1. Hiii. Uhm, I realized I haven't posted zilch since graduation. Maybe because I've been getting up at ten every morning just because I could and then realized that I hadn't bought any presents or finished the cards for you all lovely flisters, which will hopefully be mailed tomorrow. Considering the weather, it means you'll get them for New Year's, IF you do. In case they're late... sorry, really. I just spent the first two weeks of December completely checking out. XD

That said, I think it might have been graduation but ugh, Christmas is in four days and while I'm usually not that big on Christmas anyway this year I'm just feeling like I didn't even realize it's coming. I mean, I still have three gifts to buy and idek when I'll do it, and anyway circumstances this year are sort of really of the meh kind. So, as mostly everyone who was friends with me last year knows but I'll give a short sum for anyone who wasn't, I usually spend Christmas with the parents at my dad's granparents', which is about three hours from where I live, and then I do New Year's with friends most times. Which is good because at least I get to see everyone at Christmas, right? Well, this year the roof in my grandparents' room is leaking water (and it actually has been happening for a while but it's not like anyone thought that hey, MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIX IT) so even if the house is big enough, since my uncle is coming in there too, there's no place for parents to go. Which means I'm leaving on the 24th and going there alone and possibly sleeping on the sofa. X__X But since I'm doing New Year's with friends and parents are going to the grandparents' for New Year's anyway, result is that vacations start on the 24th and I'll probably see the parents two days on fifteen. Which whatever, not like I'm six, but if anything at Christmas you just hang out without school/work/stuff going on and idk it'll just feel massively weird. Let's add that I'm crap with both my under-eight-years-old cousins and that my grandparents barely get out of the house and I fear I'll spend Christmas catching up on tv shows. Which it's kind of sad tbh but it just didn't make me that much excited. My main feeling atm is MEH. I'm pretty sure it's not the supposed feeling... maybe I should just bring back the last four Dark Tower books and catch up on my intended re-read. I'd probably manage it. XD

(At least I'm hitting a couple good movies at a film club before leaving. Which is good news. It also means I'll buy presents after the holidays, but who cares. XD)

2. Also re presents, how the heck do you manage to get out and not buy stuff for yourself instead of presents for other people? I've been out trying to manage to finish presents for the last week and in the end I got about 3/4 of them, but meanwhile I bought myself: a complete change of pencil/pens/writing stuff, a movie, a coffee cup with angel wings to hold it up (seriously. It's amazing. And the wings are pink!) which I absolutely didn't need but it was outrageously cute, new earrings (thankfully they were cheap), new make-up pencils (when I don't even put makeup on nine days on ten) and the dvd of that modern opera based on 1984 (which was half-priced and while modern operas aren't my thing it has a bunch of singers I like, the production looks very shiny and IT'S BASED ON 1984, what). None of which I strictly needed at all, and at least all of these were cheap. Still, I'm not even a shopping whore when it's not about books or cds, the hell happened to me?

3. Politics make me want to cry. I'm half-positive that I'll have to stand B.'s face until the day his time on this planet is over, and the more time passes the more I'm half-sure that it'll be a long while until I don't see it anymore. Also if there are elections next year I'll probably throw up after voting, if in order to send B. away I end up having to vote for a couple of people I'd really rather not vote for. Also if the new university reform gets approved, come March you'll hear a lot of complaining around here..

4. Also hi, this post sounds utterly whiny when it should be anything but. I don't even know, I might have a case of post-graduation blues mixed with the 'wtf it's Christmas and I'm totally not feeling it'. Among the rest I also finished my time at the library, which on one side is good because it means a) more free time and b) I got paid so for once I could go on shopping sprees described in #2, but on the other side it means I'm not getting money from there anymore. Which is very bad, but hell, in the two free months I have I might manage to find someone who wants philosophy repetitions... hey, I like using my own money. (Also I have convention to pay some stuff for still. XD)

5. On the 'let's have some squee' side, I started catching up with Hawaii 5-0. \o/ I'm just at the fifth episode now (tho I had to drop it for time reasons at the second, so..) and ohgod, is that bad that I remember the eps more by all the utterly canon slash text than by what happens in them..? /hides I enjoy it a lot though. It's very fun and it also doesn't require much brain killing, which makes it perfect atm for me. Just something for people who watched Lost though.. Okay, I figure that everyone snorts when DDK says 'the island', but did anyone else have laughing fits in that ep where the convict runs away from prison and takes one family hostage and then first says that 'he has to get off this island' and then gets followed by most of the gang through a jungle where there's a stream, and DDK is all being stealthy and following him meanwhile? Okay, maybe it isn't -that- funny unless you want to make Lost parallels but I'm half-sure that I can't unsee possible Lost parallels in anything.

6. With this, let's end pointless entry to go finishing the Christmas/New Year's/whatever they'll become cards. Btw, for some of the people who left prompts, your prompt became.. very long, so you'll get printed stuff. Sorry but I couldn't manage to copy everything long hand. xD

7. Ops, last thing. Uuhm, hi new friends? Should I friend you back? Say hi! ;)
