Home for the Holidays

Now keep in mind that everyone else in the family has a significant other. Maj obviously has the Faj, Brad has Brett, Alison has Erik, and Brain has Julia. Andrea is equipped with, oh I don't know, a messed up perception of a relationship and zero prospects on the horizon...along with the fact that she has been single for over a year. Totally fine. No big deal. No big deal until people have to vocalize these sad facts and I literally have zero ammo to return the favor.

Now, Maj and Faj...psh. Whatever, that has been there forever. They're married. It has been a lot of years, blah blah blah. Brad and Brett on the other hand make it very known to the general public that they are together. They are the most touchy-feely couple I have witnessed thus far in my time here on earth and paired with that, they seem to only be able to speak in baby talk to each other. It's not annoying at all. Nor does it make me slightly sick to my stomach. Bah. Alison and Erik, I appreciate. They're cool. They don't rub the whole being together thing in everyone's faces, they're appropriate around the family, they're hilarious, they speak in normal voices, all in all the one coupling I could deal with. Brain and Julia...well, Brain was off in her land most of the time, so whatever.

XMas 2009 was successful! I'm super excited about my new backpack from Santa cuz the one I was using was Brad's from 1990-something and tended to split open randomly while walking around campus making life slightly more annoying. I'm thinking this one won't have the tendency to resort to such shenanigans. I've already loaded it with all of my new school supplies (pens and highlighters!) and I'm pretty sure he can't wait to be loaded up with binders and notebooks. Oooh this is sad.

Also, pretty sure I've secretly won the Favorite Grandchild Award from Granny cuz I was donned with the Celtic Quilt that she has been slaving away at for hours and hours over a period of many many years. It's pretty darn sweet...slash an honor to get that quilt of all quilts. Holy moly! Gotta love the White Tornado. Hahaha

What else...classes start on Wednesday which is slightly sickening. I'm not entirely pleased...slash what happened to those two weeks!? They flew by. Heck, it's already 2010 for crying out loud.

Oh yeah!! I'm going blind! Hahahaha I forgot about that wonderful fact. Faj's horrid vision has finally struck my eyeballs...and Alison's too. I am headed to the eye doctor on Tuesday, hopefully to fix that wonderful issue. That would explain the daily headaches and issues reading the words on the screen on occasion in class all semester. Hmmm...perhaps I was just in denial for a bit? We'll go with that.

Alright, this is large and all over the place, so I shall wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR and we'll visit the topic of New Year's Resolutions in the next post. Happy Saturday. :)
