| Well, today (yesterday, technically) I did some more shopping. That's all I've done lately, it seems. I went to Chillicothe with my mom and sister. Loads o' laughs. And you would think that all the snow and ice would keep people in, but no-the stores are as busy as ever. It was fun watchin a Jeep spin around in circles on the ice in the parking lot of Elder Beerman though. LOL. Then I had to ride all the way from Chillicothe down to West Portsmouth to go to my sister's to pick up her presents, and then we came back. Then we had to carry them in and her truck, despite being in park, began to slide of its own free will in our driveway. Of course, I about busted my ass on the ice. Then when I went back out to my car to get stuff in it from the other day, the doors were frozen shut and I had to climb in through the trunk and push them open. Fun times. All part of the joy of winters in southern Ohio. :) And in the summer it's so hot we can't stand it-two major extremes. Now I'm anxiously awaiting present time!! Today at 3 we're doing our Christmas stuff. We always do it on Christmas Eve-family tradition, I suppose-but we're doing it a little earlier in the day this year. Can't wait! Presents!! LOL...it'll probably suck. Anyway, this was a lame entry, but that's all I got to say.
Laters,

| Wheew, what a nice day. I got up late, as per usual. Today is Stacie's birthday-she's 19. I picked her up at her house and we went to town and got some stuff for her get together (i was warned to not call it a shindig, nor a hootenanny, because it was just a small gathering). But, we picked up Little Caesar's and chips and dip from Kroger (where we saw Heather-yay). Then we went back to Sarah's house and hung the Feliz Cumpleanos banner haha. We had a pretty fun night. Kathy and Charlie came. They all liked their fun packs and since it doubeld as our Christmas gathering, we got our gifts from Stacie. Kristin and I have called a Christmas truce until we get money, and Charlie was too good to buy us gifts apparently haha. But Sarah got me this Goth Acoustic tribute to Evanescence. It's probably the suckiest CD ever but we had a lot of fun karaoke-ing to it. She also got me an Amy Lee poster....i LOVE her to death. We were out in Stacie's garage, and her dad is a musician so we used the PA system to karaoke. Lots of fun ensued. It was great when Stacie and Kathy went inside to pee and came back to me and Charlie singing "Tourniquet." We sang a little bit of everything. You name it: G and R, Linkin Park, Seether, Evanescence, Yellowcard, AC/DC, Metallica, SOAD, Spice Girls, Buffy musical songs (my choice obviously), Green Day, Jefferson Airplane, the Tru Calling theme song, and many, many more. Then I raided Stacie's CD's and borrowed The Strokes, The White Stripes, and SOAD's Toxicity. I wanted to get home so I could get online and chat up H, haha. Well, that's all for now.

AAHH. I also forgot to mention how pissed off I was. I got home at like 1:30 am and my mom's like "we were worried about you. You need to start leaving numbers." And I'm like, you know I'm 18 years old and I'm in freakin college...it shouldn't matter. And they keep thinking the roads are bad. Yes, they're wet, but it's not freezing outside yet. My aunt in Dayton has 12 inches of snow?? Well, we're two hours away from Dayton, aren't we. Grr...I hate being treated like a child. When are they going to let me grow up? | | |
| Today was pretty decent. I slept until wicked late again-I have to stop that! Then I went to church with Eunice for our Christmas party. Then the two of us went carolling. Luckily I'm the best darn lip-syncher ever. It was pretty decent. Now I'm trying to plan out my last Christmas shopping venture. Joy. So much to get in so little time with so few dollars. I'll manage somehow. And my mom found out I have almost maxed out my credit card. She's like "Do you know you have a (insert monetary value) dollar limit?" I'm like, "Umm...yep?" But she hasn't screamed at me yet...although she also hasn't offered to let me use her money to buy my books either. I'm thinkin I'm gonna have to head back to the Big W. I dread it though...and the thing I hate most is the undying and everlasting smell! It seeps into my clothes and then my car smells like nasty burger and old fries...I remember my locker at school used to smell because I hung up my coat there. Disgusting. But, such is the price to pay for minimum wage goodness I suppose. That reminds me: I hate it when friends who just recently started working will say things like "Well you don't work," and are just really condescending like they have it so bad because they work, even though I've worked for over a year now, and I worked during high school, when I had much less free time. Not to mention, I think my job was a heck of a lot harder than some of theirs. Anyway, I'm gettin myself into trouble. But I'm starting to get kind of excited for this upcoming holida-what is it called-Christmas or something. I can't wait...we're doing ours on Friday afternoon. We always do presents on Christmas Eve, but we're doing it during the day because Laurel (sister) and Chuck (sort of brother in law, but not officially) both have to work that evening. Anywho...tomorrow is Christmas Eve Eve Eve, so happy holidays.
And because I'm in a Christmas carol mood, here's an excerpt from my favorite, which is actually a poem from Longfellow:
"And in despair I bowed my head/'There is no peace on earth,' I said/'For hate is strong and mocks the song/Of peace on earth, good will to men. // Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep/ The wrong shall fail, the right prevail/with peace on earth, good will to men."
Peace,

