i know, i haven't been on here on gaia lately because i've been addicted to my account on deviantart. but i decided to finally come back here just to make a little visit. i might not come on here as often anymore though, but i'll make sure i check in every so often.
the holidays were ok, they weren't the best ever, but it was nice to stay home. i skiied for the first time this year instead of having to wait til march like our family usually does. i get to see a whole bucn of family, where we went skiing since they lived nearby, then when we went out to eat for brunch at perkins, then we went to visit some more family (and i finally got to play guitar hero again after a very long absence!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!) and had to wistness some...dog dominating events, let's just call it, and got to eat a bunch of food when i didn't really need to, and then i went to church and got some totally awesome presents! and also got to read some awesome christmas stories online, there was one written by the same dude who wrote the wizards of oz, and it was where santa got kidnapped by daemons (i think they're supposed to be like "demons" wink who were jealous that santa was getting all the attention, and then instead of living in the north pole he lived in this place called laughing valley and instead of elves that made the toys he had faeries, pixies, and two other kinds of faeries i forgot what they were called, that helped him. he still had th flying reindeer though. and now hans christian anderson is now one of my favorite authors cuz he wrote some great short stories, and the plots may seem really cheesy, for example, one story was about a tree, but once you get to know the characters you're hooked. so it was pretty sad when the tree got all chopped up at the end (yes, i know, i'm already spoiling the plot). so yeah, christmas was pretty laid back this year usually our family goes to north dakota but most of my family was too stubborn to go this year cuz we already traveled twice to distant places this year, and yes it does get tiring, but the drives are worth it. oh well, i guess it was time for something different.
we as a family, since my cousins from arkansas came into state, might go skiing at afton next week, but that is still undecided.
hope everyone had a nice christmas, and even if you didn't don't go all boo-hoo about it, cuz christmas was the day peace was made and is a a time for joy. and we must always be like that not on christmas, but for the entire year! merry christmas!
until next time...
