What are your plans for the holidays?

We're going to Austria!

Visit my parents. Nothing more, nothing less.

Going to the Getty villa, I hope

Sorry Dude.

Christmas Day:
5-7am: get woken up by the kids to open presents.
7am: finally succumb and get out of bed.
8am: finally become conscious while showering and getting ready for the rest of the day.
9am: leave for Rachel's parents' house for her family get-together.
9:30am: arrive at Rachel's parents' house
11am: leave Rachel's parents to go to my side of the family's get-together at my sister's house.
11:30am: arrive at my sister's.
4pm: leave to return to Rachel's parents' house.
9pm: leave to return home.

Christmas Day is always so exhausting!

New Year's Eve:
Travel an hour for a family reunion on Rachel's side of the family (the side that didn't get together over Christmas)
Somehow celebrate my birthday in there.

New Year's Day:
Watch the Rose Bowl Parade for the Star Wars section.
Play my new computer game(s) the rest of the day.

Not buy too many Christmas presents for my mother and her for me, then have a big shopping trip when the sames start.

Spend Christmas day with my Ma, eating and chilling.

Study. Exams in January. just cause you get 2 weeks off doesnt mean you get 2 weeks off!

evenstar3 said:

Yeah, we have new classes in Feb....but both are irrelevant really at the moment, as I don't have many classes anymore as Im expected to write a thesis!

So still.... "study"

Where are you going in Austria?

2the9s said:

IrresistibleB1tch said:

I have wanted to go to Austria myself. My friend is from Gratz. But you're better off going to VIenna!

superspaceboy said:

go visit!! we haven't been to Graz yet, but i hear it's gorgeous!

IrresistibleB1tch said:

We'll be not far from Salzburg!

superspaceboy said:

No! Don't! It's horrible! They have diseases and you can't drink the water there etc.!

2the9s said:

IrresistibleB1tch said:

My father in law plays the organ there.

I shit you not.

the usual: stay at home, be bored, bitch about how there's nothing to do since everything's closed on x-mas day.

2the9s said:

cool!

and what do you play?

IrresistibleB1tch said:

I play at liking organ music.

taking out these braids once and for all to let my dreadlocs breathe...
i don't really want to do anything, the holidays depress me.

My super fun Xmas stuff is tomorrow!
endorphin74's annual hollydaze bash. 30 of our closest friends, lots of drinks, treats, gifts and merriment. I will be mulling wine. There will be egg nog and other festive drinks.
I've been shopping for the last 5 hours to put my outfit together and I'm still not done!! It's hard work to look so cute. Why is it when you have no money to shop and are just along with a friend for fun you find a million things you want, but when you go out shopping looking for specific items of clothing to fit a particular outfit you can't find a damn thing!?!?


And on Xmas eve I will likely spend the night at my parent's house, just me and my mom and dad and since my grandma died we somehow or another started a weird tradition of eating crab legs on Xmas eve. I don't know why, but my mom makes it every year now. On Xmas day my brother and his family will come over and we'll all open gifts and such and my mom will make way too much food. And then I'll go home and maybe go out dancing.

eh, same here--although for me it would be nice to at least have someone around to hang out with during the holidays for once, since i've no family here in minnesota and can't afford to go back home (and even if i could i'd just wanna see my dad--the rest of my family can fuck off).

being alone is bothersome.
