the time in the season where i shrug a lot and don't make excuses for my choices in gifts is fast approaching...and right now i am sitting the fence in what direction to make my mistakes in gift giving this year...i like to buy late and i like to buy odd, and i don't actually care if it makes you wonder why i bought it, cuz when i give a gift...just like when i do anything else...there are alterior motives to it
a long time ago i learned that life is much better (better = interesting) when every little thing you do has a subtle barb or maybe praise or just refence to something else, along with whatever your original intent was...being multi-layered is a choice in life that i have found completely irrestible... so this year i am thinking about buying books for everyone, think about the joy of finding the perfect book for each of my couple of friends....i could get a book for my dad on responsible child rearing, or a book for steve on passive aggressive behaviour...if you don't know steve you won't get that, how horrible that you don't know steve...
i am still no closer to my life goal of becoming a stand up comedian, but i think i'm going to set my yearly goal early and say that i'm getting on stage next year i will be turning 25 and though thats not nearly old enough to seem tragically funny, its not going to matter, cuz my material is great, and i am just damn fun to be around, when i want to be around that is....
oh yeah i got a new LJ icon, its me in a scarf, i like scarfs, because i hope when people see me in one, they imagine i am involved in some sort of bi-plane-ery....
