it's always better to give than recieve. =)
but i feel bad when i recieve but dont give. =/
i love how christmas is all about family, friends, the sharing, the caring, everything good. haha.. christmas is my favorite holiday, yet.. i dont feel it this year. i feel like scrooge for being so grumpy or the grinch for not being in the holiday spirit. i love this break because it's allowing me to be.. "home sweet home" for at least 8 days. <3 there have been so many changes since i've been back home and it just shows.. change happens whether you're there or not and you have to live with it. and i find great pleasure in being able to lounge around, watch movies, use the house phone, sleep in, have no excess noise in the house, cook/use the kitchen, run around the house & make a whole lot of noise. really - it's great. & not having school or work to worry about is ALWAYS a PLUS!! =)
being back always brings back a whole lot of good memories.
it's random, but i thought about how christmas 2002 (i think) he came all the way to drop off a present. "i'm coming to drop off FRUiTCAKE!" .. 'kay.. sureee..?' it feels like a piece is missing. but these memories are good to look back on. i treasure that polar bear. <3
so really, we should keep up this christmas dinner thing. i love seeing everyone's faces. i love how we stay "in touch." even if it's not a daily chat or even a weekly chat i know we're going to hang out once we're all back in vegas. i love looking forward to christmas (or the break) because i know we'll get together for sure. <3
although there are always the downsides, i'm choosing to ignore it & not let it bother me. i've made my effort, it's your turn. you cant bother me. no unnecessary stress or drama. i'm good. i'm content.
* have a MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! <3

lessons learned today:
- parking @ chinatown sucks right now, so just.. dont go. ooh.. malls too! -.-
- dont go to supercuts ever again. =) i think if youre used to getting your hair cut a certain way & you go to a new place, it's just.. no.
- eating 3 meals of mcdonalds for 30 days DOES mess a person up. physically & emotionally. (thank you, 'super size me'!)
- "be around people that care about you as you do them. if not dont even bother. its just pointless and emotionless." - my other half's journal
break in vegas is passing by FAST! i wont be able to see EVERYone, which sucks. but i'm glad i got/get to see the people i did/will! <3

i want to sleep. really. i do.
time has become nonexistent. everything's a blurr.
i hate wanting to please everybody. cause then i get more BLAH.
there's too much shit for me to handle. feeling things i should & shouldnt feel. or want to feel. maybe there's too much on my plate. i should go on a diet & starve myself. harhar. lame. whatever.
but really - if i cant handle this - how will i handle "real life"? mm.. YEA. no comment. seriously. when i think about it, i feel like i have no work ethic. i'm so lazy when i want to be.
i miss being able to go out every weekend. priorities. whatever.
but i know: i cant wait to see my family this weekend. <33333

i give up caring. really? mm.. sometimes.
indifferent attitude towards life. can i? no.
people need to stop. but will they? not likely.
make it end. no. i need to learn.
if you dont want to, fine.
give advice? but i dont listen.
sleep. a waste. but not.
no sense = nonsense?

i'm so bitter right now.
and i feel FAKE!! yuck.
i've learned (over and OVER AGAiN!) that people come & go in my life.. me being "fake" is my pathetic attempt at salvaging what's left of that "friendship".. whatever. waste of my TIME?! having less than a handful of people i talk to every other day is good enough for ME!
friendships fade. people drift. we live our own lives.
i dont like it when people realize they've done something wrong, yet dont do anything to fix it. it bothers me. but it shouldnt be bothering me! people are people! nobody's perfect! ugh..
does any of this make sense? no? k. youre not supposed to understand it. =)
i'm hungry. and my fingers are cold. k bye.
------------------------------------------
d: dont let people take advantage of you NICENESS!! that is my only concern for you!
d: dont be affraid to be mean!
d: if you have to say "fuck you" to someone...freakin YELL IT!!!
d: if you cant then you cant. its not ur fault. u have a life outside of their life!
d: u can only do so much. ur not superman/woman!
d: just being there should be enough!
