Long, tiring day. I got: Howie Day - Live EP, Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack, Dave Matthews - Some Devil, John Mayer Trio - Try!, Coldplay - X&Y, OAR - Stories Of A Stranger !:), Dave Matthews Band: The Videos: 1994-2001 DVD, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, an mp3 player! (it's in the mail), the Basic Book of Photography, clothesssss, a pibk & orange Harry Potter-ish scarf, shoooesss, a sweet coat, two photo albums, Zigity (awesome card game), earrings, watch, bracelet, music note charms, a new Care Bear, headphones, beads like whoa, & other things I can't remember. :)
It was fun. Lots of family came over & Francis came later to watch Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. (Oh man, that movie is SO good. I love it. Tim Burton is amazing.)
Friday, we partied it up at Jeffrey's for Christmas & gift exchanging. It was crazy. Lots of fun. Noelle & I couldn't believe we were in Jeff's house. It was awesome. His house is SO nice! We're going to have to party it up there more often...
What else...I don't even know. Well, I talked to a boy yesterday who I haven't talked to in a while. It was really, really nice. I feel like we're starting over & it's good. I want him to spend New Years with me here (party at Noelle's!), it would really be great to see him. I miss him so much. I know maybe I shouldn't. But, oh well...I just do. I got his new cell number, & he should have mine. Hopefully we'll talk soon. It'll be something to hear his voice again...
I need to get my haircut. Really bad. Maybe sometime this week...
I also need to go do laundry. Lots of it. So yeah. Love.
<3 - Nichelle. :)
