I’m trying. We just opened gifts with my parents- mom and dad brought stuff over, and I had to move it to the bedroom after about fifteen minutes. Sad stuff. Then my mom, Cindymoo and me got involved in a triple spoon while watching Shark Tank.

My BFF was all “Let’s spend Christmas day together! Let’s go to the movies!” So I ditched my mom, happily, and then BFF called...oh, her family decided to come over, so now she has to cook...and the best part is she didn’t even invite me (which is somewhat understandable, because she is super sensitive about how drunk…

Here’s another sloth for you! Beware.

I hope you feel better soon. I haven’t commented before but I read about your lump finding and I’m so sorry. There’s a lot of hereditary bad C word stuff in my family (breast, ovarian, colon) and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I hope you got some nice presents to take your mind off of things. Sending you internet hugs.…

Its 10am Boxing Day and I am just about to start work.

Here is a sloth hug.

Elf. It has been since I first saw it in theaters. I think it might be the perfect movie - it’s just so damn quotable!

I’m in love with your dog and his fancy collar! I’m partial to The Nightmare Before Christmas, myself.

My Giftmas plans fell by the wayside. I’ve been throwing up all day, my brother, Busia and mom are sick, I hate a low-grade temp, and I’m still stressed about the mass thing. Cindymoo got home early though, so that’s good. We haven’t opened gifts yet because I just don’t have the energy, and I am drinking ginger ale…

Black Friday two years ago I ran into a high school friend, who, when we were both 15, told me that if I was scared of coming out to my parents, it was because I knew that they didn’t love me enough. She wanted to have a big reunion in the middle of Macy’s. I pretended that I didn’t remember her.

I have a couple friends from high school I still talk to, but the rest I plan never to see again.

What kind of weirdo assholes are running the reunions at your high school that they don’t invite everyone?

Dot Com: Actually, today’s republican party would be unrecognizable to Lincoln. He fought a war to preserve federal authority over the states, that’s not exactly small government.

Did people not like Game Change? I liked Game Change.

She’s not saying that people can’t criticize her though or express their opinion if they find something she writes tasteless, just that she isn’t going to apologize for or explain her jokes. Satirical humor and commentary is really hard. Sometimes it works really well, and sometimes a joke doesn’t quite hit the mark.…

No, she means the general population being unable to differentiate between a joke that pokes fun at the asshole vs. a joke made at the expense of an entire group of people because the joke deals with race in some manner.

The dad is hysterical. I liked that they weren’t poking fun at Native Americans - quite the opposite. They were in on the joke and the parents were shown to be caring, hardworking, smart people. Jacqueline was the misguided, rude character.

Hey, my mom is a jerkbag!

Wait, we’re allowed to opt out of it? Finally. So long jerkbags!

Regardless of the rest of the whole thing, Jackie’s father was awesome.
