Winter break funtimes.

"Baby Jesus got some gold
What all infants prefer
I bet he got the present face
With francencence and myhrr
Christmas and his birthday
Are both on the 25th
It must have sucked to have to open
Combination gifts"
-Garfunkel and Oates, "Present Face"

I haven't blogged in over a week. I feel slightly guilty about this, but I had finals going on, and then I was relishing in not having finals/anything pressing or important to do, and THEN I was busy with the Project for Awesome, so blogging just took the backseat for a little while.

I had a really strange dream last night. I dreamt that I went back in time (I think it was with Eia, but looking back, it could have been a stock dream-best-friend). I remember walking around in our normal clothes and a street vendor guy asking what was wrong with us and offering to BUY US regular (period appropriate) clothes. And then I went to a book store and was looking for cool old books to buy and bring back to the present, and I found a copy of "Treasure Island" so I tried to buy that, but when I opened my wallet, all that was inside were Euros, which I couldn't use to pay for the book because they weren't even going to be INVENTED until 1999.

Anyway. The Project for Awesome was hugely successful and fun this year. I was proud of the goofy video Liz and I made, and then Kayley and I had a a really good time running the livestream for about three and a half hours on Thursday. Luke was having a blast holding down the fort on spamming the twitter feed, and I am happy to say that #P4A was a trending topic there on twitter for nearly the full two days.

We seriously bulldozed through videos, commenting and getting them up on the most discussed page. And we had a Skype broadcast chat going where a number of people helping out with the project got to know each other on a much deeper, much more inappropriate (and vulgar?) level. Haha.

I've been really enjoying my winter break. School was stressing me out and getting me down, and being done for a little while feels so, so good. Yesterday I cleaned and organized my room, and I've been playing guitar now and then (my New Year's resolution is going to be learning to play seriously. Not that I am not already doing that, but I like to make my resolutions direct and ambitious).

I can't remember what my resolution was last year. That's actually a little disappointing. I am going to pretend that I can't remember what it was because I already accomplished it. Yep. Going with that.

Later today Brittany and I are going to our friend Rebekah's wedding. I am looking forward to this for a number of reasons. 1. I haven't see Brittany probably since May. 2. Rebekah always comes to our wizard rock shows (that's how I know her) and it's nice to finally be able to go to something of hers, to sort of give back. 3. Weddings are fun and I get to dress up.

Tomorrow I am getting up early to go do a zombie shoot for Night Zero, which is going to be a blast I think. I've helped out with production a few times in the last year but I haven't actually been a model for them since last October. It will be fun to get all bloodied up again, and they're shooting for the cover! I'll be sure to let you know when those pictures are online.

Then Monday I am going Christmas shopping with my brother, and then it's pretty much the home stretch until Christmas! Things are exciting and fun around here in Kristina world, basically. I am happy, and Liz is currently getting us tickets to the Muse show that's happening on April 2nd in Seattle and things couldn't be better. Except maybe if Luke lived closer to me. :D

AND, my birthday is in exactly one week. When did THAT happen?
