Home Again!

Finally! I mean, I love partying and all that, but damn it's nice to be back home with my shower and my toothbrush.
So, the weekend. Off to a good start, met Dave -who nearly scared the life out of me when he just snuck up on me like that!- and went and bought Kathryn birthday cards. Then to the arcade! Hahaha...DDR hurts my feet, but I am happy because I love that game uber-much. And then we went to dinner at a really fancy restaurant. I felt kind of out of place in my Christmas Monkey Pom-pom socks, but the food was really nice, and I wanted to help pay but Dave insisted that I didn't, which makes me feel kinda bad. But then we went to Kensington and wandered for a bit, went to Cody and Marina's, which was delightfully fun. After a few hours, we ajourned to Kathryn's with Elissa. On the train there were some drunk guys, and we discussed games with them. So, upon arrival at Kathryn's, it became apparent to me that she lives practically across the street from Kari! I was considering going to say hello, but I figured she wasn't home yet. Kathryn Palooza was quite fun, with Mario Kart, and cake, and it was nice seeing some of the other grade twelves and the old art geeks I used to hang out with that I haven't seen in a year or more. So that was nice. And apart from being really cold, I had a blast. The big loud moments with the others, the quiet secret moments with Dave. They were special.
The next morning, after I woke up and heard stories of Dustin puking-I guess I slept right through it-I headed off to Elizabeth's house. Except I was late because I thought I left my purse at Kathryn's but it was in my bag the whole time. Anyway, we baked cookies and made lots of yummy desserts, and watched movies and fell asleep at about 3:00 am. My mother picked me up, we went grocery shopping, got our Christmas tree, and then I came home and slept for a while. We decorated the tree, and it is so cute. I named him Charlie, because I am unoriginal when it comes to naming the tree. It's the perfect shape, with all of our cute and shining ornaments, and all of the mysterious-well, most of them are-presents nestling under there. There are a lot, and I think they're really cool. But the best part is that I don't need a single one. I already have everything I want for Christmas. : )

Musical Quote of the Day

"Over and over
I'm filled with emotion
Your love it rushes through my veins
And I am filled
With the sweetest devotion
As I look into your perfect face"

-I don't remember the artist...CD: Shrek Soundtrack Track: 4 Title: It Is You I Have Loved
A tiny part of me that likes sappy pop songs likes that song.
