Obligatory Xmas Day Entry
Again, hope everyone reading this who celebrates it had a good Xmas! Today turned out better than expected for me.
I didn't get a whole lot, but my parents DO pay my portion of the rent, and will be pitching in for the new brakes my car's getting this week, so it would be stupid of me to complain. Overall, I got some gift certificates from my parents, Rich gave me money for the DVD of Sweeney Todd that I ordered off of Amazon (plus we've gone out to eat several times in the past few weeks and he ended up paying for me then too), and one of my aunts/uncles gave me some money. Nothing crazy.
Anyway, we ended up going to my relatives' house for dinner and you may remember how I recently wrote that this particular aunt/uncle were not too kind towards me in the past. I think today went well though. We even all got into a convo about how the state of the world is turning to shit, although I couldn't exactly agree with my uncle's proclamation that *unions* are responsible for most of the problems! I'm not even going to get into it, but unfortunately I felt the need to bite my tongue rather than argue. My family is mostly hard-headed Republicans, so even if I had raised some points, they wouldn't have listened to me so I just didn't bother. It was kinda funny though, because my Mom knows I'm part of the IWW and a union supporter in general, and she definitely gave me a look after my uncle started saying they are the scourge of the earth, heh.
Otherwise, the evening was fine. I ate a TON of food, but hell, that's what the holidays are for. Plus, all I took home with me were some Lindt truffles, and I'm sure if they're still here when the guys get back from Texas, I won't have to worry about them being around for long. :p hehe
It was scary when I got back to the apartment tonight though. I opened the front door and although all the lights were off (as I left them, since I stayed at my parents' condo last night), the TV was on! O_o;;; Although we don't live in a *bad* area, you seriously never know, and I'm a bit paranoid anyway. So I got out my cell phone and pretended I was talking to someone as I walkd slowly throughout the place with a knife in hand, checking all the closets, etc. When I went into Rich's room I noticed that his clock was flashing 12:00 though, and that the clock on the oven also said PF, so the power must have gone out for some reason. Still have no idea why that would turn the TV on, but. . .?
I had another moment of sadness last night. I found out that Jonathan (yay!) is going to be in a new musical in NYC this spring. I believe it's called Awake and Sing! and that it's something about a Jewish family during the Great Depression. Yeah, I don't know, I just read a quick summary of it. Of course I want to see it, but I have no idea if I'll be able to afford the trip to NY and the ticket all on my own and you already know I'm going to say that it won't be the same without Rich there. He's the only one who knows the full extent of my Jonathan love, hehe. I just feel like there's more that *we* wanted to do in NYC and now we'll never get the chance to. :( Grrrr, I don't like APC anymore. Are their buildings made of something flammable? >:(
Well, I'm gonna go read, I think. My next entry will probably be the one you've all been waiting for, so I hope you're prepared! hehe
