So, Christmas was pretty good. I visited my dad in our empty-ish house and he mixed drinks until I got drunk and passed out on a chair watching A Christmas Story. It was different this year because we didn't have a tree or money and nobody really got each other anything, but it was nice too. It was refreshing to skip all the shopping and the stress and in the end nobody cared and it wasn't such a big deal.
On Christmas eve when we were making perogies my dad got a phone call that said he got the house he put a bid on. :] It's in Shippensburg PA which is probably one of the most boring places in the world, lol! But it's good that it's something.
I went over to my moms house and everyone exchanged gifts. Since I'm not on T anymore and generally don't try and convince people I'm male I'm noticing that people are reverting to giving me everything with 'woman' tacked onto the end again. We all got deodorant in our stockings (haha) and mine of course was Degree... FOR WOMEN. I got a vest that was like WOMAN EDITION or something. Honestly I wouldn't mind so much but it kind of doesn't make any sense to me because I dress the same, I just get rid of my facial hair because I'm admitting I don't like it now, which is more important than just keeping it around for a statement. But I think people want to take it as a 'oh good she's done with that stuff now and she can be the girl we always wanted her to be again.' No, sorry... I still dress like a dyke and look like a little boy. I still act like a fag. I like men's deodorant better because it works better on me and I like whatever that smell is. And I probably would have liked the vest if it actually fit me properly, but it did this weird thing at the bottom which flared out to accentuate hips or something and it looked completely bizarre. So I simply said it didn't fit, which I still feel bad about, but I did like the rest of it.
I also got some NINTENDO DS GAMES and SOCKS and CANDLES. Haha. It was really nice not to get a lot too. :] My brother made me this sweatshirt with a picture of this dirty old bum from my hometown on it. I love it. I'll probably have to post a picture. Then my other brother got me an R4 card for my DS. I felt super bad because I actually bought one over the summer. But it's still in Canada because a certain someone is a real shit at sending post, so it's been so long he assumed I didn't have one because he never saw me using it. -shakes fist- :P
I came home Christmas night. It's so relieving to come back to somewhere with internet that actually works/isn't completely shitty, haha. It was nice to see everyone for Christmas. But at the same time, it makes me COMPLETELY LOVE THE FACT THAT I DON'T LIVE THERE ANYMORE. It was AMAZING to actually leave when I felt like it and come home to my own apartment! And now that it's happened I realize that I don't think I could go back to living there. The other week I was driving, thinking about how poor I am and if it's been worth the grand I've spent to be out of my house since summer. And now I'm like YEEEEAAAHHH ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT. Hahaha. ;] I think that when I come home from Australia in June, I'd be ok staying with my dad in THE BORING LAND OF SHIPPENSBURG for a little while, however long that will be, until I get myself figured out with where I'm going to stay and where I'm going to work. |
