Now that the big family Christmas is out of the way, I put all my gifts away and cleaned my room, so now I am free to start working in earnest again.

...I honestly have no idea how I feel about that. I mean, I was doing work, but it was all going towards Shannon's gift, and really wasn't part of a longer narrative (though since I basically ended up giving Shannon a book for Christmas devised entirely of BACKSTORY I guess it is part of a longer narrative after all, ha). Now I really need to get back into the swing of Stephen's and websiting (since I now have two helpful books on HTML as well as the internet at large, in my room, as resources) and enjoying the fact that I have no classes to be behind in.

But it seems silly to get back in the swing of working just now, since Sophie will be here tomorrow and then I will just have a week of her. I mean, she is here so I spend the time working? That's a not. But then right after she leaves I start rehearsals for Bajour!

I guess the bottom line is, it is now Christmas and I need to either do work or go to bed, because the work at least is going to become a luxury.

...in other news, I have a very odd work ethic.
