I love buying presents for people. I love finding awesome things and knowing that they're perfect for whoever.
What I do NOT like, is everyone else.
I want there to be a day before xmas allocated especially for me, where the streets will be emptied of all the morons with their double buggies and giant puffa jackets; all the old people who walk like they're imitating snails but with less charisma; all the cyclists who think they're pedestrians and therefore cycle over the pavement, forgetting that as a rule pedestrians don't run each other down GTA style; everyone that decides it's okay to hold a conference in the middle of the fucking pavement so that nobody can get by, and everyone else too. With the streets empty of asshats, I can probably deal with shopping much better, without mumbling "move it move it, cunts, fucking cunts the lot of you" repeatedly under my breath, or having the urge to stab people through the eyes.
I also don't like giftwrap. It costs too much extra and it only gets thrown away anyway. Plus I'm not very good with sellotape.
Can anyone recommend a really cheap bottle of wine that is actually quite good and won't look like I've gone for a really cheap bottle of wine?
I'm going back up to Derbyshire tomorrow, so I'm frantically trying to get everything down here sorted out before I go. Sometimes I wish I'd inherited my mum's insanely organised gene. I'm looking forward to going to my mums and being fed good food and being warm and having no flatmates and so on, and looking forward to seeing some of my old friends. I kind of wish I could have stayed down here for longer and gone for xmas drinks and the like, but I'll be back probably on the 31st for my birthday or something. I don't know.
I'm off to drown out the sounds of the landlords doing god only knows what to the house (I don't mind the hammering and stuff so much, it's his bloody annoying cough - not like a real cough, more like a "hrrrrhUUURrrrr" noise every few fucking minutes that makes me feel slightly sick) by playing Electric Eel Shock and singing along badly out of tune at the top of my voice.

For a bottle of wine go for Fetzer Syrah Rose, it's about 6 tastes fan-flobbing-tastic, is a lovely deep pink colour, goes with everything and you should be able to get it in yer local threshers, trust me i'm actually qualified in this shit!
