normally i'd post it on the day, but i forgot this time.

yeeeeeeah. my day was alright. we didn't have a family get together, which was a weird change. it'd been years since we last spent most of the day in our own home on christmas day. 

kind of not looking forward to next year as much as i was, because christmas day was just that nice. still expecting presents so i guess it's not all that bad~ 

i guess it's another one of ~those~ posts. i'm not even sure if people read these any more, but i enjoy doing them every once in a while.

though i feel it's going to be just like the last post. yeah, been super busy with uni stuff. last week i went to sheffield for a documentary shoot. it was alright. kind of awkward, due to people. but i think we got the work we needed. spent quite a bit of time this week editing that footage. editing always gets me hyper. i thought it was only after a few hours, but this time around, i've been laughing at nothing almost immediately. i guess it means people see me less shy, which is always good.

i went to see rancid a few nights ago. it'd been 4 years since i last saw them, and it was weird. each member of the band have changed a lot, apart from matt i guess. i accidentally ended up at the barrier, which i didn't expect at all. the last time, we were sitting quite a bit back, so it was a nice change.

and a few weeks ago, i saw frank turner. it was my first gig alone (aside from henry rollins at the beginning of the year, but i dunno if that counts) which was weird. i kind of wasn't looking forward to it. people at gigs are  more annoying when you're alone. but aside from that, it wasn't too bad. i really enjoyed the support act, who was a singer called tim barry. i think if i didn't go and didn't discover him, i would be a bit sad.

other than that. snow. struggling with script. struggling with christmas shopping. looking forward for time off, but in a way not because i know i still have mega work to do.
