on christmas & smoking

I think that one of the reasons smoking is so hard to give up is because its such a social thing, and an excuse to go outside, or get out of a situation or be one on one with someone.

You can always convince a smoker to stay for one last cigarette, it would just be weird if a non smoker was like "maybe you should have a smoke before you leave" its just a few more minutes you can spend with whoever. Maybe the whole situation with Tim is so hard on me that I'm forced to smoke with a chest infection to spend a few more minutes with him. Gah. I'm so pathetic, I do not know what the hell my deal is with him.

I wish there was a different activity that you can have an excuse to do whatever for. "hey I'm taking five minutes off work to go.. downstairs in the sun and... play naughts and crosses in the dirt". it doesn't work.

Today is christmas, I got an odd assortment of things:
  • a rechargeable battery set
  • an air brush gun:)
  • a necklace that has a thong on it
  • a leopard print umbrella
  • a wooden apple
  • a wooden pear
  • sign that says "love"
  • a tentacle :)
  • a cocktail glass
  • a candle
  • a box of chocolate
  • underwear
  • a nail kit (my brother apologized for this one, he got done by those people that grab you as you walk past their stand in the shopping center. They are really hard to get away from, he brought it to shut her up)
  • stickers to make your desk items look like cartoons
  • a book about idiots
One year my at the time slightly senile Grandma gave me some second hand display cushions, I was like 10 at the time and very disappointed.

I love Christmas.


I've only got a few days left to carefully consider my new years resolutions.
