And so a new year begins . . .
I hate holidays. Everyone gets so psyched up over them, and it's always a huge let down. Why are we required to have a good time? The stress over having a good time outweighs the possibility of a good time being had. Why? Why can't it just be "Hey, let's eat some food, and hang out with people"? What is wrong with that? Ugh.
My sister really kicked off the holidays this year. Christmas, she at least was here. She hung around, we had family friends over, and she disappeared immediately after dinner, and went to bed. Okay, not so social or festive. New Years, she took off, and helped out her . . . mentor (Pan from now on), for lack of better word, pick up Pan's son in the city nearby (my sister has a huge crush on this kid, who is like 26 or something). That would have been fine, except she didn't call or stay in touch at all. The weather and roads were less then spectacular (freezing rain) and so my mom was a little worried. I called my sister about 1, and this is almost exactly what she said when she answered the phone - "I'm ok, I'm at X hotel with Pan's son, I'm being careful, don't worry." I was like "Hotel room? Well, use your own judgment, and be safe. And if you do drive back, be uber careful on the roads." She did end up driving back, but didn't call home with any details at all today until fairly late. My mom didn't enjoy that, and was a little touchy about the whole thing. When my sister finally got home (not sure when), she and my mom had (and are still having) a huge discussion. At least it hasn't ended with both of them pissed off. So far. Ugh. I wish they would just hash it out, and end up with a solution. I'm sick of them being on the edge of a fight constantly.
I was recommended to a new band the other day (well, new as in new to me). They are called Nightwish, are from Finland, and have a very similar sound to Evanescence. I really enjoy the lead vocalists voice - it sounds so ethereal. Very neat.
Well, that's the news for now. Hope everyone had a wonderful new year and holiday season!

Ha ha I know what you mean. I hate New Years Eve _ I don't know what you guys do over there? But everyone makes a big fuss of it over here and it's like why? It is JUST a new year - it always ends up being really crap, and bars charge you money just to get through the door, it's all a big rip off.
I just prefer to hang out with a few mates, play some games - eat and drink!
As for your sister - I used to do that, disappear after dinner - how old is she? Sounds like a teenage thing - just wanna be alone.
Good news on the band! Do you sing? I love singing, I write lots of songs too. It has always been my dream to sing in a band but never found the right one.
Something else I noticed, It's really odd how the term "Mom" is used, in England we say "Mum" - but it sounds the same? Or is that just me being odd? I never understood that?
Anyway - HAPPY NEW YEAR :)I hope all your dreams come true.
