I've been watching some friends of mine on tumblr count down to the Christmas special, which is, of course, in two days, and I realized that while I'm happy for my friends who are still in the fandom... I don't feel anything. I don't care.  I thought I still cared a little bit, but I don't.  I'm going to be at my parents' house in the land of one ( Read more... )

Now that I have attended both family Christmas gatherings, I feel safe in posting my Christmas report.

Yesterday morning was the traditional family breakfast with my parents, my dad's parents, and my Great Aunt Lorraine.  It was a calm affair, as one might imagine, three of those in attendance being over the age of eighty, but I love my ( Read more... )

I arrived in Visalia last night with a minimum of fuss.  There was a bit of fog in the Valley as I was coming up, but I had good visibility most of the way, and I was never really worried.

I did most of my Christmas shopping today, which is odd for me.  I'm usually much more organized than this.  However, today found me going to the both malls on ( Read more... )

First of all, I would just like to say Merry Christmas to all of you who read this.  You guys on my f-list make me smile, cheer me on when I need it most, and bring an amazing amount of happiness into my life. I wish you all the best today.

Christmas was a calm affair at our house this year.  The people at Christmas breakfast were me, my parents, ( Read more... )

This morning, my family celebrated Christmas for the first time out of an eventual three. Today, Christmas Eve, was our traditional Christmas breakfast. My grandparents came over, as did my Great Aunt Ruby, my cousin Fredonia, and my Great Aunt Lorraine. Now, we usually do this breakfast business on Christmas morning, but since Christmas was ( Read more... )

I meant to leave the house yesterday morning at around 10 AM. However, my need to get in one last Final Fantasy X fix before being without it for a week prevented me from leaving as early as I would like. (More on my impressions of this new fun way to waste my time later.) So, I sat on the living room floor getting all of the members of my party ( Read more... )

We had our annual Christmas party/gift exchange last night, which ended up being very fun and worth all of the preparation we did. We ended up getting our tree and decorating it all on Saturday. Luckily, Rei saw an ad for fairly inexpensive trees, and I really like the one we got. It’s not scraggly at all, and it’s nice and tall and fresh and ( Read more... )

On this last day of 2004, I figured I’d better write a bit about what happened over Christmas… My time at home was a lot of fun, but not overly earth-shattering. I went to the mall for chai at least once ever thirty minutes, or so it seemed. Meg and I took pictures together that ended up being very cute, I watched a whole lot of second season ( Read more... )

My room mates and I finally have our Christmas gift exchange on Sunday, since all of us and Laura-chan were finally in the same place at the same time, which was an amazing feat. After that, we all headed over to the bookstore since it was finally safe to pick up books that no one had bought for us ( Read more... )
