Christmas

I’m supposed to make a post at the end of the year, right? Seems like that’s what everyone’s doing.
It’s been a good year.
Anyways, break’s been good so far. I’ve stayed in Irvine. I went to my mom’s in Orange though on the 23rd. I bought my stepdad Cinderella Man, and we watched it that night. It was pretty good.
We spent Christmas Eve at my Aunt’s house in Redondo. The kids are so cute. I gave out marinated cheese that I made for most of my family. I gave the kids a Sonic compilation for GameCube though. I think they liked it. gem came over that day so she got to meet my family. That was fun. I gave my grandfather a UCI t-shirt.
Christmas day was spent at my mom’s house. She made turkey, and it was really delicious. I gave my mom some candles and my dad a twinkie holder, some twinkies, and a UCI mug.
I got money, some assorted snacks, and a really cool shirt. I was happy.
At the end of the day, my stepdad surprised us with extra gifts. He gave me extra money, he gave my stepbrother a Crate amp, and he gave my brother a PSP with 1 GB stick, SOCOM, and Terminator 2. James loves it!
gemma also gave my mom a really nice shadow box she made for her. My mom gave her a bracelet and a cookbook. I gave gem an iTrip and a pillow, and she gave me a headset.
I came back home on the 26th. It was good to be back at my place, which does bring up a slightly different subject. Why does everyone rush away from their schools to go back to their parents? They claim they’re going home, but they spend most of their time at their apartment/house out here, so they’re really leaving home. I’m thinking it’s because people aren’t able to make new friends. They go “home” to see their friends, but um… I don’t really talk to people from high school very often. It’s not that I don’t like them, but how can they be my friends? They’re no where near me. And what can I have in common when we goto different schools?
Anyways, I’ve just been hanging out with gemma, playing games on my TX, watching movies, etc. I finally got around to watching Child’s Play. It’s a piece of shit.
And tonight, party at Chris’s. Good times!
