Okay, so I've been an absolute HORRIBLE blogger as of late. I don't know what's wrong with me. I mean I've had tons of stuff to update on since this summer but I just haven't and... idk. I apologize. It's like, even though everything's been going on and it's been crazy, nothing really mattered? Or not so much that I wanted to think about it and dedicated time to writing about it. I haven't even been journaling much recently. It's been a hard few months, but still, no worse than normal I suppose. I don't know if that's supposed to make me feel better or worse. :-P

Anyway, so how was everybody's Christmas? Mine was okay. Went pretty much how it always does. We opened family presents on Sat night (23rd), which actually was a rarity. But we spent Sunday down at my grandparents in GA with the extended fam (YUM for bbq chicken!!! lol) and then went to my greatgrandmother's in Norway, SC on Monday. That was ok. I don't really know many people from that side of the family, so it was kinda weird. Plus, over Thanksgiving we gave Motney (my g-grandma) copies of my Senior pictures and she had all 5 (yes, FIVE) set up in a prominent place on the kitchen counter. So it was a little strange for everyone (that I don't know) to be like, "Oh, you're the girl from the pictures..." lol and having to see myself every time I went in there to get something. But oh well. No harm done I suppose.

We got home late Monday night. I had a dentist appointment Wed and we had family pictures done yesterday afternoon (joy, I looked like crap as usual, *gag* but I've got some new stuff I'm trying on my face that'll hopefully clear things up a bit *crossing fingers*). It was actually really funny because H.W. kept having problems taking pictures for some reason (whereas I only had to have mine taken once and I was done, heh heh, I'm the model in the family - not to be conceited, I'm serious! I've always taken good pictures, even when I was little and a modeling agency actually wanted to put me to work when I was a sophomore but I choose my music over a modeling career - for the moment anyway, lol, anyone want my autograph? j/k) and the 20yr old girl taking the pictures (who made sure I knew she was 20) was totally flirting with him. lol.

Other than that not much unusual has been going on. Family crap as always, but I'm used to that. It hasn't been as bad as normal, so I've managed to escape from most of it (except when I kinda went to this movie I wasn't supposed to go to last Friday... *cough cough*). Basically I've been getting up to watch ER from 10-12, practiced instruments (I got an electric violin + amp for christmas, can anyone say cool? lol) and been on the computer until 4 when I watch Melrose Place (don't laugh, it's a good show as long as they've got Amanda in it, she's played by Heather Locklear). Then I do some more average things you do on break until after supper when I watch Alias until bedtime at 12 and usually get to bed about 2ish. lol. And don't start lecturing me about being unproductive. I haven't been able to relax like this (yes, this is relaxing for me) in years, so I deserve to be a little lazy for... *calculate* 4 more days.

I'm not counting tomorrow in that figuring because I have church and then ice skating with the youth that night. Fun fun! I'm actually really excited. I haven't gone ice skating since this summer in Australia (their winter) and I really liked it. I'm just hoping it doesn't hurt my toe very much. I broke that in July, as Squishy and everyone well remembers. It's supposed to be "healed" by now but something's wrong with it. It won't bend at all. I've got to set up another appointment with the podiatrist. They might actually have to break it again and/or put me in physical therapy. YAY!!! *sarcasm*

Anyway, so after this very long unimportant rambling about useless crap you didn't want to know, I'll leave you fellow bloggers be. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and I'd love to hear from you all! tty again in another 5 or 6 months when I decided to update. lol
