Happy Christmas Eve!

I have to admit, today has been somewhat amusing. And somewhat irritating as well.

As of today, my mom and I had done almost NO Christmas shopping at all. So we basically had to do pretty much everything today. Which is bad enough on a normal day, but I woke up this morning and I'm pretty sure I have a sinus infection because the right side of my face really hurts and my head is all stuffy and my right eye seriously won't stop watering.

Oh yeah. I'm pretty today.

But it's made for some really interesting looks today, because I usually look like I'm crying, and when I don't look like I'm crying, my right eye is basically swollen shut, so I look like I'm winking constantly. Which is really entertaining because for some reason, almost every man running around today was very attractive. It just figures that the day I've got wink-eye and my hair is a Cowardly Lion-esque 12x12 mass on the top of my head (hair appointment, don't judge) that all the attractive guys would be out.

ANYWAY I thought I might entertain with a few quotes from last night/today, because the people I surround myself with are very entertaining that way.

Wuh: Why is it that the universe loves you so much?
Zach: I don't know. But I think the universe loves me in the wrong way. I feel like if the universe really loved me, it would at least give me a career path or something.
Me: So basically you're saying that the universe treats you like a cheap whore?
Zach: Basically.
Wuh: Oh, I can think of worse things...

(driving past Lighthouse Pools last night - massive amounts of Christmas trees in the display window)
Bee: Oh my God! Look at all those Christmas trees! It's like a Christmas tree epiphany.
Wuh: It's a Christmas tree orgasm.

(today, picking out Legos for my cousin)
Mom: Do you think he would like this at all?
Me: Not really. Preston never struck me as a King Arthur kind of guy. He's not so much 'What, ho! Off to battle!' kind of guy as he is a sirens and Kevlar vests kind of guy.

Me: Hey, do you think the Greeks would be horrified if I found a Mary is my Homegirl T-shirt and wore it tomorrow for Christmas?
Mom: Yes. They would be. It would go right over Yia-Yia's head, but everyone else would be horrified. Plus it's blasphemy. You might be able to get away with it Saturday though.

(text to Wuh)
Just saw Ian from the Fairways at Kohl's. Took me a minute to place him mostly because he was wearing a shirt. Awkward much?

(driving past a family outside Target)
Me: So is that a girl or a boy?
Mom: It's a cheetah.
Me: That's not what I asked you.
Mom: OH. Oh... now I see what you're talking about. Hard to tell. Sometimes it's best not to know.

Mom: I don't know about the Legos thing. We're going to have to think outside the box on this.
Me: Heh. That's funny. 'Cause Legos... come in a box.

That's about all. Things were funny because we got super-delirious and then we hit rock bottom and nothing was funny anymore. Now we're just exhausted. So I'm off to wrap things and watch 'White Christmas'. Yay.

Happy Christmasish!
