Christmas Marathon

So I successfully completed two seasons of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I spent all of Christmas day watching this hilarious show and completed the last few episodes today. Second season stars Danny Devito but the whole "gang" (cast), although I have never heard of them before, are actually really, really funny.

Watch it if you like Arrested Development, The Office...or the sort.
Highly recommended.

...and so it is...

So, I'm back after a very long hiatus. For a whole semester, I have avoided this thing like the plague. There are a few reasons as to why.
1) Felt a lack of desire to write
2) Was pretty busy with school and work
3) Would rather have spent my spare time hanging out with my boyfriend and roomies
and
4) This...self-explanatory. (Chris, my chingoo for life hehe)...I suppose those racist comments made me a little bitter and deterred me from my blog. But why should some "anonymous" prick, who has no balls, get the best of me?

So here we are now, I am home up north for the Christmas holidays and felt that it was time to revisit this thing again.

Here is a little bit of me from this past semester.

- O-week came and went.















- I turned 21. Yippee.















- My boyfriend and I celebrated our glorious "year and a half" celebration. <3>
- I started a new job at ALDO accessories in White Oaks Mall.

- And any free time I had was spent catching up on school work, watching Deal or No Deal, or catching up on LOST/Desperate Housewives, or just dickin' around the apartment with my family (Mike and Aras included). ha.

p.s. - my puppy has grown so much! (photos to come soon)
So, needless to say, you haven't missed out on much.
Right now, I am happy and sad simultaneously.
It's Christmas time. So who wouldn't be happy right? All the shopping and gifts and fun times with family and friends. But then you think about those family members and friends that you haven't seen in a while. Maybe those who have drifted apart from you over time. For some reason, this time of year is when it really hits you. Maybe it's the whole, looking back on the year and reminiscing and making "new year's resolutions". Anyways, I can't help but think about those people and wish things were different, like they used to be. I know things won't change on its own, but sometimes you just don't even know where to start to rebuild an old relationship.
Sometimes, it will catch you off guard. Maybe an email from an old relative will make you realize just how much you missed them and how much you want to work at making them a part of your life again. Maybe some really big, exciting news from an old friend will make you realize just how little you know about what's been going on in their lives these past years. But I guess that's life. People come and go. People fade and grow. One relationship will get stronger, while another just starts to die...that's why I'm happy and sad simultaneously.

But I can't be more thankful for the things that I do have. My boyfriend is one of the strongest constants in my life. Someone I know I can count on for anything and everything. My family is always there for me. My roommates and friends are the best I could ask for. But a part of me still feels sad when I think about my past close relationships.

For some, I can try and rebuild those relationships. But for others, I'm just going to have to settle for thinking about the great times in the past and move on....
Anyways, to anyone and everyone reading (if you actually still check this thing)... HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! :)
