Out Of The Fucking Blue On iTunes: Not actually iTunes; it's on the tv, some classical stuff. I think the title says "Hero and Leander" but I'm not sure. EDIT: 8:39 ... Commentary! Shin: That's such a horribly sad story. You've got to be able to market that.. people love the tragic and pathetic. Panda: God, don't remind me. I think I've got to go out tomorrow and finish or I'll just go insane. Good luck, comrade, and may the Christmas Force be with you! Charlie I wanted to do that so many times, but I don't think I'm quite at that level of deviousness. Not yet. Ask me tomorrow, though. >_>; Baron: Yes, it is much too tempting for its own good. ^_^;; Sykle: I always try and get nice, meaningful gifts for my family, then some cool/goofy gifts for select friends, and then cards for everybody else. This year, I'm making scarves for half the people I know, which does wonders for holiday spending, heh. Don't know what you want? Fine, have a scarf, bitch. You'll wear it, and you'll like it. ....Ahem. Sarah: You would so take the fat woman down. If only I could be there to share in the moment. That's true holiday spirit right there. Beautiful. *sheds tear* Azure: Material .. girl? .... are you sure? *peeks under skirt* ;P I find it slightly interesting how I actually update fewer times when I come home, even though I technically have much more time to get things done. Although, I also share a computer with four other people, and my mom starts to nag when I've been on here for longer than an hour. As far as I'm aware, she doesn't do that to anybody else in this house. I have an interesting relationship with my mother, though, and that's another story for another day entirely. Anyway. I've finished a couple scarves, so hopefully I'll get those sent out Monday or so. Not having a car becomes more of a significant problem when I'm at home instead of in Tallahasse. There's all sorts of crap on campus, including a post office, so I can pretty much walk just about anywhere. I suppose it wouldn't kill me to walk places here, either, but half the side walks are torn up because there is construction everywhere. Some of it looks to finish up soon (soon=the next couple months, probably), while some of it has just started and will take much longer (much longer=the rest of my freaking life). I might suck it up, though. Haven't finished Christmas shopping yet because I don't know what to get half of my family members. I know that I'm at least making something for all of them, but I really wanted to add a few other things to that. I like to give gifts, whether I make them or not, and they know this, and it aggravates me when they don't give me any definite ideas to shop for. I especially hate that, "Oh, I don't really want anything." Bull. Shit. First of all, it's freaking Christmas, everybody wants something. You know you're going to get a gift, so you might as well make sure you get something you actually want, right? Number two, as I've previously mentioned, I enjoy buying things for people, and this is common knowledge. There's no need to act shy or humble, especially when you share my blood - I know you are not either of these things! Come on, now. Shopping in general has been a negative experience this season. I went with my sister yesterday and she drove me crazy. There's too many people in general. And again, when I don't know what I want to buy, it doesn't help matters. Both my parents have been working a lot, especially my mom, and they're both just getting over colds, as well. Tempers have been short, and as usual, every body is annoyed with every body. Except for my brother, who manages to remain completely aloof to everything. As usual. Today was partially relaxing and partially boring. I read a book by Guy Gavriel Kay and that made me exceedingly happy, but apart from the book I was also exceedingly bored. Played some Starfox, watched Elf, did a little writing, played some more Starfox. I kind of wanted to get out of the house and go see "Closer" but my sister took the car to get ice cream with her friend and I didn't really feel like being terribly social and calling somebody up. I'm being entirely pathetic right now, and it's disgusting. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, but it's not looking good. Must remember the little blessings. Must ... remember .... arrrgggghh.
