Home Again, Home Again (QOTD #27)

I came home last night. It is good to be back. I have an exam on the 19th (which sucks) but other than that, I'm done! I can't believe the first term is over! Only 7 more to go :$  I put up our Christmas tree today (all by myself, might I add). I'm going to decorate it tomorrow. My hands are all scratched up from spreading apart all of the branches of the tree. I feel like my family has so many Christmas decorations that never get used. I guess it's because it's all kind of a mis-mash of different things we've collected over the years. We really should just get rid of some stuff. But it's good to be back regardless.

27. Would you be able to date someone who doesn't make you laugh?
I guess if I didn't know that fact about them, I would date them. But then once I found out that I didn't find them funny, it would be hard to keep dating them. I definitely wouldn't marry someone who couldn't make me laugh.

QOTD #26

26. Is your current hair colour your natural hair colour?
Yep! There's only one time when it wasn't, and even then it was only a highlight. In grade 9 there was a fundraiser where everything was blue, so they were dying people's hair blue. But since I have dark hair, they had to bleach it first. So I had a blue strand for a couple days, but then I had a bleached strand for a while. And when I say a while, I mean I just let it grow out. It wasn't perfectly bleached though, they didn't leave it in long enough. It was more of a light brown. I actually really liked having it.

QOTD #25

25. What would you say if the person you like/love kissed another girl/boy?
Well, I don't like like anybody right now, and I'm assuming when they say love they don't mean family.  But if I did like someone and they kissed someone else, I guess I would be jealous. If I was going out with the person, then I would be mad at them and probably consider breaking up with them.

I'd love to go on vacation to...
China (it's on my bucket list to walk along the Great Wall of China). But I would also love to go back to England and visit all the Doctor Who and Sherlock related things.

Aeropostale

Last weekend Aeropostale was having a 50% off sale so I decided to look at their website. There were some things I was interested in getting. If you spent $75, then you got free shipping. So I added some of those little thing that you don't really want, but you get anyways just to get yourself the free shipping. I go to put my order through and what appears but A $25 INTERNATIONAL HANDLING FEE. I couldn't believe it. I gave up on the order because it was all just so stupid. Free shipping means free shipping as in no additional money required. Then my parents were in an Aeropostale store and were able to get one of the things I had wanted. Unfortunately, the thing I wanted the most wasn't at the store. Yesterday I told myself that if I wanted to get people presents, I'm going to have to stop spending money on myself, because I've been spending money like there's no tomorrow recently. But when I went to church this morning and was walking through the mall, there it was. The thing I wanted, a neon coloured infinity scarf, hanging there, just waiting for me. And when I had been looking at it online, it was 50% off, but it was 60% off in the store, so that made it even harder to resist. So despite the fact that I don't have a lot of money and I told myself I wasn't buying anything else and everybody's gift budget just went down a smudge, I bought the scarf :)

QOTD #24

24. What do you want right this second?
Um, not to have to study? Have my exams behind me? It to be Christmas Eve? I want multiple things, hardly any of which are worthy of me actually having.

My perfect day would be...
Ideally, spent with my husband (or husband to be), neither of us have to go to work, reading, swinging in a hammock after a nice walk through a forest. I dunno, who actually thinks about these things?!

Christmas Shoes

It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
I'm really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held
A pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus, tonight.

They counted pennies for what seem like years
And cashier says son there's not enough here
He searches is pockets franticly 
And he turned and he looked at me
And he said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I layed the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Mamma's gonna look so great.

Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful,
If Momma meets Jesus tonight.

I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love as he thanked me and ran out. 
I know that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Mamma meets Jesus tonight

I want her to look beautiful
If Mamma meets Jesus tonight

Sherlock

So season 3 of Sherlock finally has a (British) air date:

(We already knew it was airing in the USA on Jan 19th). Last week it was announced that it would be sometime in December or January (no sh*t Sherlock [I'm so puny]). And then people were thinking that it would be the 22nd of Dec or the 29th. But BBC released today the air dates of all three episodes (read with sarcasm and pain), with more theatricality than Sherlock himself:

They drove a hearse around London all morning with the air date and his name in flowers.
Personally I think it was a little out of character for BBC, but I loved it all the same. BBC had been tweeting the previous evening to be on the look out for a special vehicle. People were lining the streets to see it and take pictures with it. Talk about a reveal.

The weird part though is that Jan 1st is a Wednesday, when it usually airs on Sundays. It will, however resume that course, with the air dates being Jan 1st, 5th and 12th. So we get to see the episodes sooner, but that also means that it will be over quicker :(
