#4 I love the Holidays
Tuesday, December 26, 2006

Sorry it's late, Christmas madness. First off I'd like to say I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Monday and Tuesday I was sick, vomitting my guts out it was all very exciting. I'm not going to dwell on the negative for this blog though, there isn't much to be said in that regard anyway.

I love the holidays. I know it's cheesy as hell but it seems that around this time (by "this" I mean a little before and a little after Christmas and of course during), problems just go away. I actually had several nice bonding moments with my parents, one dancing, one cooking and the other just sitting and listening to music. I just get in that mood around the holidays. Everything at school loosened up (either that or I've just stopped caring, I think likely both). All the exams and projects and stuff were finished so we were pretty much free except for one French period which I'd rather not talk about . On Thursday we had a talent show, it was awesome lots of cool bands and comedy sometimes mixed together, plus we missed the afternoon. Friday we partied all day though we still had to go to class. Our Math teacher gave us homework for the holidays which I am intent on leaving for the last minute.

That brings us to the weekend. On Friday night I stayed at my grandparents house (I do this every Friday since they live in Toronto, I have since I was a month old). It's my grandmother (dad's mom) and my step-grandfather's house (though he's more of a grandfather than my real one who I barely see. My mom's parents are dead (all of this information is relevant I guess assuming anyone actually gives a good gorram). On Sunday (I think) I went out with my (real) grandfather Jorje (Spanish, I think that's how you spell it). We went to Steve's (one of the big music stores in Toronto) and I tried out my dream bass (EDB 400). He got me a giftcard worth $250.00 from there so now I'm just $200.00 away from actually being able to buy the bass (which is going to be black and I will name her "Vera").

Monday was Christmas and here's what I got:

The Steve's giftcard (previously mentioned)
Age of Mythology from my grandparents
Billy Sheehan Basic Bass book and Billy Sheehan Advanced Bass book with instructional DVD
A new guitar strap because my other one is... somewhere else
A new XBOX and a new PS2 controller (the XBOX one is blue, the PS2 one is black)
MK Armageddon for XBOX (finally, I've wanted it ever since Rhys lent it to me), MK Shaolin Monks for PS2 and Lego Star Wars II The Original Trilogy for XBOX
Several cool shirts from http://www.jinx.com/default.htm as well as a pin and some iron-on patches
A Starbucks Card worth $20.00
In ways of Firefly stuff I got the Serenity Official Visual Companion, Firefly Official Companion Volume 1 (can't wait for volume 2) and Finding Serenity
Coolest present was by far the ZOOM B1 effects pedal (I have a ruttin' effects pedal!) 'tis very shiny indeed

On Thursday I'm gonna hang out with Rhys, he got a new guitar
Tomorrow I'm gonna have to hang out with Kate (crazy girl from my old school). I think I mentioned her, if not I'll put it in the next blog.

I wonder how many bracets there are in this entry...
Mood: As happy as Kaylee with a box of Strawberries
