It's 1:30 a.m. and I am literally stuck in a rut ... or a few ruts, rather.
I've been contemplating getting rid of a number of people on my Facebook. People I don't talk to anymore. People I never got along with in the first place. People who made my life miserable in one way or another. People that I need to let go of.
But what's the real reason for getting rid of them? Is it to complete closure? To fully close the wounds? To finally prove that when I say "I'm over this" I mean it? Or is it just for the selfish reason that I cannot handle even a tiny piece of the past coming back to haunt me?
I battled with depression once, it seems like lifetimes ago now, but every so often, one little remnant of the past affects me like nothing else. So is it actually selfish to want to get rid of as many of those bad memories as I can?
After my depression I realized that I need to prioritize myself. I'm not useless, spineless, or worth nothing. I'm worth a lot. I matter. I need to do things for me.
I suppose I have my answer then ... I need to buck up and truly move on from my past. I can't merely forget about the past, it's not that easy, but I can definitely look beyond it. I can't keep dragging myself down with the little things that were. I need to focus on now and the future.

Love and Summer?
"A life without love is like a year without summer." - Swedish Proverb
Hmm ... when I first read this quote, I said: "That's bullshit." But then I got to thinking, Calgary didn't really have a summer this year (2009; honestly, does a week of +30 C weather count as summer? I don't think so) and it made me cranky and kinda gloomy. I mean, I love rain but I suppose I could've done with more sunshine and heat - would've meant more time outside to spend with friends.
So a life without love would make me cranky and gloomy?
Well, it's a good thing I've got a whole lot of love in my life. My family, my friends, my Twitter family ... okay, so maybe the quote is talking about that other kind of love, like "significant other" kind of love. I haven't experienced that kind of love yet, but for now I'm perfectly happy with the love I have.

Twitter Bells
K ... I know I said wait a few hours for this one but I couldn't help myself.
Twitter Bells (to the tune of Jingle Bells...obviously)
Twitter bells, I think Tomsgal is swell,
So wonderful are Esztic and Sirley,
Nicole_honey is a sweetie,
And so is CandiceTanishaB, HEY!
Dashing through the snow in Becksibee's open sleigh,
Over the hills we go, DebsVanty laughing all the way (HA HA HA!)
Bells on EmilyGain ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to laugh an sing arikagranger's song tonight!
=)
I'm having way too much fun with this. Again, if you didn't find yourself in this one, there are still two more carols to come. =)

Merry Christmas [Eve]!!!
I would just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas Eve, I hope you all find yourselves in good company: laughing, smiling, and celebrating. May this Christmas be cheerful and bright and be merely one of many to come.
I'd also like to take the time to thank our dear Ruby Siketa because without her, I would not have met all the amazing people from Twitter that I have this year. You all are amazing and I'm so blessed and grateful to have you all in my life - even if the internet and our computer screens act as proxies ;)
I love each and everyone of you.
Merry Christmas again and Remember Ruby.
Much Love,
- Adrienne
