ahhaha, xmas is made of so much fail. went to my parents'; my mother was sulking because of something my dad had said to her earlier*, and refused to participate in trimming the tree. so my sister and i put up the whole tree while my mother sat on the couch, passive-aggressively doing sudoku and not-watching a very depressing religious xmas concert ( Read more... )

it all started a couple of weeks ago. i work at a health food shop, so i see a lot of sick people on a daily basis, and i hear all about how bad this year's flu is and how it goes on for-fucking-ever. i reflected on the fact that i always come down with the flu on xmas eve, or on the first day of my winter vacation, thus ruining precious time off ( Read more... )
