Merry Frikkin' Christmas...

I don't like the holidays anymore. Ya know, I never thought I'd turn into one of those bitter old christmas hating hags, but here I am... I'm only 60 cats away from achieving my full 'old hag' potential. Well, okay 60 cats and about 40 years.. give or take a few. HA! It just doesn't feel like christmas anymore. I don't want to be a kid again, but I miss the innocence. I miss the magic of everything, before I had bills, when I could spend all day playing in the snow.. back when only old people died. We had a party for Dimebag last Tuesday. We all drank a black tooth in his honor. Got utterly smashed too. I had never tried Crown Royal, but we found it to be quite tasty actually. So we had almost half a bottle of that, plus half a bottle of my Stoli, plus half a bottle of Kamchatka vodka (sp?), which is russian for 'cheap'. I hadn't drank in nearly a year, so it obviously didn't take that much to get snookered (god I love that word!!). Most of the night is a blur now, except I do remember putting our shoes on our knees so we would look like midgets, and then we took pictures. I'm not sure how many screwdrivers (or Devildrivers, as we have renamed them..) I drank before we just starting drinking the vodka and crown royal straight. I do remember the phrase 'I love you man!!! Gimme a hug!!' being used.. a lot. Which is funny, because I didn't really think I was the affectionate type. Just depends I guess. and you would think that I'd have some horrific hangover. WELL I DIDN'T!! You know what the secret is?? TOTINO'S PIZZA ROLLS!! No less than twenty-five though. That is a definite number. Seriously. I felt great the next day, aside from being really sore. I'm one of those clumsy drunks. I prefer to crawl around rather than walk and fall into stuff, although I always end up bruised and sore anyways. Eh well, I'd write more if I remembered more, but I don't.
