Christmas and Things

Hi. Let's skip the part where I say how bad I am about blogging regularly and jump right into the actual post, shall we?

So it's two days after Christmas and I'm sitting here in a towel (not even gonna lie), drinking some coffee and enjoying the empty house (for once). I definitely wouldn't be home if I had a car... but we'll get to that in a bit.

So far winter break has been an adventure. Mostly a good one. Started off the first night of break going on an actual adventure , trying to find a certain *event* in a sketch area of downtown LA with Pierce and Ian, kind of being followed by some cops, ending the evening at the Pantry, sleeping in my car (well trying to), and wandering around starbucks and petco at early hours of the morning with Pierce.

The rest of last week was just full of seeing family and friends and Pierce, some Christmas shopping and baking and just preparing for Christmas in general. Pretty low key, just relaxing you know. It's been nice. There's been a lot of tea and coffee involved. I do need my caffeine.

I've been making a lot of kandi! I think I'm getting pretty good at cuffs. My three year old neighbor saw mine in my room and wanted one so I made her a 3-year-old-sized mini cuff, it was pretty adorable. I should have gotten a picture of it.

Anyway so Christmas Eve and day were both... eventful. Christmas Eve was nice, my neighbor (the 3-year-old) came over and baked cookies with Kelly and I in the morning. She is the most adorable little girl... she legit looks like a pixar character. Big round eyes, roundish face, freckles, soft brown hair that like waves in just the right way, you know. She is so cute. It was so much fun.

And then later my family and I met up with some other families and we served dinner at this shelter like we do every year, which is always fun because the people there remember us from year to year, and they always get so happy. And then my family, just the four of us, actually sat down at a restaurant and all ate dinner together, which almost never happens. Which was nice.

Then later I picked up Pierce and we went to one of his family gatherings for a little bit. I really love his family, they're the nicest people. You know how when you meet someone's parents, that person starts to make more sense to you? Getting to know his parents over the past year (almost), it is SO true with Pierce. Just, so true. I don't know how to explain it.

Christmas morning was the same as always, my family sat by the tree and exchanged gifts. Then I went to pick up Pierce, and before I even got to the freeway, I got into a car accident. I don't really want to go into it, but basically I was an idiot. And I felt so bad... and now I don't have a car, which is why I'm sitting at home waiting for Ian and Pierce to pick me up later. But yeah. It was pretty bad. But it could have gone a lot worse if the other car had hit just a little farther back on the drivers' side, and I probably would be a lot more injured. So I'm just glad everyone is okay. But still... with expenses and insurance and everything... I'm just an idiot. But yeah. So that happened.

Anyway, the rest of Christmas was actually nice, apart from all the car crash jokes going around. We picked up Pierce and surprised my grampa, who thought he wasn't gonna see any of his family on Christmas. And then we went to my uncle's house for Christmas like we do every year, which again, was fun, apart from the car crash jokes. They mean it lovingly, haha.

Then we went back home and Pierce and I watched the long-awaited Doctor Who Christmas special! I thought it was... pretty good. Like it got really good in the last 10-15 minutes I feel like, but the rest was just okay. Adorable, but not great til the end. I don't know. It was very Christmas-y though.

Yesterday was fun, just chillin with Pierce and Ian and such. Today/tonight is probably going to be much of the same thing, which I'm looking forward to. We have a new spot that isn't the Crest, but is a mini-adventure to get to, I guess. I'll just leave it at that. Fun times, haha

This post has been long, so I'll cut it off here. I need to get better at blogging again, I feel like I probably just bored to death anyone who read this post. If you got through the whole thing, I congratulate you. You should let me know that you did :D
