[Damini]

It's been Christmas day for, oooh, nearly 24 hours now, and I'm done. I've started digging a hole using spoons to the outside world, and hiding my progress behind the xmas tree. Luckily I don't have to do that whole "weird baggy trousers, dispose of mud" thing, cos I'm not getting anywhere. I'm trapped. I can't feign enthasiasm for my collection of toothbrushes and black eyeliner I've got this year, let alone the Pasta Cook Book (ooh, those mysteries revealed!!). I can't get drunk because it feels horribly weird getting drunk with my parents, not least because it makes me swear like a trooper and chain smoke, and despite being 23 next week I still try to pretend Im a non smoking virginal golden child. They don't believe a word of it but it makes for safer waters. My only distraction is this heap of shite computer, which is running slower than a brain damaged Koala. I've taken to colouring in with felt pens to pass the time between each screen loading.

Is anybody else in the same boat? My whole family has developed a weird narcolepsy that means they are taking it in turns to snore loudly through whatever shite on tv we are watching. Yeah, I'm being a misery, but damnit, I want a cigarette and I want adsl back!

You hit it right on the head

I so wanna get plastered but it's so weird getting ratted at home. The nicotine cravings I can deal with, but the whole drink thing... especially as everyone else seems to be getting drunk...

GAHHH!

I guess I'm lucky. I was with my family this morning, then my girlfriend's family this evening. This means I was able to manufacture an extended 'transitional' period in which I was able to chain smoke, post on here, play DoD and generally have a break. I needed it.

I made the mistake of buying both sets of parents the Essex edition of Monopoly (they like that sort of thing). What I didn't consider is that I'd have to play a game of the bloody thing with each family group. What's also depressing is that the place where I work is in the spot Whitechapel Road should be. That's the second cheapest on the board, fs.

Still, I'm done now. Home again for more chain smoking, posting and DoD.

Damini - You're only 14 feet from the trees. I suggest you close off Tom and Dick and concentrate all efforts on Harry. Tonight... we dig.

Christmas day is the longest, most boring and unbearably tedious day ever, closely followed by Boxing day.

Gah fuck, I need a smoke.

 

[Damini]

You may have to go on without me... I'm a broken woman. I'd only slow you down or alert their attention.

However, I have a cigarette break planned for 1am when everyone is in bed. We shall slip past the guard and rendezvous in the back garden. Avoid the dog shit in the poor light - a trail of incriminating poo prints may well attract unwanted inquiries... And wrap warm. That new hat granny made you should do.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Oh I fucking hear you. I cannot wait for these fuckers to go to bed. Annoying thing is, it'll be later than usual as the day is longer... about 1am here too.... heart.... failing...

 

[Summo]

Hmm... think I might just... roll another.

*inhale*

*hold*

*eeeeeeeeeexhhhhhhaaaaale*

 

[Testin da Cable]

[bodhi]

My parents don;t mind me smoking, only problem is I have to go outside/hang out the bedroom window.

 

[PR.]

Hmmm, I must be the only one who pretty much enjoyed christmas

I sympathise with you completely Damini. I spent most of christmas eve sat in front of the TV clawing at the sofa arms, drinking 2.8% strength bottled beer and making excuses to go outside for a smoke. Unbelievable when I'm 27, but yes it does make for safer waters. Luckily for me I live about 45 mins from my folks house so I managed to get a lift back christmas day

hope y'all had a good one

I have a family of my own (13yo and 4yo sons), which means Xmas passes like any other day only with more chaos, and this year we hosted the relatives too.

Cherish the time you have for yourself, you should feel lucky you have time to actually get bored, this is the first time I've been online since 24th, and that's only because I've escaped to work

All my little boy wanted was a toy Flintlock Pistol (don't ask why), and in these enlightened politically correct times its f*cking hard getting hold of a toy gun of any sort, so having finally got it to him and seeing his face light up was enough for me.

 

[Sar]

I suddenly feel all warm and snuggly inside.












Maybe I should have waited for that Pot Noodle to cool down, but ahh well.

 

[old.charliealpha]

my niece! all together now...aaaaaawwwwwwww

 

[Summo]

Awwww.....

That's what makes Christmas worthwhile. Right there.

 

[Testin da Cable]

awwwww

indeed

 

[Sar]

Yup.

Get them hooked on capitalism early.
