Day Four: Bullet my whole day.

Okay. Sadly nothing much happened today. But then again it rarely does.
I woke up at noon (yes I'm lazy) ate, did nothing in particular for  few hours, took care of some chores and ate, took a walk with my dogs and then watched some One Piece. And now I'm writing this. That's all.

Day Three: A book I love.

This is tough.. I'm sort of a bookworm so I have many books that I love. But I guess I'll go with the ones I've loved the longest. And I say it in plural because it's three books.

It's a series of books called "The Snow Walker's Son" by Catherine Fisher. I first found out about it when I was a kid. My dad used to read them to me and I loved when he did. He's really a storyteller at heart. I still love when he tells me and my brother stories and I think that's a part of him that I will never hate. Anyway, back to the books! The story is set in the north and I always imagine it's like Scandinavia way back in time because there are elements in all three books that will bring your thoughts to the Norse mythologies. In the first book the story revolves around a young girl, Jessa, and her cousin. And these are the two main character that we follow through the books, while they add and loose some along the way.

The books aren't very thick or detailed, but enough to make for some great reading. I've re-read them several times since I was a kid and I probably will keep re-reading them.

And here's a third Christmas Quiz! Rejoyce!

Get kissed under the mistletoe or in the snow?
- In the snow.

Santa or Rudolph?
- Rudolph, I think.

Stocking or presents?
- Presents!

Egg nog or hot cider?
- Never had either so I don't know.

Angel or star?
- Definitely star.

Decorating the tree or putting lights on the outside?
- Decorating the tree. ^^

Warm cozy fires or sleigh rides?
- Oh tough one.. I think I'll go with sleigh rides today.

Family time or friend time?
- Had I had a choice I would have said friend time but now it's family time since I don't.

Expensive presents or presents that come from the heart?
- From the heart. Expensive presents only show that the person gifting doesn't know you that well.

Snow ball fight or snowman?
- Snowman cause I'm awesome at those, while I suck at snow ball fights. xD

Coal or present?
- Doesn't the coal mean you've been naughty? In that case I'd go with the coal. XD

Open presents quick or slow?
- Both. I opened them in a good pace... if they are actually wrapped that is.

Caroling or christmas stories?
- Aww come on don't make me choose... >_< Okay I'll go with caroling this time.

Snowy days or ice days?
- Would a bit of both be too much to ask? XD

Red or Green?
- Red.

Day Two: Something I feel strongly about...

Hmm... I don't know. I guess that would be lying then. Like.. why do we lie? What's the point with it? Almost all lies eventually get exposed and when they do, you hurt the ones you lied to more than you would have had you told the truth from the beginning.
I'm not saying that I've never lied. I have. I just found that I didn't see the point in it after seeing friends get hurt once they found out the truth about whatever I had lied about. To me it's not okay. I've come to have zero tolerance for lying, backstabbing and such. Do it once to me about something you know I think is important and I will probably cut whatever ties I have with you and never speak with you again. Harsh maybe, to some. To me it's how it has to be. I value honesty a great deal, more than much else. It's not okay to lie to me or anyone that's close to me. I don't think it should be okay for anyone to lie to anyone, but sadly, since we're only human, that is an impossibilty. Thanks to the greed, pride, envy and lust of human nature, we lie, we betray and we cheat. I am doing my best to fight that system and I know I'm not completely alone. Others are fighting it just like me, but not even near many enough to make a significant change right now.

For me, honesty should apply at work as well. Apparently or from what I've seen, it does not. Which sucks big time.

I really can't see the appeal with lying anymore.
