Pretty much sitting at home right now, unable to go to bed even though I am super tired because Chris has to drop off my contacts case when he gets off work. And that could be late. So updating the journal it is. Soo.. wow, I hate this cause I don't friggin' remember what I did that long ago. Ok, howabout Christmas. I went back to work just before Christmas, and I got mostly better. On the twenty-third, I went and saw Chris and gave him his presents, which were an Avenged Sevenfold tee-shirt with a special... note inside it. And some machineheads so I never have to see those terrible plugs ever ever again.

      Soo where was I going with this. Right, So Chris got sick. It was so cute. He went up to Washington the next morning and got back on Boxing Day. So on Christmas Eve I shopped like nothing else and finished sort of. I wanted to go to Timmy's and get some stocking stuffers, but low and behold, they closed at three pm and I was twelve minutes too late. Some time right before the malls closed, Keith picked me up and we went to talk to his friend and attemped to go to Dairy Queen but that was closed too. I hate the holidays. Everyone but me should have to work. Right on. Went to the Christmas Eve service at my parent's church. Fross was there and we went for a drive, saw his POS car, and he helped me FINALLY set up our Christmas tree. I drove him home around elevenish and then I went back home and we each opened one present. Mine was the "Sweet & Twisted," tee-shirt from Bluenotes.

      Christmas Day was cool. Lots of CD's, specifically Kelly Clarkson and Avenged Sevenfold wrapped together. Blink 182 Greatest Hits, Dashboard Confessional, I don't remember what else. Another 6PAK for Mt. Washington which I have already started using, some crates for my CD's and DVD's, and tonnes of chocolate. Seriously, I don't know when I'm going to finish it all. My entire family went chocolate crazy this year. Oh, Laine got me the best present ever. Four boxes of Smores Poptarts and a gift certificate so that I can buy more. I got him four boxes of Smores Poptarts too. That was pretty friggin' hilarious. Umm, on Christmas night, Candace's family came over, plus Mike, and Candace's grandparents on one side. We had a big dinner and it was yummy. Lots of coolers and sparkling apple juice for me. Oh. And turkey. I love turkey.

      After that Me, Candace, Mike, and Shane went swimming at the hotel where her grandparents are staying. That was niceness. we attempted to surf on lawnchairs. It was awesome. The next day I took my dreads out. Or... sometime around then. Needless to say, they are out and I am sad. I again have normalish hair. I don't know what I'm going to do about it. I almost cut it the other day, but Chris has made it abundantly clear that he does not want me to cut it. I can manage that. I'll probably just grow it out and get Chris to put the dreads back in. My roots are orange still. Even though I re-dyed my hair. Oh well. Maybe I'll dye it brown or something crazy and then dye it all one color afterwards. Damn hair is so annoying. Me with brown hair. I've never quite mastered that look. I still think it would look cool with my blue eyes, but it didn't work out that way last time. Dave from work said I looked evil.

      Anyways. Chris got back on Boxing Day. I had to work It was sorta crazy, but I've seen worse days. I don't really remember any of these other days since then, but I would assume I spent lots of time with Chris and the boys. Oh God, I'm trying to remember anything that happened between then and New Years. Went to Pita Pit with Jesse and Brie and Chris. Chris Chris Chris. Ok, whatever I don't remember anything else. On the 30th, Chris' parents stopped by the store to say hi and asked if I wanted to go to the mountain with them the next day. that was pretty wicked. They like me! I told them Chris and I were already planning on going, so we would probably see them up there, but we had to leave early so Chris could get to work on time.

      New Years Eve. I got to sleep over at Chris' the night before, so we could get up and go. We left Nanaimo around 8:30 after Timmies. It was an okay day at the mountain. Quite busy with long lines. Didn't get very many runs in. Had lunch at the bar, where the waitress was all, "you guys have pretty young faces, can I see some ID?" Goddamn just ask for my ID, don't give me that crap. Anyways, so I sucked the big one all day and Chris whooped my ass, and we left at two. Chris dropped me off and I got all pretty. I put on my black dress and "hooker boots," and my hair was all lovely and nice, and I broke my mascara in the frustration of trying to look good. In the end I was pleased, so I called Chris to tell him how smokin' I looked. Chris told me he was taking me out for dinner by the way, hence the dressing up. Anyways when I called him around six, he said he would be over shortly... eight thirty rolls around and he's not there, so I decide I'm going to Candace's. Just as I have finished taping a note to the door and am walking out with my keys, Chris pulls up and... takes me to Earls. We had Martinis! (Not Andreas! Thank God!) Just kidding, Andrea, I love you even if that Martini was terrible.

