Hello all. Christmas is over, and i am still alive. for now. I have re-entered the earth. sort of.

I just got home from work, deposited my last 2 paychecks (i kept forgetting to do it...) and ate an entire bag of chocolate covered pretzels for dinner. I figured i would catch up on my mindless wandering around the internet, but i wanted to check in here first. :)

I hope everyone had a good christmas! This was my first holiday away from my parents, and it was wierd. I spent it with the boyfriend's family. I was still a little lonely, but it was good. Christmas eve was actually really emotional for me, for reasons i can't really specify, but my thought is that It was such a relief that i was finally off work for christmas that all i could do was cry hysterically.

My gift to myself this year (It is tradition to have 1 gift from me to me every year): i put holes in my body. In the earlobes, specifically. Yes, i had them pierced already, so now they're doubly pierced. This is a big thing for me, because i have the only parents in creation who forced their child to get them pierced in the first place. They told me it would hurt more the longer i waited. (big fat liars...) So, this is the first time that i got them pierced willingly. I told my parents and sister, and i thought i would get a big reaction out of them, but i didn't. Not even one fainting spell. kinda anti-climactic. oh well.

have a great holiday everyone!!
