But at 21, the time comes when Christmas lists start to look a little different. So here is my “Grown-up Christmas list”, just in case you’re feeling generous I live at the Wooden Seamen.

Besides needing a break from school, it’s a good time to take a break from each other (and the bartenders at The Grape. When Carlos can identify you and your housemates by name it’s time to relax for awhile).

And yes – we will probably be talking about that awkward hook-up with the guy in the Bret Michaels wig.
