oh, winter. you are so extreme.
Winter is such a bizarre time of the year.
I say this about most "times of the year", but I'm really feeling WINTER, right now.
It's so weird. I mean, this is a season that I look forward to, every year. Home from school, baking cookies with Mom, delivering Christmas cheer to Dad's employees, being giving, sharing with my family. The whole thing! I love Christmas!
I'm always upbeat when I hop onto my computer before bed (which apparently you're not supposed to do, because the bright computer screen messes with your brain and says "IT'S MORNING WAKE UP SLEEPY!" and you can't get to bed on time... but I do it anyway because Amy plus internet equals love) but when I pop onto livejournal... ?
Everyone is talking about how SUCK their lives are!
I'm glad that people are getting these feelings out on livejournal. Don't get me wrong. It just makes me wonder if everyone on my friends list has seasonal depression. :(
You know what?
Go do something fun! Make something of this life you're leading! GO HUG SOMEONE. Have you heard about the positive effects of human touch? Hug me! That's like... a double-whammy!
I wish everyone was a glass-half-full kind of person. I think I'd get fewer weird looks from people. Sometimes I think pessimists think I'm mentally deranged.
Can you learn optimism?
PS. Winter seems like a wonderful time to fall in love.
I've also realized that I'd like to open up a bakery, sometime. Something reminiscent of Victor's. I want to go to work in a tank top and watch people eat my cookies with smiles on their faces.
I have so many things I want to do. Do you? Is that weird?
I need to update this more often. I feel like I have enough material in my brainbrainbrain for three or four good entries.
Oh. And I'm performing in a Christmas ensemble with Irv (the coolest 50-something guy you'll ever meet... see below) at his church on December 30th. If you haven't run out of Christmas cheer by then, drop me a line and I'll send you the specifics. Should be fun. :) Very non-denominational (which is good for me, since I haven't been to church since early high school) and open.
Irv is awesome.
