This song makes me happy. :) It would appear I have a thing for Christian bands. But not because they’re Christian. Actually, I don’t see the Christian at all, I usually find out they’re Christian after listening to them for a while and look it up on Wikipedia. Like Demon Hunter. :D. Although they’re not technically a Christian band. Close enough. Now that I listen to the lyrics of “Unbreakable”, I see how it is quite Christian. But I don’t choose to interpret the lyrics that way. And that’s why music rawks. Anyway. I like this song. It makes me feel happy.

I don’t have to work at 6am on Saturday anymore. :D Also, I work Christmas Eve. Which means I get Boxing Day off. Hells friggin’ yeah. So awesome. SO AWESOME.

Brianne is one of my favorite people lately <3

Two more days of work until two days off. My foot survived pretty well today, actually. Although I think I’m just getting a little bit used to the pain. I don’t seem to be registering it as much as before. Which really isn’t any better, since it means there’s still something wrong.

Driving today was hell and I wish to never repeat it.

Picked up Craig from the Greyhound. He’s looking the same as ever, sans the Jesus viking hair. He finally met Danny, so it’s finally happened. Speaking of Danny, he goes back to Mexico in… three hours and fifteen minutes. Godspeed, my Mexican hubby.

I got some money from my “grandfather”. I don’t actually know if it’s from him. My parents often just give me money and say that it’s from him. Like they’re trying to give me an incling that he somehow cares or something. I hope it is from him, if only for the fact that I don’t want to take more money from my parents than I have to because they’re a bit financially tight right now. Anyway, I’m going to use it to buy LittleBigPlanet, I think. It’s the more expensive game out of the ones that I want. So I’ll pick it up tomorrow. I’ll tell my parents to get me Persona 4 for my Christmas present. It’s cheaper. I don’t want them to spend much.

For some reason, I just don’t want to go to bed today. Hrm.

So I have an argument for businesses. The general policy at stores is that employees are not allowed to wish customers “Merry Christmas” because we are required to acknowledge all religions, not just ones that celebrate Christmas, which is totally fine, I get it. So if we’re not even allowed to wish people Merry Christmas (the alternative is “Happy Holidays”, etc.), then why do we listen to Christmas music? Isn’t that acknowledging only one religion, in a way? Shouldn’t businesses play the same music they’ve been playing all year in order to acknowledge that not all religions celebrate Christmas? Why change just for this one season? I dunno. It’s not like it’s a huge thing, I’m not offended or anything, I was just thinking about it the other day. I mean, if businesses are going to be “accepting” in one way, shouldn’t they be “accepting” in all ways? I realize that not all “Christmas” songs have to do with Christmas (i.e. “Let it Snow”), but a lot do (i.e. “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”). I’m kind of interested to bring it up with my managers to see what they have to say to justify it. Shouldn’t they be consistent? If you make an exception in one area, they’ll have to start making exceptions in other areas. It’s only fair. I dunno. Again, I’m not like… against Christmas music. Yes, it annoys me after a while, but I wouldn’t try to get rid of it forever just because I don’t like it because I realize that other people do. I’unno. I’m curious. Maybe I’ll strike up a conversation about it tomorrow or Saturday. I really am curious as to how they’ll justify it. I’m sure they’ll come up with some bogus excuse that makes no sense. They always do.

In other news, my driver’s side window is frozen shut. Just that window. Which is a real pain when you discover this when you’re stuck in a drive thru line. The Timmy’s people chuckled at my misfortune of having to get out of my car at the drive thru. It was so cold.

I need to stop procrastinating. Bed now.

OH YEAH. Technically, it is Tyler and Chris’ birthdays. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER AND CHRIS. HURRAY.
