I need uni work done, ive delayed it all week so after boxing day im goign to cain the shit outta it. Animations wont animate themselves
Yeah, I hit the "Christmas? Meh," phase last year.
It's nice and all, but I've got 3 days straight with family, getting gifts I'd rather just have the money for (selfish? Yes. True? Yes.) and not being able to do the things I need/want.
2 bits of English lit. coursework, I've got a Maths module on the 5th that I haven't yet revised for (A-Level maths by the way, for which I've had 3 glorious U's in assessments), and I need to do some wider reading of Victorian literature for English.
Alright, so it's no Uni work, but I am one lazy guy and I need the maximum amount of free time that I can get to force myself to do it!

I'm not too enthused for myself but I am for my brother and sister. Seeing them get things I could never get when I was a kid is great
Yep, you're an old fart. Ya should think about pre-ordering a new hip, can never be too prepared at your age.
Eh, even money says that shirt already exists somewhere. ... I should look into that._Janny_ said:
OT: No, that's not how you know you're getting old. You know you're getting old when you're so busy with uni projects or whatever work needs doing that you actually forget your own birthday. Happened to me on my 21st, and ever since then time has been flying by 'with nary a backward glance or tip of the hat'.
That just made Christmas for me. Thank you, sir!_Janny_ said:Gah!! *quickly edits* Damn you R key! Thanks for the heads-up, btw. My inner grammar Nazi is has never been more embarrassed. >.<RobCoxxy said:Sounds good! (Although maybe we should use t-shirts..... not t-shits)haha
Really, I'd rather just skip the obligatory "show people that you care about them by buying them expensive shit" phase. If I want something, I'll wait until Boxing day when it's on sale (or if there's some other sale around Christmas time, I'll take advantage of that. - Woo, Bionic Commando Rearmed for $7 CDN on Steam)
I could also do without the "binge on family dinner until you can't eat anymore." I'd rather just cook my own food and not have to worry about gaining 5 pounds over the course of 2-3 days.
The worst thing about being back with my parents for 3 weeks (college Christmas break) is that I can't host radio shows (what I'm going to college for), train at my mixed martial arts club, or do my job teaching kids to read. Aside from things like helping out around the house by cleaning dishes, I'm pretty much useless.

I work a warehouse job for one of the largest boxing/MMA retailers in the world. Needless to say my job sucks the fun out of the holidays. You would be amazed how much shit the many jackass MMA fans buy each year. "Daddy daddy! Santa got me some UFC gel wrap gloves and Throwdown shin guards! YEEAAHHHH"
BUT! I love getting gifts from my wife, she's a great Xmas shopper!

Er, haha, it's a holiday, Janny! Relax and take the holiday off from grammar-nazism.
And have a festive hot chocolate with marshmellows and stuff. On me.
Really? I always find that there's nothing on TV for the holidays. Well, except for the Doctor Who holiday special, but that just breezes by. It's true that there are a lot of Xmas themes movies, but they're almost always re-runs. I used to like the cheesy stuff like Home Alone, but after seeing it every year it tends to get boring.Vie said:
Maybe I'm just missing the old days when Cartoon Network had proper cartons for the holidays.
