Thank God for mothers. I hate shopping. I'm just glad that my mum likes it so much - otherwise there wouldn't have been much in the way of Christmas presents from me to others... So yeah, mum knows exactly what to get; it's not that I rely on her to buy my presents, but since she did I'm very accepting of, and grateful for, that fact.
Enough about purchasing presents - where are things at right now? It's Christmas Eve; which basically means that tomorrow we celebrate the birth of the Saviour of the World. Such a momentous occasion can't be taken lightly. It seems that far too much in this secular world, people take Christmas as a stressful time - a commercial time, even if they do spend the day with family and friends.
Today was almost like any Saturday, though. As usual, we had our Molten Core run. However, since I had this family get-together tonight, I had to cut my time in there short. It wasn't exactly the best run, either. I mean, wiping on Garr twice? He's only the fourth boss. And that after wiping on Lucifron the first time! And he's the first, and possibly weakest, boss! What's interesting is not that today's raid was the only one for the weekend but that the majority (90%?) of people in the raid were actually guildies. Which just goes to show that we do have enough level 60's - a few more and we won't need any pickups at all!
Don't get me started on WoW. Not that it's avoidable. Since I play every day it'll come into almost anything that I write. In fact, World of Warcraft makes its way into a lot of what I do or say - scary, huh. Take for example the towels that Nick and I got tonight. He got a green one and I got a blue one. To the n00b that may not have much significance. But anyone who's anyone knows that a blue [rare] is better than a green [uncommon]. Such a simple thing but I'll bet he still wants a purple towel (epic). Me, I'd rather have an orange one XD (legendary).
Well, we went to Matt and Lish's to have a family supper and open Christmas presents - since Christmas day will be spent over on the Coast with extended family. We all opened our presents from each other. The thrill goes away when you grow up. I guess I'm either too tired to really care much about this aspect of things or I've just spent too long on my computer for real life to have much of anything for me. Whatever it is, it really doesn't feel much like a festive time. I know it took me ages to get the songs out of my head last night after having had them play all day at work since the start of the month, but there's so much more to Christmas - and I just don't feel it anymore.
Now that Christmas Eve is pretty much over and we all have new stuff - maybe I'll take the time to put up some sort of summary list or something tomorrow - I feel like just going to bed so we can get through tomorrow. No, I'm not anxious to see Christmas over for some oddball reason - I just know that it's snuck up on us so quickly it'll be over before I can blink. No use trying to hang onto it or to cherish it in any way, save to give God the glory for sending His Son to us in such a unique, and so very human, way.
At least I got some fishing time in. I need to get my skill up to its max (300, as with every profession and skill) but it's so slow going, since you only get one point every so often. It's quite a hard skill to judge (blah blah blah...).
*Zerk*
Must... force my mind away from things pertaining to Azeroth.
I'm playing the drums at church tomorrow. Last Sunday morning I played as well, having swapped with Steve, who played that evening. Now that's something I enjoy outside of my room. Not much appeals to me that isn't WoW related but drumming is another part of me. It's something I'm happy spending my time doing. Tomorrow morning will be great ^L^
Christmas Eve: /end
