should i go home for easter?
I love my family. They are as every family should be: loving, needy, wanting to constantly know what your doing and what your life plans are so that they can gossip about it amungst them selves and any random stranger that happens to ask how they are...
But then there is the greatist EVIL that awaits a family: THE HOLIDAY
There is such an evil approaching, and I keep forgetting because i have a boot on my car and wasnt planning on going to Mass anyway, until this morning.
"Hi Shann, its NANA (long pause...) just making sure you were planning on coming home this weekend. (Another unusually long pause...) ok hun, love you, talk to u later. Bye."
Greeeeaaaat... whats this weekend? FUCK!!! Easter. Where America feels the desire to hide eggs and bite the heads off chocolate bunnies (ears first) in celebration of something that deals with jesus. most of us dont know what this is that deals with him, all i know is that it has to do with lent, jesus moved some rock or was in a cave or fasted or died or something, and we celebrate it by hiding eggs. Not only any eggs, but colorfully painted eggs, maby cuz plain white eggs against grass arent noticable enough.
But it is a holiday, and thus an evil! For there will be gossip. And not just any gossip, but:
BIG IRISH CATHOLIC GOSSIP.
And for those of you that dont know of this particular gossip, you are lucky because it has the power to first shrink your being into a three inch tall resemblance and then melt you. So at the end of it your brain, including the rest of your body, becomes merely just another unrecognisable stain on your Nana's couch.
If I go down; I plan on taking my best, like i did last year, because it is nice to have some sanity to cling to, and because my family loves her. So the question is now, what to do, what to do...? Should i call her back and tell her im coming, or not coming? hmmm, well i still have no gas money and havent talked to my best yet abou it sooooo..
I WILL WAIT!!!
yet again, disaster is postponed for another day. the world is saved. yay me
