The Grinch I can't escape...
I swear I was meant to be a cloistered nun...sans the nun part.
I love the holidays, but i hate the noise factor. In general, I love love love quiet, peaceful, and calm. It's why i'll never live in a city and don't go to a lot of parties...it drives me nuts! The more people talking at once, and the more background noise (like TV's and radios and whatever) the more wound up I get. Even something as mundane as talking on a phone drives me nuts...
My husband is the opposite, he loves noise and excitement and parties and all that stuff...I guess we balance out that way. For Christmas, he's getting me a set of really good headphones to wear at work...i'm such a dork that I listen to ambient sounds, you know, so I can feel like i'm coding and/or designing in a rainforest. Because, yeah...that's where computer stuff gets done. The rainforest.
