First Ramble!
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: The Siamese Cat Song
Aw, it's my first entry in my first Blog! How exciting. Right... well, I don't think I'll ramble too much about anything today. Don't want to scare anyone off on my first day. Actually, I take that back. I will ramble about something: Christmas.

Don't get me wrong, I love X-Mas. I love the cold weather... I love all the happy faces... I hate the songs. In fact, I think the only Christmas song that tweaks my ears is All I Want For Christmas Is You. I'm not even sure that's the right title, and I have absolutely no foggy idea who sings it.

One Christmas song I hate (I'll Be Home For Christmas) proved to change my heart, though. I recently heard it sung by Jesse McCartney. Beautiful voice, beautiful eyes, and downright sexy in my opinion. I had the opportunity to meet him not too long ago... sweet as can be, and modest, let me tell you. I told the guy he had a great smile, and he invented a shade of red I'd never seen before. He probably doesn't even remember it. Oh, well. It's easy to forget me... well, sometimes.
Anyway, back to Christmas. It's really not about the gifts, you know. Actually, isn't Christmas some kind of pagan thing? I'm not sure... heard it somewhere. Still, that's not the point. My point IS: Christmas is about being HAPPY, and enjoying your family and friends (when you have friends.)

What struck me as dumb, retarded, and just about every other insult on the planet was something that happened to a close friend of mine. I'm not naming names, but here's the story. Names and states replaced for obvious reasons:

Sue's daughter Sally moved from Planet X back to Planet Y after TEN years. Ten, people. Sue hadn't seen her daughter, or her grandkids in TEN years. Surprisingly, Sue began to feel than Sally was using her for money... "I need this, and I need that, and I need it now." Sue, being the nice mother she is, buys Sally a beautiful make-up kit ($50!). Sally, being the mean daughter she is, tells Sue "Mom, this is what I want for X-Mas" It was something other than what Sue bought. Sue says, "Sally, I've already got you something." Sally says, "Sue, take it back. This is what I want."

The nerve! The moral of this story is: when your mother, who is running low on money, takes the time to buy you something the thinks might be nice for you, TAKE IT! Sally made Sue CRY this close to Christmas.

With that said, I'm now irritated beyond all reason. Christmas, people. Enjoy it.

Merry X-Mas!
