Christmas really just does not have the same effect it used to have on me. Maybe it's age, maybe it's not having snow; I do not know. I know Christmas is what you make it. The song "Where are you Christmas?" from The Grinch, has great meaning here. I really feel that as you grow up you don't have that same excitment and anticipation towards it. I have even listened to the music less this year, which as some of you know I usually start on Nov. 1 and don't stop until the season is over. Really if it weren't for the way the parks were decoarted this year, I don't think I would even realize it was Christmas. Not going home also puts a damper on things. While it is still fun to open cards and gifts, it's not the same when you sit on your bed with a box from UPS. I got some money, gift cards, Robin Hood, Pirates 1 & 2, Glitter, and Wisegirls, a Rachael Ray book, and some other treats. And as for Christmas Eve and Christmas day I will be working. 10-6:30 tomorrow and 8am-11pm on Christmas. Lots of money and overtime, but I will be a tired boy. It is my goal to go to Magic Kingdom on Wednesday to try and catch the Christmas parade, as that is my favorite parade of the year.
So a few weeks ago I met a boy named Bob online and we went out on a date. And have pretty much been hanging out ever since. We now have officially become boyfriends. It has been almost two years since I have called anyone a boyfriend, and it's a nice feeling. He did work at Disney but has just started on a new career path. He has been very caring and sweet to me, which has already earned him big points. I look forward to seeing where it goes and hope it turns into something long term. Keep checking back for more updates on how it's going. It looks like on Wednesday we will be having a movie day. Nothing but pajamas and movies all day!! Lots of movies I need to catch up on so it will be good.
I had a Christmas Party/Game Night this past week and it was a good time. We used to always have game nights with my friends and it was a nice reminder of how fun they were. Hopefully with this new group of friends we are going to try to do it more. I know from what I have heard it was a hit and everyone had a good time. I have slacked a little bit lately on the gym, only because the side effects from going back on my meds have been still kicking my butt. Mostly fatigue and restlessness at night. I am commited to get back to it, because I did enjoy it for once and felt good. I just need to get past being so tired. They are lasting a little longer than last time but maybe that is cause I was off them for a while and also because I am working so much and my body itself is more tired.
Alright I am sure there is more to update but I have to work early and so I need to hit the hay. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas or whatever they celebrate. Look for Rian's 2006 Year End Review soon to catch and reflect on all that happened in my life this past year. There have been a lot of changes and ups and downs this year, so it should be a good read!
