Happy Turkey to me

Nov 25, 2004 17:47

Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta. And to be home. And to be sitting here with a full stomach watching my brother play Sega Genesis and sippin' on some sizzyrp (*strawberry daquiri). Betty warm legs is asleep. Yesterday was fun. I woke up when Chris jumped in my bed and we had a spirited bout of Roley Poley. We drove out to Bay Minette to go used car shopping. Tom Lyon's favorite family outing. Chris needs one to drive back to Annapolis and Matt needs one to drive back to Birmingham. I don't really need a car, considering I live 4 miles from home. But I'm the favorite child. So I got a car and they didn't. It worked out pretty nicely. I'll get it next week. And then I'm going to marry it. I have a feeling we're going to be very happy together.
Running with Mearn & Coach was fun. Mostly he just talked about our seasons and how in the hell I ran what I did at Regions with my lack of real training. (Beats the hell out of me). Mostly he just made fun of me for being so out of shape though. It's true. This would be a most inopportune time for he and I to race that 200 he's been talking so much smack about. Give me a few more weeks of training, Coach. Then I'm coming after you.
Finally got the Fab 5 back together. It was just like old times. We ate at American Cafe (pot pie haven) and sat around for hours talking bad about other people. The Fab 5's favorite pasttime. It's been a long time since I've gotten to indulge in such simple pleasures. I was glad to be with them again. Mearn, Haley, and I hung out for awhile longer in the parking lot (mostly making fun of Haley) until I left to go to Vince's. An hour later, I showed up. No need to go into explanation there... *nervous laugh*. There were a lot of people there. Playing poker. I had a pretty good time outside with Hank, Logan, and friends as we pretended to be ocupii. (I lost my other tentacles in the war). I choked Hank really hard later on when he reminded me about Abraham Lincoln. I thought I was going to kill him. But I couldn't help it. I just get so excited at the mention Abraham Lincoln's name. (Thank you, Hank. That night at Jared's house was the gayest slash most meaningful night of my life. I did not have a purpose in life until I discovered the glory that IS Abraham Lincoln. I owe you one, little buddy.) We also did the kogamushu. It's about time we resurrected that ancient Japanese mode of transportation. I left when they started watching wrestling. I thought I had escaped the WWF's cold hand on my shoulder in 8th grade. Apparently not. So I bolted. Justin and I talked until 4:30. So tired.
So I wakes up at 1:30 today. I completely missed out on cooking our feast and watching the Macy's Parade. I was still able to catch the last bit of the Westminster dog show, though, so I guess the day wasn't a total waste. It was really great being with my whole family again. I had forgotten how much I used to love eating dinner with everybody. Before we ate, Matt, Chris, & I danced with Taggert como loco. That was the only exercise I got all day. (I didn't even go outside today.) Then we feasted. Vino all around! (except for my dad, who is still underage.) Ah, it's great being an adult. We ganged up on our parents a lot, quoted several movies, and made fun of our worthless cat. Some things never change. Then Dad wanted us to take a family picture for Christmas cards. Sounds simple enough, right? It was until Matt got ahold of an old bugle and started blowing like there was no tomorrow. I had a good laugh over this because it really pissed my dad off. Then Taggert jumped in the picture and displayed his "junk." Afterwards we cleaned up, I got made fun of for my dancing, we listened to Bert & Ernie records, ate 3 different kinds of pie, played some more Sega, watched Pretty Woman, and made a LOT of jackass comments (usually directed at our parents.) I am thankful for my family. I know I give them a lot of crap and don't appreciate them most of the time, but we had a really great time today. I guess they're not so bad after all.
My brothers went out tonight, which means I have the Sega all to myself. It's go time, Dr. Robotnik!
