merry christmas baby !



A touch of supaa scenexkid christmas tunes, circa mid decade.

I was on the treadmill the other day (I genuinely think my mom is trying to fatten me up or something else cray cray like that because I've probs gained about 7 pounds since getting home) and my dad comes downstairs all excited because he had gotten me "a really cool present. Well actually you probably won't think it's cool." I, of course, expected something incredibly awesome and nerdy. Like perhaps a cactus or a DVD that was on sale.

Turns out my dad got me a laptop cooler.

He figured that it probably wouldn't fit into my carry on luggage so he suggested we strap it to my backpack with bungee cords. Dad also got me a wireless mouse. Because he said it was like 90% off. And I was like ". . .Dad it's because no one uses wireless mice anymore. It's all about the scroll pad." He seemed suspicious of this and basically forced the mouse on me. Yeah idk how I feel about that. . .

JK I LOVE IT!

I heart my fam. Here is my dad's Facebook profile picture:


And here is the only activity he's ever had on Facebook (it's a status update): Camry wiring harness connectors


 When I asked him about it, he was all "I got confused and thought that was the search box."


Also, the only time he ever Skyped me with a webcam, it lasted for 2 minutes and it was to show me that it was snowing outside. And then when I finally forced him to put the webcam on himself, turns out his outfit choice of the day was a long blue robe with a vest on top of it. Karl Lagerfeld, I think I have your next fashion muse. 


Anyways, moral of the story is that my dad is hilarious and Christmas is a time for family bonding and getting totally fat and then feeling demoralized when you try to bring out the foxy come New Year's Eve. Hope your Christmases are going swimmingly people of the blogosphere community !!


Also, one more add on.


If you are a picture person and have considered buying/illegally downloading Photoshop, I have another option for you. It's called Gimp. And while it may sound like a derogatory term for a poor little boy who got polio and then had to crutch around sadly for the rest of his life, it's not. It's like Photoshop, but it's completely free. http://www.gimp.org/ <--download here. It can do realllly cool things, but it's a lot of learning, too. So if you're lazy (or a freshman girl in high school who likes hearts and Taylor Swift lyrics embossed on her black and white picture of her and her friends doing the Charlie's Angels pose). . .stick with Picnik.
