I'm playing a frightening new game called "Christmas with my girlfriend and her family". She's got a stocking full of shiny presents I know she wants (but she doesn't ) and I even got her an advent calendar because her mum didn't. Not very helpful, since I get there at noon on Christmas Eve, but what can you do.
Also, my santa hat, which I will procure a picture of. I've had it for four years now, and its huge and awesome.
Should I have found her a hat? What y'all doing?

I'm going home! and really looking forward to it at this point. I'll be spending about a week with my mom, who just moved into a new house and so is planning a housewarming party for after Christmas, and about another week with my dad, who lives in the town where I went to high school so I'll have the opportunity to spend New Years with friends who are also home for the break.
The boy is going home too, which happens to mean that he'll be on the other side of the country. I haven't figured out what to get him yet, since I had plans for an awesome project to make for him but it's not really the kind of thing I can work on at home, since it involves tools and solder and people who actually know a thing or two about electrical things who I can pester with my questions, all of which are more readily found here at school than at home, so more likely that will end up being a random end-of-january present instead.
In the mean time, there's just one more final exam to go....

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....
....We'd be lying though.

I'm going over to my boyfriend's parents' place to celebrate the holidays, and then after a few days there he's coming with me to celebrate with my family. Both of our families are so alike it's SCARY, so I'm not afraid of anything, really. I'm working really hard on his present, though -- I'm getting him the Orange Box among other things, so his present is like an 'Aperture Labs' recruiting package with things wrapped as training manuals and stuff. Haha.

I've already bought a few things, all of which were of course for my ladyfriend (which in my case is the norm anyway... I'm probably spoiling that woman but oh well) and I plan to get some more things. My younger sister is going to be up here for the holidays, chances are my father will be as well, and that's about it. Ladyfriend will be staying in a luxury resort hotel for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and I can't go with because I have to spend some time with my sister - I'm miffed about that but it can't really be helped; especially since I haven't seen my sister since July. So more than likely I will be sitting here at home with my housemate and my cat, drinking vodka and wearing nothing more than a Santa hat and a beer label to cover what little dignity I have left.
God, I'm looking forward to it.

And I won't be missing my brother, I've had twenty borderline abusive years with him, and having one off is a nice change.

Sorry. I hope next year will be a little better.
