Won't be around forever, girl

THIS WEEK

tomorrow: I'm going hot air ballooning? I'M GOING HOT AIR BALLOONING. My friend and I are waking up at the asscrack to drive an hour out of town to do a sunrise hot air balloon adventure, complete with brunch and mimosas afterward. THANKS GROUPON. :D!

And tomorrow night my sister is flying home for three weeks! :D!!!!! The only downside is that I have to open the next morning, and her flight comes in so late that it really wouldn't be a good idea to go to the airport with my parents to pick her up. Maybe she'll surprise me by coming into Starbucks to see me the next morning? I hope so!

thursday: open at work, come home, flail with my sister, and bake all the cookies. Seriously. It's gonna be Christmas cookie extravaganza up in here.

friday: impromptu Christmas party with my friends! It always seems like when I plan something weeks in advance, that hardly anyone can do anything, but plan it a few days ago? SURE WHY NOT. The fact that said Christmas cookies, my mom's homemade Kahlua, and baked brie with dried cherries and toasted almonds flkjasd;lfjaks will also be in attendance is, you know, helpful. And for the third year in a row we're gonna watch the It's Always Sunny Christmas special, lulz.

weekend: I took off work to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousin, the latter of whom just got engaged and is flying down to partay, so partay we shall. We're also going to Dave and Busters to celebrate other cousin's birthday, which is on Christmas day, no fun; I've never been, but I hear it's good times. Yay!

I've also got the news that I'll be working on Christmas day, siiiigh. I dunno, I guess I'm upset about it on principle, but really, I don't think it'll be that bad. It'll only be from 8:30am to noon, and I get time and a half, and all the tips that are made that day are going to be split among the people who worked that day only, and I'll be working with a fun dude, and I'm gonna wear my Starbucks santa hat. So. Yeah. Not happy, but it won't be too bad, I guess.

But this weather, I swear. Every day I'm getting closer and closer to just packing up and leaving this dumb state. How can one do Christmas-y things in 80 degree weather. How.

( Went to the Disney area on Monday, and Epcot on Tuesday... )

orange74 is my favorite forever because not only did she send me a copy of the TV Guide with two of my favorite people on it, but she sent me a True Blood calendar too! TOO MUCH HOT IN ONE PACKAGE. Lol I said package. Thank you so much, darling! ♥

The high tomorrow is 70 degrees. My completely surprised face, let me show you it. No matter: family's coming over, I'm going to make some aaaawesome food, and there will be lots of wine and eggnog. Hope y'alls is just as swell. AAAAND CHRISTMAS PTERODACTYL. ♥

( Creepiness and Christmas spirit within. )

Christmas cookies (chocolate chip mint and double chocolate crumble) are in the oven! And my stomach! UM NUMMMM.

ALSO ALSO thank you to lostt1 (OMG GORGEOUS), tinted_glass (HEEEE SECRET CASTIEL-DAY! <333), ack_attack, skygazing, unperfectwolf, and quidditchkiss (OMG WINCON I HAD BETTER SEE YOU THERE LADY) for all the cards! ILU. ♥

OH OH and thank you SO SO MUCH to lady_vader67 for the paid time! I love you, darling! <3333

Yaaay, Christmas! It was good times, even if it was in the mid 70's all day. Dammit.

MY STUFFS:

- THIS CAMERA Ajafwoijafs. Oh man I almost cried. It's so PRETTY. I've been pretty much playing with it nonstop and trying not to drool all over it. THE ZOOM IS SO AMAZING. ( Examples! )
- a 2 gig memory chip to go with the camera
- POTC 3
- jewelry and makeup from my sis
- Best Buy and Victoria's Secret giftcards (nerdy meet sexy??)
- over-the-ear headphones with cushiony goodness oh MAN I'm so excited to use those Radiohead here I coooommmee

And a couple other odds and ends. Mostly there was just lots and lots of eating. Nommmm. Green bean casserole is God's gift to mankind.

Today I cleaned out my room and closet bigtime. Like, let's throw away stuff to make it look like a thirteen-year-old does not live here kind of clean. I reeeaaally want to redecorate my room with all stuff from Urban Outfitters. HA HA. Alas, I am not rich enough. Maybe piece by piece? I could do that. Totes.

Mmph, I'm feeling the need to travel again. I bought a map today, gonna put it on a cork board or something, and put in little push-pins of everywhere I've been to. It makes me happy just thinking about it. Spring Break, maybe.

K, back to reading DA fic. Alec makes me do FLAIL HANDS.

CAROL LEEEEEE.

( Lookit what she GOT ME. )

Heeee omg my sister just came home from seeing PS, I Love You, and is COMPLETELY in love with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, aww! She could not stop going on about how adorable he was in it. Aw man. I'm gonna have to go see this now, aren't I.

I have had awesomely random '90s songs stuck in my head all day. THANK YOU VH1.

Have received cards from stepliana, strawberryelfsp, unhobbityhobbit, and hellocalamity! Thanks so much you guys! <3

I also got in the mail today my copy of Ovid's Metamorphosis for my Mythology class next semester and EEE I'M SO EXCITED. I hope it's gonna be awesome, seriously.

Okay, I know I've been dropping a lot of music links lately, but SERIOUSLY, DOWNLOAD THIS ONE: The Shins - Turn On Me (Clint Mansell remix) I don't even know why, but it's pretty much amazing. It's making me have all these FEELINGS. <3

HAI LOOK. Macros. I got bored.

Also also, I wroted sick!Dean which is like, my favoritest ever, don't tell anyone. 'Course, I probably should have written a little something more for flusteredspeech since she's the one who's sick, um. Anything else you'd maybe like, babe? Anything to get away from analyzing modern lit, hee.

I think it's time for a salami sandwich. OH MAN.

OH MAN.

I feel kind of spoiled. But my parents had a little extra money this year, so...

( Obligatory 'omg look what i gots!' post )

Waking up to thunder was interesting, seeing as how we haven't even had a thunderstorm since July or so. Rained all day, and I was seriously okay with that. Good food, too. Goooood foooood.

Tomorrow I'm going to Busch Gardens with a few people YAY. Even though I have to work 5-10:30. I need my rollercoaster fix dammit!

Also, I forgot to mention, magikalrhiannon, who RULES MY LIFE sent me copies of Cry Wolf, House of Wax, and Devour. Thank you so much babe! I am rather nervous to watch Devour? Ahahah;sldkfal;sjdas. OH JENSEN.

Hope everyone had a great day as well! :D

Even though the concept of Christmas is kind of a joke down in Florida (cold? snow? what? huh?), Christmas it will soon be, so, cards!

And vice versa. If I've missed someone and you want my address, let me know!


So, The Shins new album? AWESOME. Al;kjal;sdjkf. So many good albums have been released this year.

Would someone mind explaining these two pictures? Preferrably IN MINUTE DETAIL? AHAHAHAHAH WHAT.

My back is killing me. Being on dish last night (while working with The Ultimate Asshole and The Worst Shift Manager Ever, did I mention?) didn't help much.

Also, three-ish months ago I tried stopping my birth control to see if my period would finally start coming on it's own, but no dice. This is freaking ridiculous.

Christmas card time! If you want a Christmas card, leave you address in the comments. They will be screened.

And a happy fun time Christmas song to go along with: It's Christmas! Let's Be Glad - Sufjan Stevens

ETA: AH MAH GAH, also: Mae - Carol of the Bells :D


I ordered Firefly for my dad today on Amazon ($27 dude!) for Christmas, so now I finaaaally get to see all the episodes. :D
