Blizten was always my favorite reindeer... well, maybe not always, but he is now at least. Also, I don't play reindeer games. You know, those silly little social events you go to just because you're expected to? Yeah. I don't play them.

Oh, and hello, deviantART. I hope everyone has been doing well.Believe it or not, I have kept up with most of you, I just haven't been commenting. Now that I think about it, I feel a little bit stalker-like. I still love you guys!

Not a whole lot has been going on here. Aaron and I bought ourselves new cell phones for Christmas. They're pretty neat. Last weekend we had some friends over to play some games, but that's really the most social thing I've done in a long time. I don't mind though.

I've been working a lot, especially this week. One of our servers in Missouri got flooded, so there was a big outage, and now everyone is working mandatory overtime to make up for the lost time. Today was supposed to be my day off, but I had to go in. The good news is that when I'm on overtime I can work pretty much whatever hours I damn well please, haha. Plus my next paycheck will be nice and fat. Just in time to spend it all for Christmas!

I honestly can't say that I'm surprised that the year is almost over. Quite the opposite, actually. I can't believe it took this long for the damn thing to be over. This year has been just completely hectic. I feel that I learned a lot this year, though. I learned how to be patient and how to compromise. I learned how to work for the things I want. But I also learned that no matter how hard I work, some things just cannot (should not!) be. Some friendships just can't be saved. I tried my hardest, but in the end I couldn't win. But that's okay, because you know what? I've also learned to stop being sorry for things that aren't my fault.

It was a good year, I think. It's not over yet, but I don't see anything horrible happening in the near future.

Do you?



So, yeah. I just went to Toys R Us (I was looking for a water gun... the don't have any this time of year, just so you know). And I found this, and it was just too great to pass up.



The box says that this product is made of 100% recycled awesome. I'd have to agree. Merry Christmas to me!

Everyone's afraid of their own life.
