Merry Christmas/A Long Time Gone
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Wow... another year has come and gone, and soon I will graduate, which is the least of my worries... but nothing about worries, for today is Christmas. Last night I got to spend about 3 hours with my family just talking, eating and exchanging gifts. In the past year I know that a lot of things have changed, and since I'm now working, I'm rarely home because that, along with Brian and school take up all my time. But last night was very nice... we all got along, no fighting, no mean comments, just jokes, stories, chatting, and gifts... and eating. I was increadibly surprised by what I got... but in a good way.
Later on this evening I will get to go over to Brian's and exchange gifts with his family... which is always a major event... not in a bad way... it's going to be a full house over there.... there are usually just the ten of us (his Mom, Dad, brother and sister, Grandparents, Aunt, Uncle, and me) but a few extras are coiming over to make it 15. YAY. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to that. It's always nice to hang out with his family... and sometimes crazy. :)
In all of this Christmas stuff goin on, I got to remembering what it was like in the past couple years around Christmas with friends and such. It seems like just yesterday I was a freshman, over so much in love with band and everything associated with it. I remember hanging out with Sam all the time, playing pool, and spazing out over The Osbournes whenever it would come on. I remember sewing random things such as "the Hemisphere dress" while watching Ferris Beuller's Day Off. So many things I miss... so many things that I don't... I just kinda wish that I could freeze everything and change things to make them like they were... but that isn't possible.
