A Pat on the Back (Getting over hermit mode).

Okay, so I got through the whole hermit mode month and now it's time to live it up high again and experience life to the fullest again. Thinking about it now, I realized that it wasn't much of a hermit mode. I was able to do a lot of things and experience a lot of firsts... First time to go to Cebu, first work related trip, first time to see this, fist time to that... I think, overall, my November wasn't bad at all and I feel, honestly, blessed that I had a great month.

Every time I think about doing things, I always remember this interview with Carrie Fisher where she was explaining how she does things and that's to death or not at all. I think I'm ready to live life vigorously again and today was a great way to start. Met up with Holly after her "date" with Bob and we were able to talk and catch up. It was a bit hard for me to really focus though because I was hit with a bad case of the blues.

Holly tried cheering me up by reminding me that the Yule Ball (yes, her friends are actually organizing a Yule Ball and she told me to come along) was coming up and I realized that I didn't even have a date to the event... well, I wasn't even sure of going (simply because he will be there) and the last thing I want to be on a Saturday night would be a wallflower. Thus, I am off on a quest to find a date in five days.

A date. Never really thought I'd be thinking about that. For the past year or so, I've been leaning towards the anti-cuddle type with only bouts of cuddle phases during my period. This time around, I think the blues really hit me hard and with everyone having someone this Christmas, I can't help but feel more alone than ever.

So, operation Yule Ball is now a go and I'm to find a date in five days or else I will be going as a wallflower (or with my cousin who will only talk about my weight and not really how he hates my mother to death).  Yup! Let's get this on.

Pumped up,
