I went home for Thanksgiving and it was a lot of fun. I watched Glee with some of my closest friends. I also talked about Europe with my family on Thanksgiving day and now my sister Whitney really wants to go. My mum and I were discussing plans and she was listening and she was like, "I've been meaning to go to Italy". Then later she came up to her husband, Jamie while he was talking to my sisters in law and I and said, "Honey, two things: First, we're going to Italy in May, and second, look what mum and dad got us!" (something for Caroline). She is funny. So, Whitney and Jamie are most likely going as well as my other sister Megan and her best friend Nelda who is pretty much an unofficial member of our family. I'm not sure about Liam and Lorrie.
Since then I've watched a ridiculous amount of Doctor Who as well as ordered two DW books. Also, it snowed on Tuesday and today. Tuesday was more of a rain snow and it was very wet, but it was definitely white and it was definitely cold. After having breakfast with my roommate I went on a detour back to my dorm to see the two known Camaros in the car park because I knew they would look awesome in the snow, and as a result of this detour had to use every single free surface in my room to dry out my very wet slash cold clothes. Today, however, the snow was of the dry variety and didn't stick to the ground as much. It was very pretty though and I realised for the first time that snowflakes are indeed all different from each other. I thought that was just a myth! It's beautiful and I stood there outside on the sidewalk holding my red glove up to my face with my mouth hanging open, looking like an idiot. I was just so enthralled. It was glittery and amazing. I want more of it!
My friend Kelli recently posted a Christmas blog which inspired this one. You should read it. In it she talked about Elf and how he made the snowflake cutouts and decorated the store in them. After reading this, I got up, looked at my room and realised how sparsely decorated it is. I have half a line of twinkly lights which only take care of half of my wall space (that is only a quarter of my room that has twinkly lights!!) and red tinsel garland stuff with golden baubles (Gryffindor colours) and candy canes hanging on them. Kind of pathetic. I looked down at my incapacitated printer and the pile of unused, unopened white printer paper on top. It will be used for good.
Yesterday was Carol of the Lights at my school. We all went outside to watch the campus Christmas lights come on all at once. It was cold and I layered a lot! I wore two pairs of jeans. Two pairs! I didn't even know that was possible! I also wore my new khaki trench coat that makes me feel like a detective and my new fleece gloves which are very soft and I never want to take them off.
That is it. That was kind of pathetic, but I am very tired. This concludes two very late nights in a row for me and I am not very coherent as a result. It is also very cold in my room at the moment and my mac mouse isn't registering my touch. It's like I have dead person hands. Goodnight.
You should watch this video. : )
Currently Reading:
Sadly, nothing at the moment. My DW books were supposed to be in by now. I do hope nothing has happened to them.
Currently Listening:
It's Snowing by Catchlove. Fitting, given the very cold circumstances. : )
Also, Somebody to Love from the cast of Glee. I keep rewatching the video on YouTube, but I think I'm going to invest in the soundtrack fairly soon (like early tomorrow) so that I don't have to watch Finn's awkward dancing.
19 days, 15 hours, and 57 minutes until Christmas!!
Ahh! I love Christmas! :]
ReplyDeleteMy room mate and I just finished decorating yesterday. Well, kind of, we will probably add more as the days go on.
The Carol of Lights sounds amazing!
The count down at the end made me smile.
