Why I Love/Hate Christmas

Yep, it's Christmas day. Which means...I'm bored. So I got to thinking about the reasons why I like/dislike Christmas.
Reasons why I like Christmas:
1. PRESENTS!!!!
2. Store discounts
3. Holiday parties

Reasons why I hate Christmas:
1. Agonizing over what to get my friends, I always end up buying more crap for myself.
2. Spending time with my family, because they are CRAZY
3. All the fake joyous crap
4. Santa Claus- the schtick's up old man.
5. Everything's closed! Except CVS
6. Nothing good on TV. All they have is some lame holiday special
7. I'm atheist and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ seems wrong

Obsessions

The lack of anything insightful to say today is getting on my nerves. That's not exactly true as I always have a myriad of thoughts in my head but everything failed to materialize in a legible, coherent form. Lists save me the trouble of coming up with sentences.

Current obsessions
1. fretting over law school applications
2. movies: The Bourne Ultimatum, Titan A.E., anything with Matt Damon, Sweeny Todd (Christmas can't get here soon enough!)
3. music: Indochine, VHS or BETA, The Cure, old Mariah Carey(?!)
4. New York City (more like an all-time obsession)
5. Haruki Murakami books
6. books in general
7. relationships
8. Sudoku
9. my hair (not in a good way)
10. moisturizing

I will add to this as I see fit.
