Because I miss her. (chapitre une)

I worked my ass off at the gym today.

Now I feel like I’m going to vomit. All I could think the whole time I was running was “abs, abs, abs, I want to see my abs again”.

Do you like pina coladas?

I’ve never had one. But I do like getting caught in the rain.

Ask me anything

I’ve seen the previews for Alice in Wonderland on the big screen twice now, and I almost peed my pants both times. I have not been this excited about a movie since the third Lord of the Rings came out, and that is seriously saying something.

Recap of the past couple of days.

Saturday was fun. Cleve and I, along with Ryan, James, and his sister Sarah and her friend Madeleine (she is an exchange student from France, and quite adorable), all went to Austin. We went to the Health Foods store and got food and sat on the roof and talked for awhile. I had the most delicious chocolate ever. We were going to go to a houkah bar, but the one we had in mind was closed, so we went to a regular bar instead (Spiderhouse—that’s where we usually go when we’re in Austin). We stayed there for a little while, and then we walked around downtown Austin for a bit. A was a pretty good caricature of Christmas. They have tons of lights downtown, the place looked amazing. There were horses pulling carts all around town, which was also nice. But of course it just didn’t feel like Christmas to me. I wasn’t even wearing a coat—it was probably around 40 degrees out, no snow of course, and everything just looked slightly wrong. It was nice, but even Austin can’t do Christmas as well as even the smallest town in Indiana. We ended up going to a Jazz lounge and drinking wine while we listened to some stellar musicians flaunt their stuff. It was really nice. There is nothing more relaxing than Jazz and wine. James and Sarah danced in front of everyone, which was funny, because no one else was dancing, and there was no real dance floor. But they had a good time and we got a laugh out of it. After the set ended we went to some little cafe whose name I don’t recall and got food. I had French toast and sausage and eggs. It was delicious. We also got chips and queso. It was the most delicious queso I have ever devoured. After that, it was home and bed, and I’d call the night a success.

Sunday I had to work until 9, but when I got off we went to see Avatar, which I HIGHLY recommend. I almost didn’t go because I was tired and wanted to work on some stuff, but I ended up going and I’m really glad I did. It was super splendid. We also picked up some presents for people—a John Lennon t-shirt for Ryan and a beautiful scarf and earrings for Sarah. I am tempted to steal them. They are so pretty.

Today Cleve is picking up his brother, Tom, from the airport and they are going to show Tom’s girlfriend, Jill, around Austin. I wish I could have gone, but I have to work tonight, and we probably wouldn’t have been back in time to get me to work, so I had to stay here. Tomorrow will be the immediate family’s Christmas—I have to work at 6, so we’re having Christmas in the afternoon before I go to work. Chris will undoubtedly pull out all the stops and make her usual ridiculously delicious dinner (she is the best cook EVER), and we will all exchange gifts and whatnot.

I was originally supposed to have Wednesday off and work Christmas Eve, but the schedule got switched around because the other girl who works at Caroline’s quit. So now I work Wednesday, but I have Christmas Eve off. So we will all be heading to San Antonio on Christmas Eve, where there will be much eating and drinking and game-playing, and then on Christmas there will be the big dinner, and more exchanging of presents. All in all, it’s shaping up to be a pretty interesting Christmas.

A small part of me is sad, though, when I think of my family back home. Christmas is not such happy time for them anymore, and I feel guilty knowing that I will be having a good time on Christmas with someone else’s family while my own family is miserable and broken. I am also sad because I will not get to see my friends this Christmas. This is, after all, the first Christmas I’ve spent away from home. I miss the little tradition that Kaiti, Kelsey, and I had up until last year. We used to go see a movie together, and then go to Applebee’s and exchange presents. I hope that we are all around next year so we can do that again.

For the most part, though, I am glad that I am here instead of there.

HELLO DARNALIESA! (not a question)

Clearly this is Kaiti. Unless Thaddeus has a formspring. Which is unlikely.

You better ask me questions. I have nothing better to do than sit around and answer them. >_<

No boy has ever bought me jewelry. Cds, books, clothes, iPods…lol. But not jewelry. I’m not complaining—I’m quite capable of buying my own—but I’ve always thought it was sweet if a guy could pick out jewelry his girlfriend actually liked.

Personally, if a boy gave me a necklace like this, I would swoon.

‘King Rat’, el vídeo póstumo de Heath Ledger

My friend Sam just had me watch this. It’s incredibly disturbing, but also interesting. You should definitely watch it.

I am supposed to be cleaning the house!!!

But instead I am on the internet. Because I am a JUNKIE! It’s true. Admitting it is the first step to getting better, right?
