Christmas started on Saturday. My family went over to Matt and Lori's (my uncle and aunt's) house to have our first Christmas, which was fun. Matt fried six turkeys. i must tell you, i was weary of the fried turkey idea - before i had it. its daaaaamn good. i encourage everybody to try fried turkey if you have a chance. it was the usual family thing - we ate food and talked and Gramma drank too much. A bunch of us went up to her house to visit Grandpa. He has gotten even thinner, is taking lots of painkillers, and has shaved his head. i gave him marionberry jam from Pike Place for Christmas, he enjoyed it i believe.

Megan came over and spent the night and the next day with me. That night, we went to Ladro with Michael (who was bouncing off the walls) and then went to bed. Yesterday we went out for teriyaki, and then Arlo called.

"Hey, come over and i'll make you breakfast!" First of all, it was definatly 1 in the afternoon. Second, i was already eating. Third, my little relevation the other night. He hung out with us anyway, and we actually had a very good time. it put my mind at ease a bit to have him not speak only of weed.

Last night, was fantastic. Keren's mommy bought tickets to the Seattle Men's Chorus's last show of the holiday season, and invited me as a Christmas present. it was fabulous. The Seattle Men's Chorus is the best. and i SWEAR Mark McKinney is in the fucking chorus. i saw him. it is so so so him. (from kids in the hall. maybe i'm insane but i really dont think so...)

Afterwards we went to B&O with TK and Michael, and then to Minnie's with Michael. it was good times and now i am awake and it is Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve is very very stressful for me. Tonight is when we go to either The Duncanson's house or to my grandparents house. (They switch off.) We all dress up really nice and go over there. i basically perform the entire time. it will be a /little/ more relaxed because my grandparents are hosting the party this year. AND to add to it, i was invited to Arlo's house for Christmas Eve. That is crazy. it is very nice, but it's crazy. (i cant go because of the grandparents, of course.) i dont know... i think i'll need just one more time seeing him to form my final answer. and i need to take a bath. bath time!
