Going to Athens because Creepy Old Guy is coming down to Atlanta!

Naw, family meeting at my aunt and uncle's house there.  To be honest, I'm not looking all that forward to it.  Their house is too damn small for the amount of people who show up, drafty, and my mother and aunt are kosher health nuts, so the food is usually kind of...eh.  Plus now we have a dog, who's gonna be sitting here all alone for a good 5-6 hours.  :-\  We might hire a dog walker.

But on the bright side, I'm taking off 11/26-12/2.  Coming back the following Tuesday is gonna be great- I get to avoid the shitstorm that's gonna hit on Monday when everyone returns back to work post-vacation and shit is all broken.   :lol

Fuck putting it in springform pans, tho- I'm too lazy for that shit.  A graham cracker pie crust will suffice.  If anyone tries to give you shit about it being in a pie crust, tell them they don't get a piece, that will shut them the fuck up.

Also feeling super anxious about grad applications due a couple days later but I don't want to volunteer or do any charity which usually makes me feel really good since everywhere is swamped with volunteers this time of year. I am buying weed tomorrow though woohoo!

I've no fucking idea whats happening right now. Last year I was called the day before and asked to make everything. This year no one is calling us to figure out what we need or when/if we'll even meet. If no plans are made in a little while I'll be going to Fresno and spending it with my grandfather and go visit my father. Screw this last minute shit!

The misses is making pies though so there's a positive somewhere here.

My mini-me and I are playing hooky tomorrow to play and watch Disney Princess movies and dance to silly music and bake and prep food for Thanksgiving. Girls day :rock

Thanksgiving with my parents on Thursday, then our own little Thanksgiving on Saturday to give thanks that we don't have to go to my in-laws or see any other psycho family. I used to dislike this holiday but now I love it. I get paid time off to cook good food? And hang out with people I like? And avoid people I don't? And I don't have to buy any gifts?! Best holiday!

THANKSGIVING

I hurt myself today
Ate 'til I couldn't feel
I focused on the breast
The only thing that's real
Grean bean casserole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember deviled eggs

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest pie
Every calorie goes straight away
In my end
And you could have it all
My empire of bird
Stuffing let you down
Turkey make you hurt

I wear this crown of bones
Upon my glutton's chair
Full of mashed 'tatoes
I cannot repair
Beneath the cranberries
The feelings disappear
Everyone is done
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest pie
Every calorie goes straight away
To my end
And you could have it all
My empire of bird
Stuffing let you down
Turkey make you hurt

If I could eat again
A million miles away
I would pace myself
I would find gravy

Just had a living-room-to-living-room video chat with my US family, all of whom are gathered at my sister's for T-day. Pretty awesome.

20 years ago, the first time I lived in Japan, the Internet was not in widespread use, so no e-mail; postal letters cost a buck to send, and took 9 days to arrive; there was no voice chat back then either, and a phone call was about a buck a minute.

Now I can video chat for free whenever; it helps bridge the gap, for certain.

both step sisters are preggos which makes for fun listening to them bitch and watching their husbands squirm.
my parents insist on watching that thanksgiving parade in new york. i would rather watch football first. and i would rather stare at a wall for 2 hours than watching football....i think i excused myself 20 times just to get away from it....must have smoked most of a pack of cigs.  :-\
