lost in target

Topic: latest news
christmas came and went so suddenly it was like standing really close to a moving train. i suppose you're all wondering what i got. well here's the latest scoop. i got some candy in my stocking, an awesome lamp for my desk which i needed, this really nice sweater that has been all through venice and europe with my dad, a silver ankh for this silver chain that i already had, a lord of the rings calendar (in color lol), a cd organizer book thing so i don't have to throw cds everywhere on band trips, and....a cell phone.

yep all of a sudden i am thrown headfirst into the wild world of haivng to pay a large amount of money just to talk on a tiny piece of plastic. but that tiny piece of plastic that i have (a virgin mobile kyocera k9) also has all this other totally cool stuff. i have account and a number now and i use phone cards with minutes instead of having to become a slave to a calling plan or something. it's great and i also have some games on there to play.

the next day after christmas, we went to philadelphia to visit my grandmother and attend the usual family christmas party. this year, we took four different kinds of coffee for after dinner which everyone enjoyed learning about and drinking. i got a cool gigantic blue pencil from cousin marcia from the harvard museum of natural history.

we stayed at a motel and then came home. the next day after that, we decided to go out and buy a brand new tv that would replace our other 19 inch one (tiny!). we used a gift card that was given to us and got a 27 inch tv and it seems so big to us! it's cool. man that target store is so freakin huge and it seems like someone who is not used to such an environment might become lost or something. i also bought halo for our computer but since our computer is sort of old and slow, the game doesn't work! geez. i hope i can get things working soon.

last night we went over to some friends of our's and they gave me a book of edgar allen poe with his short stories and everything. wow it's really great. i've always really admired his work. and i'm not sure if i wrote this but i also bought this thing online for the first time ever with a walden's gift card. i bought hamlet and i have to get back to reading it as soon as i have time.

because even though it's vacation, we still have some schoolwork to do. i have a bunch because i need to start my ap course application papers. and i accidently read all of "of mice and men" the other day even though i was only supposed to read the beginning. oops! oh well. lol.

and coming up is kassie's party. wow the year's gone so fast. and kassie's party is going to be so cool. i can't wait to see some of my friends. and it's an all-nighter so that'll be a first for me. it'll be 8 pm to 8 am and i'm going to try to stay awake as long as possible which may be difficult lol. i'll have to keep myself occupied. i'll make sure to take pictures and post them my photo albums somewhere!
