It's the most wonderful time of the year
Like the Christmas decorations? I'll change songs as I find new ones I like. ^__^

Also, I almost used a Christmas quote I used last year. It got me thinking 'bout my Quotes of the Day and Songs of the day. A proposal to you all: Anyone who finds me repeating a quote or song will get...I dunno, some kind of prize. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm wearing contacts now, and I must say, I look too sex-ah for my glasses. And I have a new watch. Combine that with my new hair and my winter wardrobe, and I'm lookin' pretty sharp. Oh yeah!

Though I might need to get my eyebrows waxed.

I present my psyche report tomorrow; I'll post it on Otakuboards, if anyone wants to read it.

So, since when is life experience an impediment to debate? I was just told on OB that my views of communism were basically useless because of what I saw in Slovakia and the Chek Republic as a child. (Communism = Bad). Apparently, I'm "Biased". Well, duh!

I mean, I have an opinion that was formed by my life's experiences; isn't that how opinions are formed? Isn't that how life works? And I admitted up front that I had this bias; it's not like I'm hiding it. Shouldn't we want to include the effects of previous communist systems in our discussion on communism?

Sigh.

So, it's Christmas time! Yay! I've got all my gifts bought and wrapped; they must only be distributed. And I'll have to buy a gift for the store's Secret Santa program, but that's not important.

I'm sure at some point I'll do a post on all the PC-ification of Christmas and the desire to remove the "Christ" part, but not today.

Today, I'm done.

Thought of the moment: I need a box to mail Steph's gift.

   Half way there
I took my psyche exam and my hummanities exam this morning; they were much, much easier than I thought. Or maybe I was just really well prepared. Whatever. I also sold my psyche book for a quick $40, and finished shopping for my Foster Angel.

Granted, tomorrow I'm going to take it in the wallet, hard. But it'll be worth it to be done with Christmas shopping and be able to enjoy the season.

I'll decorate this place this weekend.

One of the advisors on my campus, the one I like and actually trust, recommended this college in Sarasota; she thought it would suit me, and said I should listen to what they have to say. So I will.

And tonight, I'm a' goin' to work. On the bookfloor. Evan told me that when there's an opening on the bookfloor, he'll transfer me.

So, all I have to do is kill someone on the book floor.

I'm kidding, of course. A well-placed flesh-wound should get the job done as well.

And Rayne's in a funk; if you have a moment, please say something nice. (I don't care what that guy said, Rayne; I love your art.)

Thought of the moment: I look downright sexy in my new sweater.

Quote of the moment: "You know, I remember when Thanksgiving was it's own holiday, instead of Christmas, Part I!" - Lewis Black

Song of the moment:

"Through the Night", Outlaw Star into theme

Don't make fun of it,
Don't destroy it,
Don't cheapen it.
That one special thing that everyone has.
My love, my dream, and you.
I won't let those go no matter what.

On those nights when you can't settle down no matter what you do
You feel like throwing it all away.
Don't say a word, just open the door,
I don't have time to quibble with you.

I wanna fly all over the place,
I wanna throw caution to the wind!
I haven't lost anything,
I haven't even started yet.

Don't make fun of it,
Don't destroy it,
Don't cheapen it,
That one special thing that everyone has.
My love, my dream, and you.
I won't let those go no matter what.
Whatta ya want?
What do ya wanna do?
Where do you want to go?
Grab what you want and rip through the dark as you run Through The Night!

I was off my guard towards your kindness,
But I was frightened at times
I did whatever I wanted to do
But I prefer your heart.

I believe, I want to believe, I want to distinguish between black & white.
It's not only intensity, it's not only kindness--so

Don't make fun of it,
Don't destroy it,
Don't cheapen it,
Who do you want to embrace?
I think you know.
Only love,
only dreams,
only you.
I can't even protect it. I have to start moving.
Even if I am hurt, even if I hurt you, even if I make a detour.
As you/I please, as you/I tumble, run through the night!

Don't make fun of it,
Don't destroy it,
Don't cheapen it,
That one special thing that everyone has.
My love,
my dream,
and you.
I won't let those go no matter what
Embracing, hurting, losing
Everyone realises their precious things,
At any rate, promises, restraints.
Whatta ya want?
What do ya wanna do?
Where do you want to go?
Grab what you want and rip through the dark as you run Through The Night!

Not yet!
I'm a traditionalist, I'll admit it. I'm not going to start celebrating Christmas until next week. I certainly didn't start before Thanksgiving was over. The commercialization is seriously drowning out the special-ness of the season.

However, I'm also practical, so I did all my Christmas shopping yesterday. Everyone got books.

Scratch that; I almost did all of my shopping yesterday. Like many others in the store, I placed all mu items in a box with my name on it in the front of the store, behind the cash registers. I'll buy it all when the Employee Appreciation Period begins, and my discount increases by ten percent.

Still, everyone got books. Books are nice.

I'll redecorate this place for Christmas this weekend. Don't worry.

I've got a lot of work to get done today, so I'm going to hurry up an' go. See ya'.

Thought of the moment: Need to dig out my Santa hat...

