I like the way you think Mean Girl, although i may or may not be responsible for the addition of extra vodka
To join the paper parasols and mermaids we also need the horrendously tacky plastic iceblocks, you know the ones that are like baby freeze packs and don't melt. (Although they must not be christmas figures!!)
I too need to vent my xmas uncheer, while its quite normal to want to delete or severely limit our exposure to certain people in our lives come christmas - i want to delete people from my relatives lives, namely my brother from being within a 3km radius of my mother.
A little harsh you may say, but this is the guy who gave my mother the birthday present of finding him smacked out in the garage.... syringe still in his arm....
mum thought he was dead
Now while most 'typical' junkies (and i acknowledge that there are many users that do not fit the stereotyped image, my brother does unfortunately) avoid all family gatherings, my brother will show up without fail and will cause all surrounding persons much pain and anguish.
Even if no one has seen or spoken with him for 3 or 4 months, he will still somehow find out where we are and fuck things up nicely. Thankfully i will be celebrating this christmas in another state, but really don't want my mother to go through another day of hysterics concluding with her drinking herself into unconsciousness or at the police station/ hospital.
Please bro, spend christmas doing anything else, mum
really doesn't need it this year.
*end soppy rant*
On a much lighter note, who is working xmas day/ boxing day? I'm doing boxing day - double time and a half on an 10 hr shift - huge play money for new years, BRING IT ON!!!
