Happy 2011, everyone --- I hope the New Year has been as good to all of mallorymaloney.com's visitors as it has been to Mallory Maloney thus far! ^o^

Aside from the fact that I've been overwhelmingly busy since the first of the month, that is. x_X; Even as I type this, I'm doing approximately fourteen thousand other things at once ... And for each of those fourteen thousand things I'm doing, I'm thinking about doing seventeen thousand more. Ack! @_@;

Other than being wildly busy, though, ((And other than waking up on the first of January with a horribly full blown cold, which, thankfully, abated as the next couple days passed,)) 2011 has been pretty damn good to me, overall! I mean, let's face it, feeling stressed out from being busy is leagues better than feeling stressed out from being bored, right? ^^;

Still, though, there's so much coming up in my life that I have to prepare for, it's ridiculous. Plus I'm still trying to finished things that I should've completed last month, to boot! v_v;

Needless to say, my To Do List is impressive --- In a monstrously frightening sort of way, that is. I've got atrociously late Christmas presents to make and send, birthday presents and a card to make and send, ((These two items alone require sub To Do Lists attached just below them,)) My entire room needs a humongous tidying and cleaning session, ((All the presents I received for Christmas are piled anywhere and everywhere,)) I need to plan what I'm going to wear, bring, and buy and bring to New York City to see the American Idiot Musical for the second time on 26 January ...

;She takes a deep breath and continues, her eyes growing unnaturally large and filling up with comical tears.;

... I need to plan two, possibly three more additional events coming up in the first half of this year, ((I'd elaborate as to what the events are, but I don't wanna use up all my exciting blog topics for the entire year in the first five days, haha!)) I need to finish editing a video that I wanted to upload to mallorymaloney.com for the last few freakin' months, multiple pages around mallorymaloney.com are in desperate need of an update, ((For example, my Wishlist and Movies I Must See pages,)) All of the Read Me files packaged with all of the ZIP files in the Downloads section need to be rewritten ...

;She holds in a round of sobs as she continues to list everything that she needs to attend to, shuffling sideways back and forth across the room as she flails her arms about in a distressed manner.;

... I need to take a photo of myself wearing the 'tribal fang' necklace I won from VampireWear.Com last month so that I can be included on their Vampire Tribe page, I need to choose, resize and upload a new user picture that isn't atrociously outdated to Twitter, YouTube, and the rest of the sites I use online that require the user to upload a photo of themselves to be used as an avatar, and, of course, I have mallorymaloney.com's blogs to write and comments to return each week! ;_;

;She crouches in a dark corner whilst rubbing her running eyes and nose in a clumsy manner, reduced to a whimpering heap.;

... Plus, I have my weekly and daily household chores and duties to complete, which include babysitting my three younger brothers for entirety of every single day, ((Again, this item alone requires a miniature To Do List beneath it, because I have to make sure they always complete their chores and duties every day, as well,)) Making supper every weeknight, helping out in my family's locksmith every day, vacuuming and cleaning the upstairs, downstairs, downstairs bathroom, and shop every couple of days, keeping an eye on the laundry, ((Thankfully, my Mum takes care of most of the laundry, or I'd really be fucked,)) And generally keeping the house in order.

And in case you're wondering why I'm in charge of all these things, it's because my Mum and Dad both work full time, ((My Mum in the salon she owns and runs, as well as a newly acquired job she has at a natural heath supplement superstore, and my Dad in the locksmith shop he owns and runs,)) And thus are unable to do much of it themselves. And even though my oldest youngest brother, Cameron, is eighteen, he's incapable of being in charge of much of anything, as he's extremely immature. I don't normally approve of using this word, as it seems hypocritical considering I'm extremely immature myself ... But compared to my brother, I've got the mindset of a forty year old. o_O;

And, worst of all, I've been dying to draw new drawings and paint new paintings and create new creations and write new writings and sing new songs and read new books and watch new episodes of Family Guy and iCarly and various anime series for what seems like an eternity, but I can't see wasting any of my time doing so when I have such a massive list of other, more 'important' things that need near immediate tending to! T_T;

;She suddenly jumps up from the corner she was previously crouching in, screwing up her face and smashing her limbs into every available surface whilst screaming at the top of her lungs --- A full blown temper tantrum.;

AAARRRGGGHHH! IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S NOT FAIR I NEVER HAVE ANY TIME FOR MYSELF ALL I DO IS WORK WORK WORK AND WHAT DO I GET OUT OF IT NOTHING THAT'S WHAT IT'S NOT FAIR NOT FAIR I TELL YOU AND I WON'T HAVE IT I'LL HAVE NONE OF IT I WON'T HAVE A FRACTION MORE OF IT AND I'LL DO NOTHING AND SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT THEN!

;She stomps around in a circle for a several minutes after this rather violent outburst, all while muttering darkly about her plans of mass murder and other equally illegal yet rage reducing activities.;

=_=

>_>;

o_o

... Okay, so now that I have lots of quickly purpling bruises, surface cuts, and multiple yet minor bone fractures, I'm gonna head on over to the hospital, get patched up real quick, and then get back to tacklin' my To Do List.

;She skips off in a gimpy yet cheerful sort of way.;
