One of our little "traditions" Gabriel invented when he was little.

The year he was three I only had about five or six decorations for the tree plus one measly string of lights. On Christmas eve I tied bows all over the tree and hung it with candy canes, after he was in bed, to make it as pretty as possible.

In the morning he exclaimed "Santa Brought Candy Canes for the tree!!!"

The next year on christmas eve, as he was being put to bed, he told me santa was going to put candy canes all over the tree for Christmas. (really, I hadn't put them out yet because I didn't want him to sneak and eat them all)

Hence, Santa covering the tree with candy canes for the children to wake up to Christmas morning was born as a tradition in our home, and all the younger kids think it is just one of the things that Santa does and has always done.

Amber:Gonna borrow that candy cane idea, for next year. Brilliant!

Irina:When the walls close in, you can't move, you have literal tunnel vision, and it looks like you are seeing things in front of you from another universe. That's the k-hole. Loss of control is a bitch. No thanks. I'm with Amy. I'm old and grumpy and I want my oatmeal!!

my friend romy came from hamburg yesterday and spent the night at our place. she had to leave super early again but we still had time for a nice breakfast together. we had quite some laughs and as we don´t see each other very often just fell in love with each other allover again. i know we could not meet up in ten years and still connect immediately when we finally would. i like that.

God, I love friendships like that. It's so rare, but so great.

My Hooray: It's my day off tomorrow. I'm going to have a sleep in with Lucy, and then I'll take her to work so I can get some stuff done and maybe even have a rest.

I sleep weird.

I stay up till two or three one night then wake up at three two nights later.

Polyphasic, Biphasic, Multiphasic. I run the gambit.

I only really worry when I don't sleep at all or even worse when all i do is sleep.

Last night I went to bed at 10.30 because I'd had a headache since 11 am and I wasn't able to read or do anything. Today I'm feeling so well.

This morning the cats are like, "Okay I've licked your head now you lick my head." "Okay. now it's your turn to lick my head again." It's nice.

Haha my cats do that too. But it's usually the old one coming to the young, posting herself in front of her, waiting. And the little one gets the hint.

Haha, awww I love it! My little one is always lowering his head and shuffling towards my older cat, lately the little one licks Henry's head too and Henry looks so happy. It's nice seeing them get along, they were horrible to each other yesterday.

I think, in the cat community, to call one a "head-licker" is an insult, like "momma's boy" or "bitch". Because my rebel cat calls the others "headlickers" and I know she means it rudely.

And mum gave me her sample of Hypnotic Poison by Dior, which I absolutely love. Definitely a perfume for winter.

I'm pretty sure my mom got me a tablet for Christmas like I asked. I didn't actually have anything that I wanted/asked for, and last night she told me that she had sent two boxes, one with food, and one very valuable one... so I HOPE!

Aw that restaurant that always puts stuff I'm allergic to on my plate has given us a voucher for a free meal because my boyfriend wrote and complained. That's quite good innit. Not in a massive hurry to eat there again but will take advantage of that some time soon!

The head professor of our MA programme promised us to talk to the other professors and cancel classes next week. This means tomorrow might be my last day of school this year, and I can't be happier. I thought I'd hate the holiday, especially a 3-week one, but now I realise this is maybe what I need most.

Second hooray: my Sailor Moon t-shirt is at the post office, I have to pick it up tomorrow.

I wanted to stop by the supermarket on the way home to get nachos. Then I decided I was mildly tipsy and would've bought the whole store (I've just got my Christmas money), so I went home. Too bad dinner was much too salty and I just had a bite and decided I can't do it.

And the conformist cats STILL lick her head after she talks to them like that? Pussies.

A few weeks ago, had some sex, condom ripped, subsequently followed by a few weeks of freakin' out, over which I had finals, final projects, and some other personal responsibilities. Today, I found out I have two Bs in my classes so far, and that this girl just got her period. Thank you, sweet jebus!

I'm not sure about what I've learned from this.

It seems like a straight forward lesson in responsibility. Accidents happen, but resolving them is our responsibility. You did well, with the B's and checking back in with the girl.

Condoms are great and terrible at the same time. Pregnancy scares are terrible.

I'm not sure about what I've learned from this.

Back when I was in 10th grade and going to catechism class or whatever to do my confirmation into the Card-Carrying-Catholic-Club, I remember a 12th grade football player was in my class. He was dick. It was amazing, his entire body was 100% penis. After every class, we'd get in a circle and pray and he's always ask god to make the football team win. They very rarely did though because penises don't have very good motor skills.

Anyway, anther time, he prayed that the girl he had sex with the week before would please, please, please not get pregnant (the teacher allowed all this because I went to a rather ghetto church and he was trying to be cool, I think). A few weeks later he informed us that while having lunch at McDonald's, he'd gotten some ketchup on his shirt and felt it was a sign from god and immediately felt relief. He claimed that not 5 minutes later, the girl called to tell him she got her period.

I'm not sure what I learned from that either.

Life can be hard for a dick sometimes.

I never got confirmed. It sounds wonderful.
