I had a pretty uneventful Christmas this year. In fact, it didn't feel like Christmas at all. It was too warm and wet outside for one thing. Then there was the lack of decorations. We literally shoved the parcels under the lamp and left it at that. That been said, the day went rather well. No fires or thieving bandits the night before. The TV I blew a whole paycheck on for my gran even survived the two months behind the couch intact. But still, even slightly drunk from half a bottle of white wine and a tummy full of chicken, it wasn't really that festive.
My birthday the day before, however, was another story. I ate like a pig, drank like a teenager and even got to spend some quality time with the french guy it seems I'm dating now. I must have eaten six pounds of chocolate over the two day holiday. It was terrible. Well, not at the moment, but a few days after. It took me a week of rationing chocolate like a coke head trying to kick the habit with as few withdrawal symptoms as possible. It sure made work more terrible.
Overall I did alright this year. I got a shit load of royal blue clothes Thanks, Les Mis and got close to 30 movies and a snazzy coat in the Friday sales. I even have enough left over to visit some family in South Yorkshire and on the coast next month. That should be interesting.
work has been pretty terrible this week, in that they've given me no actual hours and used up two of my holiday days, but it hasn't been all bad. The exercise bike I ordered arrived today, and it even came with the necessary tools needed to set it up. I figured a gym membership would set me back 240 a year, so I might as well spend up to that on stuff I can use anytime I want, without that bad gym smell. So far the Super F-BIKE A bike with the name of a yaoi rape machine has held together rather well. I managed to kick out a 15k sprint on the thing without it falling to pieces, well worth the 69.99 I blew on it. I think I'll spend 50 on 50kg worth of barbell the next time I get the cash spare. That should last me a while.
I'm gonna go see Les Mis with Frenchy this weekend, hopefully.
Oh, and thanks everyone who wished me a happy birthday~
Yoji~
