I wish it could be Christmas everyday



Apart from the fact that Ianto has just done a Christmas wee on my hand. Stupid rat.

Anyway, so just sitting here chilling, singing along to Mr Elton John's Step Into Christmas waiting for my Aunt and Uncle to come round for the standard Christmas Eve exchange of presents and eating of mini cheddars. Tomorrow morning me and my brother will get up early, open our presents from Santa
(who still comes to 21 year olds! I'm so happy!), then the grandparents will come round for presents and lunch and then our day will end at 4pm when my two Great Uncles come round and bore our faces off.


I don't remember Christmas any other way. Christmas and NY 2010 only seem like yesterday. Maybe because nothing changes it seems like the same day on repeat and actually I kinda love it this way. I don't know how I'm going to cope when I get married or move to Australia; things will have to change then!

OMG HAIRSPRAY'S ON IN 15MINUTES! WIN!

Minor distraction. Never realised how properly close I am to my family. When I was young I always wondered why on Earth my parents didn't mind not getting so many presents or that Father Christmas didn't visit them anymore but now I'm quite happy just coming home and enjoying being with my family and of course Mr Jake Dog. Before uni I guess I took home life for granted but now I look forward to it way more than presents .. although they do help :P

This year I'm stepping out and for the first time in 21 years I won't be spending New Years Eve with my parents ... though I'm sure I will phone them and shout some drunken New Year wishes from the JSV :D

But with a new year comes changes so ...
My New Years Resolution for 2012:
Go back to FatBusters (Slimming World) and lose some weight! Then once I'm a size 10 and under 10 stone I will treat myself to a new tattoo on my hip :) Yes I am bribing myself.

I've just realised that 2012 is essentially the year that will shape my life ... depending on what I get in my degree, what job I get, whether I stay in Plymouth or come home ... it's frightening really but I am comforted by the fact that it is 2012 ... 12 being my lucky number so I'm relying on that getting me through! 

2011, you're been one hell of a year. It's been a brilliant one actually .. a few pot holes but I wouldn't expect anything else. I have completely turned myself around since this time last year and believe me I never thought I would feel this good :D  Incredible what can change in 365 days.

So finally lots of love to everyone that's been there for me this passed year whether it be a shoulder to cry on; some helpful arms pulling me up when I passed out on my 21st or just willing to laugh at things again and again because lets face it ... some things just never get old :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I hope all your wishes come true :) Love Cock
