Are you lonesome tonight?

...because I am.

I guess I've been feeling rather unreliable in more aspects than one. Firstly to myself for not getting the work done I should be, and secondly to everyone else for who knows how many other things I said I'd do. Lack of inspiration and unforseen circumstances while writing haven't exactly helped much either.

Might just be a random depressive state, though. I tend to get like this after spending rather large amounts of money. Despite trying to keep it in, I decided to try and get Christmas presents for Dan, David, Kim and Ami. Ami's really quite hard to shop for, so I've not succeeded in getting her anything yet. A thought occurs, though- if David and I are both shopping for each other and everyone else in the same place, there's a good chance that we could be getting exactly the same things for one another, which'd be a bind. I don't exactly want to ask him what he's getting Dan for Christmas, but I don't want to have suddenly got him exactly the same thing as David did, or another combination of whatever.

EC Toys finally had some Magician's Force boosters in. I bought a fair amount, because I've no idea when I'm going to be able to get down to Portsmouth again this side of Christmas, or if I even will afterwards due to the huge amounts of money I'm spending.

This part of Christmas really annoys me, actually- shopping. There's this strange and opressive obligation to get presents for everyone around you, and trying to do normal everyday shopping is absolute murder. The shops are packed with people and gaudy decorations, all crowding the isles for the best thing for aunt/gran/the next door neighbour's cat. I buy presents for my sister and my four closest friends each year and that's about it, save for one or two special purchases for other special people. I don't do cards anymore because... I find them a hassle, I really do. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate anyone- far from it, in fact. But if I don't give them to anyone I don't have to feel bad about missing someone out.

So yeah... I sound pretty grouchy about this, but just because I'm in a general "Bah! Humbug!" kind of mood anyway. Mum was suggesting we don't even have a Christmas tree up this year. It does get in the way a lot, but I'm thinking that by next year we won't even be giving out presents. We don't even have turkey.

I have other things to look forward to certainly, but Christmas seems a little bit of an anti-climax anyway. I'm looking forward to performing Alice in January (heh, that sounds odd) more right now.

But, Lady Katana has done a fantastic concept sketch of a n00b from Enter the Net ^_^ It's very cool. Take a lookie, if she gets to post the link.
