My Subconscious
I had a dream last night involving:
grimy London streets that looked more like Boston’s Chinatown, Dr. House, the actor who plays Tony on Skins, a burning ship that I was attempting to swim away from, my mom somehow becoming a millionairess (although I think in my dream she was my aunt), my grandma’s house in PA (except it looked nothing like it), bunk beds, and woods in Maine.

What do you get the guy who sells you wine as a...
ameliamagritte:
I feel like I see him more than a lot of people and he’s so nice and give my dog treats, that I kind of want to get him a “Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!” gift, but normally I would get booze. But obviously that doesn’t really make sense.
A basket of things that go with wine? Grapes, cheeses, crackers, etc…
Or some kind of food.

We do a Ukrainian Christmas Eve (we’re from the Polish side of Ukraine).
I always make pirohi (Uke spelling) by hand for it. No sauerkraut for me, though!

Being a good Polish (ish) girl and eating pierogies is my faaaaaavorite thing to do on Christmas Eve. Yum yum. It is the only time of year I eat sauerkraut.
A True Story
Everyone was waiting outside, and it was freezing. My feet were numb, from the cold seeping through my boots from the pavement below. People were annoyed and becoming more short-tempered by the minute. The bus was fifteen minutes late, and the previous three routes had been dropped without any explanation or apology. Most people had been waiting for over an hour.
A man near me began talking about...
It is my birthday and I am drunk

I turned another year at 12am, now it is 2.35am and I am less than satisfied. I need sleep, happy birthday those who are also born this day x
Happy Birthday!

miseenabyme:
Just in case you need a recipe. I’ve been eating raw sugar cookie dough for 3 days now. It’s also pretty good baked.
This made me laugh.
Robins...
For some reason, there are about 20 robins in the neighborhood that have not flown south for the winter yet.
I don’t think they’ve ever done this before. It’s strange seeing their bright red breasts against the pure white snow. (And deceptively makes it seem as if spring is right around the corner.)
I’m determined to keep putting food out for them so they don’t...

Learn to be quiet
You need not do anything. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, just wait. You need not even wait, just learn to be quiet, still and solitary. And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked. It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
