Aww, I've been spending christmas the same way: watching cartoons and writing some fanfic in fandoms no-one ever heard off. LOL. Aside from the obligatory visit at my parents (come or we will even hate you more for the coming 365 days, because its chrismas you have to show up or the neighbours will think... well, not really sure what they will think, I don't think I could top anything since the last time they saw my tattoos 'g') So I went and had dinner, even was kinda civil to my brothers and then we unwrapped presents (I got an umbrella) and watched some tv, before I could go home and back to write down the smut I've been thinking about the whole time (mental multi-tasking, I love it). So I don't really mind it being over tomorrow.
But I'm really, really glad I met you on LJ, the only place I'm alive btw, LOL and I' still convinced someday we'll see some of your stories on tv, as soon as Shore sits tied and gagged in the closet. ;)
OMG, it really does sound like we have a bit in common on the parent front at least. I am my dad's kid pretty much when it's convenient for him. My mom does her best, but she really doesn't understand me. I mean, the gifts I got for Christmas sort of show how little any of them really know me; I am NOT hard to shop for lol, but I kinda keep my interests to myself b/c...well my family would think they were pathetic anyway. But OMG, Monday (my birthday) I shall get a new tattoo and maybe get my nose pierced to annoy my dad :)
LJ is really the only place I'm myself as well. I'm really glad to have met you 'cause as silly/pathetic as this may sound, LJ is really the first place I ever felt like I had something in common with other people <3
I never got along with my parents. We (me+2 younger brothers) grew up in a little village (little as in more cows than people) and I was a very shy kid. Really shy, scared of people. Kindergarden and school were hell for me, cause I turned out fat and ugly, and “kids are cruel” isn’t just a saying. My mother didn’t really want to have a child (or three) and I got all the blame for ruining her life. My father seemed to work always, either in the factory or in the big garden, I can’t seem to remember him being around much. Although he connected more with my brothers, because of them being boys. When I was very little I was left in the care of my grandmother or the tv, cause my mother had enough to do with my babybrothers (they are 4 + 7 years younger than me) and didn’t want to be bothered. Otherwise than doling out slaps like other people caresses. She used to hit me with her hand mostly, but also used a belt quite regulary or complained to my father until he hit us. Went on until I got 16 or 17 and started to work. I’m still scared

Oh, god. I'm not sure I could ever see my parents again if that had been my situation. As it is, after being basically homeless for a while and some incidents with my mother's boyfriend, it's hard to pretend it didn't happen. Not that I mean to compare our situations, of course. I'm just happy that you got out of there. I've been on my own since I was about 17, best thing that could have happened to me, really, despite some problems I had which eventually landed me in the hospital. Anyway! I live in my head too, and there's really no place I'd rather be. Safer, you know. Even so, meeting people in this way has really...well, filled a void, I suppose. I don't do well in person either, and there's nothing wrong with that, because honestly I've never felt more accepted than by people I've met online

Is it bad that all I wanted to do was get home, play on LJ and talk to YOU?
Okay, quick clarification though: Stick and puck isn't boring. It's actually a lot of fun to go out and practice your shooting skills. I'm a hockey geek though. :) I do agree there are other things to do during Christmas besides shooting a puck at a net.
I got Jeeves & Wooster 4th season and A Bit of Fry and Laurie Season 3! Woohoo!
Hope you had a nice holiday. I got a stupid cold yesterday and went to bed by 8:30 last night. I'm such a party animal.
AWW I wanted to talk to you too, so nope, not bad :) Hope you had fun with the holiday craziness. UGH, you're sick? :( I'm sorry, that is no fun. LOL my new fic is very wine-induced and rambly.
I got my feelings hurt by my boss and I think it's time for me to quit. I will get a refund check from school on the first, so I think what I'll do is take some time off, then try and get a new job in the meantime. If I get a new job, I just won't have to go back. Thinking thinking :)
