyone looking for anything yellow. Although that was really mostly just Irene and Eva...), it was discovered that I say "women" and "woman" the same way (to the endless amusement of Nelly), Colin didn't bring pork chops like he promised, and werewolves were constantly on the prowl.
And then the next day my house was full of people I don't care to talk to. And too much food. And it was boring and long.
So that was a lot of the important stuff that's happened in the past week or so. Other things happened (LIKE TRON :D and various food excursions and hanging out at the mall and staying up ridiculously late watching movies, and driving home with three inches of snow on the road (WHICH WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF AWESOME), and being declared Irene's present and therefore her property), but hey, I can't write about stuff for forever. I've already made you read a ton.
But before I close, I have one more thing I want to say. I suggest you sit down or something, cause this is kind of important (God, my heart is pounding all over the place...). In honor of the start of a new year, I have a confession: I'm totally not as straight as everyone thinks I am (OK, GO BACK AND READ IT AGAIN. ...Good? Accepting it? Moving on). I've not been hiding it or anything, but I tend to not correct people's assumptions and no one's asked straight-out, so no one really knows. And it's not like I've known this for forever or something, it's just something that occurred to me over the summer. And I don't know what the hell I am, but I know it's not straight. It's not something I've been particularly dwelling on. So there's that, and it's made life a bit more complicated, but I'm dealing with it. Ok, good, excellent. I'm glad that's over.
Anyway.
So.
Happy New Year to all of you, and I hope that the rest of your break is fantastic and full of fun things to occupy your time (LIKE MORE DOCTOR WHO FOR ME YAYYY). I personally am hoping for more snow, and (kind of really) looking forward to being back at school, cause being at home tends to piss me off (my friends are awesome and I love hanging out with them, it's literally my house that annoys me. And my car that's deciding to freak out and kill its battery for no reason. That's just fantastic).
BUT ANYWAY. It's a new year, and hopefully it will be awesome and full of all kinds of beautiful things.
ALSO, ONE MONTH LEFT FOR ME TO BE A RECKLESS TEEN.
DEEP BREATHS.
