I had to go out this evening and do some shopping since tomorrow is my father's birthday. And, since I was already out shopping for that, I went ahead and did some Christmas shopping too. I would really like to make this though the last holiday I am forced to celebrate, or, that this will be the last holiday I will spend money for gifts on. I'm tired of spending money to support companies or philosphies I don't agree with or to do these things out of obligation and tradition that I do not wish to subscribe to. Everyone better start being nice to me know, because that means that I would have to make any gifts I would wish to give, and with how slow I move..

I've almost managed to weather another week. Congrats, congrats. Certainly I am the fortunate one...
