10 things i hate/love about now
Top ten things I hate right about now:
1.)I have mono for the holidays. No kissing under the mistletoe for Ahna. No New Years smooches. Oh yeah, and I can hardly drag my arse out of my bed.
2.)Josh Groban tickets--we were so close to getting them this morning and then all the lazy internet users screwed up our chances to get the cheap seats
3.)The song "My Favourite Things" from The Sound of Music is in no way possible a Christmas song. Really, they mention presents once. Get over it and please stop playing it.
4.)Miss Linguist makes me put up the tree every single year because she hates Christmas and refuses to try and at least enjoy it a little. At least enough to put up the tree with me. It's all colour coded, it's not that hard.
5.)Said tree usually falls on top of said putter-upper. Leading said putter-upper to have to adjust it three or four times.
6.)Everyone's putting the ultimate pressue on Ahna about everything. College, jobs, money, cleaning my room. When I say everyone I really mean everyone. People on the street for my knuckle's sake. Leave. Me. Alone.
7.)This January third will mark the sixth year my Adeline has been laid to rest in the cold ground. I've only been to see the grave a few times and I live four blocks away. Miss Linguist never wants to go.
8.)Everyone is getting close to pinching off everyone's last nerve and no one wants to draw attention to the obvious tension that surrounds us half of the lunch period. We always said we were too strong for this. Fate sucks wind.
9.)Ryan is slow and it's less than a month until Winter Dance, which is by the way, our farking dance. He better step it up or I will further more be dateless for high school dances. Oh what's new there. Nada nada bing bang.
10.)And last but not least:I hate being this pissy. Anytime, anywhere. Life should be enjoyed and whatnot. So why the h-bomb do I feel the need to pitch fits about things out of my control?
Top ten things I love right about now:
1.)I have realized I am truly beautiful and that if I smile without my teeth I look a little like Adeline and she was the height of beauty to me. My hair looks great dark, and with my braces off I do really look older like Cindy said.
2.)Yeah, I hate the Christmas music, but damn it all I love the holidays. We just need a little snow to fall on Christmas Eve and Ahna will be a happy camper with or without mono.
3.)Recently, I purchased a new 35mm camera so I no longer have to worry about disposables piling up on my coffee table in the living quarters. Now I'll just have to deal with flim rolls piling up. Eheh.
4.)Gaelic Storm is coming in March to the PAC and since I know people who can pull strings, I will not be missing the chance to see them. They came in November and Miss Linguist took me for my birthday. It was the best thing I have ever seen. I love Irish music. Did I tell you about this already? I have forgotten.
5.)Estee Lauder Lip Gloss. Period, the end. It's sexy.
6.)Death Cab for Cutie's CD "You Can Play These Songs With Chords" which is all their early stuff revisited and retouched. Some of it sounds original and grainy and I love music like that. Especially their music. Sigh.
7.)My ratty blue sweatshirt that reminds me of both my great aunt Lorraine and Abraham, my ex crush. I stole it from my church basement because it had been in the lost and found since Christ came to town.
8.)Hot chocolate now comes in French Vanilla flavour and caramel flavour. Also, this is eggnog season. And cool flavour coffee creamer season.
9.)Little boy's T-shirts. Under said sweatshirt, I am wearing my little boy's Canada shirt from Minaki. If anyone has been to or is going to go to Minaki, pick me up a little sweatshirt to go with it. Boys size medium por favor.
10.)Playing mallets and chimes instead of flute this year. The parts for the bells during the Christmas concert are out of this world challenging but all the more fun. I just have to remember to play loud. And that my cues are different than ever before.
That's me right now. Oh and yes if anyone was wondering, I did shed a tear about the Josh Groban tickets. Shaddap.
This has been your list checking diarist. I don't check them twice, unless my elves have dyslexia.
