I always listen to my ipod on the way to/from uni or when I'm out on my own. Saves me from going mad.
did u have a fun xmas?
Eh, neither awesome nor awful.
On the side of greed, my family gave me sorta mediocre presents; I'm at the age where that's expected, I think, but I think it's also kind of an issue of my family not really knowing me very well anymore. I'm wearing one of my gifts right now- pajama pants that are comfortable enough, but that 1. are colored like a bad acid trip and 2. are highwater because my grandmother thinks I ought to have clothes from the 'petites' section. (It's not worth returning them- they're just pajamas- but I did let her know that my arms and legs are generally too long for 'petite' clothing, even though I am short and small.) I got some nice scarves and gloves, though, which I was pretty happy about.
On the social side, I went to see my grandparents, which was nice. My mother wasn't there, which was nicer (for me, at least). Again, it's kinda awkward because my family doesn't really "know" me, and I feel very much seperate from most of them. Not estranged like I am with my mother, but like I'm somehow of a different breed, or something (less 'normal' is the closest I can come to describing it). They're strangers I'm supposed to know, but that doesn't mean I
do know them. I've gotten closer to my grandparents the last half year or so, though, which is nice.
