Normally, I don't ask for anything for Christmas, so I don't usually have a Christmas list. That being said, I'm still not asking for anything. However, I am going to make a list of things I want, and since it's Christmastime, I guess it can be considered a Christmas list. Before I begin, have I ever mentioned that Christmastime is probably in my top 10 favorite words to write? Well, there's a fun fact for y'all.
The List:
-Kindle
-MacBook Pro
-Rosetta Stone (Spanish - Latin America)
-Final Draft (screenplay formatting program)
-Dragon NaturallySpeaking (voice recognition software)
-Lastly, there is a ton of books and movies I would love to own
So, like I said: this isn't a Christmas list, just a list around Christmastime. It's short, but extremely materialistic. These are just things that I eventually plan to buy for myself--whenever I save up enough money. I have a list of things that I want that are far from material, but that list is private.

I Write Vividly to Capture the Vibe
I'm like, hey kid, walk straight; master your high.
If you listen, you can hear the eye of the city cry.
I do my best work between 2:30 and 5:30AM.

Just for Sport...
A friend (shout out to Ashley!) and myself were chatting about what we would categorize as a sport, a skill, both or neither. Here are some of the things we came up with and then a few of my own:
+Bowling: Skill
+Golfing: Skill
+Cheer Leading: Sport (Because they break a sweat. They have to be in relatively good shape and do some dangerous, high flying stunts.)
+Curling: Skill (Though awfully close to being neither.)
+Table Tennis (Ping-Pong): Skill (Because of the wrist action.)
+Basketball: Sport
+Baseball: Sport...though sometimes I'm not completely sure--there's tons of standing around.
+Soccer (Futbol): Both
I'll probably continue to add sports to the list as I figure out the classification for more.

Right Here, Right Now
+ It's 5AM and I'm still awake.
+ I literally have a pain in my neck and it hurts like a bitch to turn my head.
+ I watched an E! special called, '15 Most Unforgettable Hollywood Tragedies' and I could have sworn that they said Heath Ledger's death was #2 and then, when I was expecting them to show #1, a completely different show came on. I can't figure out if Heath Ledger's death was actually #1, or if I was gypped.
+ I think Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato are adorable.
+ I feel incredibly and genuinely sad for Lindsay Lohan. I really hope someone comes along to help her, she could really use it. I want her back in movies!
+ I'm not at all tired at the moment.
+ Rehearsal lasted for almost 5 HOURS last night and I'm still PISSED about it.
+ I'm afraid I'm going to lose all of my documents on my computer randomly, but I'm too lazy to put all of my files on my flash drive...I'm fairly certain this is going to come back and bite me in the ass.
+ Me + KOB for the next two weeks = DREADING IT!
+ I need more money...I applied for a job at Blockbuster (keep your fingers crossed, I might cry if I don't get it...then again, I might cry if I do).
+ I'm going to go read now.
