can't go home alone again, need someone to numb the pain

You know, there are these moments in life where I just have to stop and think about my life. Like, I was so stressed out yesterday-- have been since Monday, really. But I was walking downstairs yesterday, just to grab a cup of tea, and I had to stop mid-step, because my mum and Lumba was sat by the table in the kitchen. The thing is that though we have a table in the kitchen, we never use it. We use the diner table in our living room. They were both just sat towards the window and chatting, and it was just such a nice picture to collect in my memories. I stood there for a bit, watching them eat together whilst my mum was telling a story. I hope it will burn into my memory, for me to remember later in life. I've only had three and a half hour sleep, due to my exam. But it's finally over, and it already feels like eons since I was working on it. Now I can rest, and count down the days to Christmas in (somewhat) peace. I'll have to use these 13 days of holiday wisely. Tonight I was at a get-together with old pals from "high school" (including Marble and Sugar) and it was really nice. We ate, chatted, and I got to be in charge of picture-taking. After they got fed up with me taking pictures of them, Sugar took charge of my camera, and she snapped a few pictures. One of which was this one. I've actually not posted a picture of an outfit in months, but hey, here you go. When I'm supposed to "dress up", I don't enjoy getting too dressed up. I like it to be casual. Otherwise I feel a bit uncomfortable, to be honest. I'm strange like that. Tomorrow the rest of the people come to the house. I'll have to clean, and I'm pretty sure we're going to the mall. And then later on, it's the "julebord" with the other people. It's going to be a nice day, if not tiring. That's the thing, it's the holidays, but I have a feeling it's going to be really tiring. Also, can you actually believe it's only a couple of days until Christmas Eve? It's crazy. And I've got absolutely no Christmas spirit. Oh well, maybe it will come within the next days. My goodness, I've been listening to so much new music (to my ears) the past weeks. My new obsession is Stay High by Hippie Sabotage. It's such a tune! We're currently watching a bit of Avatar, which I've never seen before-- but I think I'm going to bed soon. After all, I've barely had enough sleep.
