Heartbreak and Triumph
I got the Shawn Michael's book for christmas. And i finished it. Incredible, the things he says and the opinions he has of certain people... Loved it.. Now what am i supposed to do at work?
I guess I could update
Finals are over, so far i've pulled off an A, A-, and a pass.. one more grade to come and that one is not going to be pretty. It's over, i won't dwell. I worked at Pac Sun on Christmas Eve, and i was scheduled till 3:30 but i did not want to rush to church so i made a deal with my manager and she said i could leave at noon. It got really busy and i was ringing people up and finally had time to take a breath, look around, and who do I see but the one person i never expected to see on christmas.. well actually i kind of did since we seem to see each other on holidays. either way i was shocked, and he was too since he didn't think i worked there anymore.. needless to say, it was a very interesting day. Potbellies was had, and a bit of mall wandering also.. Only on christmas can he and i get along that perfectly. Defintely a christmas gift in itself, to hang out with an old friend with no drama. We both had stuff to do so eventually i made it home and wondered what to do/say to someone but it's alright now. Went to church.. where i almost went NUTS on this 2 year old who would not stop running up and down the aisle. literally, 20 times plus. My dad says they should give us tazer guns if that happens again. It was really ridiculous. We made it home - i raced my dad and won.. for the first time.. and my ma and i cooked up our traditional christmas eve dinner- appetizers. i was not hungry since i've been swallowing snot for a week so i ate a little bit. sad i couldn't enjoy the meatballs. We ate, on paper plates since we kids are so impatient and HATE cleaning up on christmas eve.
Finally opened presents and i was very crabby at first because my parents brought up a sore subject but i got over it once i saw my presents. I got The Skeleton Key (the only thing i wanted), Life as a House, Shakespeare in Love, Alice in Chains Music Bank, and Pete and Pete season One, which i attempted to buy my mom a few days earlier and she had to hold back her laughter. Her and I cannot lie.. so i always ask her what i got for christmas and i can get her to tell me just because she can't hold in her laughter.. That's how i found out she looked in a bag that had her presents in it, but that's because mike thought he was "hiding" it by putting it in my laundry.. bad idea. I also got a new printer/scanner/copier, 2 sweaters i picked out, huge pajama pants, a necklace and i think that's it. Thursday Mike gave me the 40 year old virgin, this really soft bear we saw at cracker barrel, lotion that smells like me, a playboy bunny belly button ring since i'm obsessed with the girls next door, and unmentionables. All in all i got more than i wanted. All i wanted was to spend time with the ones i love, and i did.
Anyway after my fam exchanged gifts (btw i gave my twin bro a blind guardian shirt and a kamelot shirt which he fell in love with, and my lil bro a sonata arctica hoodie, my dad a new bible he wanted, and my mom slippers and two boyds bears she liked which made her cry cause they said "home is where your mom is")
I headed to Mike's for his giant family christmas eve. I hate being around that many strangers but most of them were drunk so it was ok.. only a few uncles/cousins hit on me or hugged me/pinned me against the cupboard, one followed me into the bathroom.. one said he was checking out my ass.. one called me algebra. It's ok cause be called Dorothy DoDo. By the way, i was SOO excited to hang out with Dorothy. She rules. Nuff said.
So Mike, Brian, Dorothy and I all sat on the couch all night and watched TV and i pulled out Pete and Pete and we all love that show so we attempted to watch hit while their little annoying cousin attacked everything in sight. Wait i'm supposed to be nice.. oh well. I left since i had to work at 2..
I woke up at 9 today and no one was around so i sat around until my parents got back from church and my brothers woke up at 11:30.. santa didn't come this year so we got our ritual cheetos and candy in our stockings. for some reason one year my mom bought cheetos and every easter/christmas since they have been a staple.. so funny. Mike came over to eat turkey dinner/lunch with us and left when i left for work. I was in such a crappy mood since i knew i had to leave for work i made it pointless for him to come over. It's ok i'll see him tonight.
That was Christmas this year, cut short by work. Oh well i'm making bank right now...
