Diary of a Zombie Insomniac, Part VI

I wholeheartedly argee with Morrigan. I'll say it again, I like writing at night.

It's why I'm still up, despite the fact that there's going to be a Christmas Regalado family reunion of sorts later (after all, it IS almost 2 in the morning, at least according to the computer's clock, which I've never been able to synchronize with this Blogger's time zone thing. So there...) which I'll have to wake up early for (nothing sucks more than being woken up by your visitors, Albert Einstein hair, bad breath and all).

But I obviously don't feel like sleeping early tonight. I'm not excited at the fact that tomorrow is Christmas eve. And by the looks of what everyone has been saying/writing/texting in the past few days, nobody's been feeling the Christmas spirit either.

Maybe it's the pile of unbegun assignments beside my bed. The chick novel critique due on the first day of classes particularly worries me, as I still have no competent theory to back my thoughts on the book up. If anyone out there has a good idea on how to critique "Gal on the Go" by Sarah Matias (about this girl constantly denying the fact that she's in love with her high school friend despite the fact that everyone's telling her not to who eventually ends up with the guy - typical chick lit stuff), please let me know.

Maybe it's knowing that compared to the Fernando family (mother's side), the Regalado family (particularly my father and his kin) have a lot of issues among themselves, a lot of them following the death of the Regalado matriarch some years ago, making me wonder at how they actually were able to get together to agree at this party, though their attendance later is still within reasonable doubt.

Maybe everybody's just growing up to the reality that Christmas is so commercialized nowadays that it gets annoying sometimes. Like what Morrigan said, night was created for adults.

Maybe I'm just getting too paranoid about things.

Dammit, there are so many maybe pseudo-explanations as to why I (and the rest of the human populace, it seems) still don't feel the Christmas spirit despite it being Christmas eve running around my head to the tune of Up Dharma Down's "Maybe" it's driving me crazy.
