stuff
we buried brandon yesterday. the funeral was nice, the church was beyond full, there were people sitting in the aisles and on the altar even. thanks for your thoughts everyone, it helps soften the empty feeling yesterday left.
happy thoughts: katie and kris are leaving today! they are moving as we speak. that means of course that i've got to go home and help shampoo the carpets and move furniture and other slightly unpleasant tasks, but they are gone as of tonight. i've never been happier to see people leave, i'm not a nice person ;p
spent some of a gift on me earlier. i'm an emotional shopper, what can i say? got the first volume of she-ra, princess of power. baby bro watched the first disc with me, seemed to be in between interested and uncomfortable, te-hee. also got jipped, more because of my lack of knowledge than the packaging misleads thought. i found the chronicles of riddick 'trilogy' for $15 not realizing that the second movie was a 35 min peter chung anime. it was brilliantly executed and all, but 35 min leaves you with a 'that's it' feeling. also got hellboy. new additions are making my storage problems more acute...just need a bigger room ;p
christmas was small this year, i made most of my gifts. auntie mel actually came to visit, that was the best gift. my crazy cousin, 'hollywood' the accountant to the stars: ie george cloony, lucy lu, rod stewart and so on, got the three of us annual passes to disney land. still too shocked about that. guza gave me the 'american idoit' cd from greenday and took me to best buy so i could pick a dvd because, i quote, "i know shit about anime". got the first 'ultimate helsing' from malak (i know i didn't spell that right), and i still need to watch it. some gift certs from katie and chrissy, troys new gf, and my angles from shiri. i've got the pin on brandon's memorial ribbon which is on my grad tassel in my car, and the embroidered one is on my door handle, so i'm protected at home and abroad ;p. i made bracelets for mom, auntie mel, troy, katie & kris, took all my gramps' navy pictures and put together a scrapbook for my dad, got perry 'the audition' icky scary japanese horror movie, also got troy vol 2 of he-man, and katie, chrissy, and i got the baby bro a bearded dragon, whom i've dubbed fluffernutter but seth still hasn't named. am praying he does not choose shen-long;p
no resolutions this year, i break them or fate does. decided instead to just go with the flow and see if that works any better. hoping it does. trying to get out of the house and to the library a couple of times a week, but that's a decision not a resolution ;p i've been hiding for too long, its time to come out of the cave and live again :D
