christmas is coming!

so we put up our tree last night. my dad and I went out and bought one. a real one. i think we did a pretty good job of picking one out.

anyway, i don't know how it happened, but i always end up putting all the lights on by myself. that's pretty much the worst part of tree decorating and i get stuck with it every year. so my dad put the tree in the stand and my mom pulled the lights out of the box, and then they sat down to watch me struggle with 10 strings of lights. thanks guys. after some complaining, my dad ended up helping me. so that was good. but then they stopped. there are no decorations on the tree. just lights. they said they'd put the orniments on today while i was at work. yeah...we'll see.

also, my bros and i got our gift for our parents. i hope they like it. i would like it. if they don't, they can just give it to me. nooo problem.

on a non-christmas note, my exams finished on monday. and i haven't had any beer yet to celebrate. i could have gone to the lower deck last night with some people just for the matinee [mmmmm....paul lamb....] but it was my bros 20th birthday yesteray so we did the whole family dinner/cake/presents thing last night so i didn't go. there are tentitive plans to go to the deck on wednesday or thursday this week, but we'll see how that goes. i just need to go to the lower deck. i love it so much.

know what else i love? buck 65. and he's playing on boxing day night at the marquee. oh man do i want to go. i don't really care at all about anyone else who will be performing, but i want to see buck really bad. i dunno who i'll be able to rope into that. but it would be sweet. its only $7 at the door. come on. you know you wanna.

and today? i had a major bast from the past. a guy i went to school with all through elementary, jr high and high school was here today. i couldn't believe it. i haven't seen him since high school. he goes to dal! i go to dal. i have never seen him there. maybe i will in january now that i know he's there. haha and it was funny because i saw his brother first and i don't even know his brother and his brother definitey doesn't know me and when i saw him i was like, "HEY!!" but it was more just shock that i was seeing this guy than it was a greeting. and he was like, hey! haha i'm such a moron. he has no idea who i am. i love embarrassing myself.
