Wow! For the first time in a looooong while, I totally knocked out as soon as I hit my bed. I don't think it had anything to do with the fact that we were celebrating Christmas either.
Oh, 'bout Christmas... boring stuff, really. Some time in the afternoon, my cousin Cecilia ("Cc") and her mom ("Second Aunt") came over, and they chatted with my parents and stuff, nothing special. A little while later, little sister asked if she could open up her presents, and Cc was like yeah, sure, whenever you want! So, we opened up our presents, hooray!... hmph. I got... a black shawl from sistah Aileen, a black Guess hoodie from Cc, a thermos travel set from Second Aunt, 30$ from Aunt #1 (the aunt I live with), and... oh! a sterling silver necklace and black mittens with hot pink ribbons at the cuffs from Aunt Betty. My grandma gave me 30$ too, I do believe ~checks red envelope~ Oops, my bad. Grandparents gave 10$ each, so 20$ in total. $50 in cash and a couple of black garments. ~shrug~ better than previous years, I guess :P At least everything this year I can actually USE, haha! Anyhoo! back to the story.
So, after opening presents, nothing special happened, hours later, cousin Loretta and her husband Jimmy came over with their half terrier half daschund dog, Lady, who tried to get at my poor rabbit. Loretta brought her into this room (the room I work in, which is also the pet room) and had her sniff at Momo's cage. Momo, being the brave little bunny she is, just glared at the dog with ears up. No noticeable signs of fear (atta girl!). I bet she would've chased that damned dog out if I had opened her cage door, haha!
After some more chitchatting, we had dinner, during which practically everybody had some alcohol, including my underage self, but I only had a sip :] The stuff didn't really taste all that good, lol. Sparkling apple cider ftw!
After dinner, we played white elephant, which was quite fun. People fought over the scarf my mom submitted to the game, and the 3D origami swan from my little sister. I put in a "booby prize" gift, which induced a lot of crack-ups (as well as hateful glares :P those sore losers...). Loretta got the scarf initially, and Cc got the swan, but her mom, who was last to pick a gift, decided to steal the swan, and so Cc stole the scarf. Loretta got hella pissed and took the last unopened present, hoping it was candy, which in fact it was. It was a gorgeous box of seashell chocolates (which I picked out, btw!), and she was happy, as was her husband, who had the misfortune of choosing the second shittiest present (which was from his mother-in-law, Loretta and Cc's mom (Loretta and Cc are half sisters)). They opened up the box and shared the candy with everybody, which was nice (but also expected, dur!). All-in-all, fun stuff, a little family bonding is good... though it is most uncommon in this family of mine :P Hehe.
Oh yeah! After dinner, Lady kept staring at my rabbit. My dad had put down a cardboard fence separating the two rooms before, and had lifted it up for just a split second. However, Lady had seen the other side in that split second, and was intent on getting to my Momo. At one point, I took out my Nerf gun and shot at the cardboard fencing. That FREAKED Lady out (to my delight). Still, she wouldn't give up. After getting enough guts to leave her "Daddy"'s side (she hides there when scared), she went back to the fence and sat peering over it. I swear, if that thing took one step into this room, I would've either blasted it's brains out or kicked it dead. I kept imagining a scene where my rabbit and the dog fought, and me going over and just giving one hard solid kick right to the dog's guts. It's not that I don't like dogs, it's just that that thing was after my baby. I was simply protecting her like any mother would. Too bad though, the dog was too gutless to jump the fence (though my cousin assured me she could). No target practice. Booo!!
Now, the best part of Christmas! Well, actually, it was after Christmas... I think we started right before midnight. By the time we actually got a match going, it was probably past midnight. Oh, whatever! The point is, I played Draw My Thing on omgpop.com with Lewis and Michelle, and it was uber fun. Michelle seems to have grown a fondness for Lewis, or at least her image of him has soften up. We were supposed to play with Eric too, but he couldn't make it in. By the time he could get in, Michelle was saying she was "pooped", and Lewis needed to go to bed, so that didn't work. Next time, next time.
Although Draw My Thing with them was incredibly entertaining, I was in a total state of exhaustion I guess; my head was numb, my brain felt like it had exploded, and I was in a slit-wrist yet not depressed mood. I was running on some weird, hyperactive energy... My insides felt all funny, haha. Half way through our playtime, I went into a total spazztic state, and started saying God knows what. I guess you could say I was a high druggy/drunk, or something like that? Hm. Most peculiar. Anyway, we said our goodnights, and I went to bed after a short chat with Eric and Michelle. Like I said before, as soon as I was ready for bed and on it, I was fast asleep. Didn't wake up until I think around 10, but that was because my mom and little sister were talking really disrespectfully loudly, which is unusual for them at that time of day. They tend to be good about whispering when people are still asleep. Oddest part is, I started crying. They were talking in a semi-loud regular talk voice, and for some unknown reason, it was driving me insane. I guess it was because I was still exhausted, and couldn't think or fall asleep or anything due to their talking. I wanted to tell them to shut up, but instead I burst into a short crying fit. Then, I fell asleep! lol! From there, I slept until 1:27 PM, the latest I've ever slept. I feel quite awake now, though my head still feels a bit muddled. Definitely overslept, but I'm not feeling in the least bit groggy right now. How strange...
I wonder how today will turn out?
