I have some leftover stamps, and leftover cards, so:

If I'm not happy lately, I'm at the very least content, and yay for that.

I've settled into a rather lovely nightly routine: between 9 and 10, I get dressed (usually with Boots of Doom as part of the outfit; they get some wear and I get to break them in a little at a time this way), go outside and have a cigarette. I only smoke outside, partly because I've never brought up the issue of smoking in the apartment with Elli (since I wasn't at the time, I didn't say I was a smoker when we were arranging) and partly because I really actively dislike stale smoke inside.

It might suck the nights it's 30-something or under, but nights like tonight where it's just chilly enough I start to get uncomfortably cold right around the time I'm finishing up, it's lovely. I like a little cold, anyway - heat makes me absolutely miserable, and aggravates my migraines to the point where step two when I feel one coming (after Excedrin) is to turn the heat way down. And it's nice to get outside for a little bit and just...do nothing.

I come inside, put either water on for tea or milk+hot cocoa mix on, feed the cats and do dishes (and wash my hands because for whatever reason I don't like the smell of cigarette on my hands), and get settled in with a nice hot drink (generally either vanilla chai+eggnog creamer or white mocha ghirardelli cocoa), put on some Christmas music, and on the best nights Fiendy will have posted a new chapter of the current HSA for me to flail over.

It's very nice.

In addition to this being Christmas music season (and if you haven't, go a few posts down and download at the very least the recommended songs because omg so good) (also, I might post a couple full albums in the near future; David Hasselhoff's if nothing else), it's year in review season. Thus, post the first line from the first entry for each month of '07:

(I'm leaving out posts that are just memes)

January: I feel far better this morning.
February: I made a little band in Pixen :)
March: I'm just playing around with the LJTalk posting feature.
April: Possibly the greatest commercial ever made.
May: ABBA Metal: A Tribute to ABBA might be the finest cd ever recorded.
June: I've been meaning to do this for a couple days.
July: Stupid eye doctor dilated my eyes.
August: 1. Housing is totally 100% squared away.
September: Yay pictures.
October: Dear [livejournal.com profile] sidewinder, [Picture of JBJ/Gore hugging] Love, Hector.
November: Yay I'm going to see Nick (and, uh, the rest of the band [Black Rebel Motorcycle Club], too, but mostly Nick. Pretty pretty Nick...) tonight.
December: In all these bandom terminology arguments, I keep seeing accusations that the people arguing for the more general use of the term are being hostile.

Paints a rather shallow picture, doesn't it :D
