christmas is all around.

so i'm done with the self-pity act. this blog will contain no more of that, i'm sure it's actually the most annoying thing to read, i mean seriously, if i were someone else reading all the shit i've put on here i'd want to give the writer a slap over the head and say, "get the fuck off your stupid blog and get a life, and in the process please find some feelings for people other than yourself, you miserable sod." i may not be the happiest person out, but the least i could do is keep that to myself instead of making everyone else want to stick pins in their eyes.


so...

christmas is here...again. and i can't say i'm a devout christian or anything, so all christmas seems to me is a whole load of people gathering to get fat on turkey and pudding, and and greedily exchange presents with random relatives you only see once a year.

my sister, being a vegetarian, is going to have a fun time with all her salads, and i'm glad to say that i'm back to eating meat. one can be a total cow without having the same diet as one, you know.

so about the presents. my current state of finances is virtually bankrupt, with the 300 or so dollars left in my account a pathetic attempt at savings. i was meant to get a job these holidays but i'm probably one of the laziest people i know so that never happened...

what did happen though, is that i managed to scrounge up some presents for the family using a variety of book vouchers...mostly from last christmas...see, that's what you get from relatives that don't know you very well. lots and lots of book vouchers. or, an uncle gets you a dress for an eight year old child because he's forgotten how old you are, but somehow it still fits so you use it as pyjamas...

that's the thing. all these relatives have no clue what you really want. i would be happy with money, actually. cash would be nice. then again, i need to save money, so it might be an even better idea to put it straight into my bank account where i have no hope of getting it out as the (other) account my ATM card is actually linked to isn't the one with money in it...three guesses why that is.

then again, it's the thought that counts. and one should really be grateful to receive anything at all - it's a choice made to give gifts, it isn't as though someone/something is going to strike you down if you don't give presents to people. even if that would be kinda funny...
kidding, obviously...
