So I've been up at my father-in-law's place for the last four days for Christmas. I have eaten SO MUCH FOOD AH MY GOD. Dinner was a gigantic fried turkey, a ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, little smokies, yams, broccolli with cheese, stuffing, deviled eggs, and probably at least three things I'm forgetting, and I didn't even get to dessert (triple chocolate cake, pumpkin cheesecake, and key lime pie) because I was too full of actual food. This is the best holiday ever, even if I did get woken up like five hours after going to sleep. Hopefully everyone had a good non-denominational winter holiday of their preference.

Ok so I may have neglected my dA account. My last journal update was 16 months ago. What does that mean to you guys, exactly? It means I'm going to now rant about everything I don't currently like about this site which has changed in the last year because I fear disruption in my life and Meg assures me they've all been bitched to death in Complaints already so I'm not going there to do it. First and foremost, I'd like to say that the current forum system of hitting Tab after a post and having it jump you to the top of the page rather than the next item in line (e.g., the Preview button) is the single most retarded thing I've seen in website

As anyone who read this sorrowful excuse for a journal is already aware, I was down at dA's tenth birthday party bash in Los Angelos over the weekend because I had nothing better to do with my time than drive 2,185 miles for the fun of it, right? All in all, the whole ordeal was pretty fun. MegMcMuffin (https://www.deviantart.com/megmcmuffin) and I crashed at Hurricanrana (https://www.deviantart.com/hurricanrana)'s place for a night on the way down, which was fun. She has awesome cats and her mom's cool as hell. We spent a morning wandering around downtown wherever-the-hell-we-were (Santa Cruz, I think?), raiding a costume shop and eating delicious pizza and ultimately rampaging through an arts and crafts store.
