hello xanga world,

     it is the night before christmas eve.  i've just spent half the day fighting crowds, pushing and shoving my way through the packed malls of kansas city, only to come back home with little but a headache.  i'm horrible at buying gifts for other people...and i'm sure my procrastination is probably one reason for that.  or maybe i intentionally procrastinate so that i can excuse the lacklustre nature of the gifts due to limited availability of the better ones.  who knows?  i'm a horrible procrastinator.  or rather i'm a good procrastinator...i'm just horrible at getting things done on time. 

     i think i'm going to start a new project.  you probably wouldn't guess it by my posts...but i'm an english major aspiring to be a writer.  i don't like the froth and bubble of most works and when i try it i fail miserably...just look at some of my previous posts.  so i like to write things as i know them.  keep it real, as it were.  i'm also a musician...i sing, play the violin, piano, and guitar.  and with all of these God-given talents, guess what i'm doing?  sitting flat on my bum.  i've started many stories...some are even quite good, if i say so myself...and i've even tried to tinker with song-writing.  i think it's time that i pick that up again.  as i am, i feel like i'm not doing anything or going anywhere.  i have (hopefully) three semesters left of college, but what then?  there's no time like the present, and procrastination certainly isn't going to do me any good here.  so i think i'm going to start up my projects.  work fell through for the break, so i have a little time.  i'll keep you posted on what happens. we shall see.
