so the year is ending a bit on a sad note. my grandfather’s funeral is scheduled for monday. i spent my giftmas pretty down and thinking a lot about dad and how things used to be and all this other stuff that obviously made me feel like crap. it snowed for giftmas day, i’m just going to pretend that’s a gift. because i love snow, but i rarely see it here.

i did end up taking home plenty of videogames for giftmas this year. my mother bought me the sims 3 late night expansion pack, i bought myself several games on steam, including burnout paradise and a lego indiana jones game. 3 of my online friends gifted me games during the big steam sale. they sent me the overlord complete series pack, amnesia (which is scary as hell, and that’s coming from some one who isn’t scared easily), and mass effect. i’ve been playing around with all these games here and there. starting to think its time to actually focus on beating something before i go buy more… but that’s probably not going to happen.

i want next year to be better. i want to get better at writing in this blog (i think i said that last year…) i want to get better at designing layers for it also! i want to work on my art again, and get better at that too. i want to figure out where the hell i’m going in life.

i hope that everyone who reads me had a good holiday, what ever you celebrate.
