merry christmoose!
yes, ok, i'm sad, i'm writing an entry on christmas day. ah well. it's very precarious work - as i type i'm under seige by my little bro. he's firing small foam discs at me from this noisy gun type thing. grr.
my christmas was kewl, we went to see my grandpa in hospital this morning as they didnt let him out today after all, and took some presents, and the sally army came and played a couple of carols on the ward. we helped him with 'the smallest, hardest crossword in the world', of which i figured two answers and was well chuffed. came back and started on the pressies and mum and dad started dinner, had some visitors, joe locked us all out of the house for ages and stood laughing while he unplugged the doorbell so we couldnt ring it and annoy him. bah. at dinner i decided to re-try sprouts, and found that they're not actually that bad. i think i went off them a few years ago, like bananas and mushrooms, both of which i've started eating again, but i still can't stand the metallic tang of the smell of pure cooked mushrooms... but they're not bad in chinese. man why do i always eat so much at christmas? i always always regret it but i still do it year in, year out... i may learn one day. after dinner mum and dad finished opening their presents and we washed up... well i say 'we' - joe buggered off upstairs and didnt reappear for hours... went to mamma's at about seven, and i managed to resist the food until about nine, then went and raided the cheese and biscuits. and the tiramisu (not as good as the one i helped make with ian). and the gingerbread house. mamma makes wicked gingerbread. we played cluedo and i won, no idea how that happened, everyone else made bum accusations and there was only myself and mamma left in. i did get a couple of mine by sneaky looks at peoples cards when they let their guard down tho. doo be doo...
i had a pretty kewl crimble this year, to say my christmas list was rubbish. i got a couple of tshirts (teen girl squaaaaad! cheerleader! so-and-so! whats-her-face! the ugly one!) loadsa knicks! socks, some pjs cos i really need some, most of mine are incredibly scruffy and much too short, pirates of de caribbean, xmen 2, LotR 2 extended 4 disc version, woo!, waterstones vouchers, couple of books, perfume, excellent earring thats a lizard that goes halfway up your ear, some purrdy jewlerewlery, train album (alrite!) a terry pratchett calendar, a kewl starry hangy thing from meg, a case full of makeup (think i'm ugly do ya?!), chocolate, posters, a crocus bulb in a glass jar that grows if you do what the instructions say, a lil sparkly ornamenty type thing and, what touched me most of all, a candle from em and kate with 'to my sister' on the top. i could have cried, god knows i love those two like my own flesh and blood, and it was just the simplest most profound thing...
to my sister.
