I ate a chinese buffet a week ago for christmas dinner. Totally better than some family meal I spose.

My penis is still intact.
I've sat down to eat with my family for the main meal almost everyday of my life. We don't generally talk to each other though.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'

The conversation consisted mostly over my sister's failure as a parent to her son. With both parties at the table. I was drunk on cognac, as it was the only thing I could grab at my house before I drove up there.
Also discussed the differences between the regular and extended editions of Return of the King, then watched some of the appendices afterwards and ate pumpkin pie. All in all, an average Christmas for me.

You want to know? Really? Because I don't mind telling you. It was pretty retarded. 99% accurate transcript:
*Grandma sits down to table, just me and her - parents preparing dinner*
Grandma: "We (me and her) had a discussion. He's going to take me home after dinner."
Me: "Yeah, it's no problem. I haven't made plans."
My mother is noticeably upset. She's pacing in and around the kitchen, with a stern look. I get up.
Me: "Ok, let's go in here and talk. I wanna know what's up."
Mom: "I'm not in the mood for talking, thank you."
Me: "Alright, I just don't want you looking all angry for the next hour."
I sit back down. The two of us begin eating. My dad joins us, then finally my mom. Mostly quiet for a long time.
Mom: "I think we should have a Christmas toast."
*comments, toast*
Mom: "And next year maybe it would be best if we went our seperate ways for Christmas."
Dad: "That's a strange comment to make after a toast."
Me: "Yeah, really. That sounds like a suggestion from someone in a sound state of mind. I'm sure you won't regret it tomorrow."
Mom: "Nope."
*time passes*
Mom: "This is really a wonderful meal."
Grandma: "Yes, you've done well."
Me: "And the company is fantastic."
At this point I couldn't help but say it with a huge grin on my face. It was very relieving. My parents were a little choked, though.
Mom: "I don't think that was a very nice comment."
Me: "What? I don't have a fucking clue what's going on here, so I'm just going to laugh about it. Let me stay sane."
*nothing*
Turns out:
My Grandma was supposed to stay the night. But I didn't have this explained to me until afterwards. She has Alzheimers and doesn't make rational decisions.
My mom and dad are both a little stressed from Christmas. We had several people over earlier. It was great. But things got hectic and culminated. They want to keep things simple in the future, but my mom isn't quite normal right now, so thinks we should just avoid each other or something next year. Which, granted, would be fine by me.

Me, my uncle, and brother talked about Family Guy. I guess they're both just finding out about it. I sat at the kid's table meanwhile. My uncle ragged on my sideburns, saying I look like Elvis and my great aunt jumped all over him about how damn cool Elvis was and saying she has my back. They really don't look like Elvis'. Then we went a good deal into haircuts, my uncles long hair days, military buzz, etc. My brother and I started watching a Battle of the Sexes marathon and naming the chicks we wouldn't touch from that show, since he said he'd bang everyone of them. Good stuff.

i honestly cant remenber. ogh yeah, talked about off-season moves the yanks oughtta/coulda made with dad, mother ragged on us for talking so muc about baseball (she oughtta be used to it by now, nearly everyone in our family made their living from baseball one way or another)
talked with my brother about his upcoming travel plans, talked about another brother of ours who didnt call (he lives in china so gets a free pass, no he's not a commie)
my sister couldnt make it from italy cause the dude that was supposed to fly her to the states had a heart attack. (it was a favor through her husband, they live in italy) i guess she's never heard of plane tickets or something, whatever. it was a boring but nice christmas.

When I wasn't having to explain to numerous relatives that my girlfriend wasn't there because she went back to Omaha to spend Christmas with her parents, my ultra-liberal family and one conservative cousin were discussing the Washington State governor's election.
