i really need to come up with a new journal entry since i have been so absent from the internet since right before christmas. it was a big mistake to not log on for that long b/c now the amount of mail i need to answer to is just overwhelming.

christmas eve i went to a feliz navada celebration. i work during the spring for a labor company that is owned by a hispanic family. i do their bookkeeping and helped them get their business started and make sure they pay their taxes...all that kind of stuff. i became pretty good friends with the family and even got to take a trip to mexico with them. the celebration on christmas eve was fun but i will never get used to some hispanic customs. for example b/c i was a guest, i got to eat first and these women were standing up around us b/c it is improper for them to sit at the table until i get through eating and get up. i have encountered something like that before when i was able to eat at the dinner table but other people had to eat at the counter b/c it wasn't proper for them to be at the table b/c they were Gaudencio's workers. but i felt bad watching this woman stand and hold this baby while i am eating....then we all got drunk. lol.

i got awesome presents for christmas. an ipod video and nintendo ds. plus a couple of movies. that is my excuse for not getting online...i have been playing video games and watching movies and such.

last night i went to that undead party i was talking about. everything was low key so i liked it. got to see a couple of people that i haven't seen in years.

today was a friend's funeral. i was completely unable to go...i feel bad about making the choice not to go b/c it was completely b/c i dreaded how uncomfortable i would feel while being there. i can't stand going to one more fucking funeral where everyone comforts the mom and talk about how good of a kid he was when the mom had a shitty relationship with the kid b/c she ran him off b/c she didn't like him or the choices that he made.
