Today was awesome! Thanks for all the birthday notes!
I had a great time at Universal Studios! I got up early with 3 hours of sleep and spent the day there and then after met other friends for dinner at a quiet little Italian place on Venice. Very neeto gifts too! My mom and sis mailed me a gift. My Bapa (grandfather) mailed me a framed family photograph. My very close friend gave me a picture of Jack n' Sally from Nightmare before Xmas. With Tim Burton's sig on it! That's so cool!
~collect's Nightmare b/f xmas stuffs~
I got some news about work... I am almost positive I am getting the promo. My boss is being transfered and a new one is coming in. The new one is a TGM, which means I don't have to transfer out of my store to be trained. This is great but can be bad. I have High Hopes and will strive for excellence!
The night is young and I am fulfilled with time to myself. The only thing that I wish I could have done was spend it with all of my friends together. But I can't so I comprimise and am greatful.
Though the Tim Burton thing was out of this world... I did get something better...
My little sister called. We haven't talked in 4 months. She wouldn't speak to me because I called her boyfriend.
I called her boyfriend after I found out that he had been abusive to her. When I visited my family on the east coast my sister asked me to go to her shrink with her. Of course I said yes...
Durring the session I am told that her boyfriend had been more then verbally abusive and hit her. I asked what mom and dad did - nothing, they didn't realize the bruise on her face was from him. I couldn't beleive this but she had lied so convincingly.. So I was calm and offered my advice and the shrink said it would be a long proccess for sis to go through and I needed to be patient. PAtieNt! He hit my sister on the face! Ok so I breathed deeply and was paitient. 2 weeks later my mother calls and my tells me my sister is locked in the bathroom screaming on the phone - now she's off. So I tell mother to talk to sis and I call Him. I am sick of this BS of holding my tongue. I am calm and mature and speak to him as an adult. Too bad I was talking to a baby asshole. So that backfired on me. He controls my sister because she is dependent on him for reasons unbeknown to anyone. So I send her a card saying sorry for butting in and she txts msg me on my cell thanks... so we are on txting terms... But I am Patient and give my just turned 20 year old sister distance to learn and SEE things for herself. He hasn't hit her again but she still sees him sometimes. She is getting over him and still learning the hard way. Which sometimes is the only way.
Just some insight to why her phone call was the best gift...
