Christmas Eve is HERE!

WooHoo!!! I'M BACK!!!

...

*sigh

anyways i AM back
so let me update you on a few things

first off, i just came back from an Asian Get Together
where asians get together basically
we ate dinner in a restaurant, talked about the old college days, and of course...good (private) schools

(the only way i can get a scholarship is that i am bordering genius status...
damn, i think i'm still in the BS status)

sounds warm and fuzzy to you?
(yes)
WRONG

i was the only kid there old enough to sit quiet and stomach the boredom
so there we were
all sitting down

and a stack of menus

we (not me) were talking about who got fat and who has the most wrinkles and so on and so forth

20 mins later....still talking
and an untouched stack of menus
(was i the only one who noticed this?)
i tried to give my dad the meaningful/bossy/bored teenager - look
i wasn't hungry, i was just bored. i mean i had nothing to do

then finally one lady was like "Oh, i think we should eat now!"

("yea i think so too!")

finally we started eating
things settled down for a while, until.....the 6 year old started exploded

not literally of course
but i mean he was like jumping all around, not listening to his parents, a real naughty list contender

then after refusing to eat anything, he took his dad's keys and started jingling them for the next 15 mins

the longest 15 mins of my life...
yelling, screaming, and jingling keys....
i think my brain just suffered a migraine
but i just sat there...being a good little child...and eating fried rice

after getting stuffed, we went to one of the families' house
there, they insisted that i should eat two bags full of asian snacks, 4 sunny-D's, and 4 oranges...i just drank one Sunny-D really s-l-o-w

now after having a hectic day of screaming 6 year olds, college discussions ( you don't talk about colleges, you DISCUSS them) i am here, taking a rest from the outside world

i know what you are thinking
that i am being an arrogant teenager

i might be at some points, but i was REALLY TRYING
the whole time, i tried to listen in on their conversation, and hastily arranging my face into one of profound understanding, keeping in mind that THEY invited ME into THEIR home

and my parents and their friends haven't seen each other for 10 years

but the conversation just slipped through my mind without leaving the smallest shred of meaning behind

i even tried to sympathize the kid
i mean being a 6 year old, he was very cute....i almost wanted to hug him...and strangle him

srry can't help it
as i said "i tried"
not that it worked

so that was my Christmas Eve day
but the thing that i was grateful from this Asian Get Together
was that at least i WAS invited, and i think that was the most important

but still...that kid....ugh....

anyways MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
i'll try to write more
