today I stayed home from school... mostly because I felt like it and partly because I was tired as hell and my parents are cool and were like 'k everyone needs a mental health day once in a while' and I slept until 1:30.
I'm sitting here eating a blueberry candycane and not really knowing what to write about because my mind keeps wandering back to all the homework I should be doing.
our (very little) christmas tree is pretty much falling over and more ornaments are falling off of it every day. it's kind of pathetic but pretty cute at the same time.
my mom keeps getting all these packages and flowers and chocolates in the mail, 'cause her bosses wanted her to do some kind of fundraising thing for mitt romney and she ended up helping to raise a ton of money and it's really cool. we think he's kind of a douche though, and he's way too into the blending of church and state, so we're not voting for him, but the fundraising thing is part of my mom's job and therefore cannot be avoided. there's a box sitting on the dining room table for her with some hoity-toity logo on it and it's really quite heavy, so I can't wait for her to get home from work to open it.
I really wish I had some expendable cash for the holidays. the last $10 I had went to some tea, a burger, and some fancy chocolates for my dad who was celebrating his fourth year of being sober. I always like buying for people a ton more than I like getting stuff, but I usually borrow my parents' money and I need to wean myself off of that because I'd like to get a job soon, and I don't want to be dependant on them forever. sorry friends, I guess you're all getting candycanes this year~
I'm wearing pac man socks today.
