Any of my faithful readers have probably taken note of my recent absence from my pretty little blog. Trust me, this was NOT voluntary. My internet refused to connect for who knows how long. I've gone through crazy internet withdrawal; almost as bad as my Heather withdrawals. Scary, huh?
I've been compiling a list of topics I had wanted to cover on my blog while it wasn't up. So therefore you get to read all of them, jammed together into one big entry. But don't worry, I'm going to bullet them, so you can skim and pick out what you'd like to read. Aren't I kind? Christmas spirit, I guess. (*laughs* yeah, Christmas spirit. As you'll read, I hate the holiday)
Well then, it goes without saying that this will be a feature-length blog entry. So without further ado: we begin.
Santa's Dead!:
If you celebrate Christmas, you should be aware of the association with Santa Clause and Saint Nicolas. They are basically the same person, correct? Well, kiddies, Santa's dead. And I'm going to tell you the GRUESOME details of his death. Sounds like a good time, right? Gather round.
He died December 6, AD 343. So Santa's been gone for a while.Oh, and he died in PRISON. Nice, huh? Yeah, Santa's dead. You get your gifts from mom and dad, if you get any at all.
Merry Fucking Christmas.
My Brother's Family Christmas Letter:
Well, no, it wont be something silly and juvenile. My brother's twenty years older than I am and really DOES have a family of his own. His wife writes an annual Christmas letter. This year's was undoubtedly the cheesiest. I am beginning to not like his wife very much. She's a goody-goody crazy mom who thinks her kid that is THREE YEARS OLD should be able to get up in the night and get himself a drink of water without waking up mommy or daddy; JUST because mommy doesn't want to wake up in the night. Nice huh? This happened at our house and the poor kid used a cup from the bathroom that my sister had, for SOME reason, put soap in. Sending him into wailing tears at two in the morning. I just wanted to take her shoulders and shake her while screaming "For Christ's sake, Woman! You're a fucking mother, do your God damned job!". Well, they lost a baby this year, moved for the third time, and managed to book their nine year old daughter's time with so much stuff I'm surprised she has time to take a shit. And I'm not even exaggerating for effect. I'm dead serious. I've managed to rant about his wife, but never really explained how the letter was so terrible.
While reading it, I was slowly being pulled into a sugar-coated coma. It was dripping (almost literally) with that fake gooiness of those people who think they are better than you so they have to over-try to be nice, putting on an air that is so plastic it's all you can do but to keep yourself from throwing up all over their brand-new designer name brand shoes. Eck.
Gay Marriage:
You lucked out on me not having internet when I put this heading on my list because I was full of rage at some of the arguments against it I heard. So, I'll watch that little program that brought it on later and let you sink your teeth into my words then. Deal?
Internet- Lack thereof:
As I mentioned before, I had an internet meltdown for I don't know how long. It's been terrible. Withdrawal and lack of anything to do. And right at the peak babysitting season. I was at home with my sisters for FOUR DAYS with mom and dad away shopping. This is the time when I do all of my serious web surfing. And it was just my luck that it would burn out THEN. *sigh* I think you get the point. I'm an addict. Take crack away from a crack whore, and she'll pretty well die.
I Hate Christmas:
That's right. Bah Humbug. I guess, it's not really WHY we celebrate the holiday. I WANT to celebrate Jesus's birthday. Buuuut all the CRAP that goes along with it that has been piled onto it over the years. For instance: spending all that time with the family, those decorations, and what does the tree have to do with the REAL Christmas? NOT A DAMN THING. Oh, and I AM somewhat materialistic, so I enjoy the shit load of stuff I get.
Though, in recent years, I am becoming very bitter around this time of year. Simply because what they are telling me is this is the 'most wonderful time of the year' and you're to spend it with loved ones. Can I? NO. That makes it what? NOT WONDERFUL. Christmas songs and Santa. More on THAT pervert later. Plus, it's lost the tingly good feeling that it used to hold when I was a kid. Perhaps it's because I didn't care about my play mates at school and looked forward to just the... well, the tingly good feeling. Now, I want to spend it with those I love most, who, are so very conveniently located over a hundred miles away. Merry Fucking Christmas.
