Best fic snippet ever, y/YYY ? ♥

...I'm not ignoring you guys, I'm just trying to fight through skip=100 so I can get back to the eighty bajillion things I need to get done before the familial seasonal celabrationing gets rolling. Tomorrow night. And I have to work tomorrow. It's very hard to crochet/sew/wrap gifts/bake when you are holding a 3-month-old and/or chasing a 3-year-old. Fail, world, fail.

In other news, I saw Sweeney Todd on friday and it was lovely. ♥ (Random Anthony Stewart Head, FTW!)

What did I do to celebrate the new year? Flew back from Maryland. Yay for surviving!

My mom came to pick me & Jen up at the airport and she brought my sis & my nephew with, which was quite adorable because Luke spotted us and came running for us, yelling my name. This picturesque moment was shattered when his pants started slipping down; he got distracted pulling them up and started running around in circles, forgetting all about his beloved aunt. Oh well. It was really cute while it lasted. And I saved him crackers shaped like airplanes which he was fairly impressed by.

I was tired enough from traveling that celebrating the new year didn't seem that important. I barely managed to stay up until midnight, kissed Jen, and promptly went to bed. Not my most enthusiastic new year.

Spent most of today packing up and getting back to the dorm, which we're currently trying to make livable again. We seriously need to wash out the fridge. It's gross.
So it doesn't much feel like New Year's Day.

I might post a x-mas haul list in a few days once I unpack. I didn't get anything particularly spectacular, so you're not missing much. Helen came by today to give me prezzies. She let her boyfriend help her pick out gifts again. *headdesk* Anybody want some hardcore lesbian porn?

The next three weeks are going to be pretty boring, with any luck. I am very okay with that. *cuddles compy* I missed my computer muchly.

Also, I have a killer bruise on my knee because Jen's mom's house tried to kill me. I was just reminded of this because Jen bumped into it, and you know what? Bruises HURT!

I don't think I have anything else to say. I don't want to go to work tomorrow. At least part of this is because I don't know if I have to or not. I'm splitting hours with somebody and she hasn't e-mailed me yet to let me know if she's working tomorrow or not. I guess, if I don't hear from her tonight, I will go in and be annoyed if she is there, too. *is annoyed*

The most important thing I did in the last month is get addicted to Scrubs. If you have never seen Scrubs, then you are a sad and deprived person. If do not believe me that this show is awesome, simply go watch this lovely music video on youtube.

Okay, I'm done. I shall stop blathering and annoying my friends-list now.

Spam? Who? Me?

( my xmas stocking )

Put something in my stocking! Pweeese?

The holiday_wishes comm intrigues me. I browsed it for like three hours this morning, and was fascinated that I kept finding things that I actually could easily do for people. So I think I'm going to. I posted a list over there & now I'm off to go figure out what I'm going to do and for whom, so I can start contacting them. ^.^ This pleases me ridiculously.

I can't decide, though, if doing it through a comm like that, is better or worse than doing it on your f-list. Obviously, more people seeing it = more people who might be able to grant your wish, but there's a certain closeness and strengthening of friendship if it's someone on your f-list who can do something for you. Hmm. Requires more thought, I think.

So.... random update-y-ness.
X-mas was good times. Got lots of stuff. Including barbie dolls from my wonderful girlfriend. Because she loves me. And I wanted them. So, yay!
Oh, and I got Brothers Grimm on DVD, and about three sets of pajamas, and a truly gorgeous and highly expensive necklace from teh girlfriend, as well as assorted other odds and ends. (Did you know they make teeny tiny little miniature Uno decks?)

Been kinda out of whack for the last couple of days because I stayed up all night on x-mas day so we could go after-christmas-shopping very early on the 26th. I took a nap that afternoon and have been sleeping and waking at strange intervals ever since which has kinda led to me not really knowing what day it is. Not to mention the fact that my girlfriend went to sleep while I was only napping and thus somehow managed to turn her sleep-rotation diametrically opposite of mine. I went to sleep at about 2 in the morning yesterday, which was a few hours after she woke up, and when I woke up shortly after noon, she had just gone to sleep. She woke up at about 2 in the morning and now, a few hours later, I'm tired and about to go to sleep. Eventually we'll get this sorted out. I think.

