Holidays, huzzah!

Christmas is almost here, and I couldn't be more excited. Last night I curled up under the Christmas tree and looked up at the lights through the branches. I used to do it as a kid and I forgot how much cooler it looks to see a Christmas tree from that angle.

We had a bonfire at K's place last night...me, K, M, and D. It was nice to sit around the fire with a few drinks, catching up on lost time. M and D are such awesome friends, always looking out for me. I've really come to see them as my overprotective big brothers, but I love that about them.

There is something different about the holidays this year. I'm thinking that maybe I just have a greater sense of security than I have had in the past. I've been riding pretty high for the past couple of weeks, and the excitement of spending time with my family for Christmas is getting me even more amped up. I hope that this wave lasts...it's a nice change of pace from the roller coaster.

C is seeing someone new, and as much as I tried to prepare myself for that, I am happy to say that there was no need. I felt nothing more than apathy about the whole situation. I had people IMing and calling me all day expressing protest, but I didn't get riled up about it. Who cares, honestly. It's strange now. People are still mad at him, but I just don't see the point in it anymore. You'd think that I would be the one still upset and everyone else would have gotten over it by now.

I think part of that lack of interest may come from the fact that I have a new prospect as well. A is 22, a college graduate, and an aspiring novelist. We've hung out a few times since we met through a mutual friend and this is the first time in a long time that I've genuinely been excited about getting to know someone. I don't want to say a whole lot more, because I'm really trying not to get too hopeful, but things have been going well so far. So we'll see how that ends up.

Happy Holidays, ya'll!
