Christmas 2010!!

Woot! Christmas was amazing! But, my dog was sick, so that was kinda a downer. On the flip side, I got a new guitar, a really nice one too. I'm really excited to have my friends over so we can all rock out. Other than that, I got a Rubik's Cube, (I broke the last one on accident), a nice pair of earrings, and socks, as well as a 25 dollar gift card to Barnes And Noble.
Today we went shopping, and I got a coat. YAY!!!!
I have homework over break, (thank you AP Euro for ruining my life!), so I should probably be doing that at the moment instead of writing this, but I just can't seem to find the energy to get started. In other words, I really don't want to do homework on the vacation. What's the point of taking a holiday if you can't take a holiday?

Christmas is HERE!!!!

Just a few more days until Christmas! I just got back from visiting my grandmother in Portland, to find that it had snowed almost ten inches here in Bend! I haven't really thought that much about the difference between the weather in Portland and the weather in Bend, not further than the obvious differences in any case. But really, in Portland, one would expect that it wouldn't be as cold as it is in Bend. And maybe temperature-wise, it's not, but it feels so much colder. I suppose because it's dry in Bend and so the cold isn't always hanging in the air, but while I was in Portland, it was always so gray and there was this constant chill that seeped into the bones. NO FUN AT ALL!!!

Anyways, Christmas is nearly here, and all over Bend there are decorations. It's not to be a downer or anything like that, but Christmas carols get really old after about the fifty-billionth time of hearing them. But I don't mind, because they make people happy, and it's nice I suppose to be able to feed off of other people's joy. (Wow, sorry, that seems really creepy.) What I mean is that happiness is sort of contagious, and when everyone around me is happy, it makes me happy too.

Friday... Come faster please...

Thursday night. O, woe is me!!! (Yes, I know nobody with any sort of social awareness says something like "O, Woe is me!!!, but I believe I have already established the fact that I have very few social skills to speak of.) I wish Friday would come faster. Then, I would be comforted knowing that it would be the last day of school before a two week long vacation!!

I'm going to Portland and will be there until Wednesday. Then, I will be back in bend for Christmas, and then, back in Portland for New Years!!! EEEKKK!!!

Had an interesting discussion about the end of the world today during lunch. Devised several new (and mostly ridiculous) theories of how the world might end, none of which are very likely to occur EVER. Anyhow, they were still fun to talk about.
I find that I am beginning to enjoy sociable and frivolous conversation. The sort of fluff that is all joking and laughing and no one's really very serious about what they say. Can't say whether this is a step forward or backward in the development of mature social skills, but I suppose there's a time for maturity, and a time to be a sophomore in high school. If I've learned nothing else from talking about the end of the world, I've at least learned that much.

Almost Christmas YAY!!!

Christmas break is almost here! I have never been more ready. It seems like I haven't had time for anything other than schoolwork recently. It really doesn't help that some of my classes are rather pointless because I'm not learning anything in them. It really bothers me when I don't learn anything in school, because it defeats the whole purpose of even going to class. There's loads of ways I would rather be spending my time --- never mind. I lied. No, there aren't that many other ways I would rather be spending my time than in school. I have no life.

Anyways, I haven't updated in forever, so I'm going to try and do a bit more of this. Sorry if you've been checking in and I've been disappointing you.
