I just spent a half hour writing this huge journal entry and it just got deleted. i want to scream. So i am not going to write in as much detail as the last one, because i don't have the patience, but i'll see what i can do.
So i've found that school takes away my life. I have not seen any of my friends from around here for over two months. November was spent with leaders (no complaints) And December was school.(ick) It just doesn't seem right to not see people who live less than 10 minutes away.
Thursday night was supposed to be spent with Tony. We had plans to make dinner and watch "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" (yea way old skool and ghetto) For some reason he canceled so i spent the night napping and showering. It was well needed.
Friday was amazing. It was what i really needed. For the longest time it was me and the boys. Me, Cal, Hughes, and Peter. (and on occasion, Chris) So Hughes and peter ended up walking over to cal's and then Chris took the T and walked to cal's, then they all met up here, at my house. We thought of things to do, Cal and i wanted to see Lord of the Rings, but the other three bitched and moaned about prices at the movie (Which i understand, but still- i havent been to the movies forever) After idea got dismissed we decided to rent a movie. For some this may be an easy process, but think again folks, we stood in the kicthen for a half hour talking in detail about every movie brought up. After we had our minds set on Fight Club we decided to disperse. We went to Hollywood video to get a movie. Our minds were quickly changed when they found out i had never seen "The TOXIC AVENGER" So we picked it up and stood around for another half hour or so just talking about it and other movies, like high fidelity. After relizing what we were doing, we decided to check it out and leave, so we stood behind a 40 year old that reeked of weed (that needed to be said, because it was definitly the 40 year old) That movie is one of the best ever! It was a great cheesy 80's horror movie, with amazingly cheap music and wicked rad deaths. As we watched the movie we ate pizza with tobasco sauce (Cal's choice) and had some crazy good truffles and choclates my mom got for christmas. After the movie, it was quite a sight i must say. Me , hughes, chris and peter were squished on the couch under blankets and cal was sprawled out on the chair, and we sat in the dark listening to hilarious south park mp3's and laughing really hard and loud. After everyone got driven home, Erik and Katie were watching Rush Hour 2, so i layed down with katie on the couch and attempted to stay awake. After that failed numerous times i gave up and went to bed.
Saturday was a leisurly morning. Later in the day i went to winthrop. Chris can drive now, which was super exciting ( I made a point to make sure he knew every five minutes that he was ACTUALLY driving, tehehe) So we went to Mike's house and met up with him and Beth. We all went to Nick's Pizza and talked and they ate. The Quarter machine was jammed and i was very disapointed cause it had fun quarter machine prizes. Afterwards, chris drove beth to the T because she had to get home to work, and so Mike and i hung out at his house while they were gone. I saw his new addition on the house and we "talked football" (ok so i still have no idea what is going on, BUT I do know that Troy Brown has totally helped the team and Watch out drew bledsoe! cause you're definitly gonna get traded, cause you brought us down majorly!) So we got to talking about my trip to Buffalo coming up and then Chris came back. We all hung out for a bit and the Chris and i left. We just drove around for a while and caught up. We haven't hung out all that much, and we don't talk on the phone too much because neither of us ever have time. So we talked about lots of stuff, friends..lack of, and where they've all gone to. It was nice, and interesting.
I talked about that stuff with Hughes quick too, we kinda both decided that it's not worth spending time calling people and attempting to make plans when they cancel every time. Or when people say "Call me soon" and you do, and they're never home, and they don't return phone calls. It's come to the point where i know once somthing bad people will come running back, but for now, just lay low. It's not worth all the try. Especially when they live close.
After our talk and stuff we went to his house and listened to some AFI, Bif Naked, and Kaliban. We just sat down and analyzed and talked about it. I miss doing that, i never do it anymore. I also got to play with his little brother Joe, he is awesome!
So after i got home from there i went to visit where my sister was babysitting and stayed and watched a rainbow brite movie and ate some popcorn and wookie cookies (yes they rawk) When i began to get bored i went home and finished watching the Rudolph Movie, curled up on the couch next to the christmas tree. It was very relaxing.
Emily came over today. I'm not going to tell you everything about today because it is WAY secrative, but it never ceases to amaze me we never have nothing to talk about, and even when we aren't talking about anything it is still fun! (WEEEEE)
So tonight is christmas cookie night, it will be lots of fun. My mom and i are waiting for my sister to get home from work so that we can begin. It's always one of my favorite parts of christmas. We get to deliver them to our neighbors and family.
Speaking of FAMILY! Tomorrow night we are going to my dad's side and get to meet new boyfriends, husbands, wives, and kids! IT is always so interesting and very confusing. I choose not to ask and i just go along with it. It's never bad, always so exciting.
I can't believe christmas is here, it really crept up on me this year. Probablly cause i spent so much time NOT looking over thanksgiving and Hanukah (YAY JEWS!) And talking my parents into letting me go to Buffalo. I can not way to go to Buffalo. When i really sit down and think about it all my smile is so big it won't even fit on my face! It's amazing! I am so extatic!!!
I've began to read this book called "On the Road" It is about this guy and his stories of hitch hiking across the US his sophmore year of college in the 50's. There is this really good excerpt i like from it, i will share it with all of you!
"..I shambled after as i've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop.."
Well, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy whatever. There will be lots to write after my adventure to New York. Have an amazing vacation, and i hope you all relize and take advantage of the fact that having a life CAN happen.
Oh yea... one more thing..
