Ah, my crazy parents

"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.

Yeah, I think everyone's studying for semester finals. It's like the dead here. Of course, I'm back to my usual month-ahead on my college correspondence stuff. Advantage of being able to take three weeks off on account of playing Boy Genius-Hostage, and claiming it was an attack of mono.

Yeah but. I'm studying for finals, me, Overachieving Girl 2005/06 and I'm not in a hole or anything.

Yes, I expect cookies for this one.

(Should I comment on the mono... hm. Later.)

Comment and die. For values of "die" equal to "be hunted down and tickled"

DUDE? You had mono? When?

No, you feral knucklehead. That was the excuse I gave to the correspondence professors for why I didn't send in my assignments for three weeks. It's more believable than "Held hostage by terrorist".

Oh.

I blame all these books. I'm STILL counting them.

Who the heck is making us read this Ayn Rand crap? Because good GOD this woman is fugly.

Oh good lord, Magneto has copies of Ayn Rand around. I think they dated or something, the way he looks at his copy of Atlas Shrugged.

Please don't remind me. Be grateful that you weren't there for canasta night and story hour after. *shudders*

Magneto plays canasta?

Wow, that IS evil. :)
