Mess of craziness as it may be, Christmas is awesome, especially because someone in my household still believes in Santa, so I'm allowed to get pretty vicariously excited. I also have SEKRIT KNOWLEDGE (different from knowledge acquired through SNEAKERY, mind you--I was told what it was so the giver could see my reaction to it beforehand, instead of my nerding out over it in front of people who wouldn't care. . .) of one present I will be receiving*, so that's just cool.
Tangent: Much as it may seem to send the message, "I am broke and/or an elementary school student.", I like giving and receiving handmade gifts. Even if (especially if, really) they are of dubious quality (in the style of MJ's crapfts) and/or are novelty items. They speak of the giver's knowledge of the receiver's sense of humor, which is, of course, the key to true everlasting friendship.
SKYPE: Not today, (it's 10:27 and I must sleep, in order to awake at a reasonable hour, in order to spend 50 minutes in hell*** whilst metal is extricated from my mouth. I would much rather spend the night on the Internet.) Earliest I'd be able to would be Tuesday afternoon/night, failing to coincide with Alex's schedule, then Sunday afternoon (if Skype ever loads on my computer, and if I'm not roped into actual socialization.****)
Original engaging comment question: How was your Christmas/how is your holiday season going so far?

**** Wow, I'm tired. I read that as RAPED and decided I needed to clarify. I've never been raped, and I don't loathe human interaction that much. But you get the point.
This seems like the longest blog I've written in a while. Is it? Have I been devoid of a topic for that long?

Christmas has been good. I watched a lot of movies, ate stuff and tied a game of Trivial Pursuit because, in my family, we are way too lazy for tie breakers.
My sisters got in a minor fight that ended in tears and then later, Clash of the Titans. I slept on an air mattress.
I don't know. Honestly, it was kind of... anticlimactic. Do people seriously wait all here for this? I love my family and everything but I see them all the time. And my not-immediate family lives faraway in Ontario/don't really care to visit. But I got some stuff that I wanted, like Charlie McDonnell's album and On the Jellicoe Road and a cashemere sweater. And my sister's old boots. Meh, twas good.
p.s. Rum, Coke and eggnog are three things to which I am not partial at all, together or separate.
