| Take the link! |
| 12.30.03 (12:11 pm) [edit] |
BTW, for some fun, take that link (over on the left) to emotioneric.com: "Eric Conveys An Emotion." It's one of my favorite (and internationally famous!) cheesy and loads of fun websites on the entire 'net. Enjoy!
PS: scroll down Eric's list of conveyed emotions (appx 3/4 of the way down) to "Running With Scissors," that's one of my favs. Tee hee! Also "Caffeinated."

| I Need A Vacation |
| 12.30.03 (9:30 am) [edit] |
I [i]SO[/i] need to get outta town! This morning I realized that since I moved here in late 1999 I haven't really been out of the area at all. I need to get out of here. For a few days at least.
That is, I've been up to about 100 miles away and in different cities, even for weekends at a time, but these trips were always to familiar places (usually visiting friends). I mean I need to get [i]out of state[/i] or something. Or to a huge city (I feel "at home" in the biggest cities; I'm definitely a city guy).
And right now, with Jan 1st & 2nd off from work, I could sneak in a couple extra days away without using up accrued vacation time. How perfect! But have I planned anything? Nope.
So like on New Year's Eve a friend expects that I'll be there, but this idea is really boring to me. I need something new, especially on New Year's Eve. Doing something new on New Year's Eve has always been symbolic for me.
I mean, I [b][i]REALLLLLY[/i][/b] need to get away! :shock:

| Christmas Was Finally Alright! |
| 12.29.03 (10:46 pm) [edit] |
Now that I'm old, my family kinda got Christmas sorta ok. I mean, I didn't hate it and didn't roll my eyes (as much :roll: ) this year and crave to get out of there.
My aging mother finally got me things I actually wanted instead of crap that I would smirk at and dismiss with some kind of playful comment (so I wouldn't appear TOO spoiled and ungrateful).
My sister cooked and was sorta normal (after all those years of drinking too much and abandoning her kid). All my nephews & nieces (my sister's kids - - four kids from three guys) now live near their grandma (my mom) and I asked mom about that. Does she like having all these people around? She said, [i]"Well, it's different. Everyone lives within about a mile from here and everyone's working and taking care of themselves. It's kind of nice for a change!"[/i]
Believe me, this is a big accomplishment in my family. So, now that I'm old (and I'm the youngest of mom's kids), it seems that we may finally be getting a bit of a clue about how to do it nicely. It wasn't great or "Norman Rockwell" all-americanesque, but for this broken family it's the best we've done in a few decades.

| Holy Alzheimers Batman, I'm Old! |
| 12.29.03 (6:25 pm) [edit] |
As they say: crap!
What happened? I was going along just fine and suddenly everyone is younger than me. And people in the age-range I was always comfortable being suddenly are calling me old n shit. I don't look old. I don't feel old. [i]I don't want to be old![/i]
Am I supposed to be all grown up now? How the hell do I do that? People expect it of me when the hear my age (but don't see me - - like on blogs and in chatrooms), but I don't feel like I belong among those old farts! [i]That's not me![/i]
I don't know how to BE old! For chrissakes!
WTF?!