      So... Earls. Yummy. Cool waiter. I didn't have my ID, so he let Chris order two martinis... end of story. Uhh, from there we stopped by Candace's, so that I could give Alyssa her Christmas present and be generally ignored by everyone. That was a good time. At least I got to see Alyssa. Finally, we headed over to Marks, to get him, Keith, and Adam Power. We WERE going to go to a threatre party with Chris' friends but Keith wasn't down with that, so we went to Chris' house instead. Adam Power and Mark and sort of Chris proceeded to get drunk. Adam Power got REALLY drunk. It was funny. Then the boys went out and had their Captain Blacks. As against smoking as I am, I can't help but be turned on when a guy is smoking... it just looks damn hot. Yes. Yes I am sick and twisted. Chris is sexy. What can I say? Uhh, Laine and his awesome girlfriend, Alanna came over. She is ver cool. We decided after I talked to her brother that I was going to have to come over and rap California Love with them.

      Ahh, we started watching Keith's "snuff porn," which was cheesy and hilarious. It's called Cradle of Fear and it's sick and hilarious, and I want to finish watching it. So does Laine, so I'm not alone. Lots and lots of death. So great. Midnight rolled around and I made out with Chris. (What else?) Uhh, we were all kinda bummed or tired and not really into partying. But Adam, Laine, Mark, and Alanna went to Mark's sister's house and partied there all night. Keith went home, and I stayed over at Chris'. It was a good night, overall. Chris. You are awesome. Umm, New Years day, Chris and I were really super lazy all day, and decided we were going boarding today... so I slept over again, and we went boarding today and it was a beautiful day. We met Laine and Taylor there and it was great. I sucked all morning, but did better in the afternoon. Got wet and cold, but had fun. It was so busy that all the parking lots were completely full, and we had to park on the side of the road along with a few other hundred people.

      We got home a little after five, and Chris had to work at five, so we hung out at Domino's until eight, and it was dead, so Chris slept under the table and I took pictures of him. He is so awesome and sweet. Very kind and different from everyone else. Yes. Well, at eight I was really tired, so after the store got paintballed, (we assume it was Mark and Jordon) Chris drove me home... in his paintballed car. I was going to go to bed, but then I remembered I left my contact case at Chris' so I called him and he is going to drop it off after work. Darn, what a shame, I will have to see him again. Ahhh, so excited. And so very very tired from not a lot of sleep.

      In closing notes, I got my hours cut again at Culture Craze cause it's January, but Heebs, and some other girls are leaving, so hopefully (even though I will miss them) I'll get some more hours then. Also we are moving the store next to Payless Shoes, and apparently there is a snowboard shop moving into our old location. I am so updating my resume and trying to get a second job there until my hours pick up in a couple months. Ahh, there was something else... talked to Phil a few times, Chris and I will have been dating for a month on the eighth. Might be going boarding with Brodz on the seventh. Argh, what was the other thing? New Years resolutions? Get in shape for my course. Lift weights for ten minutes every morning, and go for a run at least every second evening. So far... I have let to start. I'm doing well. I want for body mods in the near future; my nipples (maybe), my VCH, and a side lip ring. I also want my autumn leaves and tree tattoo on the side of my thigh and over my hip. It will be sexy. Anyways I will update later if I remember anything else. Later kids. Chris, October 29th? <3 You're the best thing that ever happened to me.... well... one of them at least. But you're definately up there! You're "Tasha."

      Ps. Everyone go listen to this song. http://www.purevolume.com/grimusshackca. One, because it is a really good song. And two, because Chris screams in it and he is sexy and it makes me like the song even more because when he is on stage... it's hot. I can say that much. Also check out (Yes Chris, I am shamelessly advertising you) http://www.myspace.com/magogsdeception, for more Christopher goodness.
