Monday, December 26th, 2005[Entry 437]three days...
Happy belated holiday wishes to everyone!
I had a good Christmas. Spent the entire day with my fam. The first task of the morning was going to McDonald's for breakfast with my mom. We found one close by that was open... however, we go to the window to pick up our shit and discover their pop machine was broken or some shit. All I wanted was a Coke! I was so pissed! Every other McDonald's in the area was closed...so no Coke for me. Or ma.
We had an awesome dinner. My dad made faux fried chicken. We also had a Quorn roast (which I thought was hella yummy). There was ham, too. But only my dad ate the real stuff. We totally pigged out. I could have exploded, I think. A couple of hours later, we found out Young's Chinese was open and ordered take out. I wasn't even all that hungry but I ate more food. Yum, yum, yum. And I hardly ate any shit food yesterday...which was awesome. Because I have been eating so much chocolate...and I feel like shit as a result. Ick.
Not that presents are everything about Christmas...I do like to recap in here what I got since I never remember these things...and everyone done good this year...
Gen and Aaron got me something I knew I wanted but I totally forgot I wanted. They got me the two Six Feet Under soundtracks and the latest SFU book Reading Six Feet Under: TV To Die For. Seriously a perfect gift! And it's so hard to listen to Breathe Me by Sia (the last song from the last episode). Listening to the cd last night...it was the first time I heard that song since the last episode airred. It all just makes me that much more anxious for Season Five to come out on DVD. I only watched the last episode once...I had it on my DVR saved. I was trying to work my way into watching it again...and then my DVR pooped out and I had to get a new one and all my saved stuff was lost. And by that time, the last episode wasn't available on On Demand.
My brother got me a gift certificate for a massage. Which I must admit, I am excited about because I've never gotten a massage. He had very cute reasoning for me needing one, "Jess could really use one because of those shoes she wears." :-)
My maw and paw got me some diamond stud earrings, Aveda shampoo & conditioner, jigsaw puzzles, and a water bottle (these were the four main wishes I reaaaaaaally wanted so I was thrilled I got them all). I also got some more earrings, a purse, two books (Freakonomics : A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything and A Million Little Pieces), a Molton Brown gift set, Kenneth Cole Black perfume, and some candles.
Watched a lot of stuff on the television yesterday...Scary Movie 3. Mallrats. Diet for a New America (which everyone should watch; I keep feeling like I am some freak for not eating meat and sometimes I feel like, "maybe I'll try to start and eat chicken again..." and I'm sorry, after watching this video, I was like fuck it...I don't care if I continue to be an odd one out because I don't eat meat). Then there was some spats because dad and Aaron wanted to watch James Bond movies and um, everyone else was not into that...cause Gen was more interested in fixing Ryan's dreadlocks.
Eventually the James Bond movie ended and Ryan and Aaron kept getting into stupid debates. No matter what Gen tried to do to distract them from the debating, they started up again. So I ran into the basement and grabbed some family movies and that solved everything. We ended up watching home videos until 1:00 in the morning.
All in all, really good Christmas. Would've been better if my Grandma weren't such a party pooper and she joined us...but there's no use in fighting with her...
