one lonely success

so today begins the first of my xmas obligations.

as I write, i’m at grandma #1’s and smiling nicely for distant relatives who i cannot stand and who cannot stand me. i would say that we all get together for my grandma’s sake, but she knows we all hate each other too. nonetheless, each year we get together to see who’s packed on the pounds from one too many night’s at the local saloon and who’s shed one too many pounds from the crack pipe.

the good news is that by xmas day, i’ll actually be able to spend the holiday w/ my parents, sister and brother-in-law, the people i actually consider family and actually enjoy spending time with.

for now, i’ve spent too long in the back bedroom with my laptop and need to return to the hell that is xmas gathering #1. afterall, i wouldn’t want to be rude.
