11:26 PM and I sit up in bed, realizing I haven't written anything for today.
Today was a weird day. It started with a trip to the dentist. Those are never pleasant, but this one was rather routine. It set me off though, and I was anxious and combative for most of the day.
I came home and did my Christmas shopping. It was normal stuff, gifts for my family, but also the Christmas shopping that my family inevitably turns to as the holiday approaches each year. My parents hand me their credit cards, give me a budget, and I make all of my holiday dreams come true via the internet. This year consisted of buying my Amazon Wishlist in entirety (six delicious new books), and various adorable things (new dress, new shoes, new backpack) from Modcloth. I'm particularly excited about these. As a picky teenager, I kinda love getting to do my own shopping.
Then I half-heartedly filled out a scholarship application for my last-choice university, looked at the application for my dream school and decided to JUST GO FOR IT... another day.
Turning on the news and hearing more about the Newtown tragedy was one of the main reasons for my blogging procrastination... I had a rather funny post in mind, but just didn't feel up to it. (Probably tomorrow, fret not.)
I guess I'm going to catch some z's. Keep praying for Newtown if you'd like, or just keep them in your thoughts.
Hi Abby it's Colin! The moment when you realize that you finally have the money to spend on your whole dream items (that you see on the internet and in stores!) i love the independwnce of ordering online and then getting your package in the mail! its one of my favorite things. the moment from getting your confirmation email to opening it in the mail is the best thing! again i agree about newton. i will pray for them an keep them in my heart and mind.
