above lyric from "Gutless" by Hole
Well well well, Christmas time has come and gone. This was a pretty uneventful X-mas. I didn't make any money this Christmas, but got some nifty stuff, like an MP3 player, a cool Busch Stadium commemorative book, some neato clothes, and bling. Bling is always good, especially when it's a half-karat and when the other bling is an actual topaz. I have an Italian family that loves the bling, let me tell you.
I still haven't exchanged gifts with any friends yet, so more shit will be coming.
Having car difficulties, as usual. My blower decided to go out. For those of you thinking pervertedly or having no clue as to what I'm talking about, a blower is basically the ac and heater. In layman's terms, I have no heat in my car. Getting it fixed tomorrow, hopefully. If not, I'll need a ride to trivia.
Wow, I really thought I had more to say.
That's all.

All the kids so sick of books, they like the punk and the metal band
above lyrics from "Walk Like an Egyptian" by the Bangles
Just woke up from falling asleep on the couch. Between being sick and trying to get stuff done, I've been sort of tired lately. Oh well, my bed looks comfortable. I will be there in a second.
Went online to check my grades and I did well, again. As usual.
Developmental Psychology - A
History of the English Language - B minus (linguistics class, really really hard).
Wasn't worried, expected about that. Next semester is gonna be a killer though, but it should be fun because I'm really getting into more content-based study. And I have a teacher I've had twice before that I absolutely adore. Oh well, enough talk of school for a while.
New Years 2005 will be held at a swamp down in Dagobah. Not really, but that's just another way to say Yoda's house. All details will be forthcoming in the next couple days.
I am just about done with my X-Mas shopping. Only a few more items to pick up. Nothing extravagant. If it were up to me, it would be a Very Dollar Store X-Mas for everyone. Not because they deserve it, which they don't, but because everything is so frickin' expensive. My apartment is beginning to look a lot more X-mas-sy. I put up this little door hangy thing on my door and put more ornaments on my little tree (it has ornaments on there, but I wanted more. I also wanted something to draw attention away from the pre-placed, permanent cardinal bird ornaments. I think this used to be an old person's tree). I've also recieved several X-mas cards from people, which are on display for all to see. Just gotta hang up a little ornament chain thingy that my mom gave me, and that should be just about it for Christmas fun at Andrea's.
Looking forward to doing stuff with the fam for X-Mas. I always do, usually because it's loads of fun and no one really gives me a lot of crap about anything. I really don't have a lot of crap that needs to be recieved though. I'm sure I'll get asked about school, which is no problem Work, which is no problem. I'm sure my great aunt will ask me why I don't have a boyfriend or if I'm going to church every Sunday like a good Catholic (which I'm not. I attend church services at the St. Joseph and Angel Church on Tesson Ferry every Sunday. However, I am not attending Catholic services). It's usually a riot with the Gioia side of the family. The other side is a tad more subdued. Maybe a lot of tads more subdued. The Gioia side is a raucous, loud affair. It's nuts!
I think that's it. Now for something to brighten your day. This WILL ruin a Christmas song for you, so please don't click it (actually do. It's hilarious) if you like "Carol of the Bells". That's my favorite X-Mas carol, and now, everytime I hear it, I smile because of this.
It's a Burger King Holiday (Ding! Fries are Done)
Thank you, drive through.

Give the finger to the rock-n-roll singer, as he's dancing upon your paycheck
above lyric from "Pay No Mind" by Beck.
Found this on Ross's journal, who found it on Courtney's. You can find their journals on my LiveJournal 'friends' page. I'm just too lazy to put the link up. You guys should all do this, it's pretty fun.
Open iTunes/iPod or Windows Media Player to answer the following:

Answer, no matter how embarrasing it is.
One thing I noticed was that despite how metal heavy my playlist is, the 20+ songs that came up in the shuffle were on the other end of the spectrum. How absolutely tragic.
At any rate, here you go.

Oh what the hell, this is fun. Here's 5 more for you, as a bonus.
21. "Heart of Glass" - Blondie
22. "Depths You've Fallen" - Cryptopsy
23. "Big Guns" - AC/DC
24. "Finger Paintings of the Insane" - Acid Bath
25. "Man's Best Friend" - Lords of Acid
Funny that both my first and last albums are both Zep albums. I have every Zep album on my computer, cause they're my favorite band of all time.
And now, for the news
I am no longer manager of Scarlet Whore. It was a mutual decision, not made by me, but made by the 7 people that make up my band. It's okay. I was gonna quit at the first of the year anyway. It was becoming less fun and more of a chore. I'm retired, officially, from music at 24. Time to focus on the tasks that are more pertinent than music. I'm content with being just a fan.
I'm in the throes of finals week. I'm really confident about one final, and semi-confident about another. My Developmental Psych class is no problem whatsoever. Shit, I don't even have to try on that one. It's multiple choice and easy.
The new System of a Down album is fan-fucking-tastic. Not that any of you are an uber-fan of SOAD, but I am, goddammit. They're one of the only newer metal bands that I care for lately, besides Shadows Fall and Meshuggah. I highly recommend that you add it to your collection.
Speaking of music, I'm looking for the perfect X-Mas album to put me in the Christmas spirit. The only one I own is the South Park Christmas Album. If anyone is at all familiar with Trans-Siberian Orchestra, let me know if their Christmas albums are worth my download time.
I think that's it. Wow, sorry it took me so long to write an entry. Yay, procrastination.
