okay...lots of last minute shopping to do. i thought i was done, but i need another something for my mom so it's not just a bunch of theater tickets that she's opening tomorrow. hmm...what do you get someone that doesn't need anything? last night was white elephant....4 years and running now....probably the quickest and least stressful of them all. that was nice. but then there was cranium. i think that made up for the lack of stress in the gift exchange. club cranium's involve way to much stress for a post-white elephant game, and i was queen of them last night. *sigh* but, as always, it was a ridiculous amount of fun and i hope that everyone has friends to have that much fun with.

so i got the job. i'm an engineer. =D

i can't believe how fast christmas came this year...(2 DAYS!!!)....only been 8 months since graduation...it's interesting to see how much all our lives have changed in that short time frame, yeah? anyway....MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone! i guess the more appropriate thing would be to say happy holidays. so HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! have a wonderful time spending it with those close to you...and be safe...very safe. and if i don't blog before the year end...happy new year, too!

isn't it frustrating when you're trying to tell someone something but you want them to guess it, so you try to initiate the guess-mode, but it fails miserably? hmm..does that make sense? see..i tried to do that to munfung today, but she just completely missed it. whooo...right over her head. so now i guess she'll have to wait, huh?

*patience* i think i have it now. =) praises.

it was snowing on my way back from royal oak last night. what a tease. i thought it would snow a lot cuz the sky's been looking like it had tons and tons of precipitation to dump on us, but nooooo....it's supposed to snow on sunday now. i just want to have a white christmas. it's not christmas without the snow.

despite good things going on in my life, i've been feeling very blah. i'm in a blah funk and i can't shake it and i don't know why.

*shake shake shake*

nope. no good. maybe i'll feel better in the morning. better pack...going to columbus for the weekend.

move over 2tongues...say hello to sharon kim. she is definitely on her way. good job tonight, sharon!!

p.s. weather forecast for tomorrow: partly cloudy with a high of 55F. 55?!! not your typical december 13th michigan weather. i'm not sure if i should love it or hate it cuz it won't snow so i can practice snowboarding before la....

one of the cutest things in the world: little kids singing their heads off about christmas.
pure joy. makes you wish that life was that simple again...reminds me of that brian mcknight song. =)

one of the most fun things in the world: cranium. now...i usually hate board games. H-a-t-e. i think i was traumatized in my childhood. but cranium is the exception. maybe it's because we get to see g and eric dance around like cowboys or alvin reach delirium while figuring out flying butresses...or maybe just because it's a team effort? it's way too stressful when it's each person for him/herself. regardless...i've never laughed so hard in my life. i guess you had to be there. we played at the guevara's place in e. lansing after g's school christmas concert. ha..they're the guevaras now. i still need to get used to that. =D

wow. what a test of patience. no car and no new job. i had to have my brother drive me to work today and my mom pick me up.

"hi, i'm twelve."

i couldn't even be cool and have my boyfriend pick me up because he's been galavanting in vegas with fun people while i'm here having my patience tested. yeah, i'm a bit jealous. teeny tiny bit. but i got over it about 2 seconds after i realized i wouldn't be going. i did get to have a fun saturday with alvin and conehead and chrissy and j and chrislum. it was a good thing bubble bliss closes because i feel that we would have had an eternal euchre tournament otherwise. it might be the best card game ever (which means that more people than those originating from michigan should learn how to play it so they can play with their native-michigan friends.) ;D

i was going to end at the ";D", but i just realized that i really need to work on my conclusions. even in high school, i was never very good at ending a paper, which might also be why i tend to go off on tangents and never really make it back to the point at hand. i'm going to work on it. it will help keep my mind off the things i'm being impatient about. (ha!)
