why must you bring us cold fronts? 

we had a lovely vacation from winter.  I just wish it wasn't a vacation.  that only lasted two days.  i wish it was a permanent change. 

but no.

sunday and monday were both lovely, clear, 50 degree days. 

tuesday morning, it snowed.  and the wind, oh how it blew.  not to mention it was a fresh 19 degrees. without the gusts.

tomorrow and thursday we're due for more snow.  at least we're not in a snowstorm.  though, if it were a snowstorm, then school would be canceled, and I could forgive the weather a little bit.

well, maybe not forgive, but at least grudgingly accept.

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.

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. 

Once again, today is an amazing day weather-wise.  While earlier the predicted high was only around 45 degrees, it has suddenly found it's way to 58.  I'm so pleased!!  The wind is a bit strong, but it's nice in the way that is not the freezing, biting cold kind of wind.

All this spring-like weather makes me seriously doubt a snowstorm tomorrow evening, but that's what the weathermen are saying.  We're apparently supposed to get 6+ inches, maybe even up to 12 in some areas.  The only way I would be able to accept this would be through a snow day from school.  Otherwise, I am already in the spring mindset and I do NOT want to go back to depressing winter-land.

In other news, I applied for a scholarship type thing yesterday.  I just have to get a hold of two teacher recommendations before March 1st...but the two I asked have not gotten back to me yet!!  (A little worrisome...)

I'm hungry.  and I've also noticed that my thoughts on boys fluctuate an awful lot.  I wonder if I am PMSing.  I sure hope not.  I should check that out...

Dang.  I think I am.  Well, that explains a lot.
