Well, I can’t sleep much and I’m trying to pull myself out of
depression-overdrive so I may as well share with you a little tale which
has happened today. (Keep in mind my family is a dysfunctional one, we
rarely have dinners at the same table/times together and when we do, funny
things tend to happen.)
My aunt is a once meat eater, now vegan. She refuses to eat any meat or
even enjoy honey for she believes that the bees are forced into slavery for
honey production...so you know she is greatly opinionated about her
vegetarianism.
*Which leads to my first little question, if she hates the taste of meat or
even the look of it then why she will by a tofu turkey (which tastes like
real turkey)?*
*Also don’t get me wrong, she’s a nice lady...just alittle bit strange, but
my father’s side of the family is like this.*
Anywho, the dinning room is right next the kitchen and we see this...My
grandmother decided to take the turkey off the dinner table before my aunt
comes into the house for she gets sick by the site of any meat. My
grandmother picks up the big plate with the devoured turkey on it and
begins to walk into the kitchen. There is food everywhere and she has no
place to hide it and so she is hastily walking back and forth with this
plate of turkey...and out of nowhere my vegan aunt walks through the
kitchen door and nearly plows into my grandmother with this plate of juicy
turkey in her arms...
And so the night continued with discussions from my father about how he
took my vegan aunt on tour threw the butcher shops of Cow Town...heh.

My thanksgiving was kind of boring, and very quietly disfunctional. I went
to my friend's house with my daughter. These are the people I was living
with when she was born. They're really nice, but kind of fucked up. The
father had a gay affair a few years ago with the youth pastor of their
church. The mom kicked him out for a while, and promised the kids she
wouldn't let him back until they were comfortable with it, but then broke
her word. Now they pretend it never happened. But they're really sweet,
generous people, so I don't worry about it too much. My boyfriend didn't
go because he hates turkey, and can't stand Thanksgiving.
Christmas is kind of wierd, too. We're short on money, since we just
rented an apartment. I'm very sick with a fever and an earache. (It
started as bronchitis, then turned into conjunctivitis, then a sinus
infection. God only knows where it will go next.) We got a plastic tree
this year, which I swore I would never have, but oh well. It's my baby's
first Christmas, and we went back and forth on whether we were going to do
anything at all for a while. Because she won't remember it, but at the
same time, you're supposed to make a big deal for a first Christmas. My
boyfriend and his ex are fighting about whether the kids are going to stay
here overnight or not. She wants them to - she always tries to get rid of
them for birthdays and holidays. My boyfriend doesn't think it's a good
idea, since they'd have to sleep in the living room with the tree (and
presents), and besides, there aren't many presents or even stockings for
them to wake up to. I think they probably won't stay, since I'm sick, and
his son is prone to earaches. Of course his ex will throw a fit. She
probably thinks she's going to give my daughter something. Somehow it just
didn't sink into her skull that I don't want my daughter to have anything
to do with her. It's hard enough when the kids give her something, and I
know the ex bought it. Her family is probably going to give her things
too, which isn't so bad, since I'm OK with both her sisters now (she hates
that!) But it's just kind of complicated and wierd, and I wish I didn't
have to deal with that.
Christmas is just kind of feeling pointless to me this year. I always
loved Christmas before, but now I wish I could just skip it. It just feels
so forced. Like before Christmas, you want to get someone something, but
you put it off because Christmas is almost here, or when it's Christmas
time, you have to buy your kids toys and a tree when what they really need
is food and a roof over their heads. It just doesn't make sense to me.
But if we didn't celebrate Christmas, the ex would make a huge stink, and
it's easier to put all the work into it and be short on money than dealing
with her. That's what a bitch she is.
Oh well.

Damn starlight, I'm sorry you had to go through that with your sister
-hugs-
My parents have been fighting non-stop about going to my grandmother's this
year. My father's offended because my mother hates my grandmother (with
good reason), but it seems that we're going anyway.
My sister and I have our good moments (when she's high/drunk and we're
playing cards and I beat her because she's all fucked up), and our bad
moments. She has to walk through my room to get to hers, and I'm one of
those nocturnal people that love staying up very late. So every night she
makes it a point to yell at me to shut my light off, although you normally
do close your eyes to go to sleep and her door is always closed so she
could just roll over, or she says I'm being loud. Once I asked her how I
was being loud and she said she could hear me rustling papers -rolls eyes-
and yes, she will cry about it. ____________________

| Sisters are really the greatest aren't they? Mine wanted to share so much
with me and was apparently thinking that I shared this same generous
feeling with her. She felt this way so much, that she didn't think I'd have
a problem with her sleeping with my first husband. It was really nice to
walk in and find them both running around naked together. A cute little
elaborate story about how she was showering and his clothes just fell off.
Oh ha ha ha the funny family memories of that experience just lingered on
for years. ____________________

