this has been a bad month. no, I take that back. This month wasn't bad. It was really great in some aspects, in a lot of aspects actually, but the unpleasant times were so desparingly miserable, it just sortof cloaks all of the christmas cheer and honest make-ups in gloomy greyness. My love is bruised. I've lost ten pounds in three weeks. But this year is on its last days. I'm ready for something better.
out of all the things I asked for, I wanted that shower curtain the most! goddamn unreliable giantpeach ordering bullshit.
christmas started shitty, moved into really shitty, then downright shitty, increase to pretty shity, then really sad, then slightly content, tired, exasperated, hurt. by noon or so, it was ok. surprisingly family made things a lot better. family, free stuff, recieving enough wads of cash graciously handed my way for no reason to pay off court costs and go shopping, delicious food made by other people, and finally getting to watch everyone open their presents that I meticulously selected, starting back in september. that made it better.
TOP TEN LEAST FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT HOLIDAY VISITS
- random family members flying in with small children/infants in tow
- having to go hours without a cig because you can't get away, don't have cigs, or it's goddamn raining outside
- watching the same old movie, my blue heaven in my clan
- everyone giving the wheelchair-ridden grandpa throws and neck pillows
- the weird, boring guy that your grandparents know from a 12-step program and invite over for every single holiday
- opening a present in a silent room of staring relatives
- spooning that dollop of somethingcasserole onto your plate to make it look like you're at least trying it
- awkward female heart-to-heart attempts and extended hugs because it's christmas
- sports dominating the tv
- seeing my 15yrold brother rake in more loose cash than me, a starving college student
christ. merry merry!
