Fighting the Current

once given, twice surprised

Mmm... pine. My hands are sappy, so I probably shouldn't be typing at all. Oh well.

We're putting up our tree. A live one. It's very tall and thin. More sparse than I'd like, but it looks nice.

We took our old neighbor part of her Christmas gift. We got her a bushy-foot-high tree and little decorations for it. She was so happy to decorate a tree. She hasn't had a tree in years. And she was pleasantly surprised--twice--by the Christmas card we gave her.

I have all my written homework done for the whole of Christmas break. Started cleaning my room today too. I WILL DO WHAT I SET OUT TO DO... for once.

I want to read Neuromancer but I can never find it.

Next time I go to the library, I'm doing an inter-library loan for that and two of the Seventh Tower books.

My dad has no artistic ability. It's a good thing my mom's side of the family makes up for that.

That's another thing I want to do over break: I still haven't looked at those drawing theory books I borrowed from the attic. If I have time... And I remember...

I had an idea a while ago to do a project a weekend. One weekend I'd write a lot. The next, I'd draw. The next after that, I'd redo the layout of my site. Et cetera.

There's a setting on the lights on our tree that I really think could cause seizures...

Off to decorate the tree. Hopefully everyone will get along.
