It's nearly Christmas!!!

What's everyone getting?

Seeing family? Getting wasted? Having fun?

What you doing over the festive season? Tell me!

I'm getting CDs, books, games and DVDs. Though maybe not all. I'm just getting one or two of each. I'm going to be writing a lot over my 2 week holiday because I'm getting behind on my novel, and some full free days should boost my word count a lot more!

(PS Let's not make this into a religious topic, okay? I know I'm an atheist)

Christmas! My favorite holiday! (besides my birthday! :wink: )

I think I'm going to get some Inuyasha DVDs, some CDs, and an archery set if my parents have a death wish. :wink: I'm also seeing my family, but that doesnt garuntee fun. In fact, I know already that it's going to be downright boring.

I, too, will be doing a lot of writing over Break. Heck, I already have! I'm also doing a lot of sleeping. Mmmm...sleep...

We're opening all presents on Christmas Eve, which is really wierd, and we're only doing it because we have to get up early to go to my granddaddy's ranch/place on Christmas. I'm supposed to be getting at least two books(I pointed them out, so I better get them!), two CDs(told them which ones enough times that I should get at least one), Spiderman 2 DVD(which I better get. Grrrrrrrr :xmas_evil: :twisted: ), and a gift card. I've accidentally seen the Dove Chocolates that are going into my stocking :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :xmas_wink: :xmas_cool: . And if those aren't for me........... :xmas_evil: :xmas_evil: :xmas_evil: . Whatever I don't get for Christmas, I'm getting just four days later on my Sweet 16 Birthday! :mrgreen:

I'm gonna try working on my story at some point. I've tried to catch up on sleep, but this ear-ache I had/have kept waking me up. Hmmm. Gotta go shopping, of course! Maybe finally watch a movie with my neighbor. Work on a project for History. Watch movies. Play games. Catch up on my tapes of Buffy(I've got piles of 'em :roll: ) Maybe get a hair cut. All I can think of right now....

Heh. Christmas. Yes, I forgot.

Forgot, you say? Well, yes. Actually, I keep doing it. I keep reminding myself that Christmas is almost upon us, and I keep forgetting. You know why? Because someone is ARRIVING on Christmas, and I can't help but think about HIM instead of the event in itself.

Because we both told each other we loved one another and, well, I haven't seen him in six months... so it's going to be awkward, but I'm going to see him for the first time in half a year. So excited... no idea...

I'm not sure what I'll be getting gift-wise. Probably some colored pencils, a band T-shirt or two, some new boots, a few Sandman comics... maybe a few books. I don't know. Honestly, I don't particularly care. I could get nothing... nothing... and I'd be O.K. Cause I'm going to see him. And I'm so damn excited...
I'm not even angry... I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me... And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.

Hmm...what I am getting for Christmas...well, thats no wonder due to that I raided where my parents keep the presents :twisted:. I won't get a lot of presents this year but I will get money so I can buy the stuff I want, and so my parents don't get confused and buy me something corny :twisted: :twisted:. I don't know what my brother is going to get me though...probably a video game or a CD or the Star Wars 4 disc DVD set. I got him a U2 CD that I got really cheap at Wal-Mart.

We might go to see our relatives, but I don't think we are, and we might go camping or to Big Bear Mountain through my 2 week break, sometime in the weekend. My family will probably play a couple of board games and rent some videos on Christmas Eve, too.

As for writing, I have written a lot over this last days of sweet Winter vacation. About 15 some pages, more or less. I will try to get to at least 100 pages typed over these 2 weeks, but I might get writer's block again (that is why I haven't written in a long time).

Hmm, I have also used this week for exercise and all of that because when I go back to school I will have to run the dreaded mile which I can run in *cough*cough*7 minutes*cough*cough*. I might also use this time to study math and english, maybe history, but I doubt it.

Well, thats all that I can type right now, my fingers are aching and I don't want to ramble on too much, so no one will read what I posted.
Gotta a find a woman be good to me,
Who won't hide my liquor, try to serve me tea.

I'm one of the lucky ones, where a car seems to just fall into my lap. Kinda a... we both have cars but we need a truck now to haul all this stuff that we're getting for the house and yard (for all these repairs we're doing), so why don't you have the truck, Dee? Yeah, you can have the truck.

Me: ...OK.

Yeah, kinda sucky with low gas mileage, but whatever... it is Mr. Cuddlefish. Mighty.

Well even though it's not technically Christmas yet, I've already opened up most of my presents so I'll just tell you what I got.

Some books (including the second Abarat-yay!) some CD's, a really cool pair of jeans, an ugly sweater, some not-so-ugly sweatshirts, a suitcase, a purse inside the suitcase, some candy inside the purse, some comfy slippers, some gloves, a hat, some new sneakers (my mom is convinced mine are old and ratty), some lip balm, and that's pretty much it.
