17.6

Now that the themed part is over, it feels weird. I don't know what to do with myself. It made it easier to choose songs. But it also made it a little harder, because there are only SO MANY you can pick. And then you have this huge list of songs you still want to use, but you can't because it's over. Anyways. I hope you all had a nice Christmas. Mine wasn't bad. We played Trouble, and Yum (which is pretty much the Canadian version of Yahtzee, but more fun because now I'm old enough to understand how dice work) and we ate some crackers and cheese. We started the turkey a bit before noon, and because my mom thought it would be a good idea to cook it SLOWLY, we didn't get to eat until 9. And I'm exhausted. I've been tired since noon. But then I had to eat, and then I did dishes (not fun on Christmas) and now I can't sleep because my mom is drunk and, as always, too loud.

And we started watching Lord of the Rings (Return of the King) around 3, but their friends came over unannounced (IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVIE) and kind of ruined it for me. I mean, I was kind of excited to just have a family day. And now it's all... grown-up talk time. It's almost midnight and they're still here. It would be fine if I knew them, but it's just kind of awkward. Which is why I've basically been in my room since they arrived. It would also be fine if they talked about interesting things, but while I was washing dishes, the conversation went from the volcano in the Philippines, to pillows. And I was washing dishes for a while. But they only talked about those two things. I just want to go to bed.

And I'm dead. That's basically me saying, enough complaining. Today's song is going to beeeee... nevermind, we had that one. I'd Rather Dance With You by Kings of Convenience. I am really enjoying this band. Got their whole discography already. They're one of those bands with five versions of every song. It's nice. Not sarcasm, I actually enjoy it.

HAPPY... BOXING DAY. Love you, and miss you terribly.
