things! plus? music!
1] HI, PEOPLE. I am all happy and stuff because of Headstones tickets and also:
2] today was our townhouse...area?'s holiday party thing, and not many people went cause they are wimps, but we walked there. In the snow. /BEAMS it was so LOVELY. I had two pairs of socks, gloves, mittens, a hat and a scarf, plus my pj pants under my jeans and two (light) sweaters over a t shirt and under my coat, and it was WONDERFUL. Awesome and brisk and dark with lights and the moon reflecting off the snow, and many areas had no foot prints, and I wanted to just roll around for foreverrrrr. And both my mom and I almost fell down walking in the snow itself down a little hill. 8D
3] Then we had cookies and stuff there, and my mom's BFF was there so they talked. Then we got hot chocolate before making the walk back, and that was just as lovely if not BETTER because of the warm drink. But then there were two tiny little dogs running around with no one in sight, and I got worried that they were lost. So I kept trying to catch the one that kept running up to us and around to check its collar, and someone who was out walking THEIR dog went to get a dog biscuit, but while she was gone, the other dog was barking elsewhere and the tiny running around one.. ran off. We heard no more barking, so I'm hoping they went back home. :/
4] ...then I got snow everywhere in removing all my wintery stuff and instantly wanted to go back out because holy crap all that removal made it REALLY HOT.
5] I keep forgetting to say thanks to those who sent me a Holiday card even though I was lame this year and did not send any out! AWWWW. <3 Thank yooou, mizface, beggar_always, and sunsetsinthewes!
6] Tomorrow is shopping and lunch and buying stuff for wassail! and angsting over how I still haven't written that Finn/Kurt thing wtf self.
7] Finally, MUSIC! Christmas music! :D Just random songs I love most and such. I did this once before like, six years ago or something, and did weird things about categories or something, I dunno. I'm not doing that this time. Just have songs, bitches.
