Daily update
Dec. 3rd, 2009 08:54 pmThings around here haven't been too happy lately. My family's feeling down from losing the house, everyone's a bit on edge, and the only thing in all our minds is the date when we finally have to move out.
In an effort to chase away all the bad thoughts, I've been trying to keep myself busy. Yesterday, I called one of my friends so we could get lunch. We ended up driving all the way back to our college (about an hour away) so we could eat at an old favorite place. We reminisced a lot about the "good old days." ^^; We hung out at the bookstore, and we also ended up watching a movie... so in total, our lunch turned out to be 6 hours long. It was fun though. It was nice to get away from the sadness of home.
Today, I came upon this really cool site where you can upload a picture of a person and have it shown in a short movie.

I messed around with a few pictures, and I used a picture of one of my friends (the one who went to the navy). I used the silliest one I could find, and I sent the movie to him through email. I actually got a call a few hours later telling me how he saw the video and how he laughed till he died. He told me he had a long day, and seeing the movie really cheered him up. Hearing that made me feel a bit better too. He was shouting at me.. "Geez, how many incriminating photos of me do you have in your hard drive?!"
So just for fun, here's the movie with my friend and his ridiculously giant smile and surprised look.
We Need A Hero!
There are a lot of times I get frustrated with friends because it feels like I don't really belong... However, there are still a lot of times when I can share a laugh with them, and that's always a really cool feeling.
I also saw "Christmas at Rockefeller" on TV where they had a bunch of celebrity appearances and when they light the Christmas tree in NYC. It all felt like I was just there, and I could even imagine every detail in my head. Here's a pic of when they were just setting up the Christmas tree.
I thought it just seemed weird how everyone was so happy on the show. It's such a big difference from what's happening in my family right now. Too much sadness. I guess in a slight effort, I want to try to be a bit happier and a lot less heavy-hearted. It is Christmas after all, right? I can at least manage a smile once in awhile.
