Long Overdue Update

I am doing a horrible job with this xanga...this must be emotionally abusive to my xanga. Wah!

Winter break 2007 started off kind of slow but now it's picking up pace [even though I still really miss a certain poohead]! yay!!! I hope everyone has had a fantastic Christmas and I still have a handful of presents I have to give away...which is killing me because I'm one of those people who like giving away presents as soon as they're ready, even if they're ridiculously ahead of schedule~

I LOVED all of my presents this year. Most pleasantly surprising gift: a box of gift pears. I am usually very anti-pears because they're always hard and sour and nasty, but these pears must have been genetically engineered to be soft, sweet, and core-less. So basically I ate 4 large lumps of soft sugary fiber...*drool* This experience opened a new window to the fruit kingdom muahahaa :)

No year is complete without one of these surveys now. hehe~

In my efforts to avoid work until that critical point between gross procrastination and panic, I've decided to whore myself on xanga layouts, trying to find a new look that may pull the chances of me updating this xanga again from 5% to 5.5%.

This layout is kind of obnoxious, but I needed some intense color stimulant to revive my faded passion for xanga. I'll probably get rid of it in <5 days. I wish I had Photoshop like everyone else who's caught up with the 21st century so I can make my own background...but alas, I'm still rollin' with my ghettofabulous Microsoft Paint that can only draw circles and rectangles with different thicknesses... Oh my gosh, who's crying from this tragic tale already? yes...please pity me and send me a bootleg copy of photoshop.

You will get an extravagant picture of many circles and rectangles of different sizes in return...

^__________^

Ok anyway, I'm at a point where a slack in updating resulted in a huge collection of events that I've yet to share. I don't know where to begin...I'll do them in increments, I guess. Like a "Snapple Fact of the Day" or something.

So, for today:

My goldfish whom I have not named yet has officially been alive for almost a month under my watch. However, he is either dying or suffering from mental retardation because he is always flopping one fin while lazily slanting to his side, eyes spacing out and mouth opening spasmodically to take in uneven breathes (sometimes his own poo if he swims into a pile). He's so vibrantly red...too pretty for his own good. Pretty things are too fragile, which is unfortunate when I'm the one who's taking care of them. >.< why was I so greedy when I picked him? I should have gone for the ugly gray ones that look more like tadpoles than goldfish...they'd probably survive the hollocaust. Good luck to my fish! I spent $2.00 on his "interior decorating" so I hope he'll get to enjoy that for at least another week or so...
