Countdown to Christmas- 17 days left

Me, I'm a Christmas-sy person. Its not even hidden. I start singing Christmas carols by June, people hate me, I ignore, and merrily sing about Christmas tree's and creepy kissing Santa's whilst pretty much counting down the days till Christmas.

You know how everyone has a way in which they see life. Some realistically, others in a strange fantasy version they've concocted. I am not that original. My life is played in my head as a musical.

Musicals have always fascinated me; was it the songs, the dances, the beautiful imagery or really witty humor? Who knows! All I do know is that every moment is a scene in some grand musical  of my life...which in my case would be called Some Kind of Bullshit. Ewe you may say, but trust me its fitting.

Like most leads in any musical, the character always expresses doubt, not the normal garden variety but rather the most institutionally accepted one, which is to say self-doubt. To this character it seems like all the forces in the universe have conspired just to have one hell of a laugh at this reluctant hero's expense (yes people, the leads are ALWAYS the reluctant hero).

Disbelief? Well lets do an example, like we're back at school. Yesterday whilst merrily singing my carols and other various songs about the strange things I was doing, I grab a cup of coffee and spill. Clean up. Walk to living room. Place cup on table and spill. Again. All over table and floor. Only to then clean up, trip and bump my head and said table (oak btw). Five minutes and bruises later I pick up coffee cup only to discover the dredges remained. The rest? On the floor and then the sink.

Someone stared down and peed themself laughing.

Sigh.... Now dear readers I shall adjourn to my bed.

Next time on Quiet! Fridge Fear dun dun duuuun!!!


(Honestly gentle readers, you will find that this blog has a certain lack of cohesiveness. I would like to say I've done this for a reason and been extremely post modern, but alas no. It is only because I lack focus (not just in blog form but dissertation and life too), I live in hope this will turn into something somewhat entertaining.)
