Merry Bloody Christmas

You guys are going to have to do without me for a while. I know it's not easy, but that's the way life is. I'll be working long hours every day until (and including) Christmas Day. Yeah, I know, you might think it's kind of sad that I will be working on Christmas. But you know what? I really don't give a rat's ass. I do love spending Christmas with my family, but since my family is not here, I don't really do Christmas. I don't really care about it much. My best friend will be away and I always get invited by some other friends, but I have to work and I don't mind much. Plus, I'm very close to the people at work, so we usually have some fun and get a Christmas feast when all the craziness is over. And I usually wear a little dress with a Santa hat, which tends to be a big hit.

On Boxing Day, I'm off for a week to a music festival with two of my best friends. It's in Woodford, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland and it's absolutely amazing. Seven days of music on about 15 different stages, poetry readings, painting workshops, dance classes, food, alcohol, people, party... Paradise for a hippie at heart like myself. I'll be working for the radio there and also having a hell of a lot of fun and going just a little bit crazy. Or maybe even a little bit more. Maybe medium crazy. Or... what the hell, I might go really, really crazy. We'll see. I'll tell you all about it later. Or maybe not all, but a fair bit.

When I come back, I know I will need a couple of days to re-adjust to the real world again. I know that, as I have done the music festival twice before. It's like a world of its own. Which is cool, but it's weird coming back to your other world.

So don't expect to hear from me for a little while. And don't be upset if I don't visit your blog. It doesn't mean that I don't love you anymore, ok?

Anyway. I wish each and every one of you a wonderful Christmas and lots of good stuff in the new year. May all your dreams come true. And may the force be with you.
