So. I'm alive.

I got my hair cut. It's pretty short, but everyone says it looks very nice and very professional. Hopefully if/when I get this interview, it'll have the proper effect. It's odd for me, because I lost probably a good half foot worth of hair, if not a bit more, and I keep expecting something to be back there.

It'll take some time. I suppose I'll be used to it eventually.

Christmas eve services went well enough. My throat feels ragged. Everyone is really happy about the singing....I suppose it's because there were only 8 people singing, and I was the youngest by at least 20 years.

Oh, well.

Have a good holiday, everyone.

Getting to sleep was difficult.
Waking up moreso. I slept in until 10ish.
Showered, shaved, dressed...and came down to watch my parents fighting.
Went into the living room to duck the fight, and they moved into here. Fought in front of the Christmas tree. It was great.
Then I made toast.

Can't do presents until my Aunt, Uncle, and Grandparents arrive. That ought to be sometime in the next hour. I think.

And now they fight again. *sigh* At least they're in the other room, now. I'm still in front of the tree, and it does look very pretty. I took a few pictures. Will try to upload them later.

It's snowing. This gives me hope.

Well, we finally got to open about 1/3 of presents. Then we stopped so that stuff can be done for cooking and a break can be taken.

Needless to say, this is sacrilege, but oh, well.

So far I've gotten quite a few books, including Endless Nights, but the best gift, to my surprise, has come from my parents.

It's a set of beautiful glass goblets, whose stems are...well...rather than try to describe, why don't I show you?

The most touching part, though, is that technically these are only half mine.

Lisa? According to my parents, the red dragon goblet is yours.

I know this is horridly petty. But.

I asked for 2 things on my 'family' list when they asked for one.

A new MS Sidewinder joystick, and the extended TTT.

Got neither. I got some very lovely things, but what is the point of asking for a list if you'll not be getting things off it?

Oh, well. I'll probably go to the store tomorrow.
