What's going on with you?

[GFunk]

Haven't done anything for Christmas yet. Woke up about an hour ago. Still chillin' in my room. Talked to my cousin. It's his birthday. Gonna go to my mom's friend's house later on today. Don't want to but I have to. I just wanna chill and watch the Lakers vs. Celtics game with my dad, maybe play some videogames. It's gonna suck today, especially if I get bitched at for not eating the Christmas dinner. I don't like "holiday food", so I never bother to eat it. Just want this day to be over so I my cousin and aunt can fly down and visit me in a few days, if the flights don't get fucked up.

Obviously we ate like pigs and now I can't move from my chair... and tomorrow.... sleeeeep!!!! . Oh, little note: I didn't think ab out my ex at all... but if i make this thought that measn I'm thinking about him now :smt099 oh, well, fuck him, I'm full with lasagne and that will keep me happy for some hours, lol
Hope your Christmas is going well!

I made Pozole, and my son made Tamales, and we're piggin' out, it's food, but we aren't really having a sit down, more like, whenever anyone wants they can stop by and have some, the boys are bringing their friends over.

...Italians r like that, ya know... artyman:...

Not to go off topic, but yes.......I know (LOL)!

My best friend in high school was from Italia, and I remember the first time I had lunch at his house. I had a whole slew of pasta with delicious sauce, and when I was finally full and couldn't take any more, they turned to me and asked........"so, are you ready for the main course now?"

And that's the way Christmas should be!!

ahahah that's exactly what all my american friends tell me! Like they eat a lot of the first thing and then they find out that there r other 3 things more to eat after that. they come and say "WDF, I went to lunch at my landlord's, I ate 3 plates of pasta and then i found out that there was chicken and potatoes and vegetables and cheese and ham and pie too! ahaha it's so funny. we don't eat like that every day though, only when we have ppl coming over etc . no surprise that italians r the fattest european ppl.

So glad you had the perfect moment you wanted for your mom! And you finally had a good Christmas yourself too.

Too bad the trip was so sucky. Hopefully the trip back will be uneventful.

The trip was horrible! Oh man, I was really scared on the plane. *L* I hate flying! Well, actually, the flying part is fine. I hate turbulence. It scares the crap outta me!

It's so surreal. I've seriously never had a good Christmas before. It's always been ruined by stupid drama. But this one has been extra nice. I'm glad, too! It feels like a movie or something! *L*

DH, I was sooo.... glad to read your post, I'm glad you're having a wonderful Christmas.

Thanks! It's going great so far. The restof the time I'm here...well, we'll see, but for now it's wonderful!

Cool. Glad everything worked out in the end. Sucks that before all the good shit happens, ya gotta go through the bad shit that might fuck up part of a holiday, like a bad flight.

Oh man. It took 2 failed attempts at flying out of Houston, not sleeping at all on Monday and most of Tuesday, and then getting up super early yesterday to get the hell out of Houston (finally!!!!) and get part of the journey over with. I never expected it to take so much work to get here, but in the end it paid off...and I've got a great story to tell now, too.

I'm actually going to be making a little video for my mom. I've got pictures of video from the time I started trying to leave on Monday all the way up til last night, so I'm going to write a little poem (a la Night Before Christmas) and make a slideshow/video and put it on a dvd as a late Christmas present for mom. To show her how hard everyone worked to get me here for her! *L*

Hopefully they makeit. apparently it's really hard to fly this time of year,thanks to weather and such. It's quite annoying!

Grab a plate of food, nibble at it, then sneak into thebathroom and throw it away. so it looks like you ate it!!!

DH, I think that will be an awesome present for her. :smt023

I was able to give a special present today that I had not planned. My guy who's in Iraq, has to communicate primarily via email with his mother (of 63), and he's an only child, not much extended family, and she has never done email till he left earlier this year, so she really doesn't have much help with the email thing.

Well he had sent me a picture, and his mom and I talk and she said he had not sent her any, so I asked him about it, well, turns out he had, and she didn't know how to view them on the computer, so today I was able to talk her through opening and viewing 3 new photos she had never seen of her son, while he is in Iraq. She literally squealed each time she saw a new one. I had to do it all on the phone and it took quite a while cuz she kept doing things wrong, but we got through it, and it was well worth it to me. I felt like that was the best gift I had given anyone this year.

got nothing for christmas shrugs

Santa had a sex change last night. That's me and my favorite nephew (well, my only nephew ).

