I'm Not Going To Complain

We have untraditional ways of celebrating Christmas. Our family dinner usually begins at 2:oo pm and is a buffet that last throughout the night, we wait till midnight to open our gifts, we don't get wasted on wine, and the older relatives usually go gambling at some point. Considering my last post, it seemed that we weren't going to be celebrating Christmas this year, 5 days before
Then one day we put up Christmas lights and a tree. So it was a very abrupt change in attitude. I managed to drop so much money on Christmas presents in a matter of hours, it was ridiculous. But you know what it was worth it. My gifts were a strange eclectic mix I would say, consisting of tiered platters, Nas Greatest Hits, 300, Spiderman 2, and a keychain. But it was the thought that counts right?
Getting to the point, boy did I get an overhaul of awesome Christmas gifts. I had no idea that I had so many gifts under the tree. It also shows that my family obviously knows how much of a fat nerd I am. Well first of all, I must say that this holiday season, I got 3 scarves, hat, and mitten sets. 3! I don't know if that seems excessive but it kind of is because I already had 4 scarves. Although I will admit that I had 0 to begin this winter season. So my total of scarves is 7! One for everyday of the week. And they are in all different colors! I'm actually sincerely excited for all of my scarves, hats and mittens. Continuing on with clothinng. I got this. Not the girl but A Harry Potter Gryffindor blazer structure with detachable hood. Lovely I must say. I have been dwindling on my blazer collection, but seriously how nerdy could I be? I'm a college student obsessed with a series books that has just ended. There are still movies to be made and a theme park. I still have time!
Other such clothing items I received are old navy cashmere sweaters. MAGICAL. Well not as magical as HP blazers but softer. Jeans and a tshirt.

What is that? You ask. It's a Dwight Shrute Bobble Head. Yes, I received that for Christmas. Secretly, I had wanted it, but was not brave enough to muster the courage and forfeit the moolah to own such an item. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to receive it as a gift.
From my mother, the subtly of care in my physical appearance. A bare minerals bare escentuals starter kit. I also have been actively saying I wanted this, but would never buy it and never thought I would receive it. So excited I am that I will look oh so natural and stop having a cake face without a fear of that line on my chin. Magnificent. This gift I recieved accompanied with a scale that tells me my body fat and my hydration level. Mother dearest is implying that I should be putting myself on the market soon? Makeup and a scale? Thanks mummy.

So there you have it. Christmas gifts for a fat nerd. Fabulous. Hope ya'lls have a good one.

Believe me.

Jesus. I have been home for a day. I am bored already. We don't have a christmas tree up. We don't have christmas lights up. I think my family forgot about it this year. *sad face*
I lost my library card. So I had to get a new one. Lame Cakes. But here are my predictions for next year
2008 is gonna be great
*I will lose 20lbs.
*Amy Winehouse will die
*Someone will die at a Girltalk show
*Albums of the year
So Many Dynamos
Born Ruffians
Hot Chip
Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos
Gentleman Auction House
*Michael Cera will have jumped the boat ( I have no idea what that means)

I don't know I am really bored.

Final Final Countdown

Only 6 hours before my last final! Ayii and I go home. How glorious!






But I got this book from my secret santa and I feel like I am going to have all sorts of fun with it.
Addition: I was looking at the end of the book and i read the biography of the author and the illustrator and it listed their past jobs and it was (i combined them)teacher, pizza maker, ice cream scooper, nightclub owner, and writer. And i tutor preschoolers, am a pizza maker, used to be an ice cream scooper, a writer, and hopefully next year will be a nightclub manager. So basically I could've made this book myself!

If you check my last.fm right now. You will see all the embarrassing songs that I am listening to right now. If you could see all the songs that I've downloaded. I found this magically url that if you plug into google and fill in the artist you want will yield you all this free music. It mostly works for mainstream, but some links have expired so it can be exhausting and frustrating when all you want to hear is Stop by the Spice Girls.

I decided that I was going to make my ultimate indie family. Meaning just a bunch of people I wish were related to me. I haven't completed or even compiled this list, but so far I know that I want Jeff Tweedy as my dad. He would pick me up if I asked him too.

I think I have carpal tunnel and I have this huge knot in my right shoulder. I pinched a nerve in my left wrist, but it hasn't been shooting any pain lately.

I hate my psychology book with a fiery passion. I seriously want to burn it into the fiery depths of hell. It's a terrible book designed for a college student with billions of irrelevant pop culture references and the worse part is that its not in columns. That gets me the most. Who doesn't write books in columns? What an arse.
Ex. page 656 has a picture of leonardo decaprio
page 670 has a picture of brooke shields
page 734 has a picture of harajuku girls
page 755 has a picture of Ron Artest of the Pacers' attacking a fan
page 766 has a picture of George Bush and John Kerry (claiming that GWB is more attractive than JK and that is why GWB won the election)
Actually those were the sections I just studied, but now I will look in the name index and see how many celebrities I can give you guys
Ex. Bloom, O. - page 100
Pitt, B. - page 370
I can't do this anymore. It's frustrating me too much.

I'll be home tonight.

It was the thought that maybe I would do something for myself. As I laid down on the train tracks I thought, " this is going to be great for my figure, right?"
"OH YES IT WILL!", announced the gathering crowd.

He unlatched his helmet and placed it on the table. It didn't look right so he turned the table around. She walked into the kitchen and asked, "why have the tables turned?" He replied, "because that's the way I want it to be from now on."

"This wall is in my way."
"And? What are you going to do about it? It's a wall."
"I'm going to walk through it."

It's Not Scary Until It Happens

The other night I had a dream that the world had a regular occurances of locusts. They moved in and out like fronts of weather. It was so normal that it was broadcasted like weather. Today we have a front of locust coming from the north and moving down towards the central Illinois. Frankly, it was one of the worse nightmare I had in a while.
The dream consisted of me and my friends wanting to drive to Chicago, but I had to get back to St. Louis by one. We were trying to rationalize when would be the best time to leave and get back. We considered that it would take 2 hours to get there and get back, BUT we had to make more time because there was a severe locust warning that we would have to drive through. Imagine driving through a swarm of locusts. Terrifying.
Well I wondered why in the world would I have a dream so I went to a dream dictionary and looked up locusts. I didn't think locusts would have any meaning or that other people would also have locusts in their dreams, but it means that I am lacking creative and emotional stimulation...
