What I'm Listening To: White Christmas-Bing Crosby
I love this holiday, I must confess. So full of joy and it always makes me feel like this. For me, it's all about keeping the Christ in Christmas and letting the whole world know the amazing feeling that I feel. I got my family presents and they all liked them. I've been doing some of my own shopping with money I've gotten as presents, bought myself some books, and expect for myself to be flat broke within the week. I can't wait for Spain and I am excited and kind of wondering what my Christmas will be like next year. I think I need to stop looking on Ebay and Tiffanys though (I know good and well that I should/can be able to wait until my 21st until I decide to gift myself that.
But on the Ebay note, I've found so many good deals on there, especially perfume. I got a new Gucci Envy Me perfume for only $45 and the shipping was free. That was a steal. And I'm also looking at some Este Lauder Pleasure, Poison by Christian Dior, Pure Purple by Hugo Boss, Light Blue by Dulce and Gabbana, and I recently got Island by Michael Kors for my best friend and she loved that. And all of the ones that I have found are about $50 or just under $60, if you look hard enough you can find them.
And just because I'm a Lord of the Rings freak I found Arwen's Evenstar pendant and plan to buy that as well. I really need to get a WELL paying job to support this intricate taste....
In short, through showering myself with expensive gifts (kidding!) for a good Christmas, I will be satisfied and relaxed (for about another three days until the fun of work and a new year starts). But hey, happiness at any time, is amazing ;)

Computer crashes without external hardrives SUCK
What I'm Listening To: Good Morning-Chamillionaire
I already wrote this post, and shall have to write it again because the internet logged on and off unexpetedly. My computer crashed yesterday and I had to take it to our Division of Information Technology. They said that it could take seven days. SEVEN DAYS. It's the week before finals and I have no computer. Sad. The good news is that they might be able to save it. The bad news is that the updated versions of both of my stories are on the hardrive. We'll see what happens. I saw two old friends on the way out, so that was nice.
One thing that I did over the weekend was see Whitewater's Miss Black and Gold Pageant. It was really well put on, but the girls definitely needed more practice in walking and posing. Brittany Landry, who used to go to King with me, won. I'm happy for her, and I just hope that our girls will be as prepared because I don't think that I can do this all by myself. There was a lot of God in this production of Miss Black and Gold, which really struck me. One girl gave her testimony in the talent portion because she had made it into a rap song. I thought that was a great idea. Dre took me up there and back. I've missed talking to her and hopefully I can try to stay in better contact with her.
I've gotten myself involved in yet another thing, the Pink and Black Benefit for the Campus Women's Center here. It should be really fun, but I'd better try to find some music and make sure that I'm devoting enough time. I also got involved in the production of the Vagina Monologues. The director just gave out the parts today and I got one. On one hand, I'm excited because it's my first production while I've been in college and on the other hand it's a little nerve-wrecking. But I'm definitely more excited than anything.
For VIP, our food drive ended today and we had free hot chocolate for everyone who participated, so that was fun and interesting. The battle between red and white will be announced soon. My team red was strong the whole way through, but white really wanted it in the end! I'm glad that it was a successful drive, mad props to the marketing team. I gave money because there wasn't really a store near me that sold canned food, and truthfully, money was easier.
Basically, my family better like the Christmas presents I bought because I went broke buying them! Can't wait till I get paid at the end of this week and hopefully all of this work won't have killed me by then.
O yes, and today was the first snow, so I had to pull out my boots with the fur. Apparently it's going to get worse, so we will most likely have a White Christmas, not that I'm dreaming of one though...
