I am horrible at updating this thing...
I hope that everybody had a good Christmas (or whatever holiday you may celebrate). Mine went well. I thought that it would be crazy hectic having to run around with Dominic's family, but it really wasn't bad at all.
Speaking of Dominic... We are doing great. We have been together for about eight months now and I am very happy. We have our little arguments every once in a while, but we are both pretty good at admitting when we are in the wrong and apologizing for it.
John finally proposed to Jeannie. They have been together for approximately six years and already have a little boy together, so it was bound to happen. The ring is beautiful. I guess that he actually got nervous while he proposed. I thought that that was kind of cute.
I am almost embarrassed to admit that I got Twilight for Christmas. Everyone talks about this book. I had to see what the big deal is. I will admit that I actually like it. I don't really see the whole attraction to Edward, though. He is almost stalker creepy to me. And Bella is a big wuss. But the book is really well written. I am about half-way through it already. I want to finish reading it so that I can see the movie.
I would like to throw out a book recommendation, though. It is called I Wanna be Your Joey Ramone. Pick it up, it is a very good read.
And I swear, my body is falling apart too fast for a 22 year old. On Tuesday, I noticed that my right shoulder and arm were really tender and hard to move so I had my Mom take a look at it. She said that I got bit by something and that it looked infected. Awesome. Dominic was bit by a spider a month or so ago and his leg swelled like crazy. So I went into the doctor's on Friday to get it checked out. Plus I've had what I thought were flea bites all over my legs since about July so I needed to get those checked out anyway. I'm on medicine for the bite on my shoulder. The medicine makes me feel dizzy and gross, which is awesome. I have missed so much work because of it. But the real kicker is that the doctor told me that the things on my legs, arms, back, etc. aren't flea bites at all. He told me that I will need to go see a dermatologist, but in his professional opinion I might have psoriasis. That fucking sucks. I am going to look like a damned elephant whenever I have a flare up. If I have this bullshit disease, I won't be able to drink much and I will have to quit smoking. I will have to take care of this because I don't want to have any flare ups and look like a freak for the rest of my life. It sucks. I can't even get into a dermatologist until the fifth because the ones on my insurance are all on vacation. I don't want to freak out too much about this since it hasn't been tested yet, but it's hard to not get upset. At least Dominic is being really sweet about it.
Other than stressing out about my health problems and reading far too much Twilight, I haven't really been up to anything too exciting. Hopefully next year will start off a bit better for me.
