A Conversation With Myself

____I always get a bit uneasy before New Year's. Why? Because I start thinking about how the New Years is all about changing an aspect of your life in order to make yourself happier. But the thing is, I'm sort of already happy. Anything I've wanted to change I've already changed, and now the change must simply go through with it's changeliness. I don't know about you guys, but I'm really not one that's for this so-called "change" (*Republican ideology? I'm trying to keep this blog politically neutral, oopsdamn). Whether it be something simple like writing '11 on your paper when before you wrote '10, or something like when that funky facebook changes it's layout yet again and forces you under that omnipotent bridle of a new profile, change is just awkward and uncomfortable. And the fact that this particular change is untouchable except for a number doesn't help the transition of from what seems like the same thing to the same thing.

____But it is inevitable, this change. It haunts us like a prickly cactus does whilst we are strolling through the endless sand dunes of an ice cube, like a sad ghost who lost his ghostly pencil eraser that he needs so dearly since he is unable to utilize real pencil erasers, like the fluffy afro who was shaved from his owner's head and now wanders aimlessly through winding alleys cloaked beneath the darkness of night.

____Clearly what I'm getting at is that I am indeed terrible at this concept of change. I always have been, I always will be. For New Year's, my goal should be to accept change-- definitely, yeah! Let's all go out there and change ourselves, right here, right now! Right? No? You know, I'm good where I am. See? I did it again. I never stick to my resolutions and I think I do better just deciding on my own when something needs to be done. You think it would be the other way around since I'm your average A-type organizational list-maker. But I really do need to start posting more.

____So anyway, if you read all that, what are your resolutions? You serious ones, I mean. Not the ones about losing weight or becoming a better person. I'm talking about your plans to make Pluto a planet again or to have an intense staring contest with a fern. Okay, GO!

It's Not Always So Cold in December

____This is the first time I got to use my new remote for mister camera! It was sort of an exciting experience. Ah, but how I wish I could be a good blogger and wake up when my alarm goes off in the morning so the light in pictures wouldn't be so treacherously white and my hair wouldn't look like the sun bleached it out. I shall learn from this mistake, huhuhu. Anyway, today's travel led me to the very exotic and wonderful location of.. the land of the sewer monitoring place thing, yeah! I could hear the water rushing below me and I smelled the occasional pretty smell of, errr, leaves and unicorns. Unicorns have a very distinct scent, you know.
____I really don't have anything important to say today. Nothing stupid or useless, either. All I did was wake up late and go to art class to draw some with the only other friend of mine who decided to show up at said art class. We made up stories with the nude models in the art books, such as describing how we could use this one model's boobs as a ramp for a snowmobile to jump off, etc. Typical mature art student stuff, yessir.

No Grinch Lives Here

____It's snowing on Christmas Day! This is so exciting since its the first white Christmas I've had. The snow isn't really sticking to the ground much and resembles a layer of slush as of now, and so unfortunately no snowfeesh shall be crafted this year. But it's getting thicker as time passes, so there is still plenty of time for snow to pile up. At least the snowflakes are giant enough that they basically consume any person who dares walk outside. Seeing people being ravaged by voracious white fluffs of cold makes up for the lack of sticking. Smite, my monster snowflakes, smite all you can-- ahahahaaaa! At least he few flakes that decided to stick or melt did so in very photo-opportunistic places, as you can see by my collection of wintry photos. It may just look like rain fell, but it was snow before, I promise!

____Anyway, I hope that you citizens have all had slash are having a very awesomeriffic Christmas! I do wish that you all received everything you wanted and that everything is good that you are as happy as a cow in an endless pasture of green.

____I got a many fun thing for Christmas, mostly clothes since I was unsure of what else to ask for! I was thankful for everything I got, it was much more than I expected or could even dream of. As you can see, I got this lovely pair of Jeffrey Campbell booties. I also received this beautiful navy blue wool military style trench coat that makes me feel like I'm riding on a horse in the American Revolution, awe yeah. Was not expecting that one. Do not even know how the parents knew about that. My grammas and granpas were also very kind-- my mom's parents sent a pair of shoes and a handmade striped skirt (yup! My gramma Nami, skirt maker extroadinare) and my dad's side sent a super pretty mermaid necklace. You all shall surely see these things in some outfit posts soon!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Merry Christmas!

This Too Shall Pass

____Good citizens and blogosphere, how I have missed thee! I shall have some catching up to do and most definitely some intense commenting to do. The evil aura of exams has finally dissipated, so alas, I am free and giddy as a fish in a newly changed bowl of water.
____There is much cooking to be done in our household. I baked about 5 dozen chocolate chip cookies last night, but they are already halfway destroyed, as are the peanut butter cup cookies. It seems to never end! We've also decorated inside and out of the house, pluuus I made my teachers and friends some clay gifts which I will be posting pictures of soon!~ I still have some more things to make soon, too, for parents and brother, hummmm, must do that soon.
____So, yup. This is one of my outfits from exam week. It's funny how I'm more comfortable wearing something like this than jeans or sweats. Jeans make me feel so constricted and un-free from this mighty earth. Prancing around in tights, skirts, and dressies is much more fun and natural and great and wonderful. Hoorah! I hope you all are having a pleasantly cold day!

As the Last of Autumn's Leaves Fell

_____So, I received these reindeer antler and nose set for my car, right? Yeah. So, I put them on, and they were so awesome and Mr. Buggabug was so cute and awesome. Minutes after I left Mr. Buggabug alone, my dog descended from those fiery flame pits and tore up the squishy red nose. Days later, I accidentally rolled a window down all the way and an antler snappped off and onto the road, never again to be seen or heard of. He never even bothered to call home-- ruuude. My mom has fixed the nose, but my car is still one antler short. We have declared him a unideer, kind of like a unicorn, but a reindeer. I get sort of sad when I see these cars with two antlers and I wonder if they judge me, I really do.
