Well I wrote you a nice long entry which was terribly descriptive and well worded then deleted the ENTIRE entry by accident and couldn't bring it back...*sobs heartily* I am SO not in the mood for that...
Anyway, lets begin with an account of today's events...
I woke up this morning at 9:30 after having another night of bizarre dreams...the last dream I remember having before waking up, was about me talking with some unknown person (seriously...in the dream the person wasn't even identified...but wait and let's clarify a little more...in the dream, I knew this person and knew them well, but this person is non existant in real life...and I am not covering anything up) on the internet and they were leaving but told me they enjoyed the talk and "*xo...xo*" "you are a joyful and important part of humanity"....>_> What the heck? I don't know but it made me really happy and all tingly inside...the person said it genuinely and to mark me out as being very special... ^_^ To tell the truth I wouldn't mind that kind of attention but it might weird me out...O.o I know that despite how pleasant that dream was, it weirds me out now...
I lounged in bed 'til 10:00am then got up and managed to get dressed, eat breakfast, do my laundry, vaccum my room and the basement stairs, and clean two of our bathrooms, by 11:15am...I felt so productive...All that in the span of an hour and fifteen minutes...very rewarding...then at about 11:30am my dad, sister and I left to go shopping and did not return until about 3:30pm...
But during that time we had a lot of fun...
In every store we went to with toys, we stopped off to look at Lord of the Rings: Return of the King toys...and man, that 12" "Barbie doll" Legolas was soooo hideous...something that horrendous looking shouldn't even be legal to sell in stores...he had a magnificent bow but his face was so ugly...man...Orlando Bloom's face is lovely but this Legolas doll's face was just monstrous...ew...Whereas the 12" Sauron doll was magnificent...he doesn't have a human face to screw up...besides the fact that he comes with a detachable ring finger...that could provide for hours of endless enjoyment...and then again on second thought, so could gouging the face off of the Legolas doll with a small steak knife...*gasp* I think I have something to add to my Christmas list... >:D MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*cough* Anyway to continue...I found another birthday present for my brother and am now done shopping...I got him a nice, heavy jacket from Old Navy...he desperately needed one...all he has now is a sweatshirt...not good warmth and protection in the snow...Well now that will be fixed...I think he will like the coat...and hopefully he enjoys the two books I got him...My sister also almost finished her shopping...She is not quite done yet and will need to go again tomorrow, although this time I can't come too... my youngest sister needs to get a gift for me still...of course, on the bright side, this means I won't have to go through the agony and embarrassment of watching my sister buy a Jump5 cd for one of my other sisters...well although I don't like the stuff, some do...and I won't make a big deal of it...
Besides the satisfaction of making good purchases, I also had a blast goofing off with my dad and sister. Today was utterly hilarious...it always is...I will illustrate two of the highlights of our conversation and one of those "What were they thinking?" moments about crazy drivers...
The three of us formulated a plan for a wildly successful restaurant which would hold semi organized food fights or let a person rent out our facilites to hold their own private food fight parties...Could you imagine? Office lunch outings with the bottled rage of employees as they gleefully throw cream pies and hanfuls of spaghetti at their bosses without restraint! Downright droll man... The ultimate way to celebrate one's sweet 16...with a food fight! High School graduation? You guessed it...food fight...Utterly priceless...ha...and no stealing our idea eh? You could always just come work for us... ;)
We also drove by a limousine company which was hiring chauffeurs...my dad immediately said that he should apply...he claimed he would do perfectly as a getaway driver for high profile customers...then he launched into wild (and side splittingly hilarious) scenarios of crazy and (in a stretch limo) impossible feats of driving...It was fantasitic...I wish i could remember the driving techniques he described but I can't...trust me though, it was funny...
And then "what were they thinking?" We were in a left turn lane that was literally not going anywhere. There was a non stop stream of oncoming traffic which prevented anyone from turning when the light was green, and the signal refused to turn to a green arrow...it was ridiculous...so some impatient drivers decided to u turn on red in front of oncoming traffic across double yellow lines...Great drivers eh? You really wonder who these people think they are that they can do that...
And now I am home and writing this entry...but I am not through yet...
Christmas draws closer and my feelings of bah humbug Scrooge, bitter cynicality continues...it is not made any better by my mother's rampant spirit of commercialism...we don't have enough stuff on our tree, she doesn't have enough stuff to put under it, there are not enough decorations on or in the house, and just argh...it is crazy...she will continue stressed, dissatisfied and unhappy until the Christmas decorations come down after New Year's day...then she will be be unhappy, stressed and dissatisfied with the way the holiday season went down and what is to come after...ridiculous...never ending...she is precisely like Martha in the story of Mary and Martha and Jesus...yess...and that isn't funny at all...
We also picked up a Christmas tree...what a day that was...ha...we simply went to home depot and browsed through their meager selection whilst I tried not to make eyes at a boy nigh my age there with his father...I know, I am getting really bad aren't I...I want friends darn it...I am lonely man...but anyway, we quickly found a tree and got it home...we proceeded to decorate it that night...The children insisted on attempting to reach up and put the ornaments on the highest branches...and clump them together or have them fall off because they are too short to hang them that high...leave it to the oldest and as of yet the tallest...my sister and me...had to keep reminding them of that...at least this year there were fewer ornaments to move around...I remember previous years when they were younger and I spent almost the entire duration of hanging ornaments, spreading out the clumps that the three youngest would make...it is rather frustrating...at least they are getting older and more capable of properly placing ornaments now...
What else...nothing much else I suppose... I have been the victim of my own violent emotional outbreaks...I fear other people have been also...*sigh* I just cannot help it...between my anti Christmas spirit, my mother's antics, bickerings and complainings, other things, and the constant onslaught of teenage hormones, I am a bigger mess than usual...fun fun fun...tyeah right...
