so it's christmas eve, and it seems like everyone's off being merry, or at least wishing it upon others. so i think i'll do the latter. merry christmas eve and consequentially christmas everyone. unfortunately, it's just not the same this year for me. i guess it's a result of my brother and i both moving out and my brother deciding to spend today and the better part of tomorrow in virginia with hartley rather than here with us, but it just doesn't feel right. the sights and smells are all here, the chex mix in the kitchen and the well-meaning decorations everywhere. but it's just weird. on christmas eve we've always gone out to dinner, come home and watched a christmas movie or something, opened a present, read the night before christmas and gone to bed, only to wake up early the next morning to the remainder of the presents. this year we're eating appetizers all night (definitely not complaining, it's going to be good), i'm watching a movie more or less by myself on IFC while my parents are doing whatever, and there will be no early present opening and the night before christmas, if we even do that, will be lacking. when we wake up tomorrow we'll have to wait around for my brother to get here, and it just really seems like the magic is being sucked out of the holiday.
on a happier note, the movie i'm watching on ifc, ghost world, is promising so far. it's got steve bushemi, and with him you really can't go wrong. secondly, i only asked for like three things for christmas, and i'm pretty sure i'm getting them all plus whatever else, so it's going to be good once it finally happens. it's just the waiting and breach of tradition that's killing me, i think. it's going to be good times when bobby and hartley get here, and i'll probably have a happier entry soon. but, until then, this is what there is.
i guess this is growing up?
