Silhouette

I'm switching to a new journal.

you can find me from now on at paperperfect. so.. yeah. go see.

you know.. new year, new journal. and all that. I'll see you there.

my flight was delayed by two and a half hours yesterday. obviously, someone didn't want me to go to Colorado. but unfortunately, their attempts at stranding me at the airport failed. and I'm here.

it's really not too terrible, considering this time I have an actual room with a door that closes. the weather is cold, and it's so dry I feel like my bones are rattling around inside a husk of skin.

my dad gave me my 'big' present early. and it's not an IPod. it's a Dell Digital Jukebox. which is, I guess, about the same thing. and at least I don't have to figure out ITunes. I'm having fun trying to get my cds copied onto the thing. the biggest obstacle is my dad's computer, which is slower than a retarded slug at ripping cds.

we went out to dinner last night at Pasta Jay's and had spaghetti. today my dad took me out to lunch at Mustard's Last Stand, and we had Chicago dogs. then we went shopping on the Pearl. I helped him pick out a pair of diamond stud earrings for Dee, and he gave me a hundred dollars to go shopping with. so I spent $40 at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory on presents for my friends.

which leave me with $60 to spend on a dress for winter formal. no, $35 dollars. because I still have to buy tickets. hmm. I wonder if I could get some money from my mom for tickets.. or maybe from my dad. I feel a little bad about asking him though. even if he did get a Christmas bonus at work. he already gave me a good chunk of money. I'll wait and see if any of my presents are clothing gift cards. and if they aren't, then I won't feel so bad about asking for ticket money.

we're going to see A Series of Unfortunate Events tomorrow. and on Thursday we're going to the Egyptology exhibit at the Denver Museum of Natural Sciences. yay.

I'm going to get back to working with my DJ. hope all of your vacations are going at least a little better than mine.

I'm working on making stick-figures of all my friends. it's lame, yet somehow I feel productive..

I had a pretty good birthday. many thank-yous to everyone who remembered, and double to the ones who got me gifts. I feel special and spoiled and yes, Eileen, a bit selfish. but you said I'm allowed, right?
...
if anyone was wondering and/or confused, I'm not having a party. oh well.

anyway, my mom is letting me skip the dishes tonight, so I'm going to bed now.
