Home

It's been almost a week since I came back home for Christmas, and I think I've been overall less stressed... than I thought I would be. With all of the extra time I have, I've been playing a lot of Kingdom Hearts II (although I admit that I was playing a lot of that game during finals week, as well) and hefty amounts of Pokémon. My mom accuses me of spending all of my time on the computer, but this is only a half-truth. I merely spend most of my time in front of the computer. And it tends to be on during that time, but it's hardly ever the center of it attention like my PS2 or DS.

I realize some very important facts about the being home as well. For instance, my bed is hopelessly uncomfortable. I have no understanding as to why this is so, but the fact remains. I have a foam cushion, and a second cushion on top of my mattress, and it does no good whatsoever. My bed, in fact, is like a black hole, in its ability to suck the comfy properties out of nearly anything you might find to throw on it. I've sometimes considered just sleeping on the floor. Of course, that's cluttered with stuff from college, and so it's out of the running (or rather, laying). Another important discovery is that my house doesn't warm up very well. My hands seem unreasonably cold more often than not, and if I didn't have socks I'm sure that my feet might have fallen off by now.

I'm incredibly glad that I have my own computer. I wouldn't dare try to interface with the family machine outside of my room. This has nothing to do with Mac snobbery; our computer has managed to get itself into a worse condition than many of Doabe's laptops. I attribute this to the outdated processor, the seven anti-spyware programs, the five anti-virus programs, the three weekly system restores, and a partridge in a pear tree.

My room is incredibly green. I've know this for some time now, but it's disturbing to me nonetheless. I have also noticed that ever since the repainting of the bathroom, I've had much fewer suicidal thoughts while brushing my teeth and showering.

Tomorrow, I take on the task of wrapping five Christmas presents. There will likely be a vlog about this, because it is comedic gold. Maybe I'll find some of that British chase sequence music and do the whole scene in fast-forward... Yeah.