Oh how RUDE!
>
Last thanksgiving, my sister flew up from california. We were having
thanksgiving at my grandparents house. She had gone out boozing on a
rampage the night before, and showed up so hungover for dinner that she
spent the entire time on my grandparent's bathroom floor. Then the rotten
sister had the gall to say to me about my wedding "If you aren't on time,
I'm waiting for the march and if you dont' show up I'm leaving". So then
my fabulous cousin made sure to point out to her where the bathroom was in
case "you need a little nap." Then we both reminded her all day where it
was. She was not amused.
She's coming for xmas this year....I wish we had a better relationship, but
it's useless unless we both have two feet firmly panted in a bar. I'll
love her because she's my sister, but I'll STILL take out just ONE
jellybean out of her basket every easter (she's 28 and she still counts
them to make sure nobody else gets more than her) just to throw her off.
That's what sisters are FOR!
And since I didn't send her a birthday card, I called her cellphone and
left a message "Hey craphead, this is your sister, I'm calling because I
didn't send a card to say happy birthday, see you when you get here, don't
fall asleep in the airport like you did last time and miss your flight.
Hope you have a good birthday!" then my husband did a frank sinatra esque
birthday song and we hung up.
This year should be interesting...I sort of wanna see her, sort of don't.
We'll see.
She'll probably be pissed because dad let me and michael move into the
house and he wouldnt' rent to her and her friends years ago. I can't wait
to rub that in.
Happy holidays! BAH FRIGGIN HUMBUG!

My family is in peak form during the holidays. All of the screaming and
yelling and cussing is just our way of showing love.
Except for that one year when my cousin brought two friends from germany
over to our house. My house only has three rooms, so adding three extra
people wasn't easy. It ended up with me and my little brother staying over
at my grandmothers house. I slept in a gigantic easy chair and woke up
Christmas morning with a raging fever. When I say raging, I mean raging.
We're talking around 104. I almost punched my cousin in the face when I got
back home and drugged myself up. She sat there boasting about her $500
dollar bonus. I was ready to drag her lazy ass out to a motel right
then.
And to top everything off, not only did my mother not recieve any thank
you's from either my cousin or her friends, but we were told that our house
was messy. Stupid bitches. ____________________

No sweets for the year? Ack, bad luck indeed. I hope all goes well for ya.
I prefer wearing boots, they're warm during the winter and comfy during the
summer. Also, they protect my feet while moshing. My feet are size 13 so
you can imagine the crushing of the toes while in the pits.

| I've had the same combat boots since 6th grade (now 8th). My feet don't
grow, and i'm short. I probably won't get chocolate this year depending on
my test results. Ugh, my moms out there baking cookies. I'm not even
overweight, so if I have diabetes it's probably genetic. Yeah, "Dear Abby,
my friends think that I'm evil...bla bla bla" Yeah mom..that makes me feel
so much better. ____________________

boots!

My mom's convinced I need to read "dear abby" entries written by twelve
year old girls to make it through the day 'strong.'  Valentines Day is the
worst, and people always give you the sort of chocolates you hate. My
brother's friend Sam still owes me a type-o-negative cd which he promised.
I haven't seen him for a while though so I don't know if he's still alive
or not. For the record, I don't really like eggnog either. ____________________

| Let's see...functional. My mother is convinced she has two birthdates; one
her mother told her and one on her birth certificate. Somehow or another
she has the one her mother told her about on her drivers license She
insists we buy her birthday cards and gifts for both birthdates. My father
used to just say get her a new broom for halloween, cuz both birthdates are
in October. Most of my holidays were spent on the four times a year visits
to Las Vegas. We'd go for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then one
other random day during the year. My Christmas tree was a 12 inch table-top
silver thing with plastic attached colored balls. I liked it when we
started going to Las Vegas for the Holidays, because it meant we didn't
have to watch all the relatives sit around having farting contests and
spitting their chewing tobacco into coke bottles and asking me if I want a
sip. Ahhh...the memories. ____________________

heh, well I'm still up. Haven't gotten any sleep but I'm listening to
Skinny Puppy and about to start exersizing so I'm in good spirits. Well, my
hard drive has a nice conflict in it and I cannot reinstall Half Life. (the
game i play the most, due to firearms)
Ack, I hate Valentines Day...if only I were a caramel onion handed out to
people freely on the streets during that day.
heh, I always do keep a good portion of my memory on who owes me what. I
hate it when people won't return a fucking cd I loan them when they say
they will only keep it for one day to copy! Ack....heh, well, my memory is
sharp there too.

occasions,hehe. We also both love Christmas except my mom making us do
silly shit cause she still thinks we are 7 or 8 years old  My mom always seems
to make it fun for us still though which is so cute. This is how I look at
it...its a good reason to drink eggnog!!!!!! woohoo

Since my 'moving 600 miles away' plan doesn't seem to be hindering family
presence (esp holidays), I've learned the nifty and simple trick of being
at work on said days. I don't have to see my family AND I get paid for
it!
I think everyone loves their families, but love and like are two different
things. If they weren't relatives, would you hang out with them???

I'm glad you saved your hard drive but it sucks that you got a flat. My
brother's always getting flats, he probably drives over nails or
something. I hate Valentines Day too, it's a close tie between that and
christmas.
I'm a scrooge year round, keeping tabs on who owes me what and such.
That's where my memory is sharpest. ____________________
