::bounces in:: HI!!! IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE IN TWO HOURS!!!!!

Okay, so I haven't been around because I've just now gotten a modem cable for my room. Short history of the first week of break:

Friday -- broke the basement, as previously described

Saturday -- somehow obtained summer job at Bed Bath & Beyond, worked at Dr. Marc's (which means I currently hold down three jobs. SCORE)

Sunday -- shopped for Mom w/Dad. Bought lots of stuff. Replaced Flogging Molly t-shirt with Pogues t-shirt because it was green and it said "Shamrock 'n' Roll;" now must actually listen to Pogues

Monday -- short bit of work, brief strange sickness resulting in bile thrown up in the sink, went home to recuperate. Received Tina's Christmas present, which was OMG NAKED LADY ART YAY (took pictures, will scan)

Tuesday -- shopping excursion to Columbia w/Tina and Meg --> picking up Katherine for Hamburger Hamlet --> Borders --> Michaels for crafty stuff including new yarn yay --> Blockbusters for movies ("Napolean Dynamite" and "Shaun of the Dead") --> Safeway for snacks --> COLLAPSE AT LAST @ Fern's

Wednesday -- laid around and watched movies, cut three and a half inches off hair (not, y'know, personally

Thursday -- work, "House of Flying Daggers" @ Fern's (she has the Chinese DVD, AWESOME, and that was one hot Asian dude), Dad uttering the immortal words "Hey, put it back on "The O.C.," I was watching it"

And thus we are caught up. I don't even want to look at how much skip I would be going through on the flist, so just poke me if anything interesting happened, fic included -- oh! And I finally saw "The Boondock Saints" (twice in one day, actually) and I know somebody's been writing it around here...

HOLIDAY! :)
