I really do.

I'd say it makes me SAD, but I think my cache of other quirks and problems trumps that whole "experience normal mental health throughout most of the year".

This is the decline. School deadlines pop up, finals loom, Crapsgiving and Shitmas creep in and while I love holiday lights and a good pie, I hate everything else about the season. The damn shopping, the piss-poor tv (which is kinda gonna happen anyway if that Writer's strike goes on). But the impeding darkness is the shitty icing on the asscake. Thus begins my slump until mid January. I wish I was a bear. Then I could hibernate and sometimes eat people with all the other bears. And we'd sing bear songs and do crazy bear dances.

I can get through till early Jan, but that run of Jan, Feb, and March (with the glut of March Maddness, which I never have.) is the worst. I count the days till Apirl 1st.

But half the fun is stumbling around in the dark!

I love Thanksgiving....

Thanksgiving has always been a pretty measely holiday. I don't even really LIKE turkey.

Add to the fact that dinner time on Thanksgiving in my dwelling is always something fucking stupid like 1 or 2 PM, so when REAL dinner time rolls around I'm starving.

No left overs? There's always a ridiculous amount of food around here. Until I move to california no amount of thanks, peace on earth, or good cheer will affect me.

B E C K · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 06, 2007, 05:11:18 PM »

Oh yes, how fun. Loads and loads of turkey sitting there for a small eternity passed the New Year. I kinda look forward to turkey sometimes until I'm reminded how dry and generally shitty it is.

IDE · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 06, 2007, 06:21:17 PM »

I don't know about you guys but I love turkey almost as much Ralphy's dad.

Turkey is alright.

I may go home to the boy's family this year, which scares the shit out of me since I've never met any of them. I haven't had to "meet the parents" in a few years. My family never really does anything. Even though my mom is retired, she acts like holidays are the biggest hassle ever and never wants to put in the effort to do anything cool.

...Th...Thanksgiving leftovers? What are those?
Food goes quick in this household. We love Turkey.
ANd if your Turkey is Dry, then they aren't cooking it right!

B E C K · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 08, 2007, 10:52:02 AM »

Then I've never eaten turkey that's been cooked right because it's always Dry City. Thanksgiving food is never food I look forward to. At least not since adulthood began.

Turkey is the world's third best meat, by a short margin behind chicken.

I kind of like this thing of getting dark earlier. I kind of missed it!

B E C K · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 09, 2007, 10:43:24 AM »

Well getting dark earlier is great is you want to stay out all night because it makes the night longer. But I don't want to be in my neighborhood or at campus in the dark. There's bad people, drunks, and homeless there!

During the summer I want it to be dark earlier, during the winter it drives me nuts.

Shipley · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 09, 2007, 02:56:25 PM »

I love food. thanksgiving rules. i get to meet my new lady friend's family, which isn't stressful for me, but will be stressful for them.

IDE · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 09, 2007, 03:11:29 PM »

Yeah I wish we had more day time in winter.

Why the fuck are your murderers coming down here to hide out? We have enough as is.

Of the blood of those you kill?

Derrick · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 11, 2007, 07:21:42 AM »

To anyone that doesn't know, some dude killed a cop in Philly, and they found him a couple of days later in a Miami homeless shelter. WTF!?

B E C K · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 11, 2007, 07:34:19 PM »

I don't know if it was suppose to make me feel safer or what that Philly has 1500-something murders, but SA's on that list, too, so it doesn't. Not to mention the two runners-up are just down the street, so to speak. I wonder where Chicago would've been ranked.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 12, 2007, 06:47:45 PM »

Yeah this darn place is getting worse and worse. Soon the real estate will decrease and Philly will be the new Detroit! And then I'll buy everything and become the next Donald Dumps.

Didn't something like that happen on the Shield?

IDE · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 12, 2007, 09:49:40 PM »

The producer of the shield is on strike and may miss the taping of his series finale.

Derrick · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 13, 2007, 09:15:56 AM »

Hahaha, oh wow.

When artists become workers.

B E C K · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 13, 2007, 04:35:34 PM »

I always want to call that show "The Panty Shield".

I always wanted to call you "stupid"

I thought you already had. Dumbass.