I finally got into Cincinnati yesterday around noon after a really, really horrible flight. I'm scared of flying anyhow, especially when flying through bad weather. The stewardess called it "extreme turbulence". very uncomfortable!

Then my cousins and uncle drove me 120 miles to my cousin's house in Huntington, WV. Then we switched vehicles, left a cousin there, and drove 60+ miles to my uncle's house. Then I changed, sat down for a minute, then we drove to my aunt's house where the party was (another 40 miles). It was a fucking journey! But so worth it!

Got to my aunt's house, had to sneak through the dark, and the rain, to my cousin's house next door (very hard to not get seen, lemme tell ya). Then I put on that really, really stuffy costume over my clothes, with pillows to make my tummy look more "jolly", and walked in with bells on.

Usually Santa gives presents to the kids first, but this year Santa had my mom come over for a present. We always make the adults sit on Santa's lap and get presents, for shits and giggles, but this time when mom sat down on my knee to accept the gift I was pushing her way, when she leaned over to pose for a picture, I whispered "Merry Christmas, Mom" and she started crying and hugged me a whole lot. I got it on video she was so emotional she accidently knocked my hat off, which is why there's no hatin the picture. *L*

Definitely a Hallmark Moment, right there.

I was so tired, but it was soooo worth it!!!! 3 days of trying to get out of Houston, a scary plane ride, and driving through 3 states (Ohio, Kentucky, and then WV) just for a moment that lasted less than a minute. But it was very worth it.

And icing on the cake is that I even got Christmas presents, too! I didn't expect anyone to get me anything since everyone had given money for my plane ticket, but a couple people still did. It made me feel special. and my mom got me some really pretty clothes that she'd been planning on mailing to me, but I'm gonna take them back myself...which is why I told her not to mail them to me. haha.

Twas wonderful. Hope everyone else had a good one!!!!

Wonderful story DH. I'm glad you have a good time seeing your family . Your nephew is such a cute little dude

I think she'll like it, but nothing can top me sneaking home for christmas without her knowing! haha.

That's awesome. See, those are the presents that mean the most. I doubt you would've made her that happy if you'd have spent a grand on a present for her. Too many people forget that it's the little things we end up valuing the most, not the things with the biggest price tag.

My nephew is the cutest baby in the world. I'm biased, but it's true! In my opinion, of course He'll remain the cutest kid inthe world until I have some of my own.

He likes to dance. It's so freaking cute. His favorite christmas present is this little magnetic toy my mom got him. You put pieces of a vehicle (car, train, plane, etc) together on it and push them and it plays silly little kid songs, like "She'll be coming round the mountain" and so on...and he starts bouncing his head and shaking his little butt every time! So apparently he already has my love of music.

Well that's great. I wanna see what the little guy can do inside a Slayer pit now lol. I wanna see him go at it to some old-school trash metal

So christmas is over, and was all good and great. Really nice to see my brother, and wonderful to hang out with my family. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to discuss things with my family.. they are all so smart and super-educated (both parents are head of whatsitcalled ...institutions..? on university, dad at information and computer science and mom at teaching, and brother is a trauma anaesthesitist just starting to do research in epidemiology), I'm completely lost there.. I mean, what could I do in comparision to them, design a more effective conversation pattern and then make an application with a soundsensor that registers the usage of it? Not much adding to the convo there..

..Ok, I could do that, but still, I'm not the one with the bright mind in my family.
It's very inspiring to have such people around.
It's a constant banter, feels good to know I'm not the only one around with that sense of humour. (thank god, three more of it!)

Then yesterday, I went out, got drunk and tried to make an ass of myself, but epic failed and had fun instead. Except that one of my friends called and screamed "I'M COMING OUT AS BISEXUAL! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!!".. oookey..
Ok, she is awsome and hot and all, but. .. no. And it feels damn wrong to be the one leading her over to the darkside, I'll break her heart and ruin her forever. Damn it.
So now I need to call her quite soon and tell her that it's not happening.

I'm a bit flattered for it though. ^__^

Ah yeah, and another male friend also explained his love to me at the club. Dunno what to do about that.
What the FUCK is wrong with ppl! I'm an emotional paria, don't fall in love with me!