Quote of the moment: "Flame on! No one steal my jacket!" -The Human Tourch, "Ultimate Spider-Man"

Song of the moment:

"So Cold", Breaking Benjamin

Crowded streets are cleared away
One by One
Hollow heroes separate
As they run

You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die

[Chorus]

Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try

If you find your family, don't you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead and dry

You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time

[Chorus x2]

It's alright [x9]

Comet, it makes you vomit
First, a message to some of my Canadian friends who think they're so funny (You know who you are):

American Thanksgiving is on the last Thursday in November, okay? I wasn't late. =P

Now, to begin with, I still feel like crap. I went into work last night, and got sent home because I was really sickly looking. I should be at work right now, but I'm instead under the influence of several medications. Hopefully, they'll make me well enough to go to work tomorrow.

I'm getting contact lenses, but being all sick-y has messed up my trial schedule.

Song of the moment:

"Iron Man", Black Sabbeth

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We’ll just pass him there
Why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again!

I'm just going to make this quick, since I feel like crap today, and being on the computer is giving me a headache.

Even though I have tons of other things to say, I'll just say:

Have a happy Thanksgiving.

That, my friends, is why I never post artwork.

And Julia (<3!) said yes. ^__^

I just realized I ended my past two posts by saying, "Such is life". That's kinda' odd, don't cha' think? Ah, well, such is-! Hey! Don't do it again, Me!

What was I going to say?

I'm ready to finish my psyche project, but I haven't recieved the other information from my partners, so...I can't. I'll harass them about it tomorrow, 'cause I want to be done.

From December 2nd to the 13th is the Barnes & Noble Employee Appreciation period, when the value of our employee discount increases. You can bet your arse that's when I'm going Christmas shopping. Everyone's getting books.

Except Julia (<3!) She's getting tickets to the Moscow Ballet's Nutcracker performance; she just doesn't know it yet, mostly because I haven't asked her yet.

But I will ask her tonight, because tonight we're both required to see a film airing on campus, "Paper Chase". Like I have any idea what that's about? There'll be pizza, though, so it's not all bad.

But, the main point is for me to ask out Julia (<3!), without swallowing my tongue.

Before I got, I'm going to stop by the mall, because the Nintendo DS I placed on hold is there. Yay It'll be a couple weeks before I get a game, though, and I'm still undecided on which one.

I've got to shower, which means this post is coming to a close.

Thought of the moment: The end of class is near.

Quote of the moment: "Sometimes sarcasm helps us think clearly." -Dogbert, "Dilbert"

Song of the moment:

"No Phone", Cake

No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
Ringing stinging
Jerking like a nervous bird
Rattling up against his cage
Calls to me thoughout the day
See the feathers fly
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone No phone
No phone no phone I just want to be alone today
Rhyming chiming got me working all the time
Gives me such a worried mind
Now I don’t want to seem unkind
But god (it's such a crime) [not sure here]
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
Shaking quaking
Waking me when I’m asleep
Never lets me go too deep
Summons me with just one beep
The price we pay is steep
I’ve been on fire
And yet I’ve still stayed frozen
So deep in the night
My smooth contemplations will always be broken
My deepest concerns will stay buried and unspoken
No I don’t have any change but here's a few subway tokens
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone No phone
No phone no phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone No phone

Check it out check it out check it out check it out
Nothing like working a back-to-back Graveyard Shift with an early bird shift, eh? I came home feeling slightly uncomfortable between my hair and my toes, which is why no one heard from me.

I'm back now, but now I must go to school. Such is life.

   Raindrops keep falling on my head
I have it.

I have Vampire Lord!!! Traded for darn-near nothing, I have the secret-rare edition Lord of the Undead in my deck. Ho hah!

Ahem.

I have it.

I have the best fricking date location to ask Julia (<3!) to ever. Ev-er. Ev-ah! The Moscow Ballet is performing the Nutcracker in neighboring St. Petersburg next month. Come on, you have to admit that's cool.

And I'm feeling better about life in general because I finally started working on a big project I'd been putting off, only to find that it really wasn't that big at all. In fact, it was pretty tiny; I'll be done this weekend. Then, all I have to worry about it studying for finals, and I'm home free!

And...since I do'nt really have much else for you all this evening, I'm going to just give you a special feature. It's a poem, by me, that I'm turning into a contest tomorrow. Dig it:

Eyes of Jade-
Hymn of A Devoted Lover

From darkness and rejection
I wish to find myself
I see only imperfection
And I despise myself

Yet she tells me that I am more
Than what I could hope to be
I’ve never felt this way before
Because she wants to be with me

I was lonely and afraid
Until I saw her eyes of jade
Greater than anything man has made
Are her lovely eyes of jade

My artificial blood and flesh
Are validated by her touch
Her voice heals wounds that are still fresh
Her smallest smile means so much

If she were struck by foul disaster
I would not wish to be alive
Of my fate I am not the master
For I need her near me to survive

In my foolish days of apathetic youth
I felt that I had but half a soul
And before me now I see the truth
Hers is the part that makes mine whole

I cannot be without her
My life revolves about her
If I saw her suffer
I would cry
She means everything to me
She and only she completes me
If I were to lose her
I would die

I was lonely and afraid
Until I saw her eyes of jade
Greater than anything man has made
Are her lovely eyes of jade

No one reviewed it on Otakuboards... >P
