Merry Christmas!!

I spent all of yesterday (Christmas Eve) making gift tags for christmas gifts for my mom's friends, which was not too bad, cause I discovered this totally new pansy I-pick-wildflowers-and-press-them-in-heavy-books-and-cross-stitch-artistically side of me that is totally revolting but I figure if I fail at life (read: IB) I can always like. Make gift tags. Wrap presents. Be the next Martha Stewart. The possibilities are endless.

Sidenote: I always laugh out loud when I watch Martha on TV because I start thinking of her sneaking around on tiptoes (with the pink panther song) shoplifting a bottle of perfume... so weird.

Also I went out today and ,in the spirit of giving, gifted myself a pair of shoes. And my god how fucking ugly they were. I rarely cuss on (virtual) print so that should give you some sort of idea. I was so mortified by these horrendous monstrosities and also by how cheap they were (70% off, and for good reason too) that I had to get them. They're not even ugly in a I'm-trying-to-be-ironic, ugly-pretty way. THEY'RE JUST UGLY.

Oh wait I shall just insert Photo of Fug here:

Plus point: they were dirt cheap. Minus point: My mom now thinks I'm either psycho or her great-grandmother reincarnated. I'm deciding between wearing them to church or for halloween, whichever gets me exorcised first.

Also, did anybody read Urban today? They had some ridiculous article called Killer Fashion about how wearing stuff like extreme high heels and in this section "chunky accessories" they tell you "Tearing of ear lobes: Earrings that pull at your lobes can cause tears. Even small rips can cause infections. How to wear them safely: If there is bleeding, pain, or discharge, see a doctor before you wear the accessories again."

Like.

WTF.

I mean, if I had a pair of huge earrings that caused my ear lobes to bleed and split into two and turn infected and gangrenous and drop off I would THROW THE DAMN EARRINGS AWAY AND SEEK HELP RIGHT not see a doctor before I WEAR THEM AGAIN!! EWW!!!!  

Which is probably why I have never pierced my ears and will never ever do so. Paranoia. It gets me every time.

Ugh anyway I hate how I always intend to have my xanga posts be like one of those short and cute little "wishing you a merry christmas" posts but end up rambling and complaining about completely insignificant things like nobody's buisness. And then I ramble some more about my rambling. ANYWAY merry christmas and a happy new year!! There's probably enough candidity in this xanga post to last me till 2010. See you then!
