The One With the Merry Christmas!

Ho, Ho, Ho, everyone! I hope that you all had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wow, it's such a relief to be sitting here typing a post out there to all of you. I tell you, I get very frustrated when I don't have time to post. At least two or three times a day, soemthing pops up (a funny story, a rude barrista at Starbucks, neighborhood dogs using Ashton Kutcher's head as a chew toy *WHOA! PREVIOUS POST FLASHBACK!*) that I think, "Oh! I have GOT to write about this on the blog.

Alas, I never have the time to follow through! And to make things worse, AudBlog shut down a few months ago! HOW SAD! OH THE PAIN! The ETERNAL anguish!

For you, I mean. Not being able to hear my wonderful voice whenever you feel like it. We'll see how long the ones I have already recorded stay on the server.

Anyway, how do I get so off-track so easily? I was wishing you a very Merry Christmas! And in honor of that (and because I uploaded them last week, but never got to put them in the player), I added four new songs to the music player today! Yes, I realize it will be after Christmas when you ge to hear them.

What's your point?

Included is this year's "Jay's Favorite Christmas Song" selection, "The Song of Christmas" by NewSong. It's is TERRIFIC! SOOOOO gonna have to find a place to sing that some day. I also put on "The Bells of Christmas" which is one of my ALL TIME favorites! And 20 cool points goes to the person who can correctly name the movie it came from (preposition at the end of the sentence. Don't care.) NO CHEATING!

Anyway again, I am looking forward to some fun time before school starts again! In two weeks, I start my last year of school EVER!! WOO HOO!!!!! All of my classes are in one building, which will be nice. AND it's my favorite building. It's a stone building with a completely hardwood interior. In the middle of the foyer there are spiralling staircases that go all the way up to the top of the fourth story. I totally feel like Harry Potter when I am sitting in there.

That's not what I was talking about. Okay, can you tell that the television is on in the background? This is much more sporadic than normal, I know. I am SO going to read a book a day! Well, maybe a book every few days.

Oh, this is the stupidest post ever, I am going to let it go. MERRY CHRISTMAS again! To the top of the roof, to the top of the wall, now DASH away DASH AWAY, DASH AWAY ALL!

The One With More Bad News

Sorry, guys. It seems that the power box on my computer has gone out, so I cannot update like I wanted. AND until I get it replaced, no Christmas template. Sorry! I'm working on it, I promise!
