... /awkward silence

Oh, goodness, it's been just over a month since I posted.

Well... Christmas was fantastical!

I didn't get pictures of everything, but I got pictures of most of my favorites, so I might as well share them... /rambling

On Christmas Eve, we opened our presents. Highlights of the evening included the awesome owl scarf that my mum made me...

... and the sheet music to Owl City's most recent album, All Things Bright and Beautiful. Oh, boy, I squealed.

Then, on Christmas Day, we drove out to my aunt and uncle's house for the big family get-together, and I got more loot. Including an awesome lace parasol...

... as well as a Dalek alarm clock (which I have since named Soupy. Yes - Soupy), and the always epic Lord of the Rings PEZ set xD

Christmas was a lot of fun. I spent quite a bit of time in the car, but I like the car. Plus I got to sleep for a good amount of the car time, which was absolutely lovely ^_^ I had a blast over Christmas break - getting to sleep in, and watching all 3 seasons of Merlin in under a week. IT WAS EPIC.

I've been having fun getting back into school. I'm doing the same online American literature class that I was doing last semester, but I'm doing the live version now. Last semester, I just watched the recordings, but I decided pretty early on that I wanted to switch over to the live class. It's a lot more fun, and I'm getting a lot more out of it. It's on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It's such a neat class! Our teacher is really awesome, and very obviously passionate about what he's teaching. Plus, I have some really awesome classmates. Today, we had the elections for class president, and we were all required to give a speech on why we should be president. It was absolutely hilarious! Mine was semi-serious, although I was mumbling like a giddy chipmunk through it, and I had fun promising them that if they voted for me, all of their wildest dreams would come true xD It's probably good I didn't win, because some of my classmates have really weird dreams...

I'm really excited by some of the story ideas that I've been having recently. They're all arguing for space in my brain, so I'm having to prioritize and jump around so I can maintain what little sanity I still have. Currently, I'm writing a fantasy novel, a steampunk novel, and about four different novellas/short stories, all while dealing with guilt over giving up/pausing the story that I was writing in November, which I completely lost interest in. It's all quite distracting, but I love every minute of it. I've been listening to a lot of my favorite instrumental music, Port Blue, to keep my imagination gliding. It's magical =3

We'll see how well I can keep my blog updated for the next while xD

TTFN!
