Merry Turkey-mas

My family went to a friends' house to have a big dinner with family and friends. We made a lot more turkey than we needed and we had a lot of other food too. Along with the turkey there was ham, mashed potatoes (with cheese!!), sweet potatoes, rolls, gravy, salad, my mom's mlince which is to die for (Croatian dish that's basically tortillas burned a little over a flame and then has turkey drippings in it. Pure bliss), and pie. Prior to dinner, all I had was a piece of fruit and some Coca-Cola. No joke. I really wanted to save up for the mass amounts of food to come and it worked. Had room for seconds and two pieces of pumpkin pie. And sadly watched the 49ers lose their game against the Ravens but whatever.

Like sane shoppers my family is, we took no participation in Black Friday. I really don't see a point because people are crazy to get items for cheap at a small stock. It's nothing but pure insanity. People are trampled to death because other people want to get in the store first and I just saw on the news a woman used pepper spray and injured ten people for an XBox 360 at half price. I mean seriously?? You're gonna injure/possibly kill people for a stupid electronic for your kid? How stupid can you get?! It completely amazes me how Black Friday is still in existence to this day. People start fights and some are trampled to death to get some item of their desire for a super low price.

If there's something that barely exists in the 21st century it's common sense.

So the day of giving thanks is over and now it's the season of jolly and holly and other things ending with olly (Reference to The Hogfather for those who don't get it). My mom got me and my sister to get out all the Christmas stuff and now the tree is up, decorated, and giving me a headache due to the tremendous amount of lights; most blinking in crazy fashions. We have new stockings, multiple decorations chilling around the house, and eleven small trees, one of which has a Purdue University theme, are scattered about the house. Even the palm tree in our house has green lights on it.

I don't really want too much for Christmas. I mean just some sort of materials for writing and drawing, shopping money, and love from my family and friends is all I will really need. Not going anywhere during the Christmas season but on New Year's my family will be going out to Costa Rica.

Oh God I just remembered I have school on Monday. No biggie though. My only assignment was to get some books on a current issue for a report and I did so everything's peachy keen. But everything will be crazy in the upcoming weeks due to finals coming up in just a few weeks. Thank God the play's over so I can finally get some proper sleep knowing I got my homework done on time.

XOXO,

He's a Family Guy

Yep. Instead of loading up on anime I've been obsessed with Family Guy.

So second day of school went so much better. I didn't feel like I was gonna pass out on the spot. I still need some folders for my Algebra binder and a couple book covers though I really don't see why I need book covers cause it's just a waste of paper. And it's not like they keep books from being damaged. Sure as heck didn't keep my Geometry book from getting water damage. Anyway, got some homework which wasn't too bad. As of now I need some stuff signed for Chemistry and a 35 dollar lab donation. I find it ridiculous that a lot of these science and art classes need to ask students for money just to have the necessary supplies. My art class required 50 bucks for the entire school year and each student only had 2 bucks for supplies. So I don't know why the school has to ask the parents for money just to be able to do anything in our classes but whatever...Wonder when the school will be able to make a couple smart decisions.

And so my weekend is slowly ending with finishing another James Patterson book, writing a little, and finishing my homework. Going to a belated baby shower today. I say belated in the fact that the doctors said the baby had some form of dwarfism and and he wasn't going to live but it turns out that the baby was really tiny and one birth later, he's been doing his best to gain weight and getting healthy. And so today we're going to throw a baby shower.

And I'm still debating with whether or not I wanna go to this Friday's school dance.

XOXO,

Family Reunion and Spoons

Title's pretty self explanatory. I had a family reunion with a lot of members on my step dad's side of the family. We had a big dinner with loads of barbecue goodies. And my sister made a rocket ship cake for the occasion. A green one to be exact. After dinner, we played a nice friendly game of spoons. In case you aren't familiar with the game, it's a card game in which you are to match four of a kind (Ex: Say you have the card 5, you match it with the symbols[spades, diamonds, etc.]). And if you match all four cards, you have to grab a spoon and then everyone else dives for a spoon. And when I say dive, I literally mean DIVE. And there's also one less spoons then there are people. Also, I may suggest not wearing any fancy nail stuff and cutting your nails prior to playing spoons cause there is a possibility of getting a flesh wound.

Don't think I have much to do for the rest of the weekend. Start school again on Monday and then it's Labor Day weekend and Demyx month A.K.A September. 2010 PLEASE SLOW DOWN!

XOXO,

WTF (Wednesday Thursday Friday)

So it's Friday..Finally! Me and my sister's computer still isn't working so we have to use our mom's computer for the time being. Anyway...

So today we got our lockers..sort of. Marina hasn't gotten her locker for whatever weird reason and I got my locker but the combination doesn't work. I thought I wasn't jotting down my combination right cause it's so weird and confusing so I asked two upperclassmen to help me open up my locker and it still wouldn't open. So I went to the office to talk to someone about it and guess what? The office was loaded with other kids with the exact same problem. 180 other students to be exact. It apparently has something to do with the new computer system or something that's messing everything up. Of course me and Marina still can use one of the assistant principal's office to store our crap until we can get the locker situation worked out. Oh well...it's the weekend and I don't feel like worrying so much about that now.

We had some friends over for a big dinner with lasagna, garlic bread, salad, atomic pie, the whole she-bang. And then we played a little game of Settlers (requires loads of strategy). And for tomorrow..Family reunion! So my house is gonna be filled with people and food. Lots of my mom's cooking.

Well, that's it for now. Gonna do some online role playing with my friend Kelly. G'night.

XOXO,
