Christmas time is here

Christmas time is my favorite time of the year. Well it’s the main holiday of my favorite part of the year.

Patrick is in St. Louis with his family. I’m here in LA and have come down with a cold. A pretty miserable one at that. Not only do I have a cold but I also am having an allergic reaction to something in my bed. This means  I can sleep for about 4 hours before I wake myself up with scratching. Hopefully that will go away when the cold does, which should be tonight.

I haven’t come up with a final meal plan for Christmas yet but I think it will either involve duck or a turkey. Not sure what I am going to do with my family for their presents. I was going to get my mom a massage from Burke Williams and take my sister out shopping for some new clothes, and not sure what to do for my dad, but instead I have spent too much money on myself so I am not doing anything. :/ I know, it’s terrible.

Travel Is In Your Future

Tomorrow morning I am leaving. how exciting. It’s been ummm 10 or 11 years since I’ve been in Hong Kong. My parents and relatives have me taking so much crap with me to my aunt and cousin. I’m taking lots of mail (addressed to my aunt) and presents and steaks. Yeah, as in meat.

I opened my most important presents last night, from my honey, Dnaiel. He bought me seasons 1-5 of FRIENDS on DVD!! I’ll be watching friends for the rest of my life! haha.

Right now, however, I am watching the appendices of Two Towers…a Christmas present I bought for myself. Such great shit!

Again, merry Christmas to everyone and happy new year!

Wanted to add: it doesn’t feel like Christmas because I haven’t watched any Christmas movies yet

The Road to New Beginnings

Classes are finally over. Christmas time is here. Soon it will be a whole new year, and I don’t know if it means starting over but I know it’s a jumping off point (is that the term?). I could be smarter. I could try to be less analytical and emotional about my personal life. I could learn new things. Let’s see what happens.

All I do know for sure is that I have a limited number of days here at home to be with my loved ones and friends. To enjoy LA and everything it has to offer. To abuse my Disneyland Annual Pass to the fullest extent (hee hee) and to pack up my life into boxes. I know I’ll still have a place here if I need or want it but I think I should learn to be on my own. I think minimizing my material possessions will be good for my soul.

I haven’t really had much to close with for the past month of journal entries, I still don’t right now but I’ll just say happy holidays and be safe on new years.
