the fantastically sucky christmas party
Ugh. Our little christmas gathering didn't go so well this year. Adam and I got there around 8:00 or so, and basically just sat around until 11:30, when Carla and her boyfriend Loaf showed up. Joe G. pulled the most ultimately fuck-nutish move in the entire galaxy and decided not to come. After days of trying to get ahold of him, he finally called Joe back. As it turns out, he actually forgot all about it, but after he was reminded he decided that he'd rather sleep. His excuse was that he didn't have presents for anyone yet, but he knows perfectly well that no one cares about that. All he needed to do was plop his ass on the couch and look pretty, but nooooo, he couldn't do that. Whatever. I'll give his present to my brother or something.
So there was no lasagna, there was no yummy white chocolate raspberry cheesecake from the Olive Garden, and there was no real merry-making. It was just the five of us, sitting in Joe's living room, exchanging gifts. I mean, it was fun, but compared to last year it sucked a big fatty. I got some fun things, though:
3 Shakira CDs - Pies Descalzos, Donde Estan Los Ladrones?, and MTV Unplugged
2 Poe CDs - Hello and Haunted
A faery necklace
A faery fountain (!)
The Bj�rk book
A magnifying paperweight thing in the shape of a crab
The Bj�rk book rocks, the faery fountain is really cool looking despite the fact that I have no idea how to put it together, and I'm so happy to have new CDs. Well, they aren't really new, per se, but they're new to me because I've been listening to the same 5 CDs for way too long. The most amazing thing is that the Haunted CD is red! I almost wet myself when I saw it. My old one was red, and it made me so happy because everyone else had a black CD. When my CD case was stolen, I was so pissed because I knew I'd have to buy a new one and I was sure it would be black. But it's red! It's red it's red it's red!!!!
*laughs* I think maybe I'm a little too excited about this. Oh, and the crab thing was from Carla, because I'm a cancer. It's kind of scary, but I guess that's too be expected from a paperweight in the shape of a crustacean.
Something that I'm not excited about: going to the dentist tomorrow. I have an appointment at 10:30 a.m. and I'm debating whether or not I should even go. For one thing, I don't have enough gas to get to Harrisburg and back. For another, my dentist sucks and wants to give me a root canal for christmas. I don't want to drive out there and then have him tell me that even though he told me I wouldn't have to have one, I do, and I should set up an appointment right away. Then he'll send me home, and I'll have to go back some other time. *groans* My tooth hurts. He was supposed to fill it weeks ago. My dentist is a foul, sadistic man and I do not like him at all.
back & forth
Wait, there's more!
