Thoughts & Words – Page 43 – Sip of Starrshine

I really want to start playing my holiday playlist right now, but I tried that on Tuesday and Wednesday and it just didn’t feel right. I know it’s a week early, so it feels wrong to be listening to “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” when it’s not yet.

I want to hear holiday songs on the radio.
I want to start decorating everything in red & gold, or blue & silver. (I usually tend towards red & gold because it’s warmer.)
I want to watch holiday specials like “A Charlie Brown Christmas” on TV.
I want to drive past houses all decorated with lights.
I want to wish desperately for snow.

Ahh, I'd love to spend my favorite season in my favorite city.

I’m already in holiday mode.
Work? Nah.
Play? BRING IT.

Also, I feel kind of like shopping. I’m not really the kind of girl who enjoys shopping, but lately I’ve been feeling so girly. I want to buy makeup, for goodness sake. I don’t wear makeup except for the times I did stuff onstage, so if I buy makeup, I’ll most likely wear it for a day (maybe two) and then remember how grueling it is to have to put on my face every day. I am far too lazy to go through the full routine, and knowing me, I would have to go all or nothing.

Is it Thanksgiving yet?
Better yet, is it winter break yet?

I want to see HP7 but I don’t want to go until the frenzy dies down a bit.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, “Let’s be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly!

The weather has been so nice this past week. I love it.

(Trip to the city was so nice. I got to show Linda this view, plus I got to see Elvin for the first time in almost 6 years?)

However… it makes me feel like it’s summer vacation already. Oh, how I long for summer vacation. I have no school obligations during summer vacation. Schoolwork looms like a storm cloud over my lovely spring break. Same goes for winter break, although it’s a bit less then since it’s intersession.

Just wanted to say my bit about how nice the weather has been. I haven’t been appreciating it properly.
“I’m going to do my work outside!”
“You’re doing your work?”
Oh well.

So I upgraded my MS Office pack from 2003 to 2007, primarily because I wanted OneNote. Not sure why… but I did. I remember using Word 2007 a while back and the little “Ribbon” thing or whatever frustrated me. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! I usually use OpenOffice, but I do get a little frustrated with it every now and then. What’s better? Office 2007 or OpenOffice 3.1?
