She's trying to sing just enough,so that the air around her moves...

So.The holiday spirit is running rampant this year,and for once I am just trying to go with the flow.I have recieved some pretty interesting presents so far and some of them quite useful to tell the truth.I have even been going places without my headphones on,and not coming out all homicidal.Maybe I am mellowing out in my old age?Maybe I am just running around with a buzz all the time from the rum balls and the nip bottle of jager that I have been hitting.Normally about this time I have already started holing up in my house after laying in a store of booze and insist that noone comes near me until it is over,and time for new years.This year I am proving to be downright jovial.

Did spend last night holed up,but mainly because it has become too cold for life to be undertaken without a blanket and the heating pad and my cat all strapped to me for warmth.I had Boss and LL over.We dorked out and watched two of the longest movies EVER,all snuggled up together in my bed.Somehow this went on until 5am.I am just glad that I didn't have to anything but brush my teeth,quit the lights and then crawl back into my pre-warmed nest of blankets.Boss tells me her hands practiacally froze to the steering wheel of her truck driving home.Pooh-bet.

I have been having the weirdest dreams lately.Most of them are purely situational,none of them seem prophetic or anything.So I ask myself why in the world I am remembering them so clearly when I wake up.Maybe it's the winter.Like how the stars look so much clearer in the cold night, maybe the dreams,like stars,come clearer in the cold.who knows???I have also been dreaming of being in Europe(not that it would be a good idea right now,with $ so tight)I had one where I was in Ireland,and I had one about Belgium recently.I guess that at least I am wealthy enough for travel when I am unconscious.

I did get to spend a little tiny bit of time by a bonfire for yule.I was with LL,Heffe and Trevor, and the wind was cutting right through me.But I did get to have a fire.Trevor's party was pretty strange.It was alot of good people gathered there,Only one that I have quarrel with.She ended up eating mushrooms and tackling me onto Boss,while I was lit and drinking quite a bit of jagermeister.I ended up with a very wet ass(from Boss's drink) and The Perpetrator of the tackle got to sit very uncomfortably across from my and my sisters all sitting on a couch together studiously ignoring her.Other than that it was a fantastic party.We did alot of smoking in the garage,alot of braving the freezing wind to look at the stars(they have more of them out there) and alot of talking crazy while under the influence.I am hoping for a good New Years party as well.I haven't pinned down exactly where I need to be yet,But i have more than a week to narrow it down.

long december and there's reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last...

I sat up late with one of my best friends the other night,talking about how we will look back on 2008.We decided to call it a "learning year" because it was moch nicer than the alternative.At first all we could seem to think of was the way that we had been worked over by this year(deaths,bullshit,the drama llama coming home to roost,medical clusterfucks,malfunctions,and major disasters)But by the end of the conversation,we had decided that it was just a year of learning limitations(and learning how to use them)and finding out exactly who we are.

I guess that I am really glad that this year is almost over.It's been a hard one,but I am in a better place than I was at this time last year.Maybe not financially,but in many other ways.I know that I am stronger,and I have stopped sticking my head in the sand when it comes to keeping up with what is happening in the world.

All in all,I am ready for 2009.I think this will be a year of broadening horizons for me and of finding adventure whereever I can.Life is what you make it.

why it's gotta be this way.Why do people ask what you think and then get all upset when you tell them the truth???I guess that it's that whole policy of truth thing.Fucking hell.

And we crossing border after border,We realize the difference is none

Am in a rather strange frame of mind today.It's been raining cats and dogs all night and all day,and the wind has been intense.I was talking to Boss the other day about traveling,about moving all the time.I think sometimes that the strange feeling I get,that flighty feeling,is because I have stayed in one place too long.I have been looking at apt listings again.I think that maybe it's my gypsy blood boiling up again.I do miss going so many places and meeting so many new people all the time.I know that my body would protest such conditions as I used to live in,sleeping on floors and such,but I do miss it.I was alot tougher when I was young.

More than that,lately I feel like everything is in the air.I know that it's partially that end of the year feeling.Only a few more weeks left in 2008.It has been a rough year altogether.I gues that I kinda have high hopes for 2009.I know already that I want to move into a new apartment at some point during this year,mostly because I am tried of my creepy neighbors and the evil ass parking lot.I love the matchbox lounge,but quite honestly,I think I might need more room to spread my stuff out......Or I might need to unload a bunch of my stuff.One or the other has to happen.

I am also thinking about writing a letter.....THE letter.I haven't written a letter to the goddess in a long time.I have been perfectly happy being alone until a couple of instances lately.I don't really want someone that I have to marry,or even live with....I just want someone to talk to in the dark.It's also about being warm.I think that this winter is going to be hella cold,and rather long.
