This Routine Riot Is All But Practical To Me
Grandma Joan skirting about my being a lesbian was amusing, yes.
My father's miserable excuse at how he had to adjust to it (hmmm... he's only known since I was seventeen, not that it matters), made me twitch.
Not least of all from a desire to just hit him and be done with it.
Zack and Kid constantly teasing me made me twitch a little more, but they noticed and shut up.
Getting questioned by a more-than-slightly-drunk Uncle Dave about whether I'd actually been with a man to decide started my eye to twitching.
Erin taking me aside for a heart-to-heart sort of thing made me smile.
Aunt Jackie attempting to get my opinion on which actress was attractive made me giggle.
Jonathon, Christian, and Adam smirking at me during above conversation with Aunt Jackie made me blush.
Aunt Maureen and Uncle Mark telling me to get an actual girlfriend and bring her around sometime made me spit out the wine they'd just given me.
Carly chattering on about how all the hot guys are in college and I should start looking for one made the eye twitch start again.
Kristen (who had wine for the first time in her life) bringing up the fact that my only relationship in the past year wasn't a real one enhanced the eye twitch.
And made me throw my cookie at her.
Uncle Mike stating that women don't belong in any sort of politics pretty much cemented the eye twitch.
Aunt Jill seeing my Goddess pendant and starting in on that just made me hide out in the basement for awhile, I hate that argument.
Otherwise, Christmas Eve was fun. Played chess with Kid, played cards, opened gifts, left. Grandma Marlyn got me a phonecard, which I believe to be a hint that I need to call home more often next semester. Uncle Mark promised a game of D&D before I go back to NMU, which probably made me happier than the phonecard. Minus the fact that it was Christmas Eve and there was NO SNOW!!! What is up with this weather?? I do not like it at all, there was no snowball fight because, duh, no snow to make snowballs with.
Giftcard for Old Navy, small bag of candy, and a pair of green Christmas tree pants would be what I got this morning.
All from Grandma Joan and Grandpa Dick.
Neither Kid or I got a thing from dad, but that's not new.
I don't think he's gotten us actual Christmas gifts for about four years.
Going to Aunt Jill's was okay... minus watching Kristen and Brandon get all they got.
Yes, I admit it, I am slightly jealous about it.
Add in the fact that dad got Kristen and Brandon each a gift, but not his own children, and you might be too.
Plus there's the fact that I already hate him... really did himself no good.
But it was an okay Christmas, watched lots of movies, ate more food than I normally do in three days.
Started "From the Corner of His Eye" again.
NYC trip seems to be in danger of falling to just three people... and that makes me kind of sad.
Hitting up Frankenmuth with Kendra, Rachel, Kid, Grandma Jackie, Aunt Cherrie, and my mother tomorrow.
Kristen wants me to go see Eragon with her and her friends, and if I forgive her for her semi-drunken insults, I might go.
Looks like there is now no way to get out of bowling with my father and brother, though I can stand Kid.
I want my "A Bright Red Scream" book, like now. Because I need something stabilizing before a) my family drives me insane without trying to
b) I go to the psychologist on the 27th, or
c) I remember where my stash of past-things is.
All of the above equally, though B does stand out a bit.
Merry Christmas, everyone. *toasts*
