Once again, I post on Christmas. And once again, I begin with all the phat lewt I received. So far. I believe there are 12 books in there. ( Click here for almost as much reading as I have ahead of me. )
In non-present news, my Christmas was pretty good. My mom's Aunt came here on Thursday to spend the holidays. We also picked up my aunt on Saturday, after attending an evening Church Service with her. Everything was pretty good. It took us something like 4 hours to unwrap presents as my Aunt, my mom's Aunt, and to a lesser extent, my mom, are somewhat slow at unwrapping presents. I really miss Carmen, even though I last saw her around 5:00 on Saturday, and talked to her three times throughout the day. Christmas just seems like the last day we should be separated. In my opinion. Oh well, I'm going to her dad's place for dinner tomorrow, so that will be good.
Now, because I don't post in Livejournal all that. . .well, who are we trying, to kid, I never post on Livejournal, and because I didn't really know how to bring it up in conversation with my friends, I figured now is a good time to tell everyone . . In the summer, my grandad passed away. He broke his hip, and seemed to be recovering after a few days in the hospital, but caught pneumonia, and passed away not long after. That was bad enough. But not long after that my mom told me that my dad wasn't doing so well. For those who don't know, my dad had alzheimer's disease. He had been in the hospital since the end of grade 9, and his conditioned steadily worsened. It happened so gradually that it wasn't a big hit to me. It was worse for my mom I think. Anywho, my dad wasn't doing so well. At my mom's suggestion, I called into work and got the day off, and we headed off to the hospital. Not too long after getting there, my dad passed away too. All my siblings, my mom, and my dad's ex-wife (my sibling's mother) were all there at the time. It was pretty hard, but for all intents and purposes we had lost him long ago; he stopped recognizing us years before, and by the end he wasn't really aware of anything. . .
So overall the whole summer was hard on me, but it was much worse on my mom, who had two estates to deal with in rapid succession, in addition to the emotional side. She was able to get stress leave from work, and used the next two or three months to do all the paper work and rest and recover. I'd really like to apologize to my close friends for not telling them. Especially Brett, whom I've known the longest. I didn't mean to keep it a secret, but like I said, I didn't really know how to bring it up in a conversation.
Anywho, if anyone actually read this, thanks for letting me get all that off my chest. And sorry for the long post. Maybe this LiveForum isn't so bad. I hope everyone had a good Christmas! |

Christmas day seems like as good a day as any to make my first actual LJ post. But I'm lazy so all I'm going to talk about is all the phat lewt I got. So here I go. Brace yourselves:
( From my Mom )
( From other family members )
Thats about it. I'll probably get more when I see my dad's side of the family some time soon, and I'm pretty sure I'll get something tomorow from Carmen when I have dinner with her and her family.
In non-present news, I had a pretty good Christmas. My mom's aunt has been here since Thursday, and having her here for Christmas kinda ruined it, but I got to open stockings with my mom early in the morning before her aunt woke up, so that was nice. I went to pick up my grandad and aunt around 3:00. They live down in North Vancouver, so it was a good half an hour drive. Gave me some time by myself. Just listened to Metallica on my MP3 player, so that was cool. We had the obligatory huge Christmas dinner, and I had more then my fair share of red and green M&Ms. Everyone is staying over tonight so we aren't rushing around getting everyone home now that we are all tired. The worst thing about today was being unable to see Carmen. I havn't been able to talk to her since like before 12:00, and miss her terribly. I can't wait until I can see her tomorow, even if that means having to brave her dad's side of the family, as well as some family friends.
So yeah, there is my first post on LiveForum LiveJournal. I better get lots of comments or I'll be very discouraged. |

Alright, just so everyone knows, this is Bryan. Bryan Stone. I'll probably just use this thing to post non-anonymous comments and maybe using it too get in contact with people who are too big of jerks to answer their phones. (RP group I'm looking at you! *shakes fist*)
Anywho, add me to your friends lists if you want, no big deal (except you RP group, it is very important you add me), and I'll add you to mine. Should be a good way to talk to you people I don't see as often. |
