Well.. I got up this morning to Callie and Jones trying to sneak into my room to put shaving cream on my hands and then tickle me face with a feather. So I waited until they got within a few feet of the bed, now remember they thought I was still asleep, and jumped up and yelled. It scared the crap out of them and they ran downstairs as fast as they possibly could.

I thought it was pretty funny personally.

Anyway then I got up and went to guitar, which was alot of fun. We had an hour lesson today which at first I thought was gonna kill my fingers but I'm starting to get used to playing for long periods of time. We're doing christmas music which is pretty cool. I'm not a huge fan of it but Louie's making it fun. I'm getting good at it to. It's kinda odd really that some people have been in the group for upwards of 6 years and their still in the intermediate group, I was in the group for a month and a half before I got moved up to the Advanced group. And 7 months into it Louie has started giving me and one other girl private lessons learning how to fingerpick , something that I absolutly love. And all of this is with very little prior knowledge of the guitar. I guess I just catch on quick...

Anyway, after guitar we picked up Peanut (Brisson) and headed home. I found out that some of my stuff was missing, courtesy of Jones and Callie (My mouse and the cable that runs between my keyboard and my amp). So I promptly stole a few of her things, including her lifesized free standing cardboard poster of Orlando Bloom and her prized iPod Touch. Needless to say she wasn't too pleased about all of that.

Anyway after all of the theiving took place Mom took us all out to lunch at Sharkey's. The food wasn't nearly as good as the conversation. I finally manage to get Callie, Peanut and Jones to start complaining about some of the people in her class, namely McKayla and Nicole, A.K.A Porkchop and Ugly. It was pretty funny actually.

When we got home we all managed to get mad at each other while we sorted out the whole "Who stole what" situation. I got all of my stuff back, Simply by threatening to mess up her iPod. Which of course I wouldn't do but she didn't know that.

I talked to sarah a little, well ok not a little, more like a few hours with before I went down stairs and did a bit of filming with my Canon Xh A1. I havent used it in a while so I figured I'd break it out and do a little work with it.

Well I ended up filming a bunch of stuff for Callie and the rest of them. It was really funny actually. I may actually post it all up on Youtube but I doubt I'll get around to it. Who knows.

Anyway so now i'm talking to sarah again and doing a bit of photoshopping.

God I never stop doing those two things. I need a life.

Each year as night falls on Christmas Eve in Woodstock, New York, much of the town gathers on and around the village green to await the arrival of Santa Claus. The time of his arrival is known (5:30 p.m.); what is a secret is the manner of his arrival. He has arrived by elephant, on top of a giant Frosty the Snowman, out of the sky, and by numerous other means over the years. People sing Christmas carols as they await his arrival, and stop into the nearby shops that provide free refreshments for this event.

For Christmas 2005, as a nod to Woodstock’s reputation as a haven of peace and music (though the Woodstock concert was actually located nearly an hour’s drive away), Santa arrived on the back of a giant dove that dangled from a purple crane that had been parked at the edge of the green (and had provided the only clue as to Santa’s possible means of arrival—though I had told my six-year-old nephew that perhaps it had nothing to do with Santa at all, that maybe a purple construction company had come to town, and it would henceforth build only purple buildings…). The dove set him down on the neck of an enormous mock-up of a peace-symbol-emblazoned guitar; he had brought his own guitar, and jammed (Hendrix I think, and some other song that evoked the Woodstock era), then descended to hand out goodies to the kids, along with his team of elves and reindeer. The giant guitar and dove remained on the green for a couple of days, until they were hauled away.
