I never quite know how to start this.
New york was awesome but FREEZING. We ended up seeing doubt which was really good, and we went to MOMA. Now that place was really awesome, i could have stayed there for days. We only really got to see one floor because we were pressed for time but i saw some things that i really liked. Reminded me how much i love art.
I've been doing nothing but christmas shopping and working lately. I'm almost done, i only have a few people left on my really long list of people to shop for. I already know what i'm getting everyone though so i'm not worried about it.
It's really awesome having kitty here, let me say. I might not have all the time in the world to spend with her but she seems to be getting along just fine. She is a cat after all. She cuddles right up next to me like a person and i can put my arm around her and everything. So cute.
Today i finished wrapping presents and made cookies. Christmasy things. I planned on having dinner with my mother but i ended up going to ashleys and getting something with her. I'm glad i did. It's always nice to see old friends. You always know who your best friends are when you can just start talking like nothing has changed. And gabrielle and alana are so cute. I feel like i should spend more time over there so that i become a part (however small) of their lives. Just to have a little kid remember your name is really something sometimes. But we had some good conversations and good food and it was just good. We've always been pretty much on the same page however different our lives may be.
My dad is kinda bothering me. I mean not in the literal sense of the words, but he just seems unhappy. I know there's nothing i can really do about it which bothers me more, but god dammit he's gotta get out of that place that he calls his home. He always seems pretty miserable around the holidays but this year it's worse. I think him and my brother and sister not talking is really taking a toll on him. I wonder if it's really worth it to him to have chosen his girlfriend over his own children and grandchildren. One of which he's never seen and she's two years old! Some fucked up shit happened between them all but i don't think it's worth it to not speak to your family...not give your grandchildren christmas presents... I just don't get it. I wish i could just slap him and say, "wake up," your family is important. It sucks that i am the only child he talks to. I wonder how he's going to repair all of this when him and his girlfriend break up. I wonder if he'll even bother. I hope he does.
