Happy Holidays???
Well, its been an awfully long time since I've even thought about updating my journal. Its crossed my mind, and I still read my friends' entries, but for some reason, I found myself way too busy to tend to my own. Anyways, Thanksgiving and Christmas have passed. Good holidays, nothing too extravagant. Last year, on Thanksgiving Eve the alternator in my car busted in that horrific snow storm. Well, sure enough, this year on Christmas Eve, my car wouldn't start and was stranded at Gormans. Fuel pump I think? Whatever it was cost a pretty penny. So, I was then stuck at home for a few days with no car. Thank goodness Joe got me a book for Christmas because it gave me something to do and I read the whole darn thing in one sitting practically. I actually, for once in a very long time, appreciated just being at home and doing home things. I just watched TV, and movies and such, but it was comforting to have my mom just a room away from me. I've also gotten to hang out with some fabulous people lately. The Metamorons that I never really get a chance to see even over break. Im always so caught up in Bradley World that I never go back to my roots. I really appreciate my friends more than I ever thought I would either. I know we all have our flaws, but it just comes down to caring. It comes down to people who will flock to you when youre balling in the bathroom of Kellehers for example. Hahaha. It also comes down to a friend that will be there at the drop of the hat if you just pick up the phone. I need to surround myself with these people more often. I really hate being walked away from, which has also happened quite a bit lately. I guess I am so used to wearing my emotions on my sleeve, and it drives me nuts to "communicate" with someone who builds up a giant wall. If I only knew karate, I would ninja kick that wall right down.
Anyways, on a happier note, I got some money for Christmas and I've actually been able to do some shopping, which always makes me jump for joy. I considered writing a big fat check to Tazewell county to cover my speeding ticket, but I decided that would ruin Christmas, so that's were work will have to come into play. I'm going to have FUN with my Christmas money, though I should probably just save it for the possible move to California. I also decided to let that decision wait. I need to make sure everything is kosher here with my family before I leave them. I have to stick around to see my nephew and if James gets engaged. (Jeremy)
I know my parents are more than proud of me, but I still feel the need to be the obscure child far away doing something with their life. I know my mom tells stories about me to her friends at work. Stories that come from me being 20 minutes away. As much as she doenst want to see me go though, I know shed be proud if I moved and started my big girl life.
Well, this has turned into a super entry. I really want to start writing my book over break. I have this desire to write a comical book about the hassles of being in nursing school. Student nurses are such a unique group of people, that I really think it would be appreciated. Maybe if I get bored enough, I'll give it a shot. Even if it totally sucks (which it probably will) I can give it to my friends as a graduation present. Hell, I dont know. Its funny because I get SO motivated when I'm hungover. I cant get over how odd that is! Like I want to do all of these things, but I feel too crappy to actually do them. Hahaha.
On that note, I think I need to go pick up my car and most likely nap!
Love ya all, each and every.
