It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

Hello peeps, thanks for taking time out of your day to read this. I must say three days away from this thing feels like a week to me. I've decided to not write about a specific current event(s) for this post, and I will instead just give you all a bit of insight as to what has been going on in my life lately, good and bad. I will, of course, try not to get too personal, but I will give enough details so as to not be so vague. Without further ado, here's my little life update, enjoy :)

So Tuesday, Dec. 9 was a pretty great day for me--after school was off, of course. This was the day of my work buddy's Christmas choir concert, and boy was it a hell of a time. I attended the 3:30 show, so the place wasn't as packed and fired up as it was for the 7:00 show, but it was still fun. You guys would've LOVED the ending; I sure as hell did. After all choir groups went up and performed their part of the melodic show, every member of the choir surrounded the audience and finished the performance with a mesmerizing holiday carol that had the whole place cheering. If the 3:30 show was this amazing, I can only imagine what the 7:00 show--which was sold out--was like.

But that wasn't the only highlight of my day. After the show ended at around 5, my friend and I decided to go for a bite at the Taco Bell nearby--yes, yes I know it's not the "dream" place to go eat after her show, but it was the nearest place within walking distance! After pushing through the crowd of other hungry choir members, we took our food back to her school, where we found a somewhat solitary spot--close enough to "civilization" in case it got too lonely, but confined enough to give us our much needed privacy for catching up and such. Before you sickos out there start raising your eyebrows, no we did not "do anything" of that sort. We just ate and talked and laughed away and yes we did enjoy the alone time--in a healthy way. I don't want to reveal too much, but let's just say I've made many mistakes in the past that I do NOT want to repeat with this girl. She deserves all the respect in the world and so much more. Anyway, after our bite and chat, we had to depart at around 6:30 so that she could prepare for her next show, and I of course went my separate way back to home. All in all, that was an unforgettable evening for me, and I cherish every moment I get to spend with her, which only makes the wait more worthwhile.

What wait, you ask? Well, for the people who know about her (as they keep asking me questions about her), we're not "official." We have too many other priorities to rush into a relationship (school and work, above all), plus we've only known each other for about three months. But in those three months, I've gotten to know her quite well and we both get along so greatly that we don't want to ruin what we have by taking it a step further, if that makes sense. Long story short, we're not like most couples today, who just hook up one night and go around preaching "It was meant to be." No. We're two of the very, very few people that still take relationships seriously, so we want to wait until at least after high school before we think about giving it a shot or not, which explains as to why I said the wait is worthwhile.

Moving forward to Dec. 10, I finally fulfilled one of my long-time wishes--I dyed my hair red. Oh man, you should've seen the reactions on some of my friends' faces. They never would've imagined I would go up to them one day with brightly-colored hair, and neither have I, but it finally happened. Truth be told, it's still pretty weird to me as well, but I'd by lying if I said I don't dig it. Of course I did get some criticism for choosing that specific color, but hey I'm doing my thing and enjoying it, so those comments mean nothing to me.

On a different subject, I ordered myself a Galaxy Gear 2 Smartwatch, another wish of mine I've been waiting to make a reality. It's so purty, look-it look-it look-it

I've been wanting one of these babies for a long time, and my hard work is finally paying off. Looks like I'm buying my own Christmas gifts this year!

Well, there's my little update peeps, hope you enjoyed reading about what's been going on in my life, but this is only a snippet of it. I could go into other tangents--my constant retaking of AP Stats tests that I never seem to pass, some minor troubles at work, among other obstacles--but seeing as I'm short on time, I'll leave this little piece for you guys. As always, stay up to date, stay safe, and have a great holiday season everyone :)

Everybody loves Arctic Monkeys, right?? Here's a personal favorite of mine, enjoy.
