Christmas Day

After working at my casual job for six days straight, I finally got a break on Christmas day (well, the store's closed). Naturally the first thing I did was sleep in til at least 10am. Not that I'm beyond the age of being excited by presents, it's just that my parents either don't give presents or give really really shit ones. Dad still doesn't give presents, but Mum bought me stuff. Last year it was a towel. I don't know about you, but I don't exactly find towels riveting. I was happy enough though, because hey, towel was better than no towel. It was a nice blue towel, too.

This year I got chocolate, socks and a thermal mug. Wasn't so thrilled about the first 2, but the thermal mug is totally cool. It's my favorite shade of grey-blue, and I've wanted a thermal mug for ages. So in terms of Christmas presents, I reckon I've had a good run. We also had a massive feast for dinner and lunch--- Mum made sushi and BBQ'd chicken wings. I ate til I was bloated.

Then I spent almost every other minute cleaning out my room. I still haven't finished, but I gave up in the end. My room was a complete disgrace. The dust was 30mm thick, I swear. I must've inhaled a good cubic decimeter of dust whilst cleaning. I cleaned out my bookshelf of books I've never touched and will never touch--- found a copy of the New Testament in Chinese, which amused me. Shelf-cleaning was actually quite hard, because I had to wipe the dust off the book, clean the shelf-space it occupied and decide whether I wanted the book. Then I threw out a bunch of papers which had accumulated over the past two years.

It was all quite chaotic and disastrous, with papers and dust flying in the air, books falling off shelves and slamming on my feet, and me tripping over/ stepping on things. Not to say that there wasn't anything nice about it--- I did find things I thought were lost forever--- and some nice stuff I forgot I even possessed.

Then it was just wiping dust away in general and vacuuming. Was actually so painful--- after I had finished I felt hungry again--- and that's saying something, considering how much food I ate today. Ah, pains of the first world.

Well, I had a fine day, despite it being mostly cleaning and eating. Hope you guys had fun too. Looking forward to shopping tomorrow. Merry Christmas.
