Comet!Cupid!Donner!Blitzen!

Blizten was always my favorite reindeer... well, maybe not always, but he is now at least. Also, I don't play reindeer games. You know, those silly little social events you go to just because you're expected to? Yeah. I don't play them.

Oh, and hello, deviantART. I hope everyone has been doing well.Believe it or not, I have kept up with most of you, I just haven't been commenting. Now that I think about it, I feel a little bit stalker-like.

I still love you guys!

Not a whole lot has been going on here. Aaron and I bought ourselves new cell phones for Christmas. They're pretty neat. Last weekend we had some friends over to play some games, but that's really the most social thing I've done in a long time. I don't mind though.

I've been working a lot, especially this week. One of our servers in Missouri got flooded, so there was a big outage, and now everyone is working mandatory overtime to make up for the lost time. Today was supposed to be my day off, but I had to go in. The good news is that when I'm on overtime I can work pretty much whatever hours I damn well please, haha. Plus my next paycheck will be nice and fat. Just in time to spend it all for Christmas!

I honestly can't say that I'm surprised that the year is almost over. Quite the opposite, actually. I can't believe it took this long for the damn thing to be over. This year has been just completely hectic. I feel that I learned a lot this year, though. I learned how to be patient and how to compromise. I learned how to work for the things I want. But I also learned that no matter how hard I work, some things just cannot (should not!) be. Some friendships just can't be saved. I tried my hardest, but in the end I couldn't win. But that's okay, because you know what? I've also learned to stop being sorry for things that aren't my fault.

It was a good year, I think. It's not over yet, but I don't see anything horrible happening in the near future.

Do you?

Edit

So, yeah. I just went to Toys R Us (I was looking for a water gun... the don't have any this time of year, just so you know). And I found this, and it was just too great to pass up.

The box says that this product is made of 100% recycled awesome. I'd have to agree. Merry Christmas to me!

Direction.

Settling. Down? In? Whichever it is, that's what I'm doing.

Things at my new job are going pretty well. There are only a few calls a day that I really have trouble with, and in those cases whoever I ask for help is generally also rather confounded by the situation. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on things. I've been working all weekend (in fact I'm at work right now), but it hasn't been bad. Yesterday I ended up working an hour of overtime, so today Aaron came up to Dallas and had lunch with me on the Company.

Today has been extremely slow. They're doing a routine update of all of our systems, so they didn't schedule any installations for today, which drastically reduces our call volume. I spent most of the morning coloring in an old Garfield Coloring & Activity book. It's been great fun. The best part is that I get paid 1.5 times my normal wages because it's a Sunday. Best day ever.

At home I've really just been piddling my time away. I like it though. I didn't have to work on Thursday, so I went and got a hair cut. It's really quite short, but I think it looks, dare I say it, cute. After that a friend and I went to the Dallas Arboretum. They're having a pumpkin festival, and it was a miserably gray and chilly day, so it felt just like home! We had a good time. I hate to admit it, but I'm really glad she moved here. We've been friends forever, and I generally don't make friends with local people that I don't necessarily enjoy just for the sake of convenience, so it's nice to have someone I really enjoy and that is close enough to call up and hang out with at a moment's notice. I'll be sad when she goes.

In other news, I'm in the process of planning a trip up to New York sometime next year. Part of me wants to wait until September/October (preferably September, I want to take Aaron to the Garlic Festival) of next year, because it will be cool and beautiful, but the other part of me simply does not want to wait that long. We'll see. A year seems like a long time, but I suspect that next September will be here before I know what hit me.

I'm pretty sure I'm done flapping my gums now. I've been keeping up with everyone's journals, so I do wish the very best to everyone, but I'm keeping my nose out of things, especially where I know my advice is not wanted. I trust you guys to take care of yourselves.
