Hey! Today is the 20th of december, and my family is holding a "family meeting" (Roger gets talked to first, then me) and that, of course, means that its going to be a shouting fest. So I am trying out the "I had a fantastic day, and Im so happy and life is wonderfull" attitude. I dont know if it will work.
Anyway, later tonight Gabo is having a movie thing in Fraser, I want to go, but I dont know if the parents are up for letting me do that. Who knows. To be honest, things have been pretty shit if my life right now. But Im making the best of it, trying to be around people who make me happy and trying to be a good friend. It does couse some troubles, I have had a few issues with letting my mouth talk before my brain sorts things out. I used to be faster at it. Thinking before speaking is hard.
I got a new sketch book, and its been rather a challenge to draw, lately. I dont really have as much time, and the time I do have I am doing things that are more mind numbing and involve less thinking and planning.
I am really excited for this weekend, Im going to a winter dance (what does one wear to a winter dance?), and maybe a "festivus for the rest of us" party, maybe, maybe not.
Christmas is in a few days, and I still need to get a present for Alex, I have no idea what to get him. We were talking, and apparently he dosent know what to get me either. This happens every year.
Other friends, are easier to shop for, material gifts are easy: books I think they would like or clothes they would looks great in. But Alex, every year, I end up never knowing what to get him. I dont want to get my two best friends anything petty, mayhaps the problem is that all the books Ive liked arent their things or they have read. Or, the clothes thing, I dont want to be intrusive and get something that they would hate or only wear when Im around. How about jewlery or a thing from the past, thats only relevant for Alex, and we have already swaped all our old camp things.
Present-shopping is hard. I wish I could just tell what they wanted, and make sure that no one else gives it to them first.
So, happy winter holidays. Hope things go well.

Its been a while since I last posted. A lot has happened.
Alex came home from college, and he will be back all year. I now spend every weekend at the Meat Locker, our new city house. I dont like it very much. Doug sleeps over pretty much every weekend, and I see him all the time, its fantastic. Sam still has parties, just now Im invited because Im the new best friend. We go out for pizza on most mondays now, its a good excuse for girl time. I can legally drive and its nice, the gass is a hassle to pay for, but so worth it. I got stage manager for the school musical Sweeny Todd, but I dont start work 'till late janurary. The crew who signed up is iffy, none of them have done it before and they all think that crew is just for failed actors. Its not. I also got 6 crew, and thats rather a lot. I hope I dont end up with bored crew, thats the worst they distract actors and then nothing works as planned.
Other than that, things are mostly the same. This weekend was good, I saw Doug on the train to the city on thrusday, then again on friday, and he came over and we ate dinner with my family to try to smooth over what happened last weekend (my dad kicked him out of the house). I took Doug, on saturday, to Sams virgin coctail party. We all went out to eat at Minellas, and it was fun, then I slept over and watched Doctor Who (<3). And on sunday I went to the holiday reunion for MontyG, it was weird to see everyone again, and of course, Doug was there (because I dont see him enough as it is). It was a full and rather good weekend.
This is my last week of school till break, and its all pretty ok, because the teachers dont want to give too much work, seeing as no one wants to grade shit over break. I cant wait for Christmas, this will be my first real one since we moved to Philly. A tree and everything, its crazy.
