Oh, the joys of extended four-day vacations at home for the holidays. My wonderful, wonderful boss gave me an extra day off. I have been on hiatus from the Internet world since then, which was surely deserved. Now if I could ask you all a small favour: STOP UPDATING YOUR BLOGS. I can’t keep up. It’s stressing me out.
I’m headed back to St. John’s tomorrow, but I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Happy New Year. Feliz Navidad? Bonne fete!
It’s been a great few days off, although not nearly as exciting as I expected. I miss my best friend. Last night I went to see Greener perform at the Warehouse, and I felt incredibly out of place. Fortunately, that feeling tends to disappear (as does all others) after drinking a dozen of beers and multiple shooters. I totally fooled my mother into thinking I was sober when I stumbled home at 3:00 a.m. though. Oh yeah, still got it.
Warehouse love!
Example of small town life: I was standing around talking to some friends, when we realized we were all first cousins. Cameras immediately appeared.
I received some sweet swag this year, although I’ve been really trying to take the less materialistic route lately. Everything just seems so wasteful, or maybe it’s because I’m broke. I bought such crappy presents for my family, and then left my brother’s package in St. John’s. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS. I am not joking. Boy, did my mother ever complain.
So I asked for all practical stuff, like window curtains and a sleeping bag. But I was really, really looking forward to a bottle of Dior Midnight Poison perfume. It was like…my one big gift, y’know? I thought for SURE I had it. I unwrapped present after present and each time expected it to be THE motherload, and it never was. I remember my genuine shock when I reached the end of my pile. I felt like a kid receiving a jigsaw puzzle instead of a bouncy castle. It was awful, I became emotional, and I have been punching myself in the face since then for being such an irrational bitch. My parents work hard to do nice things for me.
That being said, fuck materialism. I need some retail therapy.
My "little" bro and I, having a green Christmas
materialistic or not – that’s a cute coat you have on! and your brother’s face is priceless.
I think all brothers have to look pissed off in family pictures.
It’s just how they do.
Cute coat, boots and brother and wow no snow I didn’t expect that.
Are those the new boots? Super cute.
My mom gave me the “it’s ok that you’re gay” speech over the holidays and that I hope I adopt a baby girl so she can have a granddaughter. Ah, mom.
It didn’t help that my laptop’s screensaver is a pic of me and my girl friend making out.
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ‘0 which is not a hashcash value.
Huh, so it's a thing for ALL little brothers to look grumpy and sullen in photos
Alternatively, since you look a bit hesitant, maybe it was just cold.
Edit: Just realised that J said exactly the same thing. Great minds?
