holiday

I've been held captive and forced to clean the house for about a week, I think. and it just finished barely under the wire before we went to pick up my grandparents from the airport. (did that sentence make sense? i don't even really care...) anyway, they're here now, which will probably mean significantly less computer time. woe.

my friend came over on Sunday/Monday to help clean, and she actually helped a lot. I dunno what specifically she did, but it was good. lol. and then we stayed up until, like, 2am or something, talking. it's been so long since we've had more than 20 minutes alone together. i found out i still have opinions that differ a bit--okay, quite a lot--from hers, about marriage and sex and love and that sort of thing, but okay, whatever. >.< at least we can still kinda talk about it.

and since I don't think I ever posted about my grades, here they are (the official ones): Math = B, Italian = A-, and Studio = A. not bad, even though I'm a bit miffed about the B. >.< for that weekend class, I just got a P, for passing grade, but omg I'm so annoyed about that still. *kicks the teacher*

fandom: I'm so very happy about the Hobbit news. I'm fully willing to wait until PJ is available to direct, though. but at least he's involved, and that is very good news indeed. and I realized a while ago that even if Billy and Dom aren't involved in the actual movies, they'll probably turn up for the premieres, which would be very awesome as well. :D

so, happy holidays, everyone, and hopefully I'll still be somewhat available online between now and Christmas.

you have to be drunk to put up with this family.

I've got a buzz from drinking my dad's wine at dinner. O.o whoooa. how do you keep drinking past the buzz is my question. 'cause now i've got a headache as well from everyone yelling. lol

dinner was alright; i just had pasta, though. my dad opened his birthday presents and then, from then on, my uncle was kind of insane, and when he started ranting about violence and sex in movies, and then the golden compass being aethiest, i was about to explode. about 98% of the things he was saying were just fucking stupid, in today's world. maybe when he was young it was alright, but not now. i wanted to hit him. and then i was kinda falling asleep on my dad and escaped upstairs to watch the big fat quiz show of the year 2006 on youtube, with noel fielding and russell brand, which is hilarious and awesome and omg i love them so much. and then my cousin came up and said that my dad actually DID fall asleep, and in fact, he still was asleep when i came down to say goodbye to everyone.

apparently tomorrow we're all meeting downtown to see the gingerbread houses. while kind of interesting, it's mostly boring. am not really looking forward to it. >.< hopefully sometime over the weekend we'll go and see national treasure 2 and/or sweeney todd (again, for me! woo!)

eta: *glances at flist* and now, of course, there's like, 4 new fics (or chapters) i wanna read. i must resist, for the moment, anyway, and go to bed. :(
