Introduction

Welcome to my online journal! What I post here is not consistent, and it doesn't fall into any one category. I post about my thoughts, my dreams, lifestyle, and anything else I might feel like posting!

So Cold

Yeah, it's Christmas Eve. My sister and roommate and I were up till 2 am last night giggling and getting slowly and steadily more and more buzzed. I think if I'd had more than I did I might be hungover right now. I'm not, I'm just really tired, and I have a wee headache coming on. Alcohol just makes me really giddy. And makes me sleep. A lot. We didn't get out of bed for almost eleven hours. Whoa.
Anyway, now that it's past noon and I haven't done anything with my day yet, I'm feeling pretty sedetary (is that the right word?) and really, really bored. I have a tea that I'm drinking as it cools, and now am posting what will most likely be a longer post than usual. In other words, more than two paragraphs cut off after I get distracted by something else.
Come Boxing Day I will be alone in the house for about a week. My roommate and her family are going to the mainland to visit family after Christmas so I'll have the big house to myself, plus three cats. I've got my two babies in my basement and the cat that lives upstairs as well. Phoenix and Anubis have been real buggers lately, I think it's because they know everyone's stressed and ready for the initial break that comes with Christmas being over. It requires way too much planning to be considered a holiday, I think. The few days after are always calmer and more peaceful. It'll be that way for me this year - quiet, and lonely. At least they'll be here for Christmas itself. Though I'll be spending most of the day at my parent's house, it should be a good time. I'm hoping, anyway. You never know what will happen when me and my siblings get together over a turkey coma and presents. This will be the first year I don't live at home, so I will actually get to sleep in (thank goodness), but even so, I'll probably be over there before noon.
There's lots going on right now...I've put my headphones on and am listening to crappy pop music that I can't get out of my head. Ah well. There's so much pounding in the house already...someone's working on something and keeps banging. I don't much care for it. So I'm sitting on my futon, complaining to my non-readers, under two blankets cause I'm FROZEN, drinking tea and blocking it out with Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger.
I've been thinking lately that I have lots to get accomplished this coming year. Closer to the date I'll do an evaluation and resolution post, but right now I'm just thinking about lots of things. Mostly my weight. I have to get rid of this massive problem. I can't seem to get rid of any of the excess I clearly don't need. I'm using Just Dance to my advantage, and my new goal is to play it for an hour at least three times per week. Right now I'm doing more than an hour, but only on the weekends, with my roommate or sister, or both. It's a fun way to sweat it out. And the music is not too bad on the new game (Just Dance 3). I miss some of the songs I liked on the second one, but eventually I plan to buy it anyway. And I'm working on diet, but it's hard when during this season chocolate is everywhere and thousand calorie Christmas dinners are on the horizon. It'll be easier when all that crap is outta here!
Okay, I lied. I'm now listening to PomplamooseMusic on Youtube. I am in love with this artist. The vocalist's name is Nataly, and she's incredible. Her band uses unconventional methods (shaker eggs, chimes, electronic sounds, etc) to create covers and original music. They're awesome.
Seriously. Click the link. They're doing a "super useful dongle" as well, which is an engraved USB drive with their music on it, that I desperately want, cause it would be so neat to have. Her voice is incredible. Seriously. It's so unique. Makes me think of a woman in the 30's or something.

I guess that's it. Haha, I said I wouldn't get distracted, but now I'm hooked on watching Pomplamoose videos. :)
