Of Christmas and George Michael
Oh, the spirits are running high again, peeps! :D I baked cookies yesterday, drank hot buttered rum (hellooooo!), sang Christmas songs and the day before that, I strolled through the city and giddied over the decorations and lights. I'm actually going home to Bumfuckvillage tomorrow already, which I'm finding awesome. <3
Not-quite-so-awesome christmassy facts:
- I've been running on a sugar and cookie and junk food high for days now, even though I had planned to only go food-crazy for the span of three days prior to till two days after Christmas. Fail. At this rate, I won't fit into any of my regular pants by Christmas.
- For the next couple of days I have a to-do list from here to Bangladesh.
- I've been meaning to write one fluffy Christmas fic at least. Instead I last-minuted my ficlet for the QaF Gift Exchange (or did I only imagine the deadline being the 20th?) and it's not very fluffy. Or at all. But yeah, requested such.
- That stupid cough is still there and robbing hours of my sleep. I'm starting to think that I will forever be on antibiotics.
- Even though I'll be home-home for five days, which I generally associate with chillax time, I feel like there'll be little actual relax time. You see, I'm one of those people who can't get anything done (or even do fun stuff) when I know that I have to be somehwere in like, four hours. It's ridiculous, but most of the time, I can't help it. The only times when I can fully and consciously enjoy relax time is when I don't have to be anywhere for the rest of the day and/or don't have any bigger things to get done that day.
- I hate Christmas tree shopping. I don't want to go without tree but I don't like buying them. They're bulky and spiky, leave a needly mess in the car and they have a bitchy attitude.
- I told everyone I'd bake some cookies. And I did, yesterday, but the problem is that most of those are gone already. In my defense, I shared with quite a few friends. So anyway, I'm almost certain that if I spend another afternoon baking cookies, it'll kill the joy of it.
- Christmas is fricken expensive. :(
- How did this list turn out so long, omg? :((
other thoughts:
- I'm thinking of boycotting New Year's. What do you think? And how is you guys' Christmas shaping up this year?
- Can it please snow already?!
- I've heard Wham!'s Last Christmas not once so far this year. And I have just thought of a crazy theory as to why. I don't know if this made international news, but George Michael was, until most recently, I think, hospitalized right here in this city, after cancelling a concert. My theory now: klutzy little Austria tried to show some sort of respect by not blasting Last Christmas everywhere. ...?
And with that brilliant insight, I will bid you a good night. Sleep tight, Neverland!
