Ho-hum.

Did you know we're in a new year?
Apparently.
I wish people would shut up about it, Christ all mighty. AN ARBITRARY AMOUNT OF TIME HAS PASSED? BETTER POST ABOUT IT FOR THE BETTER PART OF A WEEK!
I know I post a lot about FFXIV and other video games like anyone reading this is interested as a joke and no joke it is more interesting than 99% of all blog posts ever.
Speaking of:

31 leatherworker awww yeah son.
I like today's Writer's Block because I feel my answer perfectly encapsulates this entire project.
When was the last time you had a serious conflict with someone on LiveJournal, and what was it about?

MY LAST SERIOUS CONFLICT WAS THE EXISTENCE OF BLOGS AND IT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THREE YEARS.

You know, I read this and all I can think is, "Welcome to the new year! Let's dig up our old wounds and start the year off with a good old fashion bitch-fest!"

Oh well excuse me for trying to make a conversation.

I thought the new year is when you laid things aside and tried again. I vote for that.

I'm all for never forgetting a grudge. I vote for that.
Welp looks like my vote cancels your vote out. Why are we even putting this to a vote? Who else is voting?

Sorry, I'm just really,really tired of gut reaction negativity. Or all out searching for the most negative way to think about something.

Stop having gut reaction negativity about gut reaction negativity, jeez. Hypocrite.
I know I'm guilty of it at times as well, and I understand that sometimes we have to just revel in the grumpy.

HYPOCRISY.

However, as a lifestyle, it just useless and stupid and hurts the one doing it the most.

Negativity is a lifestyle?
Really?
I didn't know I was living an alternative lifestyle all this time. So when I was sitting in pussy sensitivity calling everyone pussies I could have been one of the in crowd too?
I feel so empowered!

I wasn't really going to do a wrap up of 2010. I mean, it was a big year for us in a lot of ways.

Not as big as 2011 is going to be.
Have you people seen the trailer for the new Elder Scrolls game?

It was a stressful year, and it was a year that showed us what we were made of.

I don't remember any of this.
Even though I feel like we survived it admirably and I'm glad we did. I don't want to linger on it.

Me too. I'm not sure what we did or where we're lingering (or if we're lingering literally or metaphorically) but I'm glad to be here. I think.

However, there were two things that 2010 brought me that I'm very grateful for, and those I want to take a moment and really think about.

I thought we weren't lingering?
So moving along, then--

First. Quilting.

I SAID "MOVING ALONG, THEN".
I'm sitting here in front of my Christmas tree, listening to Christmas music and surfing the net. What I'm really doing is getting sappy.

Most of the time, I love our life that has led us all over this beautiful country. Most of the time, I love being an integral part of my husband's family.

WE ARE GOING BACK TO CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
This is a party I went to every year of my young life. My aunt used to host it many, many moons ago.

BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN WE HAVE NO CHRISTMAS.

This is a party I went to every year of my young life. My aunt used to host it many, many moons ago. Every year. She used to have it on Christmas Eve. We would drive the hour down to her house and the hour back, all the while I would watch for Rudolph in the sky. These crazy, brash cousins and their children, who are really closer in age to me than they are.

AND THEN THEY PAVED OVER MY AUNT'S HOUSE TO MAKE TIRE PLANT. SUCH IS LIFE IN GLORIOUS SOCIALIST REPUBLIC.
There was an article awhile back that said that sitting in our office chairs is killing us, apparently especially if we are women.

SIT IN OFFICE CHAIR AND DEVELOP MISSILES FOR GLORIOUS MISSILE PROGRAMME.
Sometimes when I buy a piece of clothing, I know it's going to be a favorite.

IN SOVIET RUSSIA WE STAND IN LINE TO BUY WHATEVER CLOTHING THEY HAVE.
SOME DAY WE WAIT FOUR HOUR, SOME DAY THIRTY MINUTE.
THEN PAY 5000 RUBLES FOR BURLAP SACK.
SUCH IS LIFE IN GLORIOUS SOCIALIST REPUBLIC.
I can do this as long as you can, bitch.

What was the last song you couldn't get out of your head no matter how hard you tried?

DARK IN THE CITY, NIGHT IS A WIRE
STEAM IN THE SUBWAY, EARTH IS A FIRE
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO
I refuse to say,

WOMAN YOU WANT ME, GIVE ME A SIGN
AND CATCH MY BREATHING EVEN CLOSER BEHIND
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO

(for fear it will get stuck again) but I will tell you it was in Walmart, Sunday

IN TOUCH WITH THE GROUND,
I'M ON THE HUNT, I'M AFTER YOU
SMELL LIKE I SOUND, I'M LOST IN A CROWD
AND IIII'M HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF.
Here's an aweeeesome dictionary word! Let's see if we can define it before I click on the spoilers (NO CHEATING!)

lucifugous \loo-see-FOO-guhs\ , adjective;

Hmmm--
I'm going to guess that it means someone who flees from the light.
Basic grasp of Latin, anyone?
Luci- meaning light
-fuguous, meaning fleeing?
1. Avoiding light.

Word up.
Wow words with Latin roots are so hard to define.
Anyway what follows after this is a ton of dumb boring shit no one cares about so I'm off.
