Fading Lights

Today on the Yearly Holiday Rant: ( Updates )

In summary, I'm still stressed and frustrated, but trying to stay out of it. I've got two more days until the contest is over, and then just two days before Christmas. A week after that, and December is over at last. I am counting the days.

I've never been big about holidays, but I didn't mind them. This year? I'm bitter, irritated, grumpy, stressed out, and gods damn it is it January yet? >.<



On a cheerier note, so much love and appreciation for everyone who has stopped to check on me, show their support, and shared their own stories of holiday bullying. It helps. It helps A LOT. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥



* Okay, I like this person, because she's always been nice to me and helped me out, but SCREW YOU. This is the first, and *only* thing I have ever not wished or attempted to participate in. And if anyone tries to argue about me not participating? THERE WILL BE WORDS. -Fumes-
** Both Grinches came out great, and people have complemented me on both of them. No questions about why drawing them a Grinch was okay when decorating wasn't. It's also the first thing that has made people acknowledge me again after the past few days of mutual silence.

It's been a busy few couple of weeks around here. And Brother's factory had a shutdown for the past week (which they do every so many months for cleaning), so he's been hogging his computer to play Eve and leaving me without internets. -Makes a face at him-

( Christmas was surprisingly pleasant. )

My best moment of getting present thought, would actually have to go to weesta by ( sheer shock value and moment of awesome.  )

The day after Christmas I had ( another physical therapy appointment. )

Brother's mom and I spent the rest of the day shopping after-Christmas sales, which was fun. I always enjoy spending time with her. ^_^ She even got me things! I finally have a decent sized coffee cup that says "Coffee and shoes take away the blues" (I don't care about shoes, but the coffee part is true), a box of cherry candy canes, and two pairs of earrings that look like poinsettias.

We planned on going to see The Hobbit that night, but after Brother and his dad drove to meet us, we found out they were completely sold out. x.x So we agreed to go the next morning instead.

( The Hobbit )

We spent New Year's Eve ( at home. )

Other movies seen over the last week included:

( Meet the Robinsons )

( Rise of the Guardians )

( The life of Pi )

Ironically the first of ( the last of my Christmas presents arrived today! )

Resolutions for the new year? Meh, not really. Possibly to continue my Word Count Goal of 1,000,000 words in a year. I made 56959 for 2012, which is ... incredibly pathetic. -_-;;; Getting my arm fixed so I can work again? Writing?

Really, I suppose I just resolve to hope for the the same things I wished rosabelle when she texted me Happy New Year. The same things I wish to all of you.



May it be filled with writing, love, and happiness. ♥

Blessed be, everyone! May your All Hallow's Eve be met with friendly spirits and happy memories. ♥

And for those who celebrate Halloween, may it be full of fun and lots of candy! ^_~

As for *my* All Hallow's - so far - it's been both interesting and wonderful.

( Cut out of respect for those who don't believe in/wish to read about the metaphysical and the afterlife. )

And all *my* love, to all of you. ♥



* Good luck with your NaNo, everyone! ★
