Recently got back from a two-person harp concert. Those two people were Gift and a friend of hers. Strident and Eloquent also came to see it. I enjoyed the music greatly, was impressed by the complete lack of music sheets to refer to, and was floored to learn that Gift and her partner wrote 8/11 of the pieces.
After that I did some Xmas shopping. Certain family members might read my blog, so I won't give out any specifics.

YAY, harps! Harps are always fun. I've been fascinated by them since... I think since I saw some cartoon involving a harp. Probably falling from a very high up place. When I went to the Dickens' Fair, everywhere you turned there was someone playing the harp. It was so cool! The air was filled with this glorious music... ah...
I went YULE shopping (at the Dicken's Fair, of course!), since I do not believe in Christmas. It is an evil holiday made up by card companies. I got something for you, Peter. ;) But I shall not tell you what it is! You have to wait until Yule to open it. (That's another thing, I don't believe in wrapping paper... hmm... plastic bag? But plastic bags don't have that special wrapping paper beauty...) Or at least until the last school day before the holiday break. ;)
Yay! That performance was so beautiful! OMG, Liza has such a good voice! It was great to see you, Peter! I'm glad I got to catch up on my shoulder hopping before my eight day limit expired.
Christmas is an Evil holiday made up by the christians who morphed the winter solstise into their massiah's birthday... AND evil card companies.
gah, I spelled solstice wrong. Sorry about that. I do in fact know how to spell solstice.
Yes, we believe you. *pats head* Now, go eat your cookies!
And, I know all that *coughDaVinciCodecoughcough*, but I didn't want to upset any Christians who might be reading this. I have my opinions, I don't wanna bang on their religion. But now that it's out there, I'M WITH YA, SISTER!
(And a note on your spelling corrections, while we're at it: isn't it messiah? I will check on that and get back to y'all. And I don't think spelling matters that much in a comment on a blog)
And Lilly, dear, if you read this, go to my blog. There is a message for you.
Aaah! You shouldn't have done that, Lilith! Now I need to find something for you or I will feel guilty and rotten inside and I have no idea what you like! Oh, well. I'll think of something. ;)
Aaah! I shouldn't have said that! Now I need to find something for you, Lilly, or I will feel guilty and rotten inside anyway and my budget is wearing thin!
Aaah! I shouldn't have said that! Now I need to find something for the rest of the Venetians or I will feel hugely guilty and rotten inside and I can only take $50 so far!
THIS is why Christmas is evil!
Aaah! Now I feel magnificently guilty and rotten inside because I'm draining away your money and making you feel guilty and rotten inside!
This IS why Christmas is evil...
Please, don't feel the need to get me a gift. Or if you've made up your mind that you are going to get all those people you've mentioned gifts, read on...
I already feel REALLY bad because I can't buy a lot of other people on my list gifts. Wanna know why? I mean, I do have quite some money saved up on my ATM card account thingy. It's because I need that money for myself. How bad does that sound? Really bad. But that's ALL the money I have for myself. My mom doesn't buy me stuff now, like clothes and shampoo, so I have buy it myself. Usually I spend all my money on all my friends and get them really nice gifts. But not this year. So this year I'm going on the principle of "it's the thought that counts". I bought two little bead things and made them into earrings for that crazy bi girl who wears pirate stuff. The beads cost zilch, but I think she'll really like them because I made them (and because they're pirate beads ;). I put a lot of thought into my gifts, and love. I love each of my friends deeply and I let them know it. But no $50 Britney Spears perfume. ;)
If all else fails, get a dollar's worth of chocolate for each person. Everyone loves chocolate. ;)
Everyone should just paint each other for Yule. By the end of the day everyone would be a colorful piece of art, and wallets would not be crying.
Or you could just take that 50 and cut it in as many ways as needed. It brilliant! I must be a genius or something. I wonder if there is a reason why no one has though of this before...
I have a idea as to what I might be able to do for everyone.
Gah! Now I feel like I need to get all the venitians presents as well! Yikes!
CHOCOLATE, people, chocolate I tell you!!
Yuck
