This will probably be my last blog before christmas, look, i’ve even made it snow on for the festive period, although you can’t see it very well on my mainly white page. i’m going to get around to customising my page on of these days, even just having a decent picture at the top would be good.

I used to love christmas, but obviously as you get older, you stop loving it as much. but this year i am looking forward to it more than i have since i was about 12. nearly 2 weeks off to just chill out, play computer games and get drunk with old friends. it’s going to be lots of fun. i don’t have enough holiday days to just use them chilling out.

Thinking about old christmasses is great, i’ve had so many good ones down the years. one of my earliest memories is a christmas when i must have been about 4, i got the ghostbusters car and a couple of the people. i’m not sure if it’s an actual memory, or if it’s  just because my parent’s have a photo of that christmas up in our house. i loved that fucking car. i got the fire station a few years later, but was never allowed the slimer slime because it would make a mess.
Another great year was when i was about 9, i got the le mans scaletrix track. my dad had set it up in the living room in the night when we were asleep. then me, my dad and my sister played it the whole day. it’s such a great game, i might try and buy some now, we could have a bad ass rally course in our living room, and it’s probably cheap.

A more recent good christmas memory is from lower sixth. at our school/sixth form, the lower sixth did a pantomime for the rest of the school each christmas. ours was brilliant. me and two of my mates were dressed as the las ketchup girls and did the dance to that song. then me and some other mates played it’s christmas by slade at the end. i borrowed a friends bass, it was hilarious. i only knew the start and then pretended the rest. i don’t remember the story at all though, and don’t know why i was dressed as a las ketchup girl, i think mario and luigi were involved as well. very seasonal.

I really can’t wait for wednesday though, i’ve decided i’m taking my tv, computer, video player and xbox back. i’m just going to watch old films and play football manager/all the games of the last year that i haven’t started/finished. i plan on watching the star wars trilogy on the day before christmas eve, and then home alone 1+2 and probably elf on christmas eve. oh, and santa claus: the movie, probably my favourite christmas film, we always used to watch it when we were little, obviously it’s aged quite badly though.

it’s just started snowing here, it’d be great if it’s a white christmas, but i doubt it will be. i hope i can get home alright today/tonight though, it’s going to be a good day if i can wake up a bit. knocking off early to start our christmas “party”, hopefully at lunch time. this “party” consitutes going for a curry and then a pub crawl, so a lot better than a normal work party. the only downside is that i’ve got to leave early, because it’s one of the gigs of the year tonight with…

Duh duh duh duh duh duh D                                             4

It’s going to be amazing, it’s at the brudenell as well, which should be a lot better than seeing them at the massive venue at the fest. there’s a downside to this as well, i completely forgot that i left my ticket at my parent’s house, and only got my mom to post it up on tuesday, which was the busiest day of the year for the post. hopefully it will have got here today though, otherwise i’ll be fucked.

The snow’s stopped now, that’s a let down.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night.
