Camping and New Years

So this Tuesday was the camping trip. It got off to a rough start (we ended up leaving an hour late), but we still got there in time to get a spot and set up a tent before dark. Overall I'd say I had a nice time, we mostly just played Apples to Apples and then my friend Carla and I walked around the camp site for an hour or two, I don't really remember. When we got back, Isabella (Wrinkles from before) and her boyfriend Jon were in the tent alone together so Carla, James and I ended up sleeping in my car.

When we woke up it was 45 degrees. I know that's not much for most people but in South Florida that's freezing so we drove off the campsite just the three of us and went to Dunkin Donuts to get some warm food and then came back. Then we decided we'd screw with the guys sleeping in the tent and we took it apart while they were still sleeping in it. It was pretty funny.

Eventually Jon accidentally locked his friends keys in his car, so we had to sit there and wait for someone to come open his car, but then they couldn't get the trunk open, which is where the keys were so they had to wait for a locksmith. By that time I was hot, and ready to go home so half of us got into my car and drove home. So, even though the end and beginning of the trip were kind of sucky it was still nice overall.

And Happy New Years, I guess. I really hope 2010 is as good as 2009 was.

Christmas and Beyond

My Christmas was nice. I got a lot of cool clothes that I wanted. (this, this, this) I also have another box of stuff from Topman coming in the mail so that's pretty exciting. For one of my stocking stuffers my Dad gave me a gold tie bar, which made me pretty happy. So, all in all, I'd say it was a pretty nice Christmas. I guess the only thing I wasn't too fond of was my sister's boyfriend showing up; he's kind of obnoxious and stupid.

The next day my fiends and I exchanged gifts. I ended up getting three pairs of the exact same shoes, which was kind of funny. My best friend, Wrinkles (it's just her nickname) gave me a really great sweater. We ended up playing that game where you put a piece of paper on your head and try to guess who you are:

Like this.
Or this.

Jon, (Wrinkles' boyfriend) didn't really seem to like it, I think it's because he wasn't very good at it. He's actually been getting on my nerves lately. I think it's just because I'm starting to get jealous of all the time he and Wrinkles spend together though. We're all supposed to go camping today, so we'll see how that goes.

Firsties

So I just started winter break and I figured it might be nice to have somewhere to write things down about my life, or current events or whatever it is I may want to write about.

I'm 18 and I live in South Florida. I go to high school and live a pretty regular life. I'm gay, and I guess that's a pretty important part of who I am. Essentially, everybody knows (except for my parents, and not for a lack of me telling them). It was more of a big deal when I was younger, but now it's not so problematic. Kids can still be dicks about it, but it's much easier to deal with now.

I'm pretty interested in clothing and art and aesthetic stuff like that. I'm taking a lot of art classes this year and I'm really liking them. I want to do fashion when I'm older, but I want to do film also; I've yet to reach any consensus, but I still have time to decide. I guess it's good I at least know I want to do something artistic.

This seems like a good enough introduction for now, so I'll leave it at that.
