"Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me.."
-The Only Hope For Me Is You by My Chemical Romance
Before I officially start this post, I must apologize ahead of time for any mistakes I might make. I'm halfway asleep as it is, but I really want to post right now. So here we go.
By now I hope you know already about the whole Thanksmismas thing. I thought I'd just post about what I've been doing since I got here.
Friday: Got in at about 5:30 in the evening. Went to Costco where I watched three 3D Television sets and got 3 cases of Fitz Root beer, orange, and grape soda. Fitz is a soda company down here in St. Louis that makes amazing soda. I've been to their factory before, its neato. After that I convinced everyone to go to Global Market, a place that sells food brands from all over the world. I wanted to go and see if they had anything there from Japan cuz I miss their food from when I was there. They did. I found strawberry Pocky and a few other things I remembered. Then we went home and had an impromptu violin/ukulele performance. I play violin and so does my grandpa, and my grandma plays ukulele. After that I went to bed I think.
Saturday: Woke up at 8:00 (early for me) and had some toast and hot cocoa. Took a shower and got dressed for the day. People started coming at noon. My cousin Sebastian (Seb for short)and I went downstairs and played ping pong for awhile. Then my grandma found these things she calls "poppers". They're like little New Years Eveish popper things and they all have something inside. My had a screwdriver (I don't get it either) and a silver paper crown (everyone had a crown). So we put our crowns on and ate dinner. I love how its completely normal for my family to sit around eating BBQ brisket for a Christmas meal in paper crowns. Then came the presents. My aunt knows me the best and always gives great presents. I ended up with a new MCR shirt, their new album(a song from which I quote above), their second album that Seb burned for me, Gerard Way's graphic novel "The Umbrella Academy", Epic Mickey, and some Bath & Body Works stuff. Score, right? Then we attempted a family picture which, of course, took forever. Another violin performance went underway. Then we headed out to my grandpa's house out in the country. Ate some really awesome chili and burned a huge pile of leaves. (Total pyro watching huge fire=awesome night no matter what) Then I came home and wrote this blog. I'm leaving for my home-home tommorow. *yawn* Okay. I'm done now. Gooooodnight. ^^
