my christmas tree has a plastic gun and a decapitated angel.
last night's party at Maddy's house was interesting. I was over there for most of the day helping out and preparing my holiday cookies (I don't own a rolling pin so I needed to borrow hers). I had to drive down to grab Adam from work for about an hour and a half. He was stressing out a lot from work and just wouldn't calm the fuck down while he was at Maddy's house, so he ended up being more annoying than fun. While he was there Lauren (his ex-gf) showed up and he kept staring at her (or it just seemed like he was). I told him to calm down about work and he made some snarky remark about how I don't understand pressure because I've never had a real job before. I wanted to slap him across the face right then and there, but I resisted and told him that I don't appreciate those types of comments and he knows that they aren't true. He does this thing whenever he gets stressed out or angry about work things that he takes it out on me or blames things on me and then it becomes an 'us' issue when it shouldn't be. He apologized later so all is good. I went back to Maddy's house where I felt awkward because Lauren was there. I don't dislike Lauren because I don't know her, but I have absolutely no respect for the girl because of what she did to Adam and the fact that according to certain sources she's really lazy, bitchy, uses people, etc. I mostly stayed around because I knew Scott was coming and I miss Scott like hell. Scott, Ben (Maddy's housemate), and I had a good conversation about Hannah Arendt and the divine I am, which according to some was such a boring topic that it put Cosmo (Maddy's dog) to sleep. Scott loved my present to him, which I knew he would. He got me a really awesome book called the Female Chauvanist Pig, which is about Raunch Culture. I left when everybody else started leaving. After that I brought over my leftover cookies to Adam's work and hung out there to warm up for about a half hour and then went home and went to bed. I didn't get up until noon today. I had lunch with Adam at Cafe Campesino around 1. Then I went to Paper Vision and bought Christmas cards to send to people back home. I have no money at all for Christmas presents. BofA denied my request to increase my credit limit and I keep trying to get them to send me a card for my other credit line and they keep sending me one for the one I already have (and maxed out). I'm hoping to get my uncle's Christmas present so I can have enough to pay the rent for January. I'm not going home for Christmas, which sucks, because I have work the next day and I need to take the hours whenever I can get them. I talked to my dad and my grandma about it and they both understand. I talked to my mom on the phone for a while to see how she was doing and she's doing pretty well. After all the phone calls I rearranged (still rearranging actually) my room and watched the Graduate. The Graduate is not only a good movie, but Adam looks like Dustin Hoffman when he's shaved his beard. We've only spent one night together this week and its getting to me. I don't really care that we don't get to spend much time together, but I miss sleeping with him. I've gotten used to being able to cuddle up with him. He worked until two in the morning last night, which is insane. Hopefully he won't have to work that late tonight and won't have to work this weekend. I'd much rather have him not stay too late tonight and go in for a couple hours tomorrow because it's not good for him to be staying up to such late hours working. I think I should get some dinner or something.
