Scrooge McDuck

Christmas is over.

 It didn’t really feel like it ever came! The weather was too warm.. I actually wore flip flops in December and my feet weren’t even a little cold! My parents got into one too many arguments on Christmas Eve…no good- morning Christmas breakfast. Just covers ripped off my frigid body at 9am to the sound of my mom chanting “get up get up get up get up! You aren’t going to sleep all day on Christmas!” Presents were opened sleepily and pseudo-excited “thank yous” were exchanged.

I want to be 10 again. The holidays were amazing when I was 10 and younger. Christmas morning always smelled like tasty breakfast… the Christmas tree was hemorrhaging presents perfectly wrapped no matter how awkward the shape… and my parents were- happy. Excited to see us rip off the wrapping paper and scream with delight when we got exactly what we wanted.

Does the holiday cheer go away when you get older? If so, I want to be 22 forever. I am perfectly fine with how I act now. Serious when I need to be. 12 years old the rest of the time.

 I tried to make the house exude Christmas cheer. I made garland for the fireplace mantle and the tv stand in the bar-room. Casey and I hung ornaments from our tree in the front yard and made a snowflake curtain for each window in the bar room to add some sparkle. And I managed to hang 4 of the 8 wreaths outside on the front windows of the house. I tried to get everyone to help make cookies and other goodies like we used to do. But no one wanted to.

Now don’t get me wrong.. I love all of the presents I got. I just wish there was more enthusiasm and Christmas spirit than there was. It was almost like a chore to everyone.

This is what I got from Momma Santa and Poppa Santa:

 

 

 

 

 

 

In red and grey! So soft!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zac and I exchanged gifts on the Friday  before Christmas since we wouldnt get to see  each other until this Wednesday.. and I couldn’t wait to see what he got me! And I was very surprised and excited! An iPod Touch!!! He is awesome! And now I am finally on the bandwagon with technology and can stop carrying my two fat CD cases around with me everywhere I go!  I got him this. It is an automotive computer that he can plug up to his car and be all nerdy with!

Casey bean got me a clear plastic screen cover for my ipod, and a pink case.

I also bought myself Guitar Hero World Tour for my Wii on Black Friday. It is awesome and makes my eyes and fingers hurt. But I like it.

Yesterday I bought a new lap top. It is a sexy red. And compared to my old lap top, a god. I will never buy HP again! Hopefully Sony doesn’t disappoint.

Alas. I must get back to work. Hopefully New Year’s doesn’t suck.

Gimme some love!

9 Year Olds Know Best

So while searching through blogs on 20 Something Bloggers, I stumbled upon this one and read this post. Well, I didn’t really stumble.. it’s a featured blog and therefore was right at the top of the page so I clicked on it to be stalkerish and feed my curiosity.

So I also noticed that I start almost ever paragraph in my posts with “so.” What is wrong with me.

Bad grammar. bad.

Anywhore. This book ”How to Talk to Girls” cracks me up. I guess since I am no longer 9 years old, I am not privvy to the schoolyard gossip that boys need help getting girls.  I would be willing to bet a million dollars that when I was nine years old, the last thing on my mind was how to get a boy to like me.

I DID however, enjoy beating them up after they pulled my hair and called me a buttface.

 So I youtubed (yes youtubed, it’s like “googled” only way cooler to say) this kid, and found this video. Giggles insued.

@ 0:27- “-there’s a girl for every boy. And that, don’t give up, dont think girls are gross, but um, like, they are- girls. What’s wrong with them?”
Well a few things will come to mind when you are 18 and your girlfriend is furious with you because you didn’t text, IM or facebook message her back 18 times in 12 minutes.

@ 2:35 on How to Get a Girl to Like You- “You give a lot of compliments though. But if you give too much compliments, it’ll look like you’re trying too hard to get the girl to like you, and she’ll think “why is this boy giving me so much compliments” and then she might figure out that you love her, and your secret is make sure no one finds out that you love her…”
“Ohh Sally your braces are so sexy! I love you!” Then all the kids will make fun of you and sing songs like “Jimmy and Sally sittin in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage!” And your whole life will be ruined. All 9 years of it.

Anyway. I could keep quoting but I don’t feel like it. You can watch for yourself!

And if you think this book is just like so amazing you like want to buy more from him, he is also in the process of writing “How to Talk to Moms” and “How to Talk to Dads.”

I needed those books when I was younger. Probably shouldn’t have said “fuck you” and “I hate you, you stupid bitch” to my mom so many times…. My face didn’t like the back of her hand too much… 

 

 

Blackbird Browser

BAHAHAHAHAAHHAAA.

This is the most retarded thing ever.

I mean— good idea!

So Firefox is for White People?
Safari is for people in Africa?
And Blackbird is for Black People?

And I thought white people were supposed to be racist…
