, posted Thu 4 Dec 02:51
Aye All,
So the holidays are getting started and its this time of year that I think a lot of us become reflective about our personal lives. So I made this thread for people to share what they are happy about, or sad about, or looking forward too. (And to share any holiday stories they may have).
I'll start off. There was one Christmas when I was about eight or nine years-old. I was sleeping in the backseat while my sister was driving to the shopping mall. While going on the freeway exit offramp, she rearended the car in front of her (because the car in front of her had suddenly stopped). The car behind us also rearended us. I was sprawled across the backseats and I fell over! Nothing serious happened- I don't think. But everyone kept telling me that if I got asked any questions, that I say I was sitting upright with my seatbelt on!
During another holiday season, I was seventeen, I was driving down the street with my dad and this car hit us on the side. On the driver's side, by the headlights. It was the other drivers fault. The street I was on had no stops, it was my right of way. And the other guy was on a cross street with stops. Well, the guy stopped, and then kept going until he hit me. What a dork.
Oh yeah, today I almost got hit by another doofus who was trying to ENTER through a ONE-WAY-EXIT. Dang, I wished I had honked real loudly. But whatever.
Anyway, my holidays are not full of traffic accidents. Well, everyone share your thoughts and feelings! The holidays always kinda make me feel sad, even when I don't got nothing sad to be about and stuff to look forward too.
Bored? "160"

Man, I was gonna say... maybe that's why you're sad during the holidays: all of those car repair bills!

My favorite Christmas story:
The Super Nintendo was brand new right! And I was kid saving up for one, but wouldn't have enough to buy one until late next year... then Christmas comes around right?
I'd been lead to believe by TV that Santa always comes through, the parents, uncles whatever would search high and low for the hottest toy of the year and find nothing, they come home dejected and sad their son/daughter/nephew/niece whatever will have nothing... but there it is!!! Santa brought it!
Looking back I see these shows are meant for the parents they can laugh and go "HAHA! I know what you're going through Uncle Jesse! Thanks to the little accident I too had to spend my holiday fighting old ladies for hot toys and end up with nothing! Have Mercy Indeed! HA!" but since it would make the kids fell sad to see Michelle (not sure why I went from vague examples to being speffically "Full House" but play along) not get her My Little Unicorn it magically appears!
So anyways, I expected Santa would not let me down and get me a Super Nintendo, despite my mom saying "I don't think he can afford one" since I knew Santa didn't need money! He's magic!
So Christmas morning comes along and WHA?! No Super Nintendo, Santa has failed me, what's worse is my friend got one, so rather then being honest my mother makes up BS stories like "Maybe his parents bought it for him" or "Maybe his mother gave Santa the extra money" or "Maybe it was a gift for the whole family." She couldn't say out right "Son, there is no Santa, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before you got delillusionally high hopes but oh well, we're saving money so we can retire, send you kids to college, and not have any debts we can't pay off that's why you didn't get one." she had to lie.
So for the next three months I knew Christmas was a shame and felt bad about it, then mother finally told me.
Also one year my cousins who are like one year older then me bough my entire family children's bath soaps for Christmas! I got Whinnie the Pooh! (which makes so much sense for a 13 year old boy) so now our families have a "money only" rule! YAY!!!
well back on subject:
We should use my X-Box for the arm grafting! In addition to it's weight and potential to stop bullets it has a zany Hulk head and hand glued to it!
HOORAY! I gots Photoshop back!
