It's been a while since I've last posted. It seems that every post lately begins with me apologizing for not writing in a while. Business, business, business.
Today is Thanksgiving! :) Happy Thanksgiving! :DD Today's been great. Too much food, great family traditions. I'm very happy:)
The musical was great. I was so sad when it was over. I think everyone was crying. Or at least the softies like me. It was sad saying goodbye to the people I'd seen everyday after school for 3 months. I know I'll see em' again. Most of em' at least. It's just sad, ya know? Working so hard for something and being completely worn out and then all of a sudden its just...over. I'm so glad I did it. Even if it was stressful, musical really helped me be happy again.
My family has a bunch of traditions for most of our holidays, and Imma share some of ours for thanksgiving.
-We go to different houses each year. This year it was at my house. Hecctiic.But worth it:)
-We always sing Christmas carols. My grandma finds the piano and we all sit around her and sing Christmas carols. I love it.
-We play this game called 'Rob your neighbor'. 13 and under plays with the kids, and everyone buys a buncha little cheap presents and wraps them, marks them 'anyone' 'young girl' 'older girl' 'girl' 'boy' ect, and puts them on a table. You pass around a pan with two die in it, and when you roll a six, you get to pick a prize. At the end, everyone unwraps their presents. It's funn. Then, when your 14 or older, you play with the adults. Same thing, except only girls play with the adults. After boys are 14 they're done. They watch the football game with the guys. and after you unwrap the gifts, then if you roll a six again, you can steal a present you like from somebody else. More fun. This year's my first year playing with the adults. heheh. Oh, and there's a timer. The host (my mom this year) sets a timer but doesn't tell anyone how long the timer's set for, and when it goes off, you're stuck with what you got. One of the cool things about rob-your-neighbor is that you can get whatever, and people buy gag gifts. Like a big block of wood. Not all of them are gag gifts though. This year I helped my mom wrap the gifts and we got some pretty good stuff. Picture frames, gloves, scarves, headbands...a lot better stuff than the kids table. Which is usually like...puzzles, lip gloss, play-dough, candy...the candy I don't object to. :P
-We all pray together before eating.
-After Rob-Your-NEighbor, we attack the pies. Everyone brings one, and so there's about every kind of pie you could possibly imagine. Ohh...I can't wait until after rob-your-neighbor!!
I know there's more but I can't really think of any at the moment. There's the House family thanksgiving. My last name isn't house but...it's like..the family name. Whatever. You get my point. The kids are playing r.y.n right now, so I got bored and came to write. I think they're almost done. WOOness.
So. I think I'm happy. Not completely but...I guess I realize that I can be happy. Which is really good for me. I realize that worrying about little things like boys and stuff is stupid. I just have to be myself. and I shouldn't go looking for love. It'll find me.
There's so many things I'm thankful for.
Gotta go.