Also, I'm having a grape smirnoff twist because there was no grape soda in the fridge. And I definitely spilled it in my keyboard. Somewhat interesting, considering it's the first time I've spilled something in my keyboard and I've had it for two and a half years. Unfortunately it's probably not really a good thing. It's kinda sticky. But it seems to be working fine right now, and hopefully it will dry out okay.

Well, that is my update. Night guys.

Well, I was gonna let Rita tell it first but since she's so *slow* and still without power in her living room, I guess I'll have to cut in line.
Damn, she beat me to posting!

So, yesterday me and Jen had to take Rita to the emergency room.
Because she was having an allergic reaction.
To something.
Whatever.
She's fine now.
Not the point of this story.
The point of the story is that since we were already out and about, Jen and I decided to go shopping after we left Rita safely in the care of her mommy and the hospital. So we went to Wal-mart. And the mall. And out for chinese food. But the grand total of this experience is that I ended up spending nearly $150 on x-mas presents and stuff. At least it's november so I don't feel like a complete loser for buying x-mas presents already ~*cough*Jen*cough*~.
Thusfar I've only bought stuff for... 4 different people. I'm having a major block trying to figure out what to get some people. *grr*
I've almost entirely decided what to get for a few people, I just haven't actually gone out and gotten it yet. And I don't know where the hell I'm going to store all this crap after I have it. Damn dorm. But Yay! for shopping!!! I get a truly unhealthy level of satisfaction out of spending money. I'm such an American. I almost think I should be ashamed of this... nope.

Anyway, what should I get my mommy for x-mas?

Well, Christmas was pretty nice. In my family, we exchange gifts on Christmas Eve night, so we did all that yesterday. Got some good stuff including a new black jacket, King Arthur on DVD, a frog bed canopy-thing and some other clothes. I also got a very expensive, very pretty pair of earrings from my sister Susan because she's just like that. None of the family that was supposed to come over for Christmas Eve made it because of the shitty-ass roads, except for those that were already here before the weather went to hell in a handbasket. Susan was going to come on Christmas day anyway, so she was here. Helen's family came by today instead of yesterday. Danny may come by tomorrow or he may wait until New Year's Eve.
On Christmas Eve I went over to my sister Tamie's house for awhile because she's currently angry at our mom and refuses to speak to her much less see her. After I came back from that, I mostly just hung around and ate homemade pizza (a Christmas Eve tradition) until we decided to just open the presents already because nobody else was coming. I think my nephew got more presents than everyone else in the family put together. The worst part is we've been trying to teach him to open presents and Luke just refuses. You tear a corner so he can get a good hold on it, then you try to encourage him to grab it and rip it open and he just looks up at you. So then you tear it a little more and try again and before you realize it, you've unwrapped the whole thing and he's still staring at you like you're an idiot. Gee, I love kids.
Anyway, we waited until it was officially Christmas (12:01) to break into the stockings, in which I got a pair of snowflake toe socks, some Cinnabon lip balm and I forget what else. After that, I hung out and talked to my brother Michael and my mom's boyfriend Bruce until about four in the morning. And then I didn't get to sleep until five because I wandered off towards my room and got distracted on the way there because my sister left the Blue Collar Comedy tour playing and I ended up watching half of it before I managed to drag myself away. Damn Jeff Foxworthy.
I got dragged out of bed at the crack of noon (way to start Christmas properly, huh?) and mostly sat around and hung out with family and friends and played with the baby all afternoon. Talked to Kristin (krisskyo) on the phone for awhile somewhere in there. After dinner we ended up playing a round of Cranium (which is a *crazy* fucking game. if you have never played it, you should) and after that we played Black Jack with my new poker chips (oh yeah, forgot to mention those). I spent most of that several hour time span trying to play while holding a sleeping baby. Which sounds sweet and adorable, but 20 pounds of sleeping child gets heavy after three hours!
It's after 2 AM now and I think about half the people have finally gone off to bed, and I guess I'd better go see what trouble the rest of them are getting into...
Is it bad that I'm kind of more excited about New Year's than I was about Christmas? How the hell did the year 2005 sneak up on my like that? I love New Year's, but I hate new years. Yes, I'm aware I'm silly.
In other news... I seriously need to get away from these people before I lose all grasp on the english language... even my *thoughts* have a frickin' country accent and it's only been a week... I just need to keep telling myself: I do *not* talk like this. I do *not* talk like this. I do *not* talk like this... Hell, most of them don't normally talk like this either; Bruce is just a bad damn influnce...
