Its that time of year
This time of year is the best. Reasons...
I've had family get togethers that I have truely enjoyed. Usually family things consist of dinner and then the kids go play and the not-quite old people (I'm in that catergory) leave and do their own thing. But tonight there was no dinner. The food was out and people could eat as they please wherever they please. This meant that there was alot of conversation amongst everyone and I enjoyed just sitting around and talking to my relatives. Its not suprising that I ended up talking to Joanne, Michael, and Ryan the most. There was a little corner of non-ulta-conservatives. Hehe.
I was able to go to Jonathan's house tonight and play bingo and UNO attack with his family, his grandparents, and Rachel and it was a ton of fun. Since I've been home I've been able to see my friends so much and I love that. Ross has been absent from about everything, but I've come to expect that. I don't feel that he really cares about seeing his former best friends as long as he has his girlfriend. There's nothing I can do about it but to be completely honest, I've stopped caring. That small negative part of the whole friend thing doesn't even put a dent in the positive aspects. I love my friends.
Jonathan, Cameron, and I put a cd player and speakers in Sarah's (Jonathan's sister) car. It was frustrating, but good fun. We got done at 3:30 AM...but it was lots of fun. The next day Bethany had her birthday/Christmas party and that was cool. Ross was there...suprise suprise! I've seen Napoleon Dynamite twice this week and that's awesome. Bethany and I watched Fight Club tonight. Goooood movie. Jar-head bought me the collector's edition for Christmas.
I am truely happy with my life. Christmas has turned into a very materialistic holiday. Retailers view it as a time to make a few bucks. I've realized how much I love giving to people. I've spent all my money on people for Christmas. I have $9.46 in my checking account and $0 in my savings, but that's ok because the money was spent on other people. I can honestly say that if I didn't get any gifts in the morning that I wouldn't be upset in the least. That's because I am happy without gifts. I know my parents love me. I know my friends love me. I know the rest of my family loves me. That's all I need.
I now have to wrap my mom's present and my dad's present. I hope everyone who reads this has an amazing Christmas. Love to all.
