Christmas is coming up, and I have to get gifts for family and friends. I am bad at choosing gifts for people, except for my Maman.
2008 Christmas gift list (as if you care)

• something fancy for mama
• something girly for sista
• a small amount of money for a particular friend to show gratitude for 'their' kindness driving me around.
• surprise gift for someone else
• DASS IT!
• o and something special for myself...

I need to "tek me foot in me han" (i just love how Gullah is all on this post) and get the gifts before I forget

I love the meaning of Christmas, but I hate the materialistic mode everybody gets in when it comes around. This is no new complaint about this season, but I feel the need to type it to you. All of us succomb to the materialistic devil on our shoulder and his demands, so dont act all self-righteous like you dont't--it's okay, it really is, as long as you know the real reason behind the season Im okay with that, and besides, I truly think it is good for people to engage in the system of buying and selling, not only for the economy, but to simply get the urge to spend out of one's system. I guess I contradicted myself. Im amerikkkan, thats normal though.

Ooh I went to a potluck again last night at my friends apartments (i made sweet potatoes--theyre a killer) and was introduced to this tofu dish that was sweet and very spicy, like bayou spicy. I need to get the recipe for that. The dinner was fun. Idk wat it is, but one of my favorite things to do with friends is EAT with them. I love hot food and i like the company of friends when music is playing in the background. Makes me forget about all the troubles lurking around me. U wanna be my friend? Invite me over to eat, and have some Ella Fitzgerald or Kenna playing softly. :-D

FINALLLLSSSSSSS!!!!!! HYSTERIAAAA!!!!! NERVOUSNESS!!!!!! FAILURE!!!!!! SUCCESSS!!!!!! COLLEGE!!!!!!!! . . . Jesus.
