OMG. I just spent the day being bossed around by ma and then my sister just dropped by unannounced with her odd guy friend and then they decided to make a pie (that's the sort of confusing thing that happens when ma meets strangers, get used to it). So I've been playing Breath of Fire for the past five hours to avoid talking to them.... dude, wiped out, must go to sleep already :blowtop:
Pie-making is one of the number one ways to get to know someone. It brings us together, and we make something delicious. Next time you must embrace the pie-making! Do a good job!
Also, I went and visited my big bro yesterday. He has a great dane who kept on jumping on me. Made me spill my coffee all over myself at one point, heh... I was sitting a chair, and he decided to climb up on me. I held him off for several seconds, but to no avail. Also I saw Anchorman 2 and fell asleep during Elysium yesterday. My schedule has been busy. Drive around, see people, drink beer.
On the same vein, only two of Grandma's grandchildren helped her bake cookies today. The same two to do it last year, my younger cousin and I. The other seven couldn't be bothered. Something about having a life or something. I only have one grandparent left, so baking cookies and hearing stories is important at this point.Quote:

I'm taking a road trip to see my folks up in VA, I haven't been out of state since summer of last year. I'm very excited to get up there! I also will very likely be seeing a buddy of mine who is stationed up there as well. In other news, I had my first christmas the other day (if you haven't seen my blog), I got some sweet gifts.
Dude, unless you're a baby, it's impossible to be your FIRST Chrustmas. Crust? Oops... I guess that's a side affect of too much pie. :ohno:
lol we have 2 separate christmases almost every year, its a family tradition!Quote:

Well, I suppose turkey is also delicious. However, I will have to consult with my pie experts to discern whether or not it is a proper replacement/excuse for pie. I cannot tell you whether they will be impressed, and if they are not, there will be a reckoning!Quote:

Someone ended up passed out next to the fridge, and another person passed out in the bathroom in a vampire at rest position, lol. I stopped drinking at like 10 because my stomach was already upset, but they went the entire night, so I was in a unique position wherein I got to watch them making fools of themselves without making one of myself :D ...actually that second part isn't true because I have no shame. But I was aware of them making fools of themselves! They also gave me more advice on things, including some insight as to their own experiences, and encouragement that I'm actually doing really well about it as far as they can see. It made me feel better.
Playing Metal Gear Rising Revengence. I take back every bad thing i've said about Raiden, although those high heels aren't really for me :D
It only took four hours, but I finally cleaned up my game save files and listed every title in my collection (excluding PC games). I'm ready to start the new year fresh.
Of course turkey is a proper excuse - tryptophan, dude!Quote:

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that leads to serotonin, which leads to sleep and depression. Yay depression! But is an essential amino acid really better than PIE? I never consulted the experts; we were too busy drinking, I think. Or I was sleeping. I did that a lot and yet not enough, heh...
So I went out last night with a couple coworkers last night to celebrate one's 21st birthday, and the bouncer at the bar made me put my hoodie away in the car-in 18 degree weather-because... I dunno, hoodies are suspicious or something. He also made me tuck in my wallet chain. Then later on while we were inside, I saw a dude walking around in a fucking trench coat. WTF? I guess nothing bad has ever happened when someone was allowed into a crowded place wearing a trench coat...
EDIT: Also, do a good job in school land! I need to do a good job too.
Ah, thank you! I wish you good fortune as well.
I'd already eaten the turkey by the time they showed up! There was no choice, I didn't just see the table, turn around and say, "whoa, I should eat a pie instead. What? no pie exists yet? I guess I'll wait until my unannounced sis pops up and then help her and her odd friend make a pie instead of eating this wonderful turkey dinner right now even tho it's done!" I couldn't see into the future!!! My senses were dulled, man, dulled!
All I'm hearing from you is excuses, lady. You need to shape up, or they'll send you to a Pie Jail!
Now, was the guy in the trenchcoat actually Mac from It's Always Sunny?
Because I would totally trust him to keep the bar safe and secure. Optical patdowns all night!
But really, that's some bullshit. Hoodies are only shady if you're walking around with the hood up do nobody can see your hands and face at the same time. Keep the hood down, or so people can see your face, and you're a lot less shady looking.
I should watch that show some time. My brother got me the first season for Christmas last year because he often puts no thought into his gifts, but it looks funny.
One of the people with me said he said something about if I were in a fight and wearing the hoodie, someone could pull me down by the hood and knee me easier or something. I guess there's a lot of fights? Whatever, it's still dumb I think. Akransas is just lame about drinking. In Oregon, there are all these micro breweries everywhere with all different kinds of beers, and drinking is far more accepted. Out here, I have New Belgium pretty much as my only go to (Rogue is out here too, but they're friggen expensive.) And beer is like The Devil or something; all these laws. I'm living in a fuggin' dry county. What the hell is this, the Prohibition Era?
Oh I highly recommend you watching the first season then. It'll be something totally different than what's on TV.
And that sucks being in the Bible belt with those wacky laws. I remember being in Indiana once, wanting to buy a six pack on a Sunday afternoon... because there was literally nothing going on and it was about 100 degrees outside. I went to a supermarket with quite a nice beer selection and they outright refused, saying it was illegal because of blue laws. It didn't help when I asked how they tolerate living in such a flat, boring state. That day sucked
Excuses...? It sounds like you are ill-informed as to my situation, pal. Allow me to enlighten you.Quote:

