(I don't understand why...but I couldn't get rid of all of the weird little symbols in this post. Consider it a Christmas/Chanukah present!)
At last!
The 3 Weeks of Chaos is finally over!
What an incredibly awful and wonderful time period it was.
Lets briefly recap. Shall we?
1) My hamsters are still alive and running around although Jimbo has one foot thats dangling by a tendon.
2) One of my co-workers is leaving our office at the end of the month and I have been inundated with so much extra work, my brain is completely fried.
3) I took Kelly to see the The Ricki Lake Show on her birthday. It was the thrill of my life. On top of having an amazing time while watching the taping, I yawned at one point and Ricki points at me and says “Hey you! Wake up!� It made my whole life. (yes, I will tell you when the airing of the episode will be)
4) After seeing RICKI, Kelly, Angie and I went to eat at a restaurant in the area. We were the only people in the restaurant except for this guy sitting by the window. When he got up to pay his bill, he walked by our table and I notice that it is Ethan Hawke! UM! He walked over to us, talked for a bit and then Kelly shmoozed her way into getting her picture taken with him. It was hecka fun.
5) With all of the money I spent this month, I somehow came up with enough to buy everyone presents, send out 30 Christmas cards, and make 100 cookies to give to people in my office. My budgeting skills impress even Donald of the Trumps.
6) Had a huge fight with my friends that is just now being worked out. Picture it as a complete upheaval of everything that is understandable and acceptable in the world. I basically lost my mind and am just now picking up my gay marbles.
7) My family got word that my brother could be home for two weeks in January! God willing.
8) Developed a weird rash on certain parts of my body. Finally healing! My skin is so uber sensitive. It makes me feel sad inside.
9) Had an amazing month with Paul. Also had an amazing month with a guy that I am talking to online. Met him in Albany over Thanksgiving and have yet to give him up. Ah the life of being 26.
10) Saw an amazing one-man show, Addicted, thanks to my dear, generous friend Kambri Crews!
11) Saw a guy have a seizure in the subway.
12) Ate about a hundred bags of CHEWY SPREES. YEM!!!
And now it is time for all of this to come to a close. With the New Year comes a fresh beginning. I am going to make the best resolutions list ever. I will post it as soon as it’s done. This year, I am resolved to at least TRY to keep my resolutions.
For Christmas, my parents have decided that it would be in our best interest to go out to dinner and to a movie. They think that doing things differently this year will make the holiday go more smoothly since my brother will be in Baghdad. It’s the first Christmas where we will not be all together as a family. It is extremely upsetting, but we will do our best to make it work. I’m just going to feel like such a dumb ass opening up all my presents on Christmas morning, while everyone just stares at me. And what if I don’t like something? I won’t have my brother there to make fun of it with me. Ah well.
As I did on Thanksgiving, I will go home with a positive attitude and do my best to save Christmas. I am excited to see my parents, to open my presents, to eat Japanese food for dinner instead of roast beast. I can’t wait to sit around the Christmas tree and to listen to Christmas music.
Paul is actually driving me home tonight. He is going to spend the evening with me at my house in Albany. It’s pretty sweet of him and I am very much looking forward to being with him tonight. We have been spending so much time together as of late and I am very happy with our current relationship status. Who knows what the New Year will bring, but 2003 is definitely ending with us a good note.
So that’s it.
I hope everyone has a beautiful Christmas!
Enjoy it to the fullest.
Be with family, be with friends, be with lovers.
But most importantly,
Be happy.
Much love.
At last!
