I have been keeping in touch with my friend Carlos through e-mail since we moved, which was nice. We send messages about books, as if we were still in school together and could talk about them. Yesterday his message said that he has a new girlfriend and she does not wish for us to be friends any more. I'm not sure what I should say back. I don't ( Read more... )

My sister has sex with men she met on the internet, my counsin killed herself in front of us, my other sister has moved away, I failed my History exam, my brother doesn't seem to want to be near us and everyone is crazy.

I sometimes wonder what death looks like but times like these make me glad that I have never seen it. Only experienced the pain it causes to me and others.

Christmas was an awful affair. We had a gorgeous dinner and far too much food for me to eat but then Diana told everyone that she's having a baby. I think mother nearly had one of her own then in shock, or whatever the phrase is, I do not know.

I'm very sleepy from a few days that have been very exciting. Tomorrow we shall go to mass at midnight to celebrate the start of Christmas. I'm not sure what I think about Christmas, but I enjoy the carols and I enjoy being with family. I have even bought presents for everyone, with the help of my older sister Esperanza. And it is good to see Mona ( Read more... )
