I walked around downtown for a bit then I came home.
I opened my Christmas presents from my dad and stepmom, as I would any other year on Christmas eve. I called my grandmother (dad’s mom) and spoke to everyone there. It was kind of wierd knowing this is the first Christmas eve i was not there. I got some nice gifts from my dad and stepmom, including a cool picture frame with a sand dollar explaining it….my stepmom normally makes something for us all (me, my brother, step brother and 2 step sisters) every year and it is pretty cool. I will have to put it up somewhere.
In the evening I went out to The Cafe as I felt like dancing and needed something to do. I had fun, but it was nothing all that exciting.
I find that being gay it is very hard to meet friends without first having some interest in a person. It also does not help that I am shy and very picky about the people I want to be around. It normally takes about a year until I tend to be somewhat close to someone as far as being friends, so I am really looking forward till the end of next year, hoping I will have some close friends like I did in college and in Raleigh.
Ok…bedtime, got to get up early (well, early for me, not for them) to open presents with my mom, stepdad, brother and grandmother….
