nova_myth Okay my Christmas started on Christmas Eve. My best friends went to the movies with me most of the day. First my friend patatoa_part2 and I went to see The Golden Compass. I liked it a lot, and will put it on my to get DVD list. I really hope they plan and do a sequel well. His family invited me to stay for their Christmas Eve dinner. Very good mash potatoes, glazzed ham, and yams. We hung out at his house for a few more hours before I left to meet up with my other best friend who lived in the city for another movie. We saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Very good too, same rythem as the first and funny too. I hope they do a thrid, last scenes left a possible plot line idea like they did with Jack Sparrow in World's End but not as telling. After that she heads to her house to get clothes and such, we're planning a slumber night. Only as I get the guest bed set up that she calls saying her mother was called in for the morning. So I drive over with all my presents. The orginal plan was to sleep at my house and then go over to her house with presents to open with everyone.
Her younger brother was born on Christmas Day. So we all stay up the last half hour to midnight. He hads a chocolate cover cake with chocolate covered strawberrys. I took pictures as he blew out the candels, we took group photos and then we started to open presents. Everything went well... until I opened my present from my Uncle. It was a book on how to guide on building bird houses and how to attract birds.
WTF!?
I sent him a text around mid-day later, saying "I think you sent me the wrong gift". Amazon had sent me some kids gift three weeks earlier instead of a package from another friend's mom. So I was like, what another mess up.
Nope. I get an e-mail from him. It was a book to spark interests. .... o.O WHAT?! Stupid ass, I don't have tools, time, nor do I want such an interest!
DX
I am not pleased one bit. What the hell could have gone wrong? I've tried for years and years since I was a kick to clue him into what I like, who I am, cause its brainless as a goat on me. Its so stupid! He did great on my birthday, wasn't anything on my amazon wish list but it was in my interests damn it and now this?! On Christmas?! ARGH!
Ugh.
So my friend and I pack all my stuff into my car with her stuff for the night and I once again I drove home. It was well past 1 am by that time. We stayed up only a little long talking before crashing. We got up at 1:50pm. A call from her mom and I was invited to her family's dinner out. Which turned out after an hour of socializing on their part. My friend is from Iran, and I am kinda use to just sitting there watching. They're so lively however and they do try to include me sometimes its fun. After another few hours debating and searching for a place open on Christmas day we ended up at Crabby Jacks. ugh, bad food but it was fun. We ironicly got seated near a helium tank and well... high voices followed. They were so short of staff they didn't get caught, it was funny! That was the first 3 hour dinner I have ever been to that was fun as hell!
After that we went back to my friends house and changed and a little over an hour later at 11pm we headed to the theater for Aliens Vs Predator Requiem. So much better than the first AVP, and paid homaged to the original Alien and Predator movies. Another to add to my buy list when its on DVD. I love predators, they're so cooL!
So my Christmas started on the 24th, ended on the 26th. There were a few big let downs, among my friend stationed in Germany didn't get his present in time. But over all I think it went great for all the chaos.
