November 22, 2006 The trip down to Virginia was okay. We had sweet music, thanks to me finding the good rock stations. =] We hit a rain storm and we were stuck in traffic for like an hour. And it took ten hours with only one quarrel between Mum and I. November 23, 2006 Happy Thanksgiving! Mine was okay. We went to my Aunt Linda's house. Of course, talked to my cousin Andrew for most of it. I don't think he understands that we're so different. He called me a commie & an anarchist. [Go figure!] He invited me to go see Let's Go to Prison with him and his friends. I declined, which was probably a bad decision. =/ Ooooh, I watched Al Gore's film, An Inconvient Truth & I highly recommend it to everybody. I don't care if you HATE Al Gore, it's a movie that is actually worth seeing. November 24, 2006 Happy Black Friday! Ugh, I was left in the house with my Grandfather until my Grandmum got home and told me that my rents were at my Aunt Lisa's house. IT made me mad because they left at 11 to go get the permit or something to build the house, and they told me it was going to be like 30 minutes. NOT FOUR HOURS. But my mum made up for it. Her, Eric, and I went shopping in Christiansburg. In hallmark, I got 3 boxes of Christmas cards. In TJ MAXX there wasn't any Converse. It was soooo depressing! But, I got a scarf for Brianne and a hat for myself. An Audrey Hepburn-like hat. =] Then I went to Michaels and got candles for Aunt Linda, Aunt Lisa, Eric, Amy, and Grandma. & two things of incense for Mum & Eric. && then in Barnes & Knobles I got my mum Bruce Springsteen on Tour: '86 to '05 [or something like that!] && I also got Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews And some other things too... Novemer 25, 2006 One month till Christmas! I wrappy gifts today. Nothing too awesome. We went to dinner at my Aunt Lisa's house. That was good. Then Andrew and I went to Wal-Mart to pick up supplies that he needed for school. And then we picked up his friend Luis. Man, oh man! Sooooo good looking! And very nice. =] So, we got back to my Aunt's and they went downstairs and watched college football. & I sat with my Aunts upstairs, but they were really boring! So I went downstairs and went on the computer. & Luis comes over to me and we start talking. =] He's nineteen, goes to Virginia Tech, originally from Peru, was adopted, does gymnastics, and did I happen to mention that he's good looking? Oh, and he also has his lip pierced and he snowboards. ♥! And like before we started talking he was checking me out, I was checking him out. & we were flirting. Oh man. =] But then my overprotective dad came downstairs, and saw that we were close to each other by the computer and made my mum, himself, and I leave. =[ Bastard! So yeah, we all went upstairs and I was on one side of the room, he was on the other and we like kept looking at each other. Oh man. =] November 26, 2006 I went with Grandma & Grandpa to say goodbye to Andrew. Thankfully Luis wasn't there because I looked like shit. It's depressing. Andrew goes to a Naval Academy in Annapolis. & I probably won't see him for a long time because I don't think we'll get a chance to go down over Christmas break. =[ Oh well. For dinner we went to Aunt Linda's and got pizza. Whooptidoo. November 27, 2006 I'm bored. I'm in the truck starring at a mini-highway, at a High Life Lounge, and at NAPA in the town of Mannington. Definitely not a place I'm going to see again. Oh but before that, we stopped at this chain of stores. And I got Converse! Black low-tops with pink and white. They're pretty. And then for Christmas, I'm getting the original black and white high-tops. Which means, I have TEN PAIRS of Converse. Yeahhhh man! ***** So anyway, we got home at like 11:30 that night. & then I had homework to do. And then I had to take a shower...So I got in bed around 1 AM...didn't go to sleep until like 3 and I had to get up at 6 to start getting ready for school. What a nightmare. I've been getting a slew of bad grades. Yep, down goes my grades! Fucking sucks. Oh well! I care mostly only about History. The End!
