Happy MIA Holidays!

I am getting freakin good at this whole disappearing act! The good thing though, is that I am apparently not the only one because my google reader is not as full as it would normally be!

So what's been going on?

Well I like point form. Point form is fun. So lets do it that way.

• I went drunk bowling. Drunk bowling is the bomb. Apparently I also sent drunk text messages and took drunk pictures as well. I forgot about them too until I checked my phone's "outbox" and had several giggles to myself about it. Here is one of my fabulous drunk photos (Answer Becky):

• While out drunk bowling I realized something very interesting. If someone doesn't understand me, I automatically refer to Spanish. I've done this several times but never made the connection until now. I was trying to have a conversation with a Japanese guy that did not speak nor understand Engrish very well and I kept busting out in Spanish to him, thinking that he would get it. I'm not in Mexico, this rule does not apply anymore....what is my problem? Alcohol? I think NOT!

• We got some snow. Or rather A LOT. This is not normal for Vancouver. But dump it did. I am lucky to have not had any driving issues and the one time I did I got pushed out pretty easily by a friend. So we had a white xmas. White xmas' are cool. I was into it. And apparently, my terror kitty Moco had a ball watching the flakes come down. Just look at the intensity in her eyes:

• And this was outside my work window on xmas eve. Cool view right?

• I spent xmas eve and xmas day with my family. It was interesting to say the least. Having celebrated it so many years without my family, I have to say, I'm on the fence about the whole thing. Having lived in Mexico, I think there is a more relaxed feeling about the holiday than what I experienced here. In Mexico it's about music and people laughing and talking and drinking and letting loose, having a good time. My xmas here was situated around a table (both at mom's and dad's) and I honestly felt restricted and a little strained. It was different for me and my plans of hot chocolate and Bailey's kinda went out the window since I was out late the night before and since dinner can last for at least 5 hours at an Italian household. Yeah, I'm not kidding about the 5 hours!

• I like a boy but he's going away for 7 weeks. Actually I know him from back in the day (just friends then) and we have reconnected (yay Facebook). I'm learning a lot about how normal people behave and react. You'd think that after a year of being free from dickwad that I would have figured things out and that it would be smooth sailing. Not so much. Lots of things flow through my head but at least I'm smart enough to keep them there and discuss them with good friends who quickly remind me that he's behaving like a normal nice guy would. So in his mind, I'm rather normal. I'd like to keep it that way. Anyhow, off he goes traveling for a bit and I really hope he has a fabulous time. In the meantime I will continue to work on myself and reverse the fuckedupedness that's been going on in my head. That's a good word by the way (fuckedupedness). I encourage you all to use it.
  

• Tonight is New Years Eve and I shall happily shed 2008. Not so much because it was a bad year. It wasn't. But a lot of things went on and instead of reflecting on those things, I just want to wish myself a great 2009. The planets are aligned in my favor and frankly, it's about fucking time.
  

Happy New Year my fabulous friends. I love you all. You rock like rock stars and are the sunshine in my day. Seriously it's true. I mean it. Thank you to my friends who have stuck by me in my retardness. I know I'm not always a walk in the park but you get me through it and it means the world to me. Thank you. You really do know who you are and I don't have to name you. So just accept this as a thank you.

So here's to a freaking great 2009. Strive for the best possible YOU ever and all will fall in place for a happy and healthy year.

Muak!

Hugs and kisses.

P.S. Sorry to all my FB friends who have already seen the above pics. I have been sucky at the picture taking thing lately and frankly, I have to RECYCLE!
