Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas. I did. I hadn't been been in the holiday spirit much until the 23rd, which is a local tradition of bonfires, alcohol, and barbecue...
The past two times I had spent Christmas here, it was one of my favorite times. So I kinda got into it. My grandmother is in the hospital and apparently was in a coma for a few days but she's doing better than she was. However, this caused a panic and we were all in a hurry cleaning up and stuff making funeral arrangements. You see, in Greece, funerals are held the very next day. They bring the body to the persons home, have a viewing, and then you're burried. I've never witnessed this and I'm preparing to be freaked out! But it hasn't happened yet, and I know it might happen tomorrow and it might happen ten years from now. My Grandmother has gone through a lot health-wise and always comes out strong so who knows.
Then Christmas day I ate here at home, and then went out with my cousin to a local bar with some live music. There I met this girl who was a friend of my cousins. This very extremely beautiful girl. No, its not her in the pic, but we started talking and stuff and went out again the next night with her and another friend. I think I'm falling in love which I want, but I don't think I could handle rejection, which is always a possability. The thing that really bothers me about this chic is that I don't know if she's single or not. I've had conversations with her about how the whole 'dating' thing works here and things along that topic and also other irrelevant things but you know, the more I reflect on this, I realize that I don't have that "OH GOD I'm creeping her out" type feeling...really when I talk to any girl for that matter. You see, when it comes to women, I've always thrown myself at them, degraded myself, and then end up in total embarassment. Now, I basically act how I want and enjoy myself and don't give a fuck if they like me or not, which is something new. I'm going out a bit more than I did in the states and hopefully the more I do it, the more I'll be involved and such. A lot of the younger crowd are here for the holidays and then will go back to the city.
I do want to post this picture though:
This might look like a typical scene from a bar, but the size of this place is so small, that it literally resembles a sardine can. I've always despised these places because of that, but then I realized something...everyone else is in the same situation trying to squeeze through other people so no harm is done and no one gets mad at this..lol

Moving a round of drinks in a place like that isn't easy.
