Isn't it weird when you come upon a song that you've known a long time and realize that it kind of suits your life at that moment?  Or ...does that even happen to other people?  Well, it happens to me.  (Though it sucks because sometimes it's only like, parts of the song that fit, and other parts that are like "WTF? No way!")

Nothing deep tonight... I guess I can just update my normal life.  It's finally come to finals week of first semester.  I have my History test on Tuesday and Japanese on Wednesday, but that's it!!  How lucky.  I'll be going home Wednesday afternoon, right after my test in fact.  I'm gonna shop with me mum. 

I'm looking forward to being home, but I hope I don't get tired of it too quickly.  Thanks to my new "period-only-every-three-months-birth-control-pill", I don't have to worry about my own PMS, but I do have to worry about my mom's.  Though she's never admitted it aloud (to me at least), I think she's just as bad as I am, if not scarier.  She certainly doesn't get all weepy like I tend to.

Then again, I got weepy before I took the pill.  Now I just get bitchy.  Maybe this whole "Dragon" problem is because of my drugs... Hmm...

Anyway, continuing... Christmas is almost here!  What the hell!  どんだけ~!  I still need to buy presents... for some people... oh gosh I am so bad at getting presents... I can't ever figure out what to get... and I take too long... aaagh!!  Can't we just all skip the presents and just hang out?!  ............. ヤダ・・・それは無理だね・・・・・・

Speaking of Christmas, ... Winter.  After Christmas, I am done with Winter.  I want Spring to come and frolic about.  Alas, here in Huskerland, Winter will last through March as usual.   And I already feel the pangs of longing.  The gentle warm breeze... the smell of the snow melting... (it smells like llama, did you know this?) 

But I can hope!  For once, a few years ago, we had a very warm January.  I can dream that it would come again...
(but I probably won't be so lucky.)

I guess that's really all for now.  I need to work on getting a job.  I applied at the school library but they haven't gotten back to me.  I need to contact them.  Aaaargh.

The Dragon laughed long tonight.

I went to a Christmas party that I was all in a tizzy about for most of the week, but it ended up being rather splendid.  I feel as though I got a large dose of cheerfulness that I needed desperately.  Despite my recent frustration with a certain organizer of said party, I managed to wash it all away and just have fun.  (Being a kind Dragon is much easier than being a mean one.  Well... actually, that's probably opposite, especially considering how I have to tame my own.  But a kind Dragon reaps much greater rewards.)

In other news, it's snowing again.  This is, what, the third time?  Before the last two snows had even melted, even!  At this rate, as long as it stay cold...... dare I say it?  Perhaps Nebraska will finally have a White Christmas again.  It's been so long.

In other other news, I have been pondering more upon my recent Dragon Theory.  Though I should be in bed and dreaming of faraway kingdoms, I shall tell you my ponderings.

I suppose the first reason this theory struck me was because of the book series Song of Ice and Fire.  I am in the midst of reading book two right now, A Clash Of Kings, and just as the first it is majestical and wonderous.  (Yes, majestical.)

In this series, there are characters whom they often mention carrying "the blood of the Dragon".  One of these characters I am quite fond of, and it seems that is where my theory draws its seed from.  As is this character, I am a Dragon, strong and fierce, short of temper but full of fire.  But I am a young Dragon, who makes foolish mistakes.  And I have the stubborn heart of a Bull within me as well.  Perhaps even shorter of temper than the Dragon, recklessly charging with horns pointed forward.  It is a powerful yet dangerous combination. 

And then there is the matter of what kind of Dragon I might be.  Given my recent fiery passion and short fuse, one would think that I am a burning red fire Dragon.  I myself would believe this, if not for another factor.

I have always been fond of the water element, though I cannot swim well, and partial to the blue hues of the spectrum.  As I was younger, I was attracted to the tranquility of the water, of the calm and the wisdom.  But water does not always lie still and peaceful.  The beautiful Sea can rage and destroy with a great anger, through storms that break ships and waves that crash upon shore.  The water is two-faced, as am I.  On a calm day, under a deep blue sky and a warm sun, the Sea rests gently, lapping at one's feet playfully, deceiving those who do not know her power.  Then a time would come where those foolish enough to believe the Sea always peaceful would be proven horribly wrong.  Whether incurring her wrath or watching as it destroyed another, there would be those who were changed forever, no longer taking the Sea for granted.

Might I be the same.  As I am now, I may only hope for being a shining blue water Dragon.  For all I know I may take to my element of the dark brown Earth, merely dreaming of the other elements that I love so.  But as I grow and learn, my bubble will shape, my form will change and my colors will show, and when I am wise enough to know it will come upon me.

oh boy!  Winter is almost here!  TIME TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS!

