It’s Christmas Day! But if felt just like any other day. We did the presents this morning, as always, but I didn’t know what time we were doing them for sure.
Around 5:00, I kept waking up and couldn’t sleep for nothing. So I laid there and tried to think of what my parents could have possibly gotten me since they didn’t get me walkie-talkies like I asked for. All I could think of would be stuff that I would use later in life, but nothing in particular came to mind. They wouldn’t buy me computer stuff because they don’t want to support my “addiction” as they put it, and they won’t buy me electronic stuff because they don’t want me to have fun and stay in my room all the time, and that wouldn’t help me later in life. So, thinking all this got me a little depressed, then I remembered Amy was going to call me today.
Christmas is a family day. So I felt real special yesterday when she said she would call me. We could talk more and I would have a much better day after hearing her voice. So, with that, I went back to sleep.
Around 7:40, when my alarm went off, I woke up and listened to the Christmas music on the radio station it was set to. It was the same old songs they play every year. So I didn’t care too much about listening to them. I just thought of how I wish I could relay them to someone special, preferrably Amy, and get the same loving response in return. I did that for about 30 minutes and turned it off when the commercials came on. Then I went back to sleep until 8:20.
My mom came in, “I hope you are getting dressed!” Nope, I was still in bed. So I got up and got dressed, then went to the living room about 8:25 to eat some cranberry bread, poppyseed bread, and banana bread. My sister was reading the Christmas Story book. We then opened presents.
From my sister, I got two hand-drawn pictures. From my parents I got some anti-freeze windshield wiper fulid, a tire pressure gague, a small windshield wiper, slippers, water shoes, some teflon pots and pans, and a dinnerware set for when I move out. Can’t use anything but the slippers right now, so I did.
When we were done with gifts, I worked on my brother’s computer. No luck there. For the past two years now, I have built a computer for my brother. The first one he had, the motherboard burnt out, so I took my old one and built one for him. he then proceeded to screw that one up, so now he has a new shell and my stepdad just put the old parts into it. It doesn’t work. It won’t read from the CD-ROM or something, but I Was ablt to clear the hard drive. Now it’s just a piece of hardware.
I got my speaker to work that I got from Josh, an RA in Fry, but now it doesn’t, and my CD player is still screwing up. Dah well…After all that I went driving.
Today I worked on left and right turns, parallel parking, and hills as well as testing my anti-lock breaks. Afterward, I took a nap. I was beat. It was about the time Amy was supposed to call, so I told my mom that I would take the call. However, my mom then decided to get on the internet when it was even closer to the time that she was most likely to call…GRRRR!! Amy’s a smart girl. She’ll call back if it’s bursy…I hope :-/
My parents still insist on refering to her as my “girlfriend” even though they know better, when ever they talk to me about her. I do’nt mind so much; I would be thirlled to have her as my girlfriend, however there is a lack of committment from one side or the other. (But I’m game for it 🙂 .) I just can’t see how the guys that turn her down did so. She’s a sweet, funny, spontaneous, smart, cute, and pretty (not the same thing) girl. I guess they think they can do better…I’ve not found anything better, and wouldn’t dare look.
Well, we watched Big Mama’s House (it was the first time my parents have seen it), and they liked it. (Amy still hasn’t called.) And, since that was over, I decided to write my journal. It’s 7:21 o.m., and she still has 2 hours to call. hopefully she will. Hopefully she has just gone out of town and will call me when she gets back. Hopefully, she will call me tomorrow if it is too late tonight. Hopefully…
Laterz.
Song in my head: “All I want for Christmas is You” – Mariah Carey
Craving: Summer Sausage
Mood: Sad/Moderate/Bored
Thought: “I will just take this no-call as a time scheduling conflict. I have seen how stupid mistakes have pitted couples against each other to ruin a relationship. I won’t let that happen to me, at least not from my end…”
