The weather really is frightful...

There are drifts of snow everywhere. I have never experienced weather like this. Quite strange... I am staying inside, and trying to stay cozy. CBS Sunday Morning is on. Such a lovely show. I wish for Charles Osgood -the host- to be my awesome great uncle. They are talking to Dustin Hoffman. Such a cool dude.

Hrm... time for more tea.

The holidays and such...

It is Christmas time, and nearly my birthday. I don't feel that great. It may be due to the fact that both my older brother and sister will be out of town. The boy because he has to work. How tragic is that? Working in a bar on Christmas eve. It makes me think of The Apartment.
My sister on the other hand is abroad in England. Her husband's family lives there, and it is their turn to have them over for Christmas. Which is fair enough. I just miss them terribly. Especially my nephew. I love that kid to pieces.

I am also a bit depressed about my birthday. My mother has to work. Which she is terribly sorry for. I don't hate her for that at all. She promised me dinner. Which will be nice. I guess it's just that it will be a fairly lonely birthday. I may go see a movie on my own that day. I think Milk is playing. Sometimes that is what a person needs. A seven dollar movie in the dark with other strangers. It always makes me feel a bit better. I've never met anyone at the movies. But also, most people don't go to the movies on their own. What a strange person I have become.

thoughts in no particular order...

I went to see my mother's cousins today. They were a ton of fun. We ate lots of food and there was general merriment. Then the power went out. Everyone got distracted, and my family decided it was time to go. We also had a small child with us. He was an absolute sweetheart.

We pushed a car out of some snow this evening. Did I mention that it snowed? Yeah. Fairly hilarious. We got to drive in it. My sister had a hilarious time with that. At one point a bunch of dirt and sand got on the windshield and my sister starts screaming about not being able to see. We make her pull over. She splashes some water on the windshield and gets back in and begins driving. Once again she starts screaming, "I can't see!" My mother calmly tells her to turn on her wipers. "Oh." We all laughed for a good while. My sister is silly like that. I love her to pieces though.

I love being home and in my nice warm house. It's absolutely perfect. I need to go to bed though. I have work in the morning...

I am back...

The kind repairman showed up yesterday morning. It turned out some animal had bitten through the line. Totally not cool. The repairman fixed it in 15 minutes. I love him. I now can go online anytime again. It is really nice. As I said, the coffee shops get a bit old nowadays.

I hung out with Luna and her older sister yesterday. I played with Luna's hair. She didn't like the first hair style I tried out on her. She did like the variations on braids I did though. I thought the first hair style was quite cute on her. She looked like a My Little Pony! hahaha... It was all fun.

totally lame..

I thought it was just the internet that was out. It wasn't that at all. All the phone lines in my house died. Which means no phone! Aaaah!!! My family will be fine. We just need to get a hold of the repairman and have him take a look at the box thingy. Everything should be fine. Meanwhile, going to coffee shops for wifi kind of sucks...

Finding my inspiration...

Someone has opened a writing shop in town. It is fantastic! They sell books on the subject, and there novels and essays as well. There are journals and pens for sale. Lots of chairs and a big table. I am incredibly excited, you have no idea! I've been trying to work on my characters for NanoWrimo. It's been kind of fun to fill out the questionaires. It's helped me pinpoint some things about my characters. Now I need to lay out some plot bits so I don't go willy nilly into this story not knowing what the hell is going on. Although, that can be fun too... We shall see how this will work out...

Much better...

I ate a proper breakfast this morning. Bacon, toast, orange slices and tea. It was really good. I am still a bit under the weather, but I am much better.

I might be meeting with a friend this afternoon. We haven't seen each other in a long time. We agreed to get together for our favorite types of caffiene. His, energy drink, mine coffee. I'll probably make him follow me about as I get a few errands done. I need to buy new headphones for the family computer and my ipod. I just sent my pink headphones to it's company to get replaced, and my earbuds are dying.

Did I mention that I finished my laptop case? It is my first felted piece. It is quite nice, and will keep my laptop very cozy. I am very proud of it.

Now to email people...

Being sick and all that...

This is me at a friends party drinking tea. I quite like it. It is what I am doing at this very moment. I feel quite ill. I am staying home from work, and I may even stay home from spanish as well. I need my energy. I will probably sit around in bed watching Gilmore Girls and drinking lots of tea. My older sister emailed me telling me to eat lots of garlic and honey. The two are filled with lots of healing properties. One can't mess with something like that.

A realization...

My friendships have changed over the past year. I didn't think that was going to happen. You think that watching all those television shows with those morals about sticking with those you true to themselves and not the phonies would be easy to follow. It's not to tell you the truth. Often times those phonies are really good at hiding who they truly are. I learned this about an old friend of mine. I thought she was fairly honest and good. She wasn't. She was unkind and rude, and had absolutely no morals of any kind. For some reason I thought she did. The sad part was that her unkindness rubbed off on me. I was a bitch to those around me, and would often say hateful things behind other's back. I really hate that about myself. It's not me. I'm glad I'm rid of her though. It was like a bad poison coursing through my system. Slowly eating away, until there was nothing left. It's gone now, and my old self is growing again. Newer, and stronger and better than before. I am back with an old friend of mine. I used to not like her(because I was hanging out with the other friend who didn't approve of her) It's better than ever. We drink tea, and hang around her house being total nerds. There is none of this frivolous behavior. It's a relief. I'm glad I'm back.

Starting anew

I had an old blog on here, but it was starting to fill up with crap. Time to start anew with something different. Something that doesn't have all of my old baggage from before.I may continue to bitch about boys and friends, you never know...
