Every year for breakfast on Christmas morning... we have a very Jewish breakfast. It's totally weird and I don't know where the tradition came from, But we usually have Matzo Ball Soup and bagels with lox and junk. I dunno! It's strange!
Also, every year in our stockings my sister and I get a LifeSavers Christmas storybook think. It's this fake book that has packs of LifeSavers in it. We don't do it for any particular reason, but it's something we do.
This year's been the least traditional Christmas we've ever had, though, because we don't live in our house anymore. Our family is spread out all over the place, but we were able to pull it together for the holidays, which was nice.

Sadly, I usually feel a let-down. Like there's all this buildup that's super-fun for me, but then Christmas isn't really that magical itself. It's the time before that where I get to wear stupid Christmas sweaters and cut out snowflakes and eat candy canes and stuff that's the most fun. And then Christmas comes and I can't do none of that anymore! What's up with that? Of course, there's always New Year... but usually that's a bit of a let-down, too.

I really like parties, but I actually like to throw them more than go to them. I force people to dress up and then I get lots of plastic champagne flutes and party hats and noise makers and junk. I have a lot of fun just setting up for the party by myself. BUT, alas, I have nowhere to throw parties anymore, and I don't want to "get wasted" on New Year's Eve, so I feel like I probably will be in my pajamas early that night.
Also, I don't like making New Year's Resolutions. It's setting unnecessary goals for myself and only laying on more pressure. So SUCK IT, RESOLUTIONS. I'M GOING TO STAY FAT AND LAZY IF I WANNA.

now?
smile like you mean it.

Christmas Eve at grandmas house: painful.
in multiple ways.

Christmas at home: fine with me, dissapointing to everyone else.

So I'm in the CA. So far I'm having a good time just hanging out with my family in So Cal. Been doing some shopping, buying new clothes primarily. I've been sticking with a lot of Earth tones. Greens and browns are in for me. I got some brown eye makeup, and I think it suits me very well.

I'll be in Nor Cal on Wednesday. I am looking forward to seeing all of my pals. We need to get together. Maybe even do a little drinkin'! Play some games and get drinking. Also, let me know your guys' days off. I want to go to San Francisco, and I'll pay gas and drive you if I can drive your car there :3

However, I'm determined to make it to Pinkberry before I leave So Cal. I'm so food trendy!

not until you spend time with ALL of your loved ones. those be the rules.


2010, oh i can't wait for sweet victory's kiss.



361 down, 4 to go.

Copy/paste the first sentence or two from each month of this past year for your LJ Year in Review.

January 4th 2009 - so the russians are prolly on the move, but the chinese seem in order. guess there are pirates and they aren't even as close as i was lead on to believe.

February 1st 2009 - go see Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, like right this second. both movies were fucking awesome.

March 3rd 2009 - darkfail, er darkfall is pretty fun.

April 7th 2009 (the only post in that month) -
i have become
comfortably numb.
i miss the past, but can't get enough of the present, and can't stop thinking about the future.
we need to get out of here, it is not safe anymore.

May 8th 2009 - my ipod is finally dead dead, i can't plug it into my pc and update it with new music, the battery is just too consumed to handle anything other than playing from a direct wall socket connection.

June 17th 2009 - on june 4th, thursday of 2009 i dislocated my right arm for the 4th time at work. busing a table, scrubbing crayon off cuz some little kid had to make 3 huge patches, and grind that shit hard into the table mind you. stretching and elbow grease = dislocation.

July 6th 2009 (two days later i became a Dudeist Priest) - first off LJ is 10 years old, i've been with it since it was 3. damn!!!! son!!

Auguest 2nd 2009 (got surgery on the 11th) - what the fuck.
like seriously.
stop it.

September 13th 2009 - it just wont leave me along. some call it a monkey, others call it a devil.

October 2nd 2009 - with all the subtle changes.
the words behind the actions.

November 2nd 2009 - well my halloween was interesting to say the least.

December 7th 2009 - i can't decide if i'm enjoying it a bit too much, or the insanity has finally taken over full blast, but in the end all that matters is if the times were groovy, right?

xmas in 5 days, 4 actually. and new years in 10! 365 days no cig, time to break that cycle imo.

this year sucked, well ok not really but it had a lot of suckage, more than it should have. but i don't blame anyone but myself seeing as how it was my own fault.



it's funny how those random snippets from other people change and impact ones life in unexpected ways.


...and he revealed the answers as if showering the land with water for all.


i really really really really need to get out of this place.

when you figure out hot chocolate only makes you feel better if its made for you by someone else.
