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.
