So......both today (12/24) and yesterday (12/23), i was forced to go Christmas shopping by my dad. he insisted yesterday that i get my mom a gift, and today that i get my sister one. not that i have anything against giving gifts, I just did NOT know what they wanted (OK, i know my mom wanted a garden gnome doormat, but there is NO WAY IN HECK i am getting her one of those). i have problems like that - i want to get people gifts, but i don't know what to give them. There are some people whom i feel obligated to give gifts to, i.e. family and very close friends. Then there are the other-friends-whom-i-am-not-extremely-close-to-but-who-got -me-gifts-anyway. Sigh. The holidays are rough. But still, I was able to have some people over on Saturday, and I hope the pleasure of my company made up for any discrepancies, because of course it is such an honor to be in my presence. :D Aw, you guys know I love you. Hope that's enough of a present.
Anyway, another topic. Who here likes pins? I know I do! i'm not talking about the kind you use for sewing, i'm talking about the kind with funny slogans that I attach to my book bag. Here are some of my favorites (that I have seen, not necessarily on my bag.)
- Those who dance are thought crazy by those who can't hear the music.
- The best things in life aren't things.
- Well-behaved women seldom make history. (this is seriously one of my favorite quotes ever)
- Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing an idiot.
- One person can only do so much. (the only is crossed out - i can't replicate that, i'm no formatting wizard)
I only brought this up because i came upon some pins while (surprise, surprise) Christmas shopping yesterday. i think they are amazingly fun.
So, in conclusion, happy holidays everyone. Later this evening, I'll be off to drink hot chocolate, open a single present, read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" with my family, go to bed, and then wake up promptly at six a.m. using my still-existent childlike instincts. Enjoy your break, guys!
Love,
Ali

Yeah, I have that not-knowing-what-to-give-people problem too. but this year i came up with a solution. I gave people extremely random presents. I mean, I gave Bo a plastic frog. You can't get much more random than that. but nevertheless i ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! and I'm writing a bit more than usual because I was in CHAPPAQUA today and I have not communicated with my friends ALL DAY!!!
