Post Holiday Report!

Firstly, I want to apologize for neglecting the blog this week. It's been one of those weeks, y'know? I think everyone else has been busy holidaying as well though, so I hope nobody minded.

Honestly, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. The holiday spirit was short-lived this year, partially due to this blasted house I'm stuck in. Love the people who live in it, but I can not stand this building. You guys will probably notice, I refer to Rhode Island as "home" but I don't call this particular place in Rhode Island that I'm writing to you from "home", ever. It's not. It's more like a hellhole somebody stuck in my home. If I owned a bulldozer, you know what I'd be doing with it.

Anyways, moving on...Christmas was fun. I got a lot of things I'd been waiting for a long time to get. These include several CDs:

• John Mayer - Room for Squares
• John Mayer - Heavier Things
• Original Broadway Cast - Avenue Q
• Lifehouse - Lifehouse

Also, I got Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway"...except I already own that CD so we're going to have to do something about that.

I also got my all time favorite movie ever on DVD -- Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Okay, so I wasn't born yet when it came out but it is such a classic and it so so so so soooooo funny.

I also got a bunch of books, most of which I'd wanted for a very long time.
- Stephen R. Lawhead - Patrick: Son of Ireland
-Stephen R. Lawhead - The Endless Knot
-Stephen R. Lawhead - The Silver King
-Charlaine Harris - Definitely Dead

I also got a book from my Internet friend Lenaria, she sent me Jonathon Livingston Seagull.

I also started playing a new computer game, but I'm not going to say anymore about that. I believe it won't be too long before I make an entry about it.

I went out Wednesday night while the parents had a dinner party. The clubs were not exactly the most exciting they ever are. Still, I was enjoying myself hanging out with Dom, Kyle, and the bartender Ivan (who is quite hot, and has a great sense of humor I discovered) at Club Energy. Then, to my surprise, my friends Chris, Bill, David, Josh, and Pat walked in. They'd been at Club XL, but came by Energy to say hi. A bunch of us headed to a nearby 7/11. I was the only one who wasn't high, and that is all I'm going to say about the magazine pages that were somehow all over the street when we got back to the club. It wasn't long before we decided to pick ourselves up as a group and head to XL, so we did.
I was pleased to see one of the really, really, really hot dancers remembered me from my one visit prior (this past Saturday, I went there with a date...I don't think I blogged about it. Whoops. It was really a very good date though!) He seems like a nice guy, and if I had the money I'd shell out for a private so I could get to know him. Oh well, I guess I'm just going to admire from afar and tip well when I have extra cash.

Tonight I wasn't planning on doing much, but my friend Emerson and I made dinner plans. We haven't seen each other yet this break, although this summer we were basically inseperable. We ate dinner and then, deciding we weren't ready to go home yet, we met up with some of his friends.
Cool. As. Hell. He, like myself, has good taste in who he associates himself with. (Although, that's questionable for me...we'll discuss at a later time...) Hopefully, I'll hang out with these people again before I go back to school.

I also have done a lot of thinking lately. Unfortunately, as confident as I am most of the time, and as great as my life is...when I get introspective like that, it usually has pretty devestating results for something -- be it my friendships, my self-esteem, it's never good....and that's my cliffhanger ending. Tune in next time! :P

PS: I finally got some more pictures from my first weekend dancing in PA!
