Recent events recap
So Sunny's funeral was understandably sad. It was really busy as well, despite her family not putting an obituary in the newspaper or even online, aside from the obit at the funeral home's website. A lot of people I knew showed up and it was all really rather awkward.
I mean, if it had been someone older, I think it would have been easier. But Sunny was only 27. And here I thought I was the only one who hadn't seen her in about a year, but it turns out Jessi, who was her best friend, hadn't seen her in person for a year as well.
Plus, a lot of her friends didn't even know she was sick until she had passed, because Sunny didn't like people knowing something was wrong with her.
It was just a very tough day that day.
In other news: things have been pretty normal aside from that.
Sam wasn't able to get leave so he could come in on the 10th. He will be in town for New Years though, and I have made plans with Anabel and him for New Years Eve.
I finished all my holiday shopping incredibly early, so yay for that.
I also happened to make the most awesome Christmas soundtrack mix-CD ever. I figure I'll stick it on top of friends' gifts. It's called "The Worst Christmas Carols Ever." One song is "Carol of the Bells," only with maniacal laughter instead of actual bells. It's simultaneously the best and worst thing I've ever heard.
I have Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off of my day job. So I'll get to relax and be happy.
I had the chance to go to CES 2012, but couldn't make it. I know, deja vu. The guy who was going to go in my place because I couldn't go had to drop out, so my boss came to me asking if I could somehow squeeze it in. But alas, I can not. I'm still holding high hopes for E3 2012 this year!
Also I have decided that Skyrim is one of the best things ever. It's just amazing and I love it. Thankfully, my PS3 version hasn't started lagging or glitching like crazy.
And today, in a few minutes, I plan to run out and get Flirty Cupcakes to have with Jessi, Pat and Caitlin when we all get together for a little mini-Christmas celebration/gathering. :D
Finally, I wanted to just let you all know I made a Dreamwidth account. I'm not sure I'll actually use it, but with the latest LJ update saying the comment system will be reworked (with no subject line) and a new icon system in place and such, I figured it couldn't hurt to have a backup. Plus, you can make a Dreamwidth free or paid account right now without an invite, so that was a definite bonus.
