still seething from NOT receiving the xmas eve call from freak...........(HINT! HINT!)
christmas day was interesting. NOTHING HAPPENED!! got into a huge dramatic fight on xmas eve. was very unhappy, drove for 12 hours straight then slept well into christmas morning. called friends, had a laugh, was called by family, chatted with people, found a very very old friend.
so now its almost new year's eve. 2009 approaceth. unstoppable in its onslaught and i am scared shitless. Literally. (I have been taking laxatives the last couple days......).
well, here's to a rocking 2009 for all of us. may we all move on to bigger and better things! AMEN!!
..................you know one day God is going to get tired of my griping and just smite me with like boils or something............ah well

FACE OFF!
This brief post is dedicated to those of us who watched "Face Off" a thousand times.
The Cleveland Clinic has just reported the very first complete face transplant. A woman in Ohio has been given a new lease on life. She apparently did not like the face she had been born with and after years of "suffering" was able to get a team of surgeons to do the op. The operation is still very dangerous and there are a lot of ethics issues they are still having worked out........Anyway, thats besides the point, all that matters is: IT WORKS IT WORKS! Once again life imitates art and there we were thinking that after Star Trek that didn't happen anymore........

Gee whiz, its Christmas!
so the holidays approacheth and i am still stuck getting up before the Sun to drive to work. to make matters worse i live in an area i once thought to be correct....until i realised that everyone agrees with my sentiment, especially around Christmas so a 5 minute drive down my street to buy something turns to 20 because of the sheer number of people "enjoying" all my street has to offer.
i had been planing to spend Christmas with friends but no money so i decided to do the whole Christmas thing. you know, tree, decorations, lights, the whole shi-bang. then i realised that it just wasn't in me to put snowmen and Santa Clauses or whatever the hell else they pass off these days as Christmas decorations.
so now i face the daunting prospect of facing Christmas alone. not that i haven't done this in the past. in fact, in past years i have revelled in the solitude. unfortunately, this year is different. things will be occurring in the weeks to come that i do not wish to face alone. and since i don't drink, i CRAVE some other form of distraction. there is some1 willing to spend that time with me but honestly, if i had to be stuck with him, you'll be attending my funeral.......or court case come January.....but that's a story for another blog post. (hey i gotta keep you coming back!)
thankfully, last night, i read my freak's blog. I'd been feeling bad lately cuz I'm accumulating too many gadgets but his post has made me all better. I'd been putting off purchasing any more gadgets but hell imma splurge this Christmas. getting myself (FINALLY!) the itouch AND the Zune......or maybe the 360 elite and the wii......haven't really figured out yet what will cheer me up and keep me busy through the holidays...........
