Christmas but actually not.

So this is going to be a quick blog about my christmas but actually not because it really was boxing day. I thought I would write this quite quickly just before I went to bed, considering it is quite late (2:40am) and I need my beauty sleep.

So the yesterday I went over to my best guy friend's house, I still feel awkward about how to refer to him so let's just call him Cody.

This is him:


And I was originally just invited for the afternoon, although I'm guessing he had alternative motives all along because his family started arriving at 1 in the afternoon... Anyways. I went over to his house, his father picked me up around 11am and he first surprised me with a gift which was quiet lovely! A simple gift, but a surprise none the less, mostly because we had many conversations about getting each other gifts and he had basically said it was terrible at buying gifts, never did for anyone and so I had assumed we wouldn't get each other anything. So I thought it was nice he had got me something that I'd actually told him offhandedly that I liked. Which means he actually put some thought into it and listened to what I had said I liked.



So that was lovely. The rest of the afternoon was spent playing Super Mario Brothers on the wii with his sister. And then as we had planned, I was supposed to leave before his family arrived for dinner. I wasn't told the reasoning, but I had assumed that his parents had said I wasn't allowed to come when he had asked simply because his other siblings have girlfriends/boyfriends and if they had allowed me to come then they would have had to allow everyone elses dates to come. Which I completely understood and respected so I didn't push the issue but then as they had set the table, his mother realized she had set one extra place setting and said "oh well I suppose shelby will have to stay for dinner to fill it, I don't want my table uneven" Which OF COURSE reeked havoc with Cody's siblings because they found it to be unfair. And so I told her I didn't think I should stay because that would be unfair to them, and I didn't want to do that. Now I should clarify the younger siblings are the ones that thought it unfair. But you see cody has some very strong willed (older) siblings and they got it in their heads that I was staying and so they came up to me saying "you are staying for dinner" and when I tried to argue they are just like "no you are staying" Sooo I sort of let myself get pressured into staying. But I had an absolutely wonderful time! I just love Cody's family far more than words can explain. And Cody is just awesome, a huge pain in my butt, but awesome. So overall I just had a wonderful time! And it was especially nice because the day before I had visited with my family and it really wasn't that festive or enjoyable, so it was really nice to have a lovely christmas dinner and day with great company! :D

In other news, I got a BLACKBERRY today. :P Yes... I know... you don't need to say anything.



Teehee Good evening. :-) Let's hope Fatima posts soon!

Love Shelby

Shelby has returned.

I think I'm in love with someone. :-) haha that statement sounds like a paradox just because I seem uncertain. I'm not uncertain about whether I love them or not, just about what that love means. The first two days of christmas break have been wonderful. I spent the first day shopping and I was in an absolutely horrible mood, but then I went to the movies with my friend Cody, his brother and sister and his male friend who is an exchange student from London, England. We went to see Tron and although I'm still uncertain about my feelings towards this movie, the company was absolutely wonderful. :-) Today I went over to his house again very early this morning and we spent the morning and afternoon together. Sadly we had to cut the evening short, as I had to return home to decorate the tree and visit with guests. Which reminds me... we FINALLY got a real tree! I convinced my parents :D and I absolutely LOVE IT. So that had been my first two days of Christmas break. I've also been dressing up nicely and doing makeup which I missed so much! I got some absolutely brilliant gifts from my aunt.

Gift 1 pictured below is GLEE season 1 dvds and it came with a journal.

Gift 2 is a Tim Mcgraw greatest hits cd. So I never knew that I liked tim mcgraw until this summer when I started listening to him because of one of my friends loves him. And then the other week while procrastinating studying for exams I rediscovered his music and i was like "OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE TIM MCGRAW" so this is sort of a new love obsession. :P


I got a few other AMAZING gifts from her, but I can't be bothered to run into the other room to grab them. MY christmas grumpiness has gone away, for now. But my mono is making me have very sudden energy level changes which lead to mood changes. So I've been irritable and difficult to get along with lately. Well... I'm always difficult to get along with, but this is especially so now that I'm sick. haha Oh well


So I realized I really discussed nothing about this mysterious person I am in love with... perhaps I shall leave that until the next post. Sharing the story with you can be my incentive to write again. :-)
