Life resolution.

I just made a huge decision. I am giving up drinking for i dont know how long. Let me rephrase this. I am giving up getting drunk. I don't see the harm in having a glass of wine occassionally, or a couple of beers. I do see a problem in constantly getting trashed for no reason at all and then wonder why I got a B on an assignment. So for the rest of the semester, I am giving up getting drunk. Maybe it will be for only a semester, maybe it will be a life decision, but I am finally recognizing the importance of setting limits.

A letter

Dear computer,

Please do not update yourself anymore. When you do this, I not only get confused, but also very frustrated. I do not know how to work your new version of Internet Explorer. I also don't know why you keep hotfixing me. I do know that I am tired of you taking it upon yourself to create changes that I simply do not understand. Please return to your previous state.

Your loving owner,
Mary

The christmas loot

Christmas around my house is always fun. My mom freaks out and cancels Christmas at least twice because my dad is too busy watching football to put little toothpicks it cubes of cheese and audrey is busy peeling back wrapping paper on gifts with her name on them when she thinks no one is looking. I'm usually stuck in the kitchen, watching my mom mix a deadly combination of whipped cream, pineapple, apples, grapes, marshmallows, and sour cream, then call it ambrosia....and then three days later i'm stuck holding my nose closed with one hand while i try to rake it out while not letting any of it touch me. Then the sisters get here, whine until we get to open presents, even though everyone knows what they got because my mom cannot keep a secret. Don't get me wrong, i love love looove Christmas with my family. They're just very eccentric.

I got great stuff though. A dvd/vcr combo, all in one printer, PEARLS. yup. Then comes the yanno....undesirables. My mom bought me a button maker. Because when i was 13 i wanted one more than anything. So now I can write things like, "i'm bringing sexy back" and then pin it to my backpack. She bought me this because wal mat was out of bedazzlers. I kid you not. I came thisclose to getting a bedazzler. Then there is the Adventures of the Human Body set i got. This sounds like a great gift for a pre-med student...except it was made the same day that God made Adam. I'm not even sure all organs, bones, etc are accounted for in this....set. It was a result of my mom's new eBay obsession.



the only thing that could have possibly topped this would be a "Buy the sweater, get the elbow patches....FOR FREE...We'll even sew them on for you" deal.

tu es ethan frome.

Compaint un:
I hate when you're in a store, working or shopping, and there is a child who will not stop screaming and crying. And the parents just ignore it. Like their kid is not in...oh lets say...Youkners screaming their head off about some toy car that they'll probably break as soon as they get home. Do they not realize that there are other people in the store, people who may or may not have severe migraines, who kind of want to shoot themselves in the face because their kid will not stop screaming.
