x_maker"Hi, son! We're going to your uncle's ranch for Christmas this year, except he's turned his spare room into an herb garden, and his motor home's not really big enough for more than us two, so if your friends have plans for Christmas holidays, we're okay with them!"
Well. Not like I *like* going to Crazy Uncle Naze's for the holidays, but man, I hate it when my parents actually beat me to the punch when it comes to avoiding family gatherings. So I suppose my stuff's going under the tree here this year. Whee.

Wonder how he's going to react when Mom and Dad tell him "by the way, our son's a mutant going to that school up in New York". I don't know which is going to freak him out more: mutant, private school, or New York.

Date: 2005-12-12 10:51 am (UTC)I wish I could remember. Namshim would know. he never went to Oklahoma did he? or a powwow?
and he sounds like a very nice man. I ain't had a computer or anything until I got here either you know. I did have a phone though. and a color TV, but not cable.
and I ain't had a "good day" in weeks now.

Date: 2005-12-12 01:36 pm (UTC)It's possible I'm cranky about it though.
On the other hand, my grandparents don't have to sneak my presents to me this year. My gramma says "What kind of grandmother am I, if I can't sneak my own grandson presents against my idiot daughter's wishes."

But as for your grandmother, nice one! I respect anyone who sticks it to the man. You know. Even if that man is your mother.

PS - Christmas is always a wearying time. Especially in America. It's so oppressively capitalist and Christian at the same time.

There's a difference...

I rest my case.
