Christmas [journal]
Merry Christmas! As a present to myself I went to Henry's and bought a digital camera. I don't have the money and no income, but I've been such a Scrouge at Christmas as of late that I decided I better get in the spirit and give, albeit to myself!
My mom invited guests over today and that got me angry. Even on Christmas day we, the family, can't just spend it together with just ourselves. I couldn't prance around in my Christmas colour bathrobe. I actually had to change, serve, and be polite. To make matters worse my mom kept manhandling me to drink this disgusting gritty-sand-drink that is supposedly very good for me. The one good thing about Christmas so far is that I got an email from the philosophy girl. It's too late to ask her to go to Shoe's thing, but at least it reaffirms my people reading ability. I knew she was somewhat interested.
So now all that is left is the gift giving part of the day. The most dreaded part. It's not that I didn't get anything for anyone. I did. But it's how touchy people in this family are about gifts.
