gone is the ceramic manger ornament
oy. my mom is home for christmas, and then permanently. That should be interesting. When I'm with her, I feel like I'm about three. When we're in the car, she will say something like, "look at the cows girls!" (my sister was there too) I want to reply, "are you going to ask what noise the cow makes?". With my Dad it is the opposite. I always feel like a responsible adult around him-in a bad way. He holds me accountable for things that I don't feel responsible enough about or don't want to know about.
We got our Christmas tree today. It was fun. While decorating the tree, however, I managed to almost knock down the tree and break three ornaments. If I hadn't caught the tree, this year would be "the Christmas Kyle knocked the tree down". Exams are monday. I've been studying all day, except for getting the Christmas tree and decorating it-AAARG. I hate exams.
General question: Anyone know any really good GLTBQ literature? I've read some teen stuff, but the only good teen book I found was Annie on My Mind (in my opinion).
I"m actually looking forward to talking to my therapist about my questioning on /Wednesday. It should be nice to talk to someone face-to-face about what I have been bouncing around in my mind for now-about 2 years. Not so long, but long enough for me.
*random shift of topic* We have a school dance on fri. I'm debating about going or not. It might be fun, but I always feel awkward at dances, and end up feeling out of place and miserable.
time for me to sleep-and then wake up and study for exams again!

hello there
I *love* Annie On My Mind. I heard that there are other books by the same author (Nancy Garden), though I haven't read any of them yet.
A friend of mine is reading a teen book called Keeping You A Secret. I'll let you know if it's any good.
My advice: Go to the dance, but bring a friend. I feel the same way at dances (the whole awkward thing), but when I have a friend there who's willing to have a good time rather than grinding with guys all night...it can be fun.
i love that book. alot alot.
i love that book. alot alot.
she also wrote "the year they burned the books" which is good, and "good moon rising" or something similar. keeping you a secret was very good, as was The Bermudez Triangle (Maureen Johnson), Dare Truth or Promise (Paula Boock),Far from Xanadau (Julie Ann Peters, also author of Keeping you a secret) Deliver us from Evie (M.E. Kerr), Empress of the World (Sara Ryan), Gravel Queen (Tea Benduhn), November Ever After (Laura Torres), Desire Lines (really sad, and i forget who wrote it). Also, Tomorrow Wendy, also forget that author. THose are all i remember out of my head, sorry. and they all are mainly lesbian centered, other then Empress of the World, in which the main character is bisexual. If i think of any more, i'll tell you if you'd like. Try google? And nice cathcing skills with your tree.
parents are evil.
I'm sorry yours are so opposite in that way of treating you. That must be annoying to live with.
Yay! You're talking to your therapist soon! Good luck.
Try not to knock down the Christmas tree again, OK? :)
Are you hanging on to something useless just because you think it's beautiful?
