Cassanova called me this afternoon... I don't know what to say about that.

Humph!

I'm going shopping!

Merry Christmas to Rob

Its been a long day...
Midnight mass was beautiful... At least the music part! I've officially worked for the pope for over a year now... whoohoo.

Two masses this morning. In between, I ate an english muffin at grandmas house. I was feeling a little lonely, Christmas morning, walking to church at 7:30. Last year was basically the same, but this year seemed lonlier for some reason. Last year was this plus being snowed in, so i didn't even make it to Franklin until the day after Christmas. Oh well...
My mom came over to my place around 11:30, I had the coffee made and the house almost clean.

So how about this. Both of my parents got engaged this week to their respective significant others. I think they're both afraid of being alone. They could probably do better. Thats kind of a rough day for anyone though if you think about it. I was relaying this to my uncle Dan at Christmas lunch at my moms parents and he nearly choked... He thought I meant they were getting remarried to each other! So, I guess things could be worse. Memories don't particuliarly flood back of christmases with both my parents. I was usually with my dads parents christmas eve while mom worked the night shift at the hospital, then my moms parents christmas day and for the rest of vacation. So, separate Christmases have been going on for years. Christmas morning is still kind of specical with my mom and Craig coming to my house though, so I enjoy that at least....

I came back to Franklin and went to dads... His girlfriend is insane, and a 2 beer queer (if even that) She went from zero to plastered in 0.5 sips. I swear... She was fine for the first half hour or so, then started making gay references. Its an uncomfortable topic for my dad... Just what I don't need.

Grandparents again at around 8 (way later than I thought) We had a very adult time for a change... the young ones from the extended family stayed home. So, Troy (step-cousin) and I were the youngest this time. We actually had a great time. Em i and I were totally insane. It was great...

The Collins house, across from the house where I grew up, always... every year... has large red and green lights outlining the front of their house. As I drove by I couldn't help being a little sentimental. I take pride in my independence... I like being independent and by myself a lot. But... I dunno. I feel lonlier right now than I ever have in my life.

I've got my cat to hang out with tonight, and a hot tub. So, I'll enjoy that.

Merry Christmas everyone.... I'm not really in the "Christmas Spirit" at all... But, nevertheless...

Ciao

Nothin to say about the holidays really

I'm a little down today....

This circus is falling down on its knees
The big top is crumbling down
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one's around
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call
These train conversations are passing me by
And I don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way
I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat

heres the part i like today
And I get no answers
And I don't get no change
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same
There's things I remember and things I forget
I miss you I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?
I need a phone call Maybe I should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train If I listen real hard
And I wish it was a small world
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
