What do you most want for Christmas?

Same as last year, a cheese basket…I’ve got my eye on a real nice one… nice selection, a little bit of sausage and nuts…except I just found out that I’m lactose intollerant, so a cheese basket and those pills that will let me eat it without imploding…

How will you be spending the Holiday’s this year? / What will you be doing for New Years Eve?

For Christmas, going back to the folks place to chop some wood and relax a bit. For New years, I think my girlfriend and I are going to stay in and watch movies, I usually prefer to hibernate for new years, the holidays are my time to rest…

What are you most looking forward to in 2006?

If all goes well, I’ll be living in NYC with my girlfriend in september, I’m super excited, and super worried about the $$$...
