Craaaaaaaap. It's snowing again, I can't get out, I'm stuck at home for Christmas eve, and I'm missing... well, everyone. My plan for this week, to make the holidays a bit better, was to get out and be, if not social, at least active. I was going to go to the gym, go see movies, see friends... something. Now I've been in this house for a whole week barring an hour on Saturday, I'm short on Christmas presents for boys (luckily I have until the weekend) and I'm just generally going slowly mad.
I need distractions like nobody's business. If you have any fondness for me at all, post something here for me so that I may substitute it for real human interaction and get through another day.
Oh, and I'm doubly disappointed, because I dreamt that it had rained and the streets were clear, and I was confused enough that when I woke up I thought it was real... until I saw the few inches of new snow that fell overnight.
I also dreamt that I had gone to school with John Cusack, met up with him again accidentally, finally worked up the guts to tell him I had a huge crush on him, and found out he thought I was cute too as opposed to patting me on the head and sending me away.
That one might be the most disappointing, actually. :)

I kind of doubt I'll be going in today (plus I kind of don't want to in this weather). Luckily for me, there's at least SOME stuff I can do by walking around here ... like I went to Half Price Books yesterday.
Also, I've done really lousy with buying anyone presents. And you'd think I could use this time to get stuff done, but I've mostly been lazing about. Oy.
Anyhow, we'll have to hang out again sometime in the new year. I think it's been ages.

There's a lot of little flash games you can play if you play the Make Me A Celebrity app -- that game itself is totally shallow and lets you indulge in that particular fantasy. As you go up in levels, you unlock games you can play which will add money & celebrity points to your "character" as well. They're the same kind of games you'd get from Yahoo! Games, though, so you can avoid the Facebook app if you like and just go there.
Remember the "badger badger badger" meme? Now they're doing it to trance music: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badgertrance
This was neat, and with a Christmas theme: http://www.akqa.com/happychristmas/
I can also offer sporadic chatting on Gtalk -- I've been dividing my time with playing games, school-related concerns, reading, futzing about on Facebook and other online bits (LibraryThing the newest, hehe), making wire-and-bead projects as they come to mind, chatting with Alex when he's available, and just... puttering. :)

It's worth it for the song titles alone, if you're an old-school NES fan. It amused the heck of out of me, anyway.

If it's any consolation, we're going to skip the drive into Seattle tonight -- Astra was looking forward to going to church, but the roads were really crappy when I went to pick her up from her mom's this afternoon. I don't want to drive on them in the dark and after possibly refreezing. Bummer.

Merry Christmas!
