True that!

Guess who earned her "TRUE" status on xanga?! justgotspaid = awesome badass, true!

I'm so surprised, I didn't even have a speech prepared, but here is goes:

I would like to thank my place of work for giving me a desk with a computer screen that does not face the rest of the office.

I would like to thank North Korea for doing enough crazy terrible shit that I always have something to write about.

I would like to thank my friends, family and nature for giving me support and something to take photos of.

I owe everything to my personal savior, Jesus Christ, so I would like to dedicate this blog to Him and thank Him for all that He has done in my life.

Lastly, I thank you, my fans. Without you I would have to readers, no feedback, no footprints and no motivation to keep slugging onward with my blog year after year. This is for all of you. I love you and thank you.

Birthdays!

Today is my Dad's birthday and Saturday was Kyohei's. Since K and I aren't big into Christmas extravagance and because both of our b-days are close to Christmas anyway, I like to do something involved for his day.

1) I took him to a quick lunch and then to see The Nutcracker! This was sort of a present to myself as well, since it is one of my favorite ballets and because my dance instructor was the Sugar Plum Fairy. BUT, he had never seen it and claims to like classical music, so... AND he liked it! Well, he didn't fall asleep and said he liked it. I'm going to take that as a sign of a good choice.

2) We went to the mall to finish getting xmas presents for his family. Seriously, and correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the benefit of marrying a non-Christian from a non-Christian nation supposed to be that I could forgo the xmas presents? wrong!

3) I took him to this Brazilian Steakhouse in the next city. We went there two years ago and he hasn't stopped talking about it. Time to go back. He was really surprised and pleased. We ate a disturbing amount of delicious meat. I feel a little carbon and karma guilty, but that meat was good.

4) Last stop: after dinner we went to walk around the giant Christmas lights display at a local hospital. They have a little duck pond, which is nice because all the lights reflect in the water. He loves that kind of cheesy Christmas stuff, so it was a good call.
