Life is a series of battles. Some you fight, most you lose, but ultimately you do the best you can in any given situation. Let it slide. A missed phone call isn't worth the aggravation. And ultimately, most of the aggravations are small shit, not worth your time or attention. They're your parents. They're people. And that was always the hardest thing for me to accept. But then again, I'm weird like that.
I texted the one person (one of my sisters) who did call me and told her I was a little pissed so the message will get back I am sure. That is probably enough for me. I don't want to let it slide because it shouldn't. My dad I expected it from, but my mom, she needs to know that it isn't OK.
It's nice being a guy and not really caring at all about this type of situation. Or I think it might have just been my family as we never were super close like that. When I am around people who have to talk to their family it just feels awkward. When I was in Shanghai I think I might have talked to my mom maybe four or five times that year, via emails. My brother who is still there is ten times worse. As for high school slooots. Trakiel hit it on the head. Though I also think these were the type of girls who didn't even make it to high school. There was a set of sisters in middle school. One was a year ahead of us, failed, was in our grade, then failed again when we moved on to Freshman year. The other one was in our grade originally but failed 8th grade as well and was in the same year as her older sister. We like to joke that they are still in middle school chain smoking and wearing low cut whore outfits.
I feel like I won thanksgiving, I didn't die from all the food I ate, I entertained a 3 and 5 year old for hours running them into the ground by bed time, drank a shitload of wine without making a scene or passing out too early (I think this is a first for me since turning 21) and woke up to get the bacon going nice and early. Oh and BOTH my parents called me yesterday, being love is awesome.
Spoken like a person standing in a crowd of them observing their antics with a look of utter contempt.
I did get a black Friday deal, but it was purchased online. And Bestbuy actually does free shipping to Hawaii! YEEHAW! It's kinda sad, I have a running list of stores that actually do free shipping here. A lot of online stores are like "free shipping!" or "free shipping if you spend x!" but I'm batting somewhere around 50% for stores that don't have an asterisk and a note that says "excluding Hawaii and Alaska." So far Best Buy is good, and so is Macy's and Old Navy. Target, Wal mart, and Sears can all suck my dick. It also makes me love Amazon prime a little more.
Wow I got shitty last night. I hate wine, just has no appeal to me but who am I to turn down free drinks?
So you southern sickos, how's your utterly insane shopping day of stiff-arming children and blinding the elderly with pepper spray going? You people are psychopaths. No wonder you guys like firearms so much. Without them you wouldn't be able to buy a television. EDIT: Does anybody else here feel to need to a man in the face whenever he says in a sad voice "I have to babysit tonight."... and he's talking about HIS OWN KIDS? Seriously, fuck you. I will hammer nails into your eye sockets if you whine that to me again.
Link? All I am finding is <a class="postlink" href="http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/23/report-2-shot-on-sidewalk-outside-florida-walmart/?hpt=hp_t3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/23/re ... ?hpt=hp_t3</a> which is unrelated to Black Friday it seems. But, hey, that's the bargain game. Sometime you have to pepper spray a child and run off with a Wii-U in the melee. SMART SHOPPING. I hope everyone fucking dies.
Today was amazing. No commute to work. All the patients were crazy (in a good way). About to meet family to stuff our faces with Italian food. NOM NOM.
I'm just filled with family dilemmas today. I am starting this new job, where I will have to dress professionally for the first time in about 7 years. So I treated myself to a few nice pairs of dress pants. I need them altered, I was just going to get them done in the store for like $15 each, but my husband said his mom could do them. So I went over there last weekend, she measures, says she'll do them. I saw her yesterday and asked about them (since I start next week), she hasn't done them. She calls today and asks me to measure my inseam because all of her pins were uneven (my husband and I don't allow ourselves to measure anything anymore because we suck, we pay somebody to do it). At this point, I just want to get them and take them back to the store because if they mess them up, they will be responsible to replace them. My husband says it will hurt her feelings. I am also pretty bummed that I am not going to have the new clothes that I bought for my new job in time for my new job. I am already super nervous about starting so at least wanted to feel like I looked good. And more bummed that I will have to hit the mall in the Christmas shopping season which I also vowed not to do. And I still haven't gotten a phone call from my family. Didnt take long for me to remember that I fucking hate the holidays.
Why not call them? Perhaps they are upset you didn't call them. We had our thanksgiving today. We smoked the turkey for so long it tasted like bacon. No complaints here. Life is awesome!
That doesn't mean they're ignoring you. They may have simply been robbed, stripped naked and dropped off on a dark country road. It can take DAYS to find a phone when that happens.
True, that is probably exactly what happened. Fortunately she was left with her ipad so she can pass the time playing Words With Friends. Oh well, family lets you down, yada yada yada. Shit happens. Moving on, here is a cute puppy.
This is like Sixteen Candles. But with Thanksgiving instead of your birthday. Helpful hint - Don't let Anthony Michael Hall borrow your underwear.
I'm not sure what this thread is about but I'll play... As per my usual I went to my favorite watering hole; which basically means the place with the cheapest draft beer in the county. I spent my evening getting shitfaced over A Game of Thrones before driving home to eat leftover turkey and some of those little rolls that come in a pie-tin you bake in an oven. I must say that I find Tyrion Lannister to be the best fictional character I've read, aside from Randall Flagg of course. If I anymore incoherent I'd try my hand at some slash fiction tonight.
