well, technically today since its 1 AM.. hehe I'm definitely very excited to be finally getting back, but there's only one problem. We have this couch thats kinda breaking down and last night I was trying to close one of the recliners and I went to kick it like I always do, expecting it to give, but it was not the chair that gave. It was my toe. haha So, now the big toe on my right foot is twice the size of a normal toe and purple.. and it hurts like hell. I don't know if its broken...it may just be jammed or bruised, but it hurts so much. I feel like such a baby though, my mom has been so amazing to me all day, getting me ice and pain killers and so on, and she's the one who had a compound fracture of her big toe a year and a half ago. I mean, compared to what she went through this is a picnic.. haha This is why mothers are the best. :) Now, the reason that this presents a problem for me is that its my right big toe....the big toe of my driving foot.. and I can't really walk, so I'm not sure how exactly I'm going to be able to drive... haha We'll just have to figure that out tomorrow, I guess. I'm sure it'll be alright..I hope. haha
As for other things going on in my life right now, all I've been doing is watching movies and TV.. hehe On Saturday my dad decided he wanted to go to the movies, and so when I read him the list of all the movies that are out right now, he decided that he most wanted to see Peter Pan. haha My dad surprises me sometimes...you look at him and you'd never think that HE would pick Peter Pan, or want to paint our living room walls lavender, or have a great "respect" for Madonna and her talent, but I guess you can never judge a book by its cover..haha So anyways, I went into the movie not expecting too much and thinking I'd MUCH rather be seeing Something's Gotta Give, but the movie surprised me. I mean, it wasn't anything spectacular or award worthy, but it was definitely a really good Peter Pan. And the children were amazing. I mean, I realize its a little sick, but the kids who play Peter and Wendy are just sooo pretty. They're only 13, but I think they're going to be beautiful when they grow up.. Peter was just sooo cute...I couldn't get over it. hehe Yeah, now I feel like a child molester.. haha Anyways, tonight I watched The Santa Clause 2 with my parents, and that was really cute too. It was a surprisingly entertaining sequel. :) Aside from all the movies and TV, I've read 5 books.. nothing too substantial or quality, but good books nonetheless. I finally read Lord of the Flies because I've always felt that a void because our class didn't get to read it sophomore year.. because Ms. Swander felt that it was more important we play with clay.. but anyways...hehe It was a good book..makes you think about human nature and society and stuff. Overall I read about 1700 pages, and they may not have been 1700 quality pages, but at least I kept myself mostly entertained. hehe
So, I'm obviously looking forward to the next quarter. Last quarter was really good, but there are definitely a few things that could have been better, and I hope to make some necessary changes and improvments to myself over the next few months. I don't really believe in making New Years Resolutions because, first of all, I know I probably won't keep them if I'm only doing something because I think I should for New Years. But also, I know that there are a few things that are problems with me, and I think if I can recognize these things at any time of the year, I should make some sort of effort to correct them. New Years resolutions kind of seem like a cop out or a joke to me.. Its an excuse to make a goal for yourself, but its also an excuse if you fail in that goal. "Ohh, it was just a New Years resolution, no one ever keeps those anyway." But that shouldn't be the point, the point should be self improvment...hmm, anyways, just some points to ponder. I'm getting a little too introspective here..hehe Anyways, I'm excited for the next few months, and I can only think of one thing that could make them better, but that one thing is an impossibility. hehe
