thanksgiving

11:30 AM- i woke up about an hour ago. my whole immediate family (except auntie julie & uncle dom) is coming over for thanksgiving dinner, well, lunch. they're supposed to be arriving at 2:00. my dad made me clean my room. sometimes i really think it's useless, it'll just get messy again. whatever. i'm starving. i've been starving since last night actually, but i ignored it since today there'll be a lot of food, so i'm making myself wait till 2:00. i'm crazy obsessed with this cover song called corona and lime, john's voice is so perfect, it's the best i've ever heard his voice. at least i think. but whatever, i looooove it. i'm not a big fan of the verses though, a bit too vulgar. i'm staring at my polaroid camera, i'm dying to use it. i'm gonna go film hunting sometime this week, and if i don't find anything, i guess it's amazon.com. i need to stock up before there's no more! :( how unfair, i finally get one and i'm not even able to use it forever. and oh, if you haven't seen the movie, "in the land of women", watch it; it's amazing.

8:26 PM- everyone left about 15 minutes ago. i washed the dishes, fred tantern (baxter's nickname), now i'm here. so zia antoinette, sarah and chris arrived on time. my nonna&nonno were a bit later, uncle joe was even later, but uncle gino and samuel were latest. everyone loved the food my mom and i made. my mom and i worked as a team two days in a row, that's an accomplishment. everyone ate way too much but uncle gino toped everyone, he ate four plates.. how he did it, i have no idea. then dessert, which uncle gino did not part take in (which is understandable), there was apple pie, and ice cream. i'm not a big fan of either of those, but it was still good. tantern was hiding under the bed all day, he's still afraid of people. uncle joe brought this wasp toy. it flys. it goes really high, too. i ended up the one fetching it every time it crash landed. i didn't mind. zia antoinette was on my bed when i went inside, so i joined. we noticed a huge spider, with white spots. my mom and nonna came in. the fearless woman my nonna is, she volunteered to get the spider and put it outside. which was awesome, because i hate killing spiders. my nonna got up on my bed, stretching to reach the sealing where the spider was. zia antoinette, my mom, and i were all watching intently as she did this. next thing we know the spider fell on my bed and everyone was screaming like they were getting raped. personally, i screamed because i didn't want it getting lost in my bed, if it did, that's gross and i'd never sleep there again. the others screamed, i dunno, i guess cause it was unexpected, and a spider. so funny. nonna got the spider and ran outside and put it on the floor. twas a happy ending! around 7:00 PM it was getting so boring, i just wanted people to leave so i could go about doing my own thing. i called joe, which cured some of my boredom... but then he had to go back to his nonna's house, grr. but about 30 minutes after that people started leaving..
