clodia_risaI spent Thanksgiving at home. Well - in my hometown. I've had three homes in two years, and Atlanta feels more like my home. So it was my immediate family (whom I love!) my mom's parents (my dad's parents are dead) and my mom's older brother and family. First off - my uncle, aunt, and cousin drive my entire immediate family crazy! They are spoiled and neurotic. 'Nuff said. My grandfather is slowly dying (near blind, deaf, and very depressed) and its depressing to all. He's a good guy. And my grandmom drives me crazy. Now - you have to realize that I'm the only granddaughter, so she tries to spoil me. She's also big on touching and invading my personal space. I don't like her to touch me. It makes me edgy to have her within two feet of me. So when she's standing three inches away from me in line, I have to move aside quickly. Sorry, grandmom, love ya, but don't like ya, you annoy me, and dont EVER touch me!
So - happy parts of the weekend. Not Matt - he was with his family. Next year I want to go to Thanksgiving with him. Meet all of the extended family. Take a break from mine - mmmmmm...weekend with Matt. Sigh...couldn't sleep in same room/bed. *whine* Anyway - mom and I got along great. Stayed up till 1:30 in the morning talking. And then she had to get up at six to go to work (hah!). Bill and I (brother) got along well. Dad and I got along as well as usual - he gets on my nerves sometimes. On a sad note, I realized that I'll never really be able to get mom's approval. I mean - she approves and is proud of me, but I'm studying to be Wiccan. She hates the occult - not in the "going to hell" sense - but in the "afraid I will join a cult and never seem me again because all occult is bad and will corrupt her little girl and thats the only thing besides being anti-social that shes ever had to worry about me" sense. So no...no sudden admissions of being wicca for me. On the plus side, its going well. I've feeling confident about my path, and I'm able to work through some of my frustration with Christianity. Its not christianity, its just certain people/types - mostly the people who shouldn't be called christians but crazies. But I'm having to work everything out. It's coming.
What else - got a ticket. $210 for doing 71 in a 55 zone with construction. Fuck. OOH! Saw Love Actually! Was WONDERFUL! All of it! The rockstar was scary. Saw Nightmare before Xmas, the original Christmas in Conneticut, Muppet Xmas Carol (is there a theme - yes indeed.) BTW - MCC is the best version of Xmas Carol EVER! I looooooooooooooooooooooooooove Michael Caine. He's the one that got me started on the Brit-ophilia.
Want to see Matt. Don't want to do homework.
Also - watched the last half of the AtS Season 2 - omg. Pylea. Fred. WESLEY! Angel....cute angel. WESLEY! Gunn...sigh....Lorne. WESLEY! CORDY! WESLEY! LINDSEY!!!!!! WESLEY!!!! sigh........gotta love Angel. It's better than Buffy, you know. Much less serious....or is it just less campy. It takes itself more seriously at the right parts and has more funniness. And the characters are more complex and self-aware and more adult.
I've been getting Matt to watch Buffy (we're on season 2 so far) and he likes it pretty well. I think he'll like Angel better.
So yeah....can't think of much more to say. Don't want to do Greek. Want Matt. Glad I'm with my friends. Want Matt.
