Good news and a "small" update/rant.

[vanilla_pocky]

I should really (even though I say this in almost every entry) update more. I miss using this thing and having who the hell knows read about my life. Speaking of "who the hell knows", I'm thinking about making my journal private. I guess I'm just feeling weird about having all this stuff out in the open even though I know a bunch of randos

I'm half asleep so I'm gonna sound like a jerkface but I know the traditions of Christmas are rooted in pagan events so long ago. Butttt .. it's still well, Christmas. It's a complicated matter I guess. :) I'm not even Christian and I don't attend church, even on Christmas anymore, but I was once so I still hold a fondness for the Christ part of the word Christmas. And materialistic? It happens. Everyone's pretty materialistic about everything every day of the year, just moreso around Christmas. I'm happy with the small amount of gifts I got this year. I'm kinda tired of hearing about how materialistic everything is. Oh well. I'm materialistic to the core and although I sometimes hate it, it doesn't mean I value the relationships and people in my life any less. I feel lucky I have a roof over my head, clothes to wear and food to eat. I'm also lucky I have three shelves full of manga

First of all, yesss you know me from Eika! I'm Chi if you don't remember and I remember you as several nicknames O.o I have you on Myspace though and I leave ya comments every once in a while.

Second of all, about the whole Christmas stuff... That's exactly what I was saying *in a way* about it being traditional to do all of this stuff on Christmas but in my opinion some people get so obsessed with those things and they're not happy to just be alive. But yeah of course, everyone is materialistic. It's just aggravating to me when people don't appreciate the little things in life. Also, my rantage about materialism wasn't meant to offend anyone, of course. I'm just naturally a scrooge. Holidays aren't my thing.

Anddd... I didn't really have any intentions of taking you off my friends list since we still talk.. sometimes. XD. Hope you're mood/day gets better!

I have trouble connecting Eika people to their real names anymore, lol. I try to revisit once in awhile to check in but no one ever really goes anymore, lol. I discussed this rant with my mom afterward and kinda closed my thoughts on it. Holidays are my thing, but I'm a cancer and memories and tradition and family mean alot to my zodiac sign. So I have trouble understanding it any other way? I do understand a certain dislike of holidays, my Christmases have been very poor due to other people for a few years. This one wasn't amazing but it didn't suck as much. (Last Christmas eve I was crying in my living room thanks some insensitive comments by now ex-girlfriend.)

I am sorry I kinda took out my feelings about the situation on you, you didn't really deserve it. lol. I really am just kinda sick of hearing how Christmas is only materialistic anymore. It's not. :/ Maybe to some of the general population .. but *shrugs* not to everyone. My mum said Christmas is what you make it. So who gives a shit what everyone else is doing, right

[vanilla_pocky]

Yeah I know what you mean. That's a good way to put it though.. I mean Christmas being what you make it. But it's okie. No problem. How have you been lately anyway?
