happy new year!
i've missed everyone a lot, thanks for the good thoughts!
i really had a good holiday. christmas eve, the night i was most worried about (because it was also my mom's birthday), went surprisingly well. j was fabulous and helped clean up and did the dishes and was a great support. there were no tears about dad until i had to go to sleep.
mom and i went to j's family's for christmas dinner. was ok until his brother's girlfriend started talking about the old name for brazil nuts (look it up) and called people 'coloured'. after that i decided to veto a couple of other things in j's family but he was cool with that.
hmmmm, what else? went to a few parties. at one, we met this crazy guy named Rick James (bitch) who was wearing a stolen stethoscope. i started calling him 'the good doctor'. he was very very high and drunk (his eyes were starting to cross) but somehow managed to learn (and remember) everyone's name. he arrived with this pock-faced drug dealer guy who looked like he was on AZT. (i'm sure you're all wondering what kind of parties i go to. heather, it was in Transcona....that might clarify a few things). anyway, rick james is talking nonsense and then pulls out this little tin case, opens it, and removes a beer can bottom filled with hash oil. j and his brother start laughing hysterically...nearly falling off their chairs. i wasn't sure if it had something to do with the drugs or if it was just cuz the good doctor was a fucking freak. turns out, a normal person would need a bottlecap amount of oil to keep his friends stoned all evening and a beer can bottom would be enough to get the whole street high. since i know very little (read: nothing) about these things, i didn't quite get the joke. the things you learn at christmas time.
oh, and the quote of the holiday season (from another party):
was chatting to this guy who was talking about being single and about this girl who was into him...but he wasn't into her. so i asked, "What kind of girl are you looking for?"
and he said,
"Well, you know I just want a plain, simple girl....like a nun......who smokes pot."

Welcome back! Sounds like you've got quite the active social life! Guess that explains why you don't need us anymore..... ;-)
Odd about the girlfriend--I didn't need to look up the Brazil nut reference. I just haven't heard it in decades! Didn't think anyone used that anymore.
Hope you have a great year! Don't stay away so long!
thanks os, i just needed a total break from everything for a while. and i totally need my blog friends! so there. i should be back regularly again.
J's family sounds like my husband's grandma!
And I am that girl - the nun who smokes pot!!
aughra, it's mostly just the girlfriend, she's socially retarded.
and you may smoke pot but you are certainly not plain, gorgeous maybe, but not plain! plus, you're happily married. too bad though, i think a girl like you would be good for him.
a nun that smokes pot huh? now that is funny!
the bro's girlfriend sounds like a total ass...people like that make me want to throw up. I can only take so much of them then I blow and then I look like the ass...I guess it's better that you steer clear of her.
Glad that your holiday wasn't all bad! Missed you, but glad you're back!
Now, if we could get that quote put on panties we could make a million.
Wonderful to have you back Ago-go-fabulous!
glad to be back girls, i've missed you too! .....and panties! that's an excellent idea andi. the quote's a bit long though...
welcome back!, glad things went well. thanks for your lovely comment i totally appreciate your support i just should not of gotten my hopes up, being an only child i really had no idea what i was getting into...woo hoo im marrying his family TOO! ;)
i stick to pot...im almost 30 man like as if i think drugs are cool.
miss kat, i don't know if it was a joke...it was just pretty funny to me. and the other party with the good doctor? once he started rolling a giant oil joint, it was time for us to leave :o)
