Life Goes On..

I bought us a new Christmas tree today. I’ve been a bit of a selfish pig in the last few weeks, putting my own carnal happiness before my feelings for my sister, so I’m going to try and make it up to Hannah from now on, starting by buying us a tree. I’m so male. I treat women badly, and then apologise through the medium of gifts.
It’s a nice tree, and I have new shiny decorations to go with it, but my fear is that Nathan’s family and beliefs may have affected her and she’ll rip it up and throw it out before accusing me of being a materialistic heathen bastard or The Antichrist or something. We really do need to have a chat about what we’ll be doing over Christmas. The last two years have been excellent at home, but it may be different now she’s dating someone so pious and righteous that he’s almost John The Baptist. Maybe I’ll try and broach the subject tonight, after she’s smashed me over the head with a bauble.

Elsewhere, I’ve started looking at cars again. Emily may be gone, but the new passion for life she inspired in me doesn’t have to leave with her, so I’m seizing the bull by the whatsits and pressing forward with plans for the future. I’ll start by buying a car, then invest in a book about grammar so I can stop mixing metaphors and massacring sentence structure while blogging.
