it's that time again...
and by that time, i mean time for my annual "i hate christmas and i have no cigarettes" update.
i hate christmas and i have no cigarettes.
ok, that's a lie. for the first time since i started my livejournal (i believe this is the fourth christmas), i have cigarettes and i don't mind the fact that it's christmas too much. in fact, i am looking forward to the time with my family. i am looking forward to out traditional dinner of tasty winter soup. i am looking forward to spending time with my dad. i am not looking forward to presents, because there won't be any, but that's ok. this christmas isn't about presents.
this year, chrismas is about being thankful for what we already have, not what we're going to get. i'm thankful that i'm alive and partially well, and that my family is in the same state. i'm thankful that my dad was able to have his sugery at such a good hospital with such fabulous doctors, because if he didn't, he probably wouldn't be alive next christmas. i'm thankful that my sister finally pulled that stick out of her ass and realised that it wasn't just about her. i'm thankful that we're all going to be together as a family, because i wouldn't want it any other way.
and last, but not least, i'm thankful that my grandma has to leave early. ;)
oh, and i'm also thankful that my family is not religious, because i really hate church.
so, even for those of you who don't celibrate for whatever reason, i hope you have a happy holiday season. i love all of you.
oh,. a couple more things before i go. i woke up today and found a mailbox full of LJ! well, not exactly full, but it made my day so far.
nefret: thank you so much for such a sweet card. i got all teary eyed, but i just about fucking DIED when i read the bottom! hahaha! i love you, darling!
on_the_boundary: i've listened to both of the CDs you sent, and i absolutely love them! especially annie humphrey. totally kickass choices. thank you so much! i love you, sweetheart!
