Merry Christmas!

Holidays are for realizing how lonely you are, even if you're far from being alone. Particularly when the family drama hits the fan and people decide to air the dirty laundry at Christmas like a 12-year-old girl. I love my family, I honestly do. But... really? You're going to yell at your mother now? You're going to choose now to be a bitch? It will only make it more awkward for you. Sigh.

At times like this I wish I could just escape somehow. I know a man won't solve my problems, and I never expected him to. But it would be nice to vent to a partner rather than type things into the great unknown. But I guess I mean 'escape' in a much broader sense than that. I mean it in the sense that I want to just become something totally different for awhile. I'm sick of this life. I'm sick of me. As the great Joni Mitchell says;

It's coming on Christmas,

They're cutting down trees,

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace...

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

So here's some more (lots more) random pictures: my attempt to escape.

 People knew how to do romance back then.

 Aragorn is the perfect man. Period.

 Mhmm. Gotta work on that this year.

 This is basically the exact weight I would love to be. Not too skinny, not fat. Maybe slightly meatier though.

 Hahahahaha. K-Stew.

 Siiigh. Yes it does.

 Escape...

 Warm, secluded beach...

 YES.

 I want to be on that deck. With a man. Forever.

 Mmmmmmmm.

Dude! Grunge-era heaven! Watch the movie Singles! Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, AND Chris Cornell are in that movie. Watch. Now.

 Will in 2013!

 Sigh. THAT is the size I want to be. Wouldn't mind a plaid-shirted hottie to kiss, either.

 Matt and Katrina?

 I legit want to live in Rivendell.

 Cutest living room.

 I was born in the wrong era.

 Love ya, Gaga.

 Western love.

 Hehe.

 LOL

 LOL

 Mmm, cowboys.

 Doesn't this look super appealing? I want to be the woman one of those cowboys is riding home to. Sigh.

 LOL

 Pretty.

 My new mantra.

 I WANT TO LIVE THERE.

 Siiigh. This happened to me once. :-( PS, that is the tattoo I wanted!

 Look at those colors! LOVE prairie storms. The only reason I don't want to move.

 Better days.

 I want that. :-(

 And that. :-)

 In this house. ;-)

 Haha.

 So pretty. Much, much better days back then. No one will ever convince me otherwise.

 Cute.

 I love feathers in the hair.

 Winter in the cabin... with...?

 Bright!

 Dude, McLeary house.

 Dunno what's going on here, but lovely colors.

Surfin' Town, USA.

 Adam and Lizzie? (Minus his earrings. Minus the general emo vibe.)

 Dude, we need Disneyland in our lives soon. Maybe just K-Days this summer haha.

 Pretty hair.

 I love this movie.

 Sigh, cowboy boots are awesome.

 I love the water.

 From the grunge-dream movie again, Singles. I love her outfit.

 Good old Elizabethtown. Cameron Crowe really can do no wrong.

 I want a kiss like that.

 Another cabin. Sigh. Better days... haha.

Have an INSANELY AWESOME Christmas! :-)

Love, Hess
