Get Lucky

Three quick things:
1.) I’m done! Hell yeah! I get grades on Jan. 2nd but I think everything went well.
2.) I Am Legend was really good, as was The Golden Compass and Margot At The Wedding
3.) Spending your break working harder than you did at school is not cool…

More soon. I may have more time to do this when I take a whole week off work and school. In other words, I’ll be bored and have nothing to do. That always makes me want to complain…

Things that top my Christmas list:
A trip to Paris
A raise
A 4.0 GPA
Financial solvency

Strangely the most likely is the first…

Bah-fucking-humbug! I hate Christmas! Sure there’s stuff which is great but I don’t need any of it. There’s family, but I don’t really like mine. And of course the wonderful feeling of goodwill and peace towards men, which actually makes me feel like a hypocrite for being an asshole the rest of the year and is almost entirely a load of shit anyway. Plus I’m always sick of Christmas carols a month before the 25th since it seems to be the law that everyone put up decorations and “get into the spirit” (of consumerism) by mid November. I heard on the radio that the stress men feel shopping during the holidays is akin to the stress a police officer feels while working crowd control during a full scale riot. I think that’s why I feel this way. Maybe I should try doing my shopping online this year…

Merry Christmas to all my readers! I’ll try and post something else soon that has a nicer slant to it.

And yes, the title of this post is a Paramore song. What? You wanna fight about it?!?