Yes, it's true, I don't care about Thanksgiving.  Okay... well... it IS nice to see family and stuff...but... I've never ever liked Turkey until last like two years (and only if it's drenched in a very specific gravy), and me and eating, well, let's just say I'm not always very good at it.  So giant meals of food I don't like don't really work for me. 

But, cranberry sauce and green olives and of course bread rolls and mashed potatoes, those all are tasty. Green olives especially hold a special place in my heart. My grandpa and I used to fight over eating them (we were the only ones who really liked them.)

Anyway point is, I love the Christmas season so much, I start celebrating it November 1st.  Not even kidding.  15 minutes after Halloween was over, I was playing Christmas music.  I understand that everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I don't care.  I accept that I am not normal.  I will continue to cherish this time that comes only once a year by celebrating it for 2 months straight.

Oh, wait, I had something interesting to post.  Nearly forgot.

Sexy j-rock band L'arc~en~Ciel is releasing a new single entitled Hurry Xmas on November 14th.  The video is really funny/interesting/weird. 

Man, I ate too much today!  We went out to eat for my dad's birthday at Olive Garden...gah, it was so good though...@_@

I successfully went to my friend Britni's Christmas pageant today as well.  She was absolutely BEAUTIFUL in it, I only wish there were more solo-singing opportunities for her because she definitely was the top voice.  ICHIBAN n stuff yeah.

I guess I don't really have much to say for tonight...I think I'm going to be making kolaches tomorrow with my mom...so I'll have to wake up at like 10 am...sooo early!!!  Also, today is my No AIM Day.  So, I'm thinking I might just go to bed early tonight.

You know, my mom has said this to me many times over the past few weeks, but when she told me today I guess it sunk in a little more than usual.  "Don't you want a guy who knows he likes you, rather than a guy who has to sit around and figure it out?"

Food for thought, I guess.  Ugh, wait, no more food...I'll barf, I swear...

Side note: it seems the predictions of snow are looking good!!  We might get a big ol' storm from Wednesday through Friday!!!!  Of course, this'll be bad on Wednesday because we are supposed to go clean out my Grandma's house...but whatever!  Snow for Christmas!!!  Let's go!  <3 <3

Man, I love being home!

My mom had surgery on Friday, so we haven't really done anything at all...but that's fine by me.  I'm perfectly happy sitting around doing nothing, having nothing to worry about.

Today I woke up around a lovely 12:55 pm, though I'm pretty sure I was randomly awoken by noisy people upstairs more than once.   Oh well!

I headed upstairs first thing to veg out in her bed.  We popped in The Santa Claus, to which she ended up falling asleep during.  So, the movie got paused and I got to eat some lunch. 

My mom meandered downstairs to the kitchen a little while later, and we we ended up making Christmas cookies.  There were some lovely no-bake types, followed by peanut butter blossoms and cherry mash bars.  Depending on various things tomorrow, we might go for the kolaches.  But, those take an entire day due to the damn dough having to rise...

It seems that we might get snow this coming Thursday.  I really hope it turns out that way...I mean, I'd be at my dad's house...but that's fine.  I'll probably cry of joy if we get some.  It'd be perfect timing, too!  Christmas is already so close...

I have a feeling that these next few weeks are probably going to go really fast.  Dang.

[edit]

Forgot to mention - I've already failed.  I'm on AIM right now.  I guess it'll just have to be "not be on AIM as much as I normally am"...

Gosh, angsting sure sucks.  I hate it.  Any time I look back on when I was angsty, I want to destroy it!  GRAH!

Today's super cold, so I opted to stay home from Japanese class. :)  (Actually, I had decided last night because I wanted to sleep, but...shhh) XD

Man, if it's gonna be freezing, it might as well snow!  I'm ready for Christmas!

Well, my PMS prediction was right on target.  Of course, it came on the last day of said PMS, but whatever!  Now I just have to get past the cramps that tomorrow will bring!

...

Geh.  McGovern is coming tomorrow, too.

Anyway, we enjoyed some more DBZ today.  Along with Boy L, there was Rival A AND Rival B in the room.  But I didn't mind or anything, because beyond the rival status, I get along with them pretty well.  Yay friends!  Kyle was there too.  He's hilarious.

Now that we've surely had our last bout of really warm weather for the year, I'm ready for snow.  Of course, listening to Christmas music nearly non-stop is probably the cause of this...

<3 Anberlin's "Christmas (Baby please come home)"...can't stop playing it!!  Also, Firefox 2.0 is WAY FUN!

I was too angsty for my own good yesterday.  Damned PMS.  Oh well, I'll keep doing my best.
