She is breathing isn’t she?
Well, she is alive it turns out, but really not doing well and will most likely have to be taken to a hospital 
Hope everything turn’s out all right.
Leirin, I’m so sorry to hear that! I’m glad she woke up, hopefully it won’t get any worse! 
Very sorry to hear that, Leirin! I hope your mother will be fine and that it will get better for her.
I’m really sorry to hear that, Leirin. I hope she gets better soon.
Current Mood: Relieved, because this person responded to me. They weren’t just ignoring me! Yay… 
Mood: So, so happy and excited! 
Reason: I finally got my driver’s permit! It took us over a year to get around to it, but we finally did it! Now I just need to learn how to drive… 
Mood: Tired
Reason: WOrk was really hard
Mood: Relaxed
Reason: Yesterday was full of stuff. I was walking from around 1 to 7 with pretty much zero rest. Just walk, shop, walk, shop! And I didn’t eat anything until lateish, so I was a little cranky, haha. So today I’m just going to relax, bake some Christmas cookies, watch Christmas movies, and listen to Christmas music. Maybe if I have enough time I’ll even paint some more stuff in Photoshop!
Mood: neutral
Reason: Still need to find a good time for the chat
Current Mood: Happy
Reason: Relaxing with my Mom and puppy on Christmas , and watching The Chipmunks. And, I get Christmas Eve leftovers 
!
Mood: Upset
Reason: Christmastime is my favorite time of the year, and both Christmas Eve and today have been crummy and stressful so far. My boyfriend went back to Michigan to see his family and I’m with my mom and no one else at home. Yesterday she spent the entire mid-half of the day reading a book about heaven on her kindle, and whenever I ventured into the living room/kitchen, she would bombard me with information I found uncomfortable to discuss—and she was well aware of that fact. So I basically stayed hidden in my room most of the day. Did I mention I have a cold as well? We went to a close friend’s home for Christmas Eve dinner, and while we got there at 6 and they were still cooking, no one ate until midnight. I’m not joking. MIDNIGHT! It also doesn’t help that because I’m vegan there is literally almost nothing I can eat except raw fruit and veggies, and neither my mom or I have any money to buy groceries (or else I would have brought my own food). That’s not my host’s fault at all, but it was kind of ridiculous that they took so long to serve us food, because if it was earlier I would have been home earlier. I was super drowsy because of my cold, lack of eating anything for 12 hours, and being awake longer than normal, but I was pretty much trapped there until dinner was served. I got home at 1:30, ate some rice and OJ, and went to sleep, not waking up until 9:30. The tradition in my family—whether I’m at my dad’s house or my mom’s—is to exchange Christmas presents first thing in the morning. We’ve always done that. I wake up to find my mom dressed up and leaving for mass, giving me a pompous attitude for not wanting to attend mass (on several occasions she’s implied that my religious beliefs are inferior to hers), and as a result I’m all alone right now. One thing I didn’t go too deeply into is the religious thing. I’m atheist and I celebrate a secular Christmas—no songs, wrapping paper designs, or decorations refer to Christianity—because I feel that Christianity isn’t responsible for all the roots of what we call “Christmas,” and on top of that, Jesus wasn’t even born on December 25th. So if others celebrate Christmas with religion in mind, that’s fine, but I personally don’t do that. Well, my mom has been picking on me because of it; she keeps turning me into the black sheep, and even when we’re around others, which I find disrespectful. She’s upset that I don’t believe in anything, because she thinks I’ll go to hell and that I can’t have morals without having spiritual beliefs. I never initiate religious discussions with her, so I feel it’s fair she do the same, but she doesn’t.
Please spare me your religious judgment. I just want people to be tolerant, especially within their own family.
That is very disrespectful. I’m sorry you have had such a hard time. My Nanas’s the same way. It’s sad they have to hound you on a holiday. I have made it a goal to get along with people, even if they don’t believe the same as I do. Besides, who to they think is gonna respond to alienation? I hope you have a better day for the rest of Christmas.
I should probably start on my New Years sig.
I know, especially on Christmas, which is my favorite time of year. Oh well. Next year I’ll be spending it with my dad and boyfriend, I hope. My dad’s going to pick me up soon, and I think I’ll have a better time with him.
Even as someone who does in fact celebrate Christmas for the religious side of it, I gotta say, that does seem very needlessly harsh of her and I think everyone should be allowed to celebrate the holiday how they want regardless of their beliefs. I’m really sorry you had to go through that.
queen_of_painting- I hope you do. I know it totally stinks being around a person with such a closed mind. Merry Christmas to you, anyway . Here’s hoping that the rest of the day fairs better.
Current Mood: Sentimental
Reason: Just thinking about PP and the way it was when I first came here. And wishing it was the same in some ways. I’d have loved to communicate with some of the hallmark members like PV and Dash. And I miss discussion threads being active.
Current mood: Elated.
The Beach Boys always lift my spirits and way of thinking!
Yay they’re one of my favorite bands.
