Merry Chrismukkah!
I'm coming home from the hardest year
I'm making plans not to make plans while I'm here
And this life has been no holiday
A complicated situation
I'm fine with all my memories
So I can use vacation
It's Christmas in California
And it's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
But I'll take a west coast winter to
Remove my splinters
It's good to be alive
I'm coming home to the lights and buzz
Streets look the same but still
But nothing's as it was
And this place is paradise I'm sure
Here's my reservation
I've gotten lost here once before
Inside a good vibration
Time it's said it stops for no one
The seasons come and go and
That's just time
Time, it stops for no one
The seasons keep on going
Whether or not we're blind
--Jack's Mannequin
This song's lyrics are scarily everything I feel. That Andrew McMahon sure does get me.
First off, Merry Christmukkah to everyone. Hope your holidays are going well. Mine are going, at least from what I can tell from my position here on my bed. Since I've been home, I've been having these headaches, and it's just very nonconducive for a happy holiday. Like, I'm not sick, sick--you know runny nose, cough, sore throat, etc--but these sharp bursts of pain hit my head for a few seconds at a time, which would normally be fine except that I've had them since Thursday and nothing I take makes them go away. Plus, I've just been feeling really cold lately, like I am freezing when it's like 75 degrees outside. I've got some muscle pains too, especially my back. So, I could have malaria, meningitis, mono, an aneurysm, or any number of things. My parents think that I'm having a bout of exhaustion due to finals, and now it's catching up with me when I finally have nothing to do. Which is just perfect. Hopefully, if I just take it easy for awhile, I'll get back to normal. I'm going to take a nappy until my pain goes away. Hope Santa brought you all what you wished for!