These two are on the party-all-night shift, only stopping their enjoyment to glug down some form of caffeine.
At approximately five in the morning, the older of the two decided it was time to start the turkey. They stuffed, cooked, and devoured half its meat by the time mum woke up, which caused the party to abruptly disband. The two brothers took to their heels, fleeing to their individual beds. It was at this inopportune time that I emerged from my bed covers. I found the massacred turkey, and, lingering above it, my mother, who was in one of her rare foul moods. For the next six hours she battered my ears with her "truck-driver" voice, (the legendary technique that shattered that trespassing man from the U.S. mail company in a single syllable). She was angry that her sons had cooked her turkey without mashed potatoes (Law #1: NEVER try to cheat a Minnesotan out of their potatoes).
As the only present slave, I was the sole, brave recipient of our mother's wrath, and I hadn't even breakfasted yet.
During my six hour unlawful punishment, in which I was constantly forced to stoop and clean things that I dare not mention that had been cultivating in that kitchen during the night, I alone prepared the remainder of that turkey dinner, the potatoes, the gravy, cranberry sauce... I alone painstakingly pried the meat from those cold bones, I alone toiled, toiled as the liquid boiled down into a bouillon de volaille, adding turnips and celery and wild rice with an exciting dash of cumin and bruised cilantro... Never mind, that's a bit off topic.
Anyway, the work was endless as I was hopeless. I only managed to survive it by not thinking. When finally the sun sank, mom went to retire upstairs. Now it was down these that did descend the two brothers whose crimes I had paid for, but I was unable to do more than glare at them every few minutes while eating my first meal of the day. I could swear my small intestines had shrunk during my imprisonment, but I wasn't willing to stop eating. So, with the last ounce of my strength I stowed the meal in the fridge. It was then that my sister popped in with her friend, leaving me utterly flabbergasted.
If only...if only she had called some time beforehand to let us know she was coming, then mom might have lightened up a little and I totally would've waited until they got here before I made a pig of myself... as it was, my brothers danced about, entertaining the guests while I swam between semi-consciousness and brain-deadism. Then our mother woke up and came down. She had no idea those guys were coming to dinner. She immediately began spewing orders. "ALL OF YOU GO OUTSIDE AND PICK PERSIMMONS! WE'RE MAKING PIES!"
The pies tasted good the next morning.
I rest my case.
A likely story. Sounds like a buncha lies to me. I bet there wasn't even a turkey. And you never ate a pie. Yer a LAWYER.
I see your Harrison Ford, and I raise you a Harrison Ford POINTING.

You should convert permanently. Linux is great. Helps that 90% of what I was using when I was using Windows was browser-based, though. So many better (and cheaper, and more customisable) options for everything else on Linux, all packaged up to make your computer work more smoothly. I don't know why it isn't more popular.Quote:
