This

I guess my first clue should've been the fact that I saw For Whom the Bell Tolls in my living room this morning.

Merry Christmas, every human!

I got a ton of music stuff, too, so I'll be spending time with that.

Best wishes,

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Those are the final words in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which I'm sure all who've read the novel know quite well. They've been strong on my mind ever since I finished the novel two months ago.

What do they mean to me?

Okay, I'm not going to be doing much on the site until after Christmas, I'm working on a larger project at the moment that's taking priority over all the stuff on the site.

I'll let all ya'll know about that Monday-ish.

So if I actually decide to do something productive tomorrow, I'm going to make a typed draft of that story I've been working on.

For anyone who cares, I'll leave you the picture that gave me the idea to write, edit, and actually make an account.

One of these days, I'm going to copy my handwritten draft to a word document so I can go over it another million and a half times.

For those who actually read this, be patient, my story is arriving. In several weeks maybe, but it is indeed arriving.

Here, have MAGIC.MOV related wubs.

Okay, so where was I?

Oh yeah. That.

So I get a dangerously low amount if sleep. Like less than four hours a night. I know, I should do something about it, but for some reason I've started procrastinating on everything recently. The new site design didn't really help anything, either. I've been busy exploring what's new.

If anything, this semester of school is almost over, and hopefully I'll be back on a healthy sleeping schedule after break.

At the soonest possible opportunity, please do this. I'm going to as soon as I get on a PC so I can.

With love, Merry Christmas/Hunnakah/Quanza,
