A few minutes ago I was feeling sorry for myself and thinking about how I don't really have any good friends (that aren't in the band) to sit with at games and that I do everything with. That really sucks. I see other people and their friends and I'm like "Why don't I have that?! What the eff is wrong with me?". I was even thinking about Italy and the likelihood of my return. Honestly, even if I wasn't sad right now it still wouldn't look good. So since I was feeling pretty crappy and sad I looked at Michael Buble's two Christmas songs in my iTunes library (I know. I should definitely have more than two. I'll make sure to take care of that at Target tomorrow) for about 2 minutes before growing apathetic to the promise I had made and clicking on them to listen. Let me tell you, instant gratification. I felt happiness wash over me from the first notes. I just leaned back in my chair with my eyes closed and smiled to myself.
I'm not meant to wait this long for Christmas music. It's just ridiculous! Oh October. Why can't you be more December-y? I've wanted to listen to Nargles in the Mistletoe by the Moaning Myrtles for about a month and a half now. It's pretty been pretty hard to hold back. Maybe I'll make that winter video in response to Hayley's Fall Video even though it's about a year late now. I have all the footage and I know what I want to do with it all. I'll just keep listening to Christmas music and get inspired again.
I wonder if I'm going to get everyone gifts again this year. A few years ago we started just drawing names and got that one person a gift or gifts that costed X amount. But last year most of the family decided not to do that. Nelda and I were the only ones that decided to. So along with getting Nelda the new gym bag that she wanted I also got everyone else something too. I was kind of upset that the whole family decided not to give gifts this year so I did it anyway. Heh. Serves them right for voting on something like this while I was away at college. They got a gift whether they wanted to or not! I got Megan Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (she was the one that gave me the book 9 years ago and introduced me to the series in the first place. I thought I'd return the favour) along with a 4 page note I wrote which thanked her, explained what HP has done for my life, along with convincing reasons of why she should read it. I got Whitney a baby food cookbook because she was expecting in about two months. Jamey (Whitney's husband) Boondock Saints DVD because he likes movies like that. I got my mum the Josh Groban Christmas CD and a bottle of the perfume I use because she loves it. I got my dad a Michael Phelps book that he liked. And for Liam and Lori (Liam's now wife) the gift that I spent the most time on, a framed collage of them both. Pictures of when they were just friends, just starting to date, and then finally the proposal which had happened just a month earlier. I had to facebook stock their profiles as well as get onto Whitney's computer for pictures of them. It turned out to be pretty good. I explained what I had done and handed out the gifts and everyone was really taken aback. I was really looking forward to Liam and Lori's reaction. They kind of just hid behind the collage and pointed and talked. I was getting kind of nervous when they finally told me that they liked it a lot and said it was really sweet. I like how it turned out. I had spent about 6 hours on Christmas Eve working on it. The printers I was using must have know that I was trying to do something nice for someone because they were both being a bitch. I was watching The Office the whole time. LOL. It wasn't that bad despite the finicky printers. I love The Office. Before the Christmas music came on today I was watching Jim and Pam best moments on YouTube. Seriously, the kiss in the season 2 finale is the Best. Kiss. Ever. I want one. I also want to re-watch the wedding. I am fully convinced that the reason I didn't cry was because I was watching it with my roommate. Tomorrow though when not many people will be on the internet and hulu will be cooperative I will watch it and I will cry.
I had a Chai Tea Latte for the first time ever yesterday and it was AMAZING! Danielle had told me that it tasted like Christmas, but I didn't know exactly what it would be like. I'm so glad I had it. I had a Pumpkin Spice Latte only 2 days before. I hope I'm not turning into a Starbucks junkie. That could really put a huge dent in my bank account. Poor bank account. I definitely want more of those Christmas tasting Chai Lattes though. Amazing.
Only 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days, 7 hours, and 19 minutes until legitimate Christmas music listening slash Christmas movie watching!!
Only 2 months, 1 week, 6 days, 7 hours, and 17 minutes until Christmas!!
Currently listening: An Epic Christmas Tale, Chapter One: How the Thestrals Saved Christmas by The Mudbloods. Favourite Christmas song ever.
Still reading the same thing as last time so instead I'll post what my favourite Christmas movies are.
Muppet Christmas Carol. Best Muppet Movie and Christmas Carol movie adaption ever. I used to watch it over and over again during Christmas. Som
etimes I would watch it 4 times in one day.
Elf. I just love the part when the kid reads Santa's list book on the news. It's awesome.
Home Alone. I remember when I used to go to Tulsa, Oklahoma to visit grandparents and cousins for Thanksgiving and every year after Thanksgiving dinner the kids would gather round the old TV in the old den that my grandfather built with his own two hands and watch Macaulay Culkin outsmart the bad guys. We managed to fight through the tryptophan.
Favourite Christmas Songs:
The aforementioned song by the Mudbloods. This is the song I am planning to put with my Winter video that (if it is ever completed ) I will make sure to post on this blog. I love this song. It's just happy. The Mudbloods rock!
Joy to the World by Nicholas Jonas. Yes. That Nicholas Jonas. It was when he was younger and cuter (not that he's not cute now, but he was little boy cute). He is such a good singer. I remember the first time I heard this song. I was about 14 and I had fallen asleep to the radio during Christmas time and this song came on in the middle of the night when I was asleep. Suddenly I woke up. I'm not exactly sure what woke me up, but I was amazed about the song on the radio and tried so hard to find his CD, but couldn't. I finally found the song on iTunes about a year ago.
Nargles in the Mistletoe by The Moaning Myrtles. Genius. It's amazing what they can do with that character. I wish I was as talented musically as they were. I couldn't write a decent sounding song to save my life.
Happy Christmas Day by Oliver Boyd and the Rememberalls. I love this band. They are really good and End of an Era always puts me on the brink of tears. This song is so happy!
Happy Christmas anyway! And for your enjoyment and also because I mentioned her briefly earlier, here is my 7 month old niece, Caroline.
