| i feel obligated to update. not because i've had some super life changing experience. or that i'm in love and need to shout from the mountain-top. or that i got this beautiful pink cashmere sweater for christmas(which, incidentally, i did ) but just because.
break is going well. i've been spending a lot of time catching up with people who i haven't talked to in aaaages. or because they have 'accidentally' blocked me on their buddy list (ahem ahem)
am i the only one who really doesn't enjoy spending time with her family that much? I dunno, maybe its a phase or something, but I feel like my family and I just don't get along, and can't spend time together. My dad is on christmas call, which bites ass because he's at the hospital all day and we can't really spend much 'family time' without my daddy. My brother is going through this really pissy pre-pubescent phase. He's 13. I want his voice to change and for him to start liking girls, so I can actually relate to him. He's being really annoying, and in this 'its fun to annoy my sister, and then proceed to beat the shit out of her' phase. He thinks I'm trying too much to be his parent, I think. Well, its because he's being too much of a kid. Perhaps I'm being to harsh on him. Any input?
Then my mom is on her "my child is leaving me for college, i'm so lonely. My husband works too much, i'm so lonely. My son is a being pissy, It makes me mad. I want to go to India but i feel guilty leaving my family" thing. Thankfully, she's going to India in January for a few weeks, so she better get it all out of her system.
I love the snow. I really do. I love to ski. I've been doing it since I was three (ooh, rhyme.) And sledding/snowball fights/etc. are so so much fun. But this snow came at a lousy time. First, it came after school was out, so we didn't even get a snow day. Then the snowplow people don't actually come up our street, which, if you've been to my house, is disaster. We have two feet of snow on this giant hill, and its so dangerous to drive down because it's all icy. Then, my driveway is so huge, and everytime we shoveled, the snow kept coming down. Finally we gave up and called a snow-plow guy to come do it, but he did a half-assed job and ended up shoving all the snow in front of my garage door. There is an eight foor pile of snow behind my car. If i want to leave the house on my own(if my parents will let me drive down the damn hill,) I have to somehow move that shit pile.
I'm not really in the Christmas spirit this year. As someone so kindly pointed out, its because i'm not Christian. Which may be true. But I always used to enjoy it. I dunno, a lot of people really aren't feeling Christmassy this year. it just doesn't seem that special.
So today, I need to finish this app, and then this other app, and then hopefully go sledding. Erin said she'd come help me shovel the pile of snow, so that I can leave the house. That was nice of her.
Anywho, I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday.
peace on earth, joy to the world, happy christmas, merry new year
