I honk, kid doesn't move, I go onto the left side of the road, and start skidding with my rear wheels, hit ice on the back, and go headfirst into a tourist information sign. Little did I know that said kid was a fucking snowman.

Crap! Jack, that really sucks. I guess you can go kill the snowman, but that's not going to be very satisfying.

The obvious solution is to dowse it with petrol, light it aflame, then wait around, you'll find out who made it eventually. You know what to do after that.

Man I really wish they'd stop playing cheesy 80's music in the casino I work at...

That's really shit Jack. Kids are really stupid at times, I'm not surprised you would like to murder whoever built that damn snowman most painfully.


Well, my rant for today is that my boyfriend is whining and bitching at me because I had my hair cut and he doesn't like the way it looks. Tough luck buddy, it's my damn hair and I'll do whatever I want with it.

What is it about the holiday season that makes people want to confess feelings? So far this year I have two new love confessions from dear friends, both sober, and one reiteration of a confession made about this time every year since junior year of high school, from an ex-friend who was quite a bit less than sober. I know I'm a bit of a flirt, that I'm fun, and that I have a great rack, but those don't change the fact that I'm deeply in love with Jake and have no interest in dating anyone else, so at best your confession will cause confusion and awkwardness.

[vindicatedxjin]

Oh lord solumina...this exact thing happens to me about this time a year. I honestly believe that the cold winter does something to people 'love' wise. o.0

[honeythorn]

Fucking bastard buses! And fuck you West Midlands travel and your shitty 276.

The holidays make people sentimental I guess and the long dark winter days maybe makes people bored, to the point where they think "how can I create some drama?" Myself I can make a graph, drama especially when it comes to romantic drama seems to peak during the winter months, January for myself is always a disaster zone in particular.

See you had me until you said that part about having a great rack ... and thennnnnn ... um ...

Oh, sorry, I was about to inappropriately blurt out that I love you. Now, what were you saying?

You know what, hun? You are probably gonna get that for a while, and you just have to keep telling them something like "Well, Jake and I have set a wedding date for *******, but other than that it's a nice compliment. Thank you and I hope you find someone special yourself one of these days."

It's annoying now, but basically harmless. When you notice that you stop getting those confessions, come talk to me.

(p.s. - It's mostly about people not wanting to be alone for the Holidays.)

My life is exactualy the opposite when it comes to my holiday love life. Around this time of year I'm usually single. Then as soon as the holidays are over, I end up in a relationship again.

Well at least it saves you some money. You have one less set of gifts to buy.

That is probably it and I know it is pretty much harmless, at least the ones this year are, but in the past it has really fucked up the dynamics of some of my friendships, especially since they aren't just confessions of attraction so much as actual love.


On a completely different note the people who live in the apartment below me just got Rock Band and they fucking suck, especially the one on vocals, although it is still better than living below the DDR kids, if only because they have more reasonable hours of annoyance.

I decided to play through Command & Conquer: Renegade again, but those damned rocket soldiers piss me off by being so ridiculously overpowered against infantry(except of course when I get MY hands on a rocket launcher), so I decided to shut it down.

[Catch]

I've been working through the complexities of diffusing rising tension and contradictions wh someone tries to get someone good by doing something wrong.

I feel like making out with someone...


Nah no I don't.

I won't be sorry when Christmas is over. It sucks not going home, my brother is going home on Christmas eve to be with dad (Dad's the type to throw a fit and hold it against us forever if Ryan misses Christmas with him) so we're having our Christmas tomorrow after work. Then Christmas Day I go to my sister's to have dinner with a lot of people I don't know. Hopefully sometime after the holidays I can get some time off and go home for a long weekend, I have family I haven't seen since last Christmas.

So, totally not in the Christmas spirit at all.

[Anarasha]

*pats Saya* Poor you, I truly feel sorry for you.

[Naked Lunch]

Some jerk stole my leather gloves today.

Hope that helps a little. ;-}

I woke up to a loud door knock and a cop at my door this morning. Someone broke all the windows of my brothers truck and stole his gps....I was freaking out cuz I thought something had happened to my car. I live in a really nice neighborhood. WTF?

[Still Jack]

People will target "nice" ( read rich ) neighbourhoods, because they know that people will have valuable shit in their rides.

[vindicatedxjin]

It's not a rich neighborhood...but a friendly area where shit like that doesn't happen.

[Ben Lahnger]

It it irritates me when people use internet abbreviations in real-life speech like LOL I just saw a movie trailer where a character says, "OMG I thought he'd never leave."

It's not cute, clever or funny. And it takes exactly the same amount of energy and breath, and it's the same number of syllables to say "Oh my god" as it does to say "Oh Em Gee", so it's not even an abbreviation when done verbally. It's just stupid.

Just because it's a friendly neighbourhood doesn't mean it's a safe neighbourhood...
