So, I'm going to the movies tonight with mi novio. Supposedly there's a group of people going--none of which I know, besides my 'special friend'. So, it's going to be interesting. He called me earlier and said that he and his friends were going to see Marley and Me [which looks dumb by the way, but oh well] and wanted to know if I wanted to go. I said 'yes', because I felt bad about bailing out on him when we were supposed to go Christmas caroling...but I still think the movie looks kind of dumb, and I'm a little scared that it's going to be him and his guy friends and I'm going to be the only girl. My mom said I was just going as his 'arm candy' which I think was supposed to be a supportive comment, but it didn't support, so it was nullified.

So, if anyone has seen the movie, comment FAST and tell me if it's good. I leave in like an hour [it's 5:30 the movie starts at 6:45] so tell me quickly if it's good or if I should plan on falling asleep and being discret about it.

OK EDIT ON THIS HALF OF THE POST: My date was actually really nice. It was me, mi novio, his friend and his friend's date/girlfriend/female friend/whatever she was. And that movie wasn't actually totally suck-ish. So all the belly-aching I did earlier was for nothing.

Anyways, other than my obsessive rambling there, I've had a good day. Went to the big city and went shopping. The c28 store had some cool shirts, then my sister and I spent all of our money at Barnes and Noble. So I had a good day. I have to go decorate the youth chapel for the New Year's Lock-In tomorrow. Yipee. Some of the student leaders and I have some choice words about the Lock-In...but I'll rant about that later....

Hope you guys had a good day!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you all had a really good day, I did! I got some really great clothes from my mom, and a 100 dollar gift certificate for c28.com from my dad, and some random make-up and my class ring. I also got a new iPod, which is really awesome! It's one of the new nanos, and I got the purple one! [I'm such a dork] But it's really cool--it has a lot of really unique features. I didn't get anything anime-related, but I did get money, so I intend to buy myself Le Portrait de Petite Cosette.

So, the question million dollar question: What did Santa bring everyone?

dos dias hasta Navidad

So, I finally went to the doctor this morning. I got tested for strep throat and an ear infection, neither of which I have. But they do think I have the makings of an ear infection, so I'm supposed to take it easy, keep taking cold medicine and fill my perscription for antibiotics if I have a fever or pain.

I was supposed to go caroling with mi novio [that doesn't sound any better than my boyfriend. Comment on suggestions for what I should call him...] tonight, but because my throat hurts and I'm almost-sick I can't go. He was really sweet about it, though. So I'm glad he wasn't upset that I'm bedridden.

We're going to a Christmas party tomorrow night, and my mom's making mole. Not mole as in the small, disgusting rodent, mole [pronounciation mo-lay...it's Spanish] and it's this really awesome spicy chicken dish. My mom makes the best authentic Mexican food--which makes senese considering she's an authentic Mexican. That sounds weird. We are of Mexican heritage. There. That sounds better. Anyways, so it should be interesting to see if anyone will eat it, people usually look at it wierd and then turn their noses up at it. Whereas I like to consume mass quantities of it. It's really spicy and delicious. Yum!

I can't belive it's two days until Christmas. That's just so crazy! It feels like time if just flying!! I feel really bad because I haven't had time to go Christmas shopping for anyone. And now that I'm sick--I won't be able to now. :(

Ok, I just had the most awkward phone conversation I have ever had in my entire life. I actually really hate talking on the phone--it also doesn't help when you have no voice, and can't really hear because your ears are so stuffy--I think takling in person is better. So anyways, my cellphone rang and I didn't recognize the number but I picked up anyways, because if it was a wrong number I could just hang up or something...But it was my boyfriend. [I need to think of something better to call him, because calling him 'my boyfriend' sounds really akwakrd to me...] He just called to talk, and he couldn't really understand me because I practically have no voice so I have to speak really quietly and it was weird. So we just talked about random things, had a couple of awkward silences...it was kind of strange. It's easier to talk to him in person, then our awkward silences aren't so awkward...

I still don't feel very well, as I'm sure you've already gathered. I've had this nasty cold thing since Tuesday night and it's gotten progressively worse over the last couple of days. Right now my throat feels all swollen and disgusting and scratchy, and my voice is shot. I can't really hear out of my right ear [it feels like it needs to pop] and I feel kind of feverish. My sinuses feel like someone shoved cotton into them. Augh, I so don't want to be sick on my vacation.

Well, and I just found out not 5 seconds ago that my government teacher, who also happens to be a catoring a dinner tonight, and if you read my post a couple of weeks ago about the missions dinner, this is the same lady, anyways, and she needs help with this dinner tonight so my sister and I are going to help with that. So I guess I just had plans made for the day. Huzzah. I should probably go shower then, and make sure I don't look like an incubator for the plague. [laughing]

Well, I hope you all have a good day, and that if any of you are suffering through a winter-related illness I hope you feel better!

Update.

So, this is just going to be a short post on the updates in Ink's life. I'm officially out of school for Christmas break, praise the Lord, hallelujah. I'm really excited about being out of school for over two weeks, and am looking forward to actually getting some sleep!! Also, last night at my school's basketball game 'Guy Who Likes Ink' became 'Guy Who Finally Got Up the Courage to Ask Ink Out' so, that's where we stand currently. We both were a little shy about him asking me out, so it was kind of awkward, but he's my first boyfriend, so it's still exciting! :D
