I spent a few hours this evening making Christmas presents for friends and family. I am completely broke after my trip to Sweden, so the few gifts I am giving this year will be handmade and simple. But, I think they will be the most real gifts I could possibly give�they will truly be gifts of love from my heart to my loved ones.

I am listening to Gypsy by Suzanna Vega as I write. The song is so sad, so beautiful. I found out about it because it was on the mix tape in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I can't even fathom the artistry with which she weaves her words in this song. My feeble explanation does it no justice. All I know is that I hope to someday create something half that beautiful.

Now it is time to sit in the hot tub and look at the clouds and the outline of the trees until I get sleepy and collapse into bed.
