Yeah, I know it's not quite Friday yet but it will be in about 13 minutes so... deal with it.

1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year?  Two, actually... Finding a wonderful boyfriend and finding a real job.  As much as I loved working for Theatrix (and I really did, regardless of how much I complained) and I would do it for free, or if I had nothing to pay for in life, I do need a job that actually provides an income which I can use to pay for school/car/etc.  So yay for working at the restaurant and not chickening out, regardless of Jim and Matt W.'s opinions.

2. What was your biggest disappointment?  Two, again, my grades, which were not so great because I was a slacker, and I freely admit it, and pretty much losing someone I considered to be my best friend.  But, I guess, sometimes you're going to have that and, as hard as you try, there isn't a lot you can do about it.

3. What do you hope the new year brings?  Happiness, weight loss... and for all my single friends - wonderful significant others, like they all deserve.

4. Will you be making any New Year's resolutions? If yes, what will they be?  Probably something about being less of a slacker, and more patient and hardworking.

5. What are your plans for New Year's Eve?  I am having a PAR-TAY at my house and I am very excited about it!  :)

I dunno... I shouldn't post... I think I can't handle drink because I only had a mudslide but I feel drunk.  Maybe drinking when you're depressed makes you drunk faster... I dunno.  But I don't understand why Mr. Hart doesn't do the 'I'm holding you by the head and giving you advice or telling you how great you are' thing to me... and it makes me sad.  like, seriously, sad to the point of crying.  And I think I'm going to not work at the restaurant because I'm hearing lots of bad things about it.  And that makes me sad too because then I have to find a different job.  But now I'm going to bed.  Cuz I quit.

Yeah, so there's ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN DAYS UNTIL HARRY POTTER & THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN IS RELEASED IN THEATRES!  YAY!!!  Emma Thompson!  Alan Rickman!  David Radcliffe and Rupert Grint and Tom Felton and Emma Watson!  Julie Christie!  John Cleese!  Robbie Coltrane!  Dawn French!  The Phelps twins!  Maggie Smith!  Sean Biggerstaff!  Jason Issacs!  Mmmm so many wonderful people!  I LOVE HARRY POTTER!

In other news, I want to go see Love Actually and Timeline again.  Very good movies.

Last night, we went to Perkins (as you could tell by the Perkins Time! song I posted last night) and then I got home and jumped into mom's car and we went to Barnes & Noble, Media Play & Walmart.  MOMMY GOT ME THE LOTR3 SOUNDTRACK!!  Yay for Billy Boyd singing prettily!  Cutest little hobbitses in the world: Merry & Pippen! 

Anyways, I am going to go clean and such because I'm a good daughter with a wonderful Mommy who is going to LOVE her Christmas present (provided it gets here by X-mas - eek!)!!!!

So, here's Laura's really bad joke...
A man came to a farmer and asked if he had any spare jobs he could do, for he had no money.  the farmer gave him a tin of paint and sent him to paint the porch. 
The guy returned to the farmer soon after who was surprised at his quick work. 
The guy replied, "Oh, it was easy. and by the way, it wasn't a porsche, it was a BMW."

Yeah, it kinda made me groan but it made me smile and giggle a bit. 

That's all for today...

Well, except, Wonderful Life opened and didn't suck Balzac and then there was Perkins Time! Perkins Time!

Perkins time, Perkins time
Come on, mateys, Perkins time
Perkins time
Perkins time, Perkins time
Perkins time, Perkins time
Never need a reason,
Never need a rhyme
Perkins time, it's Perkins time!

Kick your knees up!
Kick your knees up, Perkins time
Kick your knees up, Perkins time
Never need a reason,
Never need a rhyme
Kick your knees up, Perkins time

Perkins time, Perkins time
Perkins time, Perkins time
Never need a reason,
Never need a rhyme
Perkins time, it's Perkins time!

Ah! They're at it again!
Ah! They're at it again, Perkins time
Ah! They're at it again, Perkins time
Ah! They're at it again, Perkins time

It's the master!
It's the master, Perkins time
It's the master, Perkins time

What's all this?
What's all this?
What's all this?

ANYWAYS, now that I have completely exploited Richard M. & Robert B. Sherman's lovely lyrics in Mary Poppins, I shall mosey on over to make myself some fried rice and then go to bed.  Gnyte all!

Today is Tuesday.  Yesterday was Monday.  Nothing exciting happened.  I went to school, took my Aural Skills final, didn't flunk it too badly, hung out in the ER with Laura and Nichole (and Matt for a couple minutes) and we played Rummy until Mommy came to take me away to go shopping and get lunch, afterwards I came back to school and went to an entirely pointless Theory class before going home.  At home, I did... nothing.  Well, I played Sims.  But that qualifies as 'nothing.'  Then I went to Wonderful Life rehearsal which was... interesting due to the lack of set pieces, lights, etc.  After rehearsal, I came home and watched some TV before going to bed.  So far today, I have done nothing.  Literally.  I slept til 11 and then went up and took a shower and now I'm journalling.  Later I will probably be going shopping with Cameron and then going to rehearsal, after which I was supposed to go see Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, but I think I'm going to come home and sleep instead, unless I go to Dollar Tuesday.  But yeah, so that's been the exciting past 2 days.  Rah!

So then I updated something OTHER than quizzes and "I'll update soon."

This weekend, thus far, has been good.  Friday I got up early and took my car in, came back home and cleaned for awhile, went to class, went with Dad to pick up my car (and got a full tank of gas in the process) and then came home.  Cameron came over and we, well, did a lot of nothing... played cards, went to dinner with Larissa, taught her Shapoo, nothing too exciting.  Saturday, I slept in, spent the day at home (playing Sims mostly).  In the evening, Cameron came over and we played Rummy with Lara (I kicked their asses!), and then we went to see Timeline.  Pretty good movie, I thought.  I have to admit, though, that I would rather have spent the $6 on Once Upon A Time In Mexico (which I saw Tuesday) and the $1 on Timeline.  Oh well.  It all balances out in the end.  Anywho, it's way past my bedtime and I imagine I will be up late-ish playing D&D tomorrow so I am going to head to bed.

Gnyte!

1. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays? Hmm... well, I enjoy how they look... from inside my warm house.  But I don't really enjoy going outside into the cold... when the car takes 20 minutes to warm up and it only takes 10 minutes to get where I'm going.

2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect?  I really just enjoy the whole family get-together, big dinner, share presents dealie...

3. Do you do have any holiday traditions? Well, I'm Polish so we have a big Polish dinner with herring and beet soup and other traditional Polish food.

4. Do you do anything to help the needy? Not really... I probably should, and I'm sure I will, once I can afford to put gas into my car and such.

5. What one gift would you like for yourself? If I could have whatever I wanted for Christmas, I kinda need a new computer and a slightly-less-ghetto car, but realistically... I will be happy just being around my friends and family over Christmas break.

...I could update more often.  But it is special, so updatage will be lacking lately... my apologies!
