oh, ho the holidays

This Christmas was a success. I'm looking forward to this week for my new iMac. It's taking all I have not to piddle my pants in excitement. I'll be one of the happiest little girls. I also got an air compressor for Jeffrey, my car, I so badly needed and a set of murderous knives...mwuahahaha!! Just kidding, they're for kitchen use only...so you better steer clear of the kitchen if you want to keep your life! Just kidding again. Anyway, we've been using these terrible steak knives for cutting everything that butter knives can't conquer. It'll be nice to have a sharp blade to slice with.
My sister made me this brilliant practically life size doll. It's creepily adorable, and I had to laugh admiringly when I pulled her from the box so I wouldn't cry my delite. I'll try to get a picture of her on here. She has already frightened me twice since I left her sitting on the couch, and I came home opening my door to what I first percieved as an unexpected presence. It's a great creation, and I was quite impressed with my little, but as tall as me, sister. She is full of mystery, that girl. I think she will grow up into greatness, maybe conquer a couple cities or live in the jungle somewhere.
This is the longest I've gone without seeing Brandon. In total it will have been about a month. I haven't had to separate from someone I'm so fond of since I dated Ryan. It's a strange feeling. It's like temporarily losing your keys. At first it feels worse than it really is, like you'll never find them again. Then you realize that you used to live your life without a car, and it's not so bad getting around without it, but you miss it. Then one distant day they pop back into your life when you clean the closet and realize the dog had added them to his secret prohibited items to chew stash. Oh there's that shoe, too! So now you have it all back again, you lucky girl.
I got my haircut today. I haven't had bangs like these since I was small, it's funny to see them on grown up Pearl. Yes, that's right, grown up. This grown up also got her internet bill today, boo. And now I'm back in San Marcos. It seems I may be the only one saying that, too. That's alright, I welcome alone time after a week with the family. I need to touch up some things on Cameron's picture and I do have work tomorrow morning. Other than that I have no obligations, that's a strange feeling too. I better take advantage of it since it won't last long.