Elf:
But, though I hate Christmas; for the last day of school before break, I make it my duty to dress up very festive-like. Example: Red and green bell earrings paired with an A Christmas Story tee and jeans all topped off with an apron adorned with bells that do actually jingle all the way. I was a walking jangle machine. I take every possible chance to dress up like a complete idiot and I take pride in it. Call me crazy, but hey, this is what I do. Did you hear sleigh bells a week early? Don't worry, Santa wasn't getting a head start, chances are it was me. Yes, even if you ARE in China.
What I Want For Christmas:
Well, this heading really has gone to shit, now that Christmas has passed and I actually GOT a majority of what I wanted; save my spending the holiday break, in entirety, with Heather. I never did have much hope for that one. So, we'll move on. It's not worth the rant I had going a week ago.
That Last AA Class Before Break-
AA is Advanced Algebra or Algebra Two for those of you who were thinking I was an alcoholic. Sorry, I'm not. Picture- We're sitting, very tired and very ready for break and it's a mere sixty degrees so we're all on the verge of hypothermia. We're checking our assignments and then all of a sudden CRASH! A blond haired girl in the back row had jumped back because she saw a box elder bug and hit the table behind her, knocking not one, not two but THREE chairs onto the ground in the most spectacular domino effect I've witnessed. We spent the next five minutes in fits of laughter.
Then, while Mrs. H was working out a problem on the overhead, she kept referring to the roast beef of the word problem as Roast Beast. Not even kidding.
The Angel:
I checked out a book from the library to read over Christmas break. I chose What Happened to Lani Garver because Heather had made reference to it in my recent adventure. On the first night of break, I finished the book. I was up very late because I'm not a fast reader. I fell into unconsciousness and dreamed of things that were indeed inspired from the book. This dream was one of those that you cannot get out of your head. I love dreams like that.
The dream went something like this-
I was staying in a house with a kid from school. It was a very large house with a hallway with around ten rooms off of it. I was just wandering around not doing anything and I happened upon a room. I walked in and there was a tall person with blonde hair with blue highlights in it. I say person because it was not clear by looking at it what gender it was. This made sence because it was an angel. It had huge white wings. He, as I will refer to him because I can, was wearing a red and blue outfit that matched his hair. Then the kid I was staying with came in a killed the angel. I dont know how he did it, but he did and the angel began bleeding from his wings. Light blue blood that looked like paint began to trickle from his wings, landing on the floor and staining the carpet like paint. He never fell to to the ground, but rather leaned up against the door. I was horrified that the kid could do anything like that. And for some reason I was terrified, yet completely mezmorized, of this angel. The kid opened the door that the angel was leaning against and I had to walk under the angel. I did this very quickly because it was scary, of course. Later in the dream, I passed by the room that I had been avoiding and I looked in to find that the angel was gone and only the blue stains were left. I was filled with a feeling of dread and relief and hurried on down the hall. I woke up shortly after, very disturbed by the dream.
He was only a dream, but I find myself
missing this angel. Very weird.
Mars Theory:
There's been lots of talk about how we are finding water on Mars making us believe that there may be or may have been life on Mars. I have been thinking a lot about it without my actual knowing that I'm thinking about it. But I have come up with a theory.
There
has been life on Mars. From the beginning of time, we have been playing a sort of tag with it. First, one planet evolves and has life for billions of years. Then some huge catastrophe happens and the entire planet is wiped out. Leaving behind only traces that there was once life there. While this is happening, the other planet is evolving, and creating life. The life on the alive planet analyzes the dead planet and finds out there was life on it once. Then the catastrophe happens to the alive planet and the dead planet begins to come alive again. Over and over again, the same thing every single time. That's my theory.
I will leave you with that. I have been contented now that we have internet working, though it isn't the DSL yet. That's coming Thursday. Just regular ol' dial up. But it's better than nothing. Until later, and now from my own computer (:
ERRO!
