Merry Christmas...
Dec. 29th, 2003 12:15 amSo, since the last update, what have I done? Went to LotR with Cassandra, which was good, esp as there was kissing in this movie. I personally felt it dragged in spots, but that's probably just me. Was glad when someone other than Aragon or Gandolf got to do something useful. Also, I want a pet hobbit.
Then, we went to Georgia for Christmas. 16 hours in the car with my parents. That's the good part. (this is not meant to imply that time with the rest of my family was so awful that anything would be better, as I actually like both my parents and long car trips).
I do not like spending Christmas in Georgia. I do not like not having a table to eat Christmas dinner at. I do not like sleeping on the sofa bed in my Grandmother's hotel room (or in any hotel room, actually). I do like little children and playing with them, but I do not like that said small children are the children of my cousins who are my age. I do not like that seeing them really makes me want a kid, nor do I like that despite my many good deeds and my recent European adventures, nobody really seems that interested in me. I do not expect to be the center of attention, esp. when I have such small cute people as competition, but I lived in a European capital for crying out loud. I spoke German every single day. These people see me once a year. Of course there's the "when are you graduating" and "what are you going to do afterwards" questions. Since the answer to the first is May and the second is I'm not sure, this seems to make people not want to have much more conversation with me. Even if all my applications were in, I wouldn't necessarily know. I didn't know at this time in 2000 what I would be doing after I graduatied from high school. No one knows. Grrr.
Anyway, basically the point is I would rather have spent Christmas in the Northeast, with my parents. And maybe some friends, though I would like them to spend Christmas with their families too. Oh well, it is our duty, I suppose, though said relatives would probably never come north for the holidays.
I am ranting. I hope they don't read this, though maybe it would be ok. Of course, I wouldn't post if I thought that people who shouldn't read things would.
It is late, and I should go to sleep, so I can play tomorrow.