| Well, today began with a late start. I planned on being up at 10, but laziness won, and I slept 'til 11:08. Then I went to SSU to meet Heather, but to my chagrin, she was not allowed to go to the mall with me. Luckily, my friend Carrie ran into me on campus, and she volunteered to go with me. We had to work a present wrapping table at the mall, for my mom's office. The mall let's charitable organizations wrap presents for small donations. It was pretty fun. Then we ran into my friend Charlie, who I found out is not in the V Clube any more. DAMN HIM. I'm not sayin whether I'm still a full-fledged card-caryying member any more or not, but I'm still an eency bit jealous. Then we went and hung out with my friend Stacie. Her birthday's Wednesday and we're havin her a lil' gathering. Charlie and I also got her a seductive thong at Maurices. We thought it was great. Stacie was appalled. Kathy was amused. Now I'm home and kind of tired, and wishing my life were more interesting.
Later gang (or two people that read my entries).
QOTD: "You may write me down in history/ With your bitter, twisted lies/ You may trod me in the very dirt? But still, like dust, I'll rise...You may shoot me down with your words/ You may cut me with your eyes/ You may kill me with your hatefulness/ But still, like air, I'll rise." ~"Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou

| Ok, so I had y'all a long, beautiful detailed account of my day, but what has to happen? Well, karma hates me, and so does AOL. Of course it quit on me. Basically I got up wicked early (9 am), went to WalMart with my mom, where I had to control my nephew Vaughn. Kept the demon child out of trouble for the most part, and of course my mom rewarded him with a Transformers toy. And I found my Home Movies Season One DVD set and threw it in the cart. I love this whole picking our your own present thing...sucks that I have to wrap them myself though. Anyway, then company came. I took my 17 year old cousin, Sheena, and her friend Kim for a night out on the town of Portsmouth. *sarcasm* We did end up bowling with Sabrina. Before that, we hit up Dollar Tree, where I bought supplies to make fun packs for my firends Sam, Charlie, and Kathy. It's Sam's birthday this week, so I got everyone gift bags that have party popper guns, extra ammo, toys, and these dog toys that closely resemble dildos-very fun. And if Charlie doesn't come, I'll take his, because it has a sheriff play set-can't believe it was only a dollar-even has handcuffs, a badge, and a dartgun :) haha. Bowling was cool, I think I got a wonderful 70-something lol. And there was a long discussion from my friend Belinda when I asked for size 13 shoes about, well you know-"the myth." I told her she'd just have to find out for herself at a later time. She stuck close with me for most of the nite-lol. But I digress. Today was pretty decent. And I'm getting rather windy...
Peace out,
~john
PS for my Quote of the Day I'll leave with some random Buffy on...Love quotes I pulled out of "The Quotable Slayer."
ANYA: When I think something bad might happen to you, it feels bad inside, like I might vomit.
XANDER: Welcome to the world of romance.
ANGEL:...I could see your heart. You held it before you for everyone to see and I worried that it would be bruised or torn. more than anything in my life I wanted to keep it safe, to warm it with my own.
BUFFY: That's beautiful.....or, taken literally, incredibly gross. | | |
