Blogmas: Get in the spirit!

How do you get into the Holiday spirit? Do you decorate your shelves with fake snow, perhaps buy ugly sweaters? Bring out the tree and weigh it down with sparkly things of all kinds? Do you bake cookies, make a gingerbread house that you're almost positive your dentist would murder you for? Or are you more my speed, and blast Christmas music 24/7 starting in mid-November?

I really prefer older things. Older architecture, older whiskey, older fashion, older people, and older music. Not to say that new things can't be enjoyed too, but I always hold classics in my heart, something inherited from my grandpa. (casually blasts Ariana in the background of making this post) That being said, most of the Christmas songs I grew up listening to were by Burl Ives, Bing Crosby, Andy Williams and so on. Most of what I still listen to is comprised of those three.

If we're anything alike, which I hope we are, you'll enjoy my top picks for this Holiday Hype playlist. Be warned, it's almost two hours long. I could absolutely make it longer, but as it stands it's my top 40+ Christmas/Winter/Holiday songs!

It's a short post today, I know, I know, but to be fair...It took me like 20 minutes to make this playlist to cut me some slack, eh?

What are some of your favorite holiday songs to repeat until your neighbors hate you?
Let me know! Until next time~

Blogmas: Sometimes I wonder.

Do you ever stop and think about what life would be like if you took the left path instead of the right? Or what would happen if you put off doing that thing for one more day instead of doing it right now. I'm in one of those situations and I don't quite know what to really do, the roads before me are both grey with fog and I can't see the end of them anywhere. I want to stay in Korea for another year, I really do. In fact I wanted to stay so badly I extended my contract. But staying with my school...? Should I, shouldn't I? Pros and cons, rights and wrongs. What do you do? I have people on both sides and I feel conflicted when it comes to making the choice. After all the choice is ultimately out of my hands anyway, it's not up to me to do that admin work. My head has been bouncing the two sides around all day like a coin in a tin can. It's just too much noise and you can't see the outcome at all anyway. Life is really up in the air and I feel a bit li

Hey, hi, hello.  I'm back after nearly a year. If I can explain the sudden dip in existence: I was collateral damage in my ex-bf being doxxed! All fun times, good stuff, I layed low, lived under a rock, drank some coffee. And like the cicadas I am back and ready to S C R E A M. The good stuff first of course. I still have the cats! Bailey and Stella are still kicking around, getting fat, starting fights with the vet. I just bought them collars for their trip to their new home: England. I got accepted into a university there, due to start almost one year from now. I'm excited, they're oblivious, it's gonna be amazing. I've been seeing more of Korea, I joined a sports team (Go Gaels!), and I've just generally made a nuisance of myself. I teach all grades for after school now, 1st - 6th but they're not terrible at all. It's just a lack of communication with the little ones but they like to give me hugs and tell me I'

Blogmas: On feeling overwhelmed.

I think November and December are hectic months for everyone. It feels like the world is screaming at you to get things done faster, faster, faster. Especially here in Korea. Almost everyone is well versed on the whole 빨리빨리 culture, where everything needs doing yesterday and you'd better not stand still for so much as a second or else an old granny is gonna come swat you out of her way. Sometimes the speed that the world is spinning now makes me want to scream, it makes me feel so anxious and helpless and I question why we're running at all. I'm guilty of doing it to myself too, as dumb as it is. I've been pushing myself harder in the last semester, in a lot of different ways. I picked up violin twice a week, trying to shove myself into playing pieces before the end of the year when half the time I still struggle to read notes, or remember where to place my fingers on the A string. I've been trying to take care of every cat I can find on the street when I still
