i was sitting in my bright red mivi van under the surpringly sultry sun, listening to LA's official christmas music station on the infamous 405, trying to imagine what the holiday season would be like if there was snow on the ground. in the stop and go traffic, i got exponentially pissed at each unwelcome halt, because my pace could have been beaten by any 95 year old man in a wheelchair, that the radio stations have no musical credibility, and that i was not in the christmas spirit. i dont' want to complain about warm weather, i love it in cali, but i do want to discuss how jaded i've become that december has almost just become any other month. family, meh. presents, meh. no school, meh. it happens every year, and at each one i lose more and more money and more and more of a hassle. bah humbug.
