a pleasant surprise Christmas Eve! *sigh* it's here. I had a lot that I want to write in here, but I think I'll save it for later when I find a little more motivation for putting those thoughts into words. I just wanted to make a little note about a pleasant surprise I got today (boy it was a surprise lol). I was online earlier this afternoon, and you know that feeling of seeing someone on your buddy list, and wanting to IM them soooo badly yet knowing that it might be incredibly foolish and restrain yourself (maybe it's just me?). Anyways...I gave into one of those temptations today. Honestly I don't know what possessed me to IM this person...I haven't spoken to them in the LONGEST time, and after hitting the "send" button it hit me at how odd it probably seemed. But to my surprise they responded nicely that they were getting ready to eat dinner and open presents so they had to go, but would talk to me later. Me thinking: "well yes, it's nice that they responded, but ha. what was I thinking? We don't even talk anymore." So I mope around the house waiting for my dad to pick me up (ugh...YES my mom and Terry are in Shrievport right now...insane? lol yeah...my parents for ya.) Well, as my dad and I are sitting around waiting for his girlfriend to come over and watching A Beautiful Life, I decide to get online just to see who all's on. And to my utter surprise the person who I had attempted talking to earlier had IMed me! Ok yeah, this probably sounds incredibly petty of me...but honestly, it made my day. It's amazing how just a few kind words can fit into that little place in your heart...even for just a little bit. Just to know that someone thought about you today. It's Christmas eve...nobody in the world should feel alone on Christmas eve. I don't think I'd wish that on the worse scum in the world. So I propose this: let the people in your life know how much they mean to you. There's no better time than now, and you never know...something that may seem tiny to you may mean the world to someone else. Well...gonna get ready to go to the traditional Christmas eve mass. I think we're going to the midnight candle service this year. Should be very nice. Merry Christmas everyone. Love, Jen
