the waiting wonder
christmas break is officially here! woo!
but i still don't have the internet at home. (i'm at my mom's office right now.) so i spent all of yesterday at home stringing tiny beads together. i have about 142 million beads that i bought over the summer in hamilton at a garage sale for only $2. i used them on the little candles i gave out on thursday and now i'm making a decorative piece to hang over my bed because my cruddy painting of a bird that's there right now has completely lost my interest.
i got so many wonderful things on thursday. my secret santa (jenna) gave me a tin of homemade (i'm assuming) chocolates and 2 rolls of black and white film, which i'm really excited about because i haven't taken good photos in a really long time; lisa made me a seth cohen/adam brody inspired mixtape and i now have bright eyes and saves the day songs stuck in my head; i got a mug and a box of chai tea bags from lauren c. and i am now an official fan of chai tea (sooo good!); and of course, my j.lee gave me a santa penguin (pangel!), a cute album (in which i can put the photos i take with jenna's film!) and a bag of candy.
i actually kinda feel festive this year. it's my last christmas break from high school after all. but. i'm turning 17 on tuesday and i don't feel one bit excited about it. i can tell i'm getting old because i don't care much about presents anymore. i'm all about the personal touches, the thoughtful things. i used to think my birthday was so special because it was 2 days before christmas. but now i realize how much it actually sucks. i age without notice. everyone's so busy with christmas, etc. to remember that i'm turning a year older. well, they do remember, but only for a few moments and then it's back to christmas, boxing day, and new year's. i don't even care anymore.
