I'm here, Love.

I adore my characters-on-loan. A.k.a... I have created them, they are mine, and I'm writing for them, I have just given Tofu free reign to use them in her story, which I desperately want to read with a fiery passion of a thousand suns, but of which she still has not given me a link to. So, yeah, sadface time. But not to dwell on that. I am thoroughly enjoying writing at the moment and there are so many past english teachers who would die if I said that to them, so... Maybe I shouldn't yet, let me finish up my story first.

Happy Christmas to all and a merry money-spending sacreligeous experience.

I have to say, I do enjoy the holidays. I love Christmas, I enjoy the New Year's celebrations. I eat turkey and ham, many cakes and sweets of overly high calorie counts just like everyone else. I spend time with family and waste copious amounts of money on gifts for people that I can only hope they will find as useful as I thought they would be. But all along, I have something different. I think of it as a mixture of a religious practice and a cultural tradition. Christianity celebrates Christmas as the coming of the Christ child, and the beginning of the saving grace of God. Popular culture uses Christmas as a means to bring families together under the guise of spending money and exchanging gifts as a way to bond. I like both. So regardless of whether you follow the Christian belief (despite all the controversy over the actual time of the year that Jesus would have been born, and the moving of the celebration to coincide with the Pagan ritual of the Winter Solstice) or wether you choose to enjoy time with family and trading of debt between people. I don't really care. I wish everyone a happy holiday, and for the others (Hanukkah and Kwanzaa for instance, I have no experience practicing you, so I won't even begin to try to understand it.) I still wish you a happy holiday.

Reading and Writing

Firstly, any page other than my home page that you click on will likely be my personal writing, feel free to read and comment accordingly, if you want to say that it is good, that is fine. If you wish to way that it is bad, please instead leave valuable critique. I feel obliged to try my best to improve my writing and if I agree with you, would love to try to improve my story. If I do not agree with you, you should get a response explaining my reasoning. Anyway, although I enjoy writing, do remember that I am not a regular writer and thus my writing my not be the best thing since sliced bread, so don't expect some fantastic stuff out of me.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and a happy whatever holiday you celebrate.

Mythbusters, how can there be a better show on Discovery than you?

Gawd, if I could find the money for another universal remote, but anyway. Mythbusters is my crack. Like, seriously. It's where I learn so much random crap about things most people could care less about. In saying, I probably have the strangest combination of television shows that I enjoy watching regularly.

How I do so love my friends

I don't know how I would make it through the hardships of life without my friends. I mean, you can always bury the things that hurt until they're so far down that their thorns no longer prick at nerves, but it takes a much stronger person to leave the hurt out in the open, to show it to the world, to let them see you cry, looking up at the lonely sky as the tears fall down. The true face of sadness is one with a smile that you cannot hold. But I love my friends, because I know that no matter what happens, they won't judge me and they will always be there for me when I'm down. Plus, after getting a good, liberating conversation out with my friends, it's great to go shopping. I know I did that the other day, going all the way to Southpoint Mall in Durham from Raleigh. That ate up my gas, but it was so much fun just wandering around talking to Tofu. Next time, though, I think we'll just stay around town instead so I can save a bit of gas to visit them more often.
