"A Problem Page For All!"

Agh! I want to buy everyone presenst, too, but what money do I have? Like a bunch of coins, and $15 in my room. Sheesh. I could make everyone stuff, but what? My family has been making things for years and years - aprons, pot holders, candles, clothes, sculptures, earrings, plant pots - and I feel like there's nothing left to make! I love painting bones that I find, but I don't think I could find enough.

Unless I want to go wandering endlessly through the woods and get millions of ticks and pioson ivy all over me.

Sigh. I'm already stressed about Christmas!!

It would be hectic moving back here, because that would mean that jasper would either have to come with me or stay up there paying way more rent than he should. And pat and his friend, who is going to move into Heather and Shawn's room when they move out, might feel betrayed if we just suddenly ran away back home, you know! I so would love to be where I love - Point Arena, Mendocino - more than anywhere else again, and work at the cafe, and just chill out. Sounds like the slacker life, but I really, really, REALLY love home! I'm so spoiled!

I would love to send you pictures of my house and the area I live in! And pictures of Elizabeth and I. Is that OK, Zibbie? Zibje? Heh. I have some in Eureka, so when I go back there I'll make copies for you. Of course, that means you'll have to send me pictures of your place, too - and pictures of your Zandvoort vacation!!!

I'm at home for 5 days. Jasper and I cut class and left early, which is what half the school did, too! My music teacher gave out 20 extra points for anyone who showed up on Wednesday, so that really sucks...

But it's the stupid college's fault for not letting the students get a whole week off for Thanksgiving, which is what Nathan's college did. Snarl.

Ja, ja, jup, write back when you can! Feel free to be as lazy as I am! Hehe!
