I'm not dead! :D Only busy. Christmas was wonderful, and I had to play with my new stuff. ^_^ It's nice to "officially" have Jayne. Had some issues with him, but he seems to be doing better now. My family got me way too much for Christmas. :( I'm not going to complain too much, but I feel bad I wasn't able to give them better presents.
Next year, I hope to have a jobbidy job. So hopefully, that'll change.
Ended up waking up everyone at 6 again, though. XD

Be a roadie? YOU KNOWZ IT!
Someday, that dream may come true. But for now, I'm content shredding in my room.
OK. Playing a guitar in my room. I'm not quite a shredder...it's a mystery as to why not. I have the abilities, and yet I have trouble playing solos. I need to level my skillz up. XD
Today was busy. ^_^ Cleaned house. My parents payed me $20 bucks to do a list they had written...but I would have done it even if they hadn't payed me.
It was cool. I sang as a I cleaned, as I was home by myself (I refuse to submit anyone else to the punishment that is my voice--but I do enjoy singing). It was probably one of the greatest Christmas memories I have this year. Singing along with Casting Crowns "Peace on Earth". I tried to sing along with Roger Whittaker...but that guy has serious vocal talent.
My point? The simple things in life can be the best. Singing a song for my creator, no matter how bad I sound, was inspiring.
Though my terrible voice leads me to believe I'm destined for METAL. \m/. >_< .\m/

Then rang the bells more loud and deep...
God is not dead nor doth he sleep!
Probably one of the most powerful verses in any song I've heard, I think. From "I heard the bells on Christmas day", which is pretty awesome.
Christmas is only a week away. And oddly, I've not finished my shopping. Not bragging, but normally I've got it finished within 10 days of the start of December. I think it's the schedule change. For the last...8 years or so, I've had a night side schedule. Up late, sleep late. For the last several years, I've started to think my life would be better if I got up earlier...I'm not sure now. Aside from the fact that I've got around 15 presents to wrap (I wrap all the ones my parents buy too [not including mine XD] ) and my Dad may not get his gift until after Christmas, I'm also fighting much more with my Mom. Not that we didna argue before...Meh.
At any rate, I've got to get a job after Christmas. Personal decision, as well as being tired of the "You're wasting your life" rail that I get increasingly frequently.
College may be in the future, too. But who knows? My life now is nothing what I assumed life would be like back at 16. I was supposed to have long hair, be super buff, have a girlfriend, sidekick, superpowers, and 24/7 access to various food stuffs from McDonalds.
Mmm...I've got the hair, at least.
Merry Christmas to all...The King has returned in the form of a babe, returned to die for his subjects.

Reading by the light of a lost Christmas day.
And the time, and the years, and the tears and the cost. And the hopes and the dreams of each child that is lost, and the whisper and the whisper of things, in the cold winter air, as the snow it drifts down, and the visions appear everywhere.
\m/.
Not much to tell. Only 11 days until Christmas. Get hyped. Well, Jayne isn't eating, but I'm 90% sure it's because he's about to go into a shed and I'm to dopey to tell. I switched from my awesome blue light back to soft white bulb...bleck. I miss it. However, I can clearly see Jayne now. So now I won't try to feed him when he won't eat. :D
Most of my shopping is done. Or will be tomorrow. The rest won't be until after the 18th when I have some more money. I did wrap presents tonight though. My Mom and Dad usually get me to wrap all of them (except mine). And that's cool. I love wrapping gifts.
Pale as I am, I'm definitely a wrappa. XD

Christmas babies.
Yep. Our neighbor abandoned one of their dogs when they moved a few weeks ago. The dog was pregnant because of them, and then they left her.
Nice. So we, or mostly my Mom, took her in. Malnourished and very pregnant.
At any rate, she had her pups yesterday. One was born dead, but the other five are healthy and squeaky. She's turning out to be a good mom, and is eating much better now. God really has blessed. And we're all very thankful.
Not only that, but Christmas is only 12 days away. I forget if we get Lords a leaping or ladies dancing, but either way our house will be packed. :D
Why would you get someone a partridge in a pear tree anyway? That's worse than a gift card to a place they don't shop at.

Always winter, but never Christmas.
Honestly, that's fine. I love the cold.
I'm not in a particularly good mood today. Another of my fish is sick. Again, inexplicably. I've checked a book, a forum, and no one can answer. I've followed the suggestions, and yet it's not helping--I can't do a thing for the fish. And it's not like I can take it to a vet either. Bah. I can only pray.
Also, a bunch of other stuff I ain't putting up here. Suffice it to say, the cheeseburger is tired of being looked up to, and the fry cook is tired of cooking.
Bah. Humbug. And pill bug. And several other types of insects.

Christmas has vomited
All over my blog. XD It had to happen sometime though.
Jayne is pretty much amazing. He still hasn't bitten me yet, and is as nice as can be. It's a huge blessing. I was/am completely willing to deal with a nippy snake, but I enjoy not fearing for my finger tip when I reach into his cage.
Tomorrow is going to be the first time I fee him though. We'll see how that goes.
In other news, I've had a complete schedule flip. Mostly. I used to be a nightsider, but with medication I was on for lung issues, combined with exhaustion, my schedule has kinda flipped to a normal one. It's odd falling asleep when the sun is still down, and waking up before other people. But I kind of like it.
Later.

Is it hot in here or is it just my pants exploding?
Since this post involves a snake, I really wanted to reference Metal Gear Solid. But I've not played them enough to do so.
Hmm...well, I ended up getting my Christmas present early this year. A beautiful bouncing baby boy. A slithering baby boy snake, that is. His name is Jayne, and he's a candy cane corn, as pretty as can be.
I had never touched a snake before holding him, so I was surprised at how smooth he was. Far, far smother than silk. The only thing I've touched that may be softer is those Kleenex with lotion. Love those.
He's quite good at scaring the pants off me though. I woke up yesterday to find him stuck on some tape inside his enclosure (holding down a sensor cord). This woke me up in a hurry, and scared the pants off me. Later, I couldn't find him in his enclosure, and discovered he had buried himself under the newspaper on the cold end. :D
He can pull some pretty amazing feats though. Defying gravity is one of them. He somehow climbs cords and cables for fun. Interesting.
I think once I get past the new pet syndrome, it'll be all good. ^_^
