To boldly go?

I've never watched Star Trek before, but I am excited about this



I'm not one for movie star crushes, but dayum! Resistance is futile...I'll follow him where no man has gone before...He can beam me up anytime... You get the idea.

Site that Julia is a fan of (no.1)

I have a few favorite websites that I check every once and a while (daily). College Humor is probably my favorite of the bunch. It's been around so long that it would probably take months of sleepless reading to get through every funny thing on this website. Check it out.

This is one of my favorites from their video section, titled "Overgrown Guy Girlfriend". So silly. You also MUST watch the prank wars in the series' entirety. And "Font Conference", although everyone else I show it to thinks it's weird..

NCAA, whew...

Well my bracket didn't fare so well this year. I only had one pick make it to the final four, and that was UConn. I just can't bring myself to pick North Carolina. Or any North Carolina team for that matter. I really don't like Duke, and for no logical reason! I just have a North Carolina state basketball bias, and it's been debilitating to my bracket odds in the last few years. Go Michigan!

Caveo hominum

So, yeah, my blog posts have been MIA for a long time. But that is all in the past. What we, as readers, need to focus on now is why has Julia neglected this precious blog for so long? Loyal blog followers, Julia has been distracted by dirty rotten MEN. Something that will distract her no longer, be assured. The previous boyfriend of jholiday, who shall not be named but rhymes with Josh DOUCH BAG has held Julia back for too long.

Well, since this a blog about Jholiday's daily life I owe it to you readers to delve into the inappropriately personal tale of the downward spiral of Julia's love life.

So Mr D and I were going along in our girlfriend-boyfriend life just la-dee-da until I stumbled upon some very inappropriate myspace messages! Jules was left for another woman! ! ! It was really traumatizing. All of this happened about a week and a half ago.

But you know what is great about this break up? How quickly I got over it. Honestly, it was all through having my heart broken in the past and knowing what to expect in the healing process and my AMAZING group of friends who never let me be alone. Now I truly feel as though I am myself again. I feel like myself...but better. Myself...with more possibilities, perhaps?

There is something a bit humiliating about being in a bad relationship. When it is over you think that you should have known better. And you wonder what your peers think. Something like, "Oh, that poor girl", which hurts almost as much as the break up.

Rabbit Rabbit

Does anyone make New Years resolutions anymore? Most resolutions are almost cliches, (get in better shape, get out of debt, learn something new) they're unoriginal, and unwittingly bringing scorn upon the resolutioner. The idea of resolving to accomplish something simply because of tradition seems so uninspired. But I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here (hehe) when I denounce this often vilified tradition.

However, in keeping with the writing goal of actually having a point to my blog posts, I pose this question. Do you readers ever wish to reform yourselves, maybe even minutely, at the start of a new year? Perhaps resolutions come not from foresight, but reflection. Everyone assesses the passing year, usually with a "phew, I'm glad 200- is over". My 2008 reflections were candidly pleasant, and it was the only year in memory that I felt soundly satisfied with. This aside, as 2009 breaks upon us I wonder what my life would be like if I did some things a little differently.

For the Holidays

The boy took me to Disneyland for Christmas after a few heeeaaavy hints and I had a magical time. I love Disneyland as much as the next guy, but every December my memories of the park are like a siren call, and the holidays aren't complete without a visit. Kinda cheesy, I know.


This picture pretty much sums up our moods for the day.

What I've been doing

Loyal readers, cease your mourning for the unfortunate jholiday blog hiatus, and rejoice! For I have returned. I'm sure you're dying for me to tell you what has kept me away for so long, and tell I will. This long month of December has been filled with dead week and finals, family visits, a sister graduation, a jholiday vacation or two, and a very special boy. So please, excuse my absence but be assured that I am back with stories, anecdotes and musings to keep you entertained for a while longer.
