american gods

I've been stuck at home a lot lately... so that leads to a lot of reading. I'm currently reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I make the decision to read certain books by the author, not by the content. I read Star Dust while I was in Italy, because I liked the movie, which led me to like Neil Gaiman. I'll probably read all of his books now. I really do like this one it's kinda sad but I like the main character and the plot (thus far) so hes got me.

Christmas is coming. I really can't wait. You'd think that I'd be able to get over the excitement of Christmas, but I can't. For my Parents the excitement of getting new presents is outweighed by dealing with where when who what and how of Christmas, never one fucking why for them, it's better not to think about it. Yesterday we fluffed our fake tree, as merrily as was necessary to please my mom. It was also our Holiday celebrating the solstice, the shortest day the longest night. We did the usual, and it was fun again. Always something I look forward to.

I guess I'll just hang around the house until the snow is gone... waiting...
I'm also waiting for my Threadless order... damn Holiday sales

Home again

Well I'm back in the USA, back in Oregon. I got back on Saturday night a little before 11. I immediately went to the 24hour hot cake and steak house with my friends, not because i was hungry or in anyway awake, but because seeing and being with my friends was truly magical. I've pretty much been hanging out with them ever since. On Sunday I walked to Jordens in the snow and got Katelyn to come down, I watched them play video games and ate nachos. We went out and played on the ice, sliding on the melted snow.
On Monday my hair appointment was canceled. I texted Lillie and we decided to go see My Name is Bruce at the Fox Tower. We all met up at the mall and took the 72 to the max. After the movie we went back to Katelyn's house and watched Iron Man, and I loved it! We spent the night and lazed around the house all day, watching a lot of Disney movies, and taking eating breaks.
It's weird being back home, and yet it's normal, but it's also weird that it could be at all normal. I don't really know what to do with myself, but then again I've been spending nonstop time with my friends, so i don't really have to. It's good to be back home.
