happy christmasCategory: potpourri
Happy Christmas everyone! I hope you had a lovely time which ever way you spent it. Some of you may have received little gifts from me. My dad graciously played santa and made a few deliveries on my behalf. Much cheaper to send one package and buy my dad some gas than individual mailings.
Carey will be delivering my secret santa gift to the new year party. SO, dear secret santa - you can just give my gift to her at the party and she will give it to my parents who will send it along my way :)

Is that who delivered? I actually wondered if you were in town (or country) because there were no postage markings on the packages!!
Thanks (e:Ladycroft) for the lovely gifts... and (e:MrLadycroftSr) for delivering!!

I agree with mike. How awesome is it that she is doing the gift exchange all the way from Qatar (expression of saying not a real question to be answered). That being said I think it is pretty kick ass.

little chefCategory: potpourri
I have a mouse in my house. I found it quite ironic that I had just finished watching "Ratatouille" when I discovered him. I now call him Little Chef, though I doubt he'll start cooking for me. I have to go shower now and head for bed. Nighty-night.

here she isCategory: transportation
My new car. The first car I've ever owned in the same decade it was made. In fact, it's still in the same year it was made! If you've known me in the last 15 years, you know I've kind of always driven a pile of shit held together with duct tape, bungee cords and bolts in wrong places. It feels grotesquely grown up to own such a new vehicle, but it was rather necessary in this place.

Very nice. I do wonder if you decide to keep it at the end of your posting there, how tough is it to arrange for it to follow you.
I think I want something like that for my next ride though

pleasure to meet youCategory: potpourri
I made a friend tonight. A real honest to God we can hang out and have fun kind of friend. A friend NOT affiliated in any way with work. It has been such a struggle to meet people because there aren't any social venues for doing so. Finally I got my foot in the door and met a normal, down to earth guy. Where you meet one you begin to meet others. Eventually I will have a circuit of friends outside of my co-workers and that is something I really need right now. It makes me very happy.
metalpeter - 12/10/07 17:20
Ah cool. Yeah I sort of assumed that you had a couple all ready from outside of school, I guess I was wrong but now I will be correct very soon. Hopefully that circle grows at a good pace.

Happy to hear it!
Like (e:James) (really, (e:James)? That surprises me, you don't seem the shy sort), i find it very difficult to make friends in new places. Yes, one can meet people, but making friends is that last step i have never been very good at.
You, on the other hand, have always seemed to make friends easily... so i thought you already had the (e:Ladycroft) fan club overseas chapter in full swing.
You're a good egg, and i hope the friendship you just made blossoms into a whole network of solid, lifelong friendships! :)

yay! that's awesome. And you're totally right- once you meet that first person, the rest just sort of falls into place. I'm happy for you.

congrats. Every time I moved to a strange, new city I found it very difficult to meet people. I can't imagine what that is like in your situation.
Enjoy.

Mike and I loved Death at a Funeral. His parents liked it too. I want to see it again. Um, I miss you!
I Hope/wish that whoever you are with and where ever that is on New Years Eve that you have a good time. I was going to say that I wish your 2008 is better then 2007 was. With most people that had a good year that is often unrealistic and if that where to happen every year then life would hit a peak about say 40 and they might as well pack it in cause life would be over. My point is that I hope 2008 is a great year for you it sounds like 2007 was. If 2008 can be better then 2007 then that is a bonus and I would say the goal is to be better then 2007 and for you I hope it is. I also hope that nothing bad happens for you also and that 2008 is great for you. On a side note I can't believe someone said you weren't worth knowing. I can understand that people can sometimes not get along and have problems and say hurtful things and get really personal and nasty and cross lines that shouldn't be crossed be that is just to mean and nasty. I do like that you don't do resolutions, I don't do them either I'm guessing for different reasons. That being said I'm kinda doing two but I'm keeping them to my self since I won't stick to them anyways.
I wanted to say a couple things about music. I think KT Tunstall is a hottie or at least I did. That "Black Parade" CD is pretty good. I admit I only listened to it once but I do that with most of my CDs.
I had some other comment I was going to say but lost it somewhere. It was something about how at the last party I was talking to (e:Jason) (yes jason showed up for the pot luck) and I was telling him about how awesome you where at the Halloween Party at your house (yes over a year ago) [yeah old story] but I hadn't seen him in a long time. Hope 2008 is great and that you start it off with a good time.
