With the winter season upon the dragon and I, I have decided to make another journal. I have some major life updates, but they are good, sensible ones.

First, neither of us will be going to MFF. Lately, we have been to many cons and it would be at least $300 minimum for us each to be able to attend with food and other expenses. I know that I could just shell out the money and do it, but at the same time I am con staff for another con. I am trying to save with the dragon for a house, too. I'm not saying I won't ever go to any other cons besides the one I staff in the future. I am just saying I am at a point in my life where some things just take precedence over short vacations.

Things are going well at my job and for now I want to stay put. Its winter so there aren't many job openings anyways. I'm focusing my efforts on Christmas stuffs. Religious pretenses aside, Christmas is my time to shine. I love getting or making presents as well as wrapping them. I know, I know, the holiday should not be about materialism. Its not the gifts themselves, its about the fact I have the power to give others some happiness. I love holiday parties and get-togethers even without gifts, too. Usually there are big enough crowds to play games and such.

However, first there is Thanksgiving to think about. My irl family is having it early so I am thinking of an interesting idea. I plan to tell my family about the dragon at Christmas rather than now (long story for those not in the know). But since I still have Thanksgiving off and traffic will be a byach that day to try and make it back home, what I might do is try to is have a furry thanksgiving with friends. I am totally not sure if we'd go the whole nine yards and get a turkey, but I have always wanted to try making one with the dragon, so its not out of the realm of possibility.

Life has been very plain lately and so there isn't much else to report. I guess I'm just very focused on the holidays for now.
