(no subject)
i'm finishing my last paper, which is actually a research proposal. it was supposed to be due a week ago, but our professor was 'nice' and gave us an extension. i would have rather knuckled done and gotten it done and not have had it hanging over my head because i didn't do much work over the holiday. 'twas a good weekend though. a nice break from life.
i have decided that i am an awesome gift shopper. my dad has always told me that i'm a generous person, but i think about gifts to the point of agonizing. i hate just walking into a store and picking something off a shelf that has no significance. 'he/she will like it' is not nearly a good enough reason for me. i have this eye for the obscure so i like to get original gifts that really speak to people's personalities. (ex. a signed afi poster i got for rob a little while ago.) i'm still contemplating what to get for my sisters this year. i've got dad done and most of the friend gifts. i guess i'm an early shopper, but it is because i love getting people gifts. i just think it is a really fun hunt.
on the flip side, i am getting some AWESOME books for christmas. i picked out two HUGE art reference books that linda bought for me this weekend one about anatomy for the artist and the other on impressionism, and dad got me this kick ass dinosaur book. i could never have enough books. when i finally get a house, i want a wall of books in my office. though, i do have quite the collection going now. in fact, i probably need to take some books home as i just have too many in my apartment. they are stacked all crazy because there isn't really room on my shelves (and i have a LOT of shelf room). they make me happy though.
i think im going to state next week....anyone there that wants to see me/will have the time....drop me a message....i miss you all....
