day 358

hi~ do u guyz sumtymz get sad/angry/grumpy during the holidayzzz?

sometimes the expectations of christmas are ridiculously high.

i just get this overwhelming urge to make everyone happy

for example, i MADE everyone in my family a present, and i'm afraid they won't like them..

i just RLY LOVE MAKING PPL HPY

and i just stayed awake realllly late to finish wrapping presents. (soooo merry christmas!)

and also at work today i was feelin sad. thought about crying. didn't.

hope y'all are not being moody like me. are y'all seeing movies tomorrow with your families? are you watching a christmas story but not in the order that the movie was intended to be seen in on tbs? are y'all listening to KVKI?

here's a link to something beautifully written and christmas/holiday-moods-related

day 354

hi guys.

it's no secret that i love shopping in crowds, hordes of hurried people, stampedes even.

and dallas had some MEGA CROWDS.

so exciting~~~~

i got most of what i wanted to get, i truly am such a thoughtful gift-giver. i think i'd make an excellent personal shopper. i'm going to add that to my "potential careers" list.

the only other things on that list are walrus trainer, cake photographer, and president of the chip of the month club, which technically isn't even a career so i should cross that one off.

but y'all, i don't believe that having a CAREER is really as important as society has drilled into our brains, ok?

goodnight!

day 353

film from my ~~~diana mini camera~~~

dacoda and i went to the flea market this morning to get christmas presents for our friends. we got some SWEET DEALS.

also i got FRANKENWEENIE on vhs to watch tonight since we aren't having gamenight (////////**CRYING*)

i still need to wrap lots of presentzz

and tomorrow i'm going to dallas with my mom.

you might be thinking, lizzie haven't you gone to dallas like 57* times this year? *exaggeration

but dallas is just really not that far away and we all know how i feel about big cities and there are a few more things i need to get for chreeestmas that i can't buy here and don't feel like ordering online.

hopefully my mom won't make me listen to her audiobook in the car.

here are a few other pictures from the film i just got developed. i started the roll in august and just now finished it. all of these were taken on the half-frame setting so that's why they are 2-in-1 and multipley-exposed.

day 352
