Sick

I feel like my lungs might explode and that my throat is slowly being eaten away. In other words. I'm sick. Bleh.

I hate being sick, mainly because I'm not very good at it. I don't get sick that often (well really really sick), but when I do it lasts for eons or something close to it. I've been sick for 5 days and counting. I was taking antibiotics, but to no avail. And here I am, at work.

I want to go home :(

Bah Humbug

So, I went to a friend's house a few days ago and she had a friend in town from Paris there. At first I was so excited because I love Paris and thought it would be an incredible experience to get to know her and all the cool things she must do, but on closer inspection I realized. She was an asshole.

I was so disappointed and disillusioned. She was the classic case of I hate America, I'm moving to Paris on to bigger and better things! blah blah blah. She was pretentious and rude. The exact description of what all Americans think Paris is all about. That made me sad, but the one thing that really got me thinking that she had said was, "Why do you care what people think about you? It shouldn't matter."

This is a sentiment that has been uttered time and time again. When I was younger I really thought it was the way to go, but now I realize, those people who don't care what others think are jerks.

I don't think we should live our lives for other people by any means, but I think that caring what other people think is not a bad thing. It makes you more polite and more conscientious which is something the world is lacking these days. I wish more people would care what other people thought a little more because when it comes down to it...people are all we have, no?

Au revoir!

Christmas, anyone?

Good day to you all!

In order to catch you up, I shall say...

I moved, I unpacked, got moved to a new project at work, had a friend pass away and made some cookies.

So, now that you're all caught up, I thought I would talk to you all about Christmas. I enjoy Christmas. It's fun and junk and I like getting presents. The only thing I like more than getting presents is giving presents. I love finding the exact right thing for someone and wrapping it up to give to someone important to me.

Honestly, I don't care if I never get a present again. The giving is what I get excited about. Now, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not entirely selfless or anything, I still love presents, but there's something about getting someone the perfect gift that is oh so wonderful!!

I've recently discovered a talent for painting. Now, I can't paint something that I came up with all by myself or anything, but I can recreate things. Such as this...

My friend Freckles found it and loved it, so I duplicated it for her birthday. It was easy enough, so I've kept the tradition alive and painted her this for Christmas...

So, if there's anything you want that is weird and obscure and slightly cartoon like, send it on over and I'll be happy to duplicate!

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas!
