This year, we went are in Vancouver for Christmas because my aunt and uncle live here and my grandma can just fly down. The ride to "the city of rain" was a long 5(ish) hour drive and I was sleeping most of the time. Because our car isn't made for people to be sleeping in it comfortably, while it's moving, I had to sleep in an awkward position the entire way down and I was very sore afterwards and I still am. We stayed at my uncle's friends' house because they needed someone to look after it and we didn't all want to cram into my aunt's one bedroom apartment. It's a pretty nice house but in the room where my sister, Beth, and I are sleeping there's a crucifix on the wall. Seeing that reminded me of
Nightmare on Elm Street and I ended up reading by the light of my phone until 3:30am. The nights after that were okay but I'm still pretty freaked out from it. Christmas Eve, we stayed up quite late talking which was nice.When the clock stroke twelve, I asked my mom if we could open a presents which, obviously, was shot down quickly with one look. So the next morning, by 11am, we had each opened one gift and then stopped for breakfast. It's just ridiculous how long it takes! Last year, opening gifts took us TWO DAYS! One of the things I asked for Christmas was that we open all the presents in
one day. This year we finished opening gifts at 3:30pm. After that, we had a wonderful Christmas dinner with a lot of food and I managed to contain myself enough that I did not eat all of it :) The one I will remember the most from this Christmas, though, was the fact that every single night, Josh would text me at like 12 or 1am and we had conversations lasting for an hour or two. After we said goodnight, I would grab my iPod, put in my head phones and listen to a few songs. Then, I would have to go find
All I Do Is Win (By DJ Khaled ft. Ludacris, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg and T-Pain) and listen to it once before I fell asleep. For some reason, listening to that song made it easier for me to get to sleep and not think about things that freak me out and make me stay up until 3 in the morning. So that was my Christmas! Not completly uneventful but still slightly a little boring. There's always next year, though!

In one of my earlier posts, I said that I wanted to get over Dave. I've done it. I didn't force myself to do it or anything like that; I just stopped. He never showed any interest in me (which, to some, makes sense) and that is what started to discourage me. Then, I figured out he was actually a bit of an asshole (it took me awhile). Well, he's not a bad guy. He just does really stupid things sometimes and it comes off like being a jerk. Anyway, I'm over him. Totally over him. The candle's gone out. The bridge has been crossed. That part of my life is over. It's almost pathetic how long I liked him. Whatever. The point is I'm over him. Completely and totally over him.
