Hi New Year, my name is Christy. I know that tonight at midnight you will get a big kick-off and all, but there are a few things I wanted to address first. To start it off, don't be surprised when I continue writing 2010 on all my checks and essay assignments... it happens every year. Sometimes I do a complete time warp and just go all the way back to writing 2008 on them, so you'll just have to forgive me for this ongoing problem. Secondly, let's not have a repeat of last year's celebration... I mean, chillin' on the side of the road with two blown tires is fun and all but... oh wait, it wasn't that fun. It was, however, expensive to fix. Furthermore, I have work tonight until 11 and I don't want to have to deal with car problems after all that!
Now as long as you keep those two requests in mind, I think we'll get along just fine. So have fun tonight, be responsible, and don't do anything you wouldn't want your grandmother to see. That's all I really had to say, New Year, so I guess I'll let you get ready and I'll see you in about 14.5 hours!
Sincerely, Christy Sunshine <3

Train of Thought
Have you ever tried to follow a person's train of thought? I ask this because, I find the topic very interesting. I mean, sometimes my friends seem to bring up totally random facts, but when I ask them, they depict this interesting line of thought procession. Honestly, there are no limits when it comes to what you can hold in your mind. The mind..... the place where ll your memories you have ever thought, all you have ever seen or experienced are crammed impossibly into one small space.
The reason I thought of this, is because not very long ago, I was watching the news and then about 5 seconds later, my mind had skipped down a path of logic that brought me to consider the actions of wild bears in Alaska. I could take you on this creative journey, but it takes about 50 times longer to write about it, then the 5 seconds it took me to think of it. Isn't that funny? So here goes:
1.) Watching the News. I was reading those scrolls at the bottom that tell you about all the horrible stuff happening around the world.
2.) I thought hmm, I bet in earlier times, a lot of bad stuff like this happened, but they just didn't have a good source for communicating it to everyone.
3.) This reminded me of Mark Twain. (When he was young, he used to print fake tragedies in the newspaper as a joke to mess with the people.)
4.) Well, Mark Twain immediately made me think of a steamboat.
5.) Which reminded me of the yummy restaurant on the huge boat at Downtown Disney.
6.) I ate some pretty good fish on that boat. (I don't remember what kind)
7.) Salmon is also a tasty fish.
8.) I went to a Salmon bake in Alaska where they made really yummy Salmon.
9.) There are a lot of bears in Alaska that also like Salmon.
10.) I wonder what bears do all day?
BAM! Train of Thought. Isn't it interesting how a bunch of my random facts and experiences interested with that once thought I had while watching the news, and brought me to this finish?
If I may offer a suggestion, the next time somebody brings up something that you would consider "random," try asking what led them to that topic. You might be quite amused.

The Ugly Sweater
So I just got back from a Christmas party 2night! I really enjoyed it. It was with the College group called The Current... I go to their stuff a lot of Monday nights. BUT, this was no ordinary Christmas Party, it was an Ugly Sweater Christmas party. Basically, you find an ugly/tacky Christmas sweater and wear it as though Tyra Banks just strutted down the runway in it. The more stuff you can cram onto said sweater, the better it is. Needless to say, I proudly rocked my Christmas Sweater, complete with hand painted Christmas trees, presents and snowmen, and some extra glued-on snowflakes that gleamed blue and white. I won the contest :) We also brought White Elephant gifts to exchange. I was in charge of this section of fun, so I brought along a whole bunch of play money and turned it into an auction! It was pretty awesome. Each player had about $35,000 to bet with and there were more presents than players, so they could bet on more than one thing. Several players had an extra $15,000 to spend as part of their prize for the earlier trivia game. (My team won that by the way... GO TEAM AWESOME.... obviously, rightly named lol). So, all in all, an excellent Christmas Party, I would say.
Unfortunately, I still have one exam left 2morrow. :/ It is my Spanish exam, though and I think I know the info okay, so it shouldn't be that hard to deal with. I am actually probably going to go ahead and go to bed in a few, because last night I only got about 4 hours of sleep and managed to not take a nap during the day, so I am pretty tired!
