Christmas Options

[Soulseeker3.0]

Hey what are all you gonna do with Christmas (if you celebrate it)?

I'm going to see family Christmas day....

[Intestinal Chaos]

Mostly I try to avoid my family as much as possible. I'm the black sheep of the family because I'm the only one who wishes to live their own life (long story). The dinner will be rife with awkwardness and faked enthuisiasm and then end in my youngest uncle (Jared) having a fight with my grandfather and belting out of there like a rabbit before coming back thouroughly (sp) plastered or baked (sometimes both).

I hope to be spending as much time as possible with friends (what little still remain) and attempting to stay awake as I will not sleeping AT ALL (or as little as can be helped).


Here is the family plan

Grandmother: Being the sexist she is she'll pretend to care about me while extravagantly treating to the female relatives. After I do something particular outrageous (like speaking or maiking my presence known) she'll get rid of me in a very passive aggressive way then talk bad about me to my Aunt A for a good half an hour.

Grandfather: He'll probably arrive late (thought this is excusable, he runs a successful buisness and has a high position in a church (think minister) (yeah, that's right, I did a caption in a caption (in caption))) and then warmly greet everyone. I'll avoid him as much as possible, feeling guilty for being unreligious and letting him down (rediculous thought, but it bothers me). Eventually he'll settle down for a nice talkin', and won't talk smack unlike my other relatives.

Aunt A: Arrive last and walk in like she owns the place (for she lived there at one point). She'll get around to greeting everyone but me and might give me a sideways glance. After eating and complaining about her ex then she'll set her new husband on me for something I did (that wasn't acctualy bad... she might even just imagine I did something). She'll migrate about gossing about the various family members and then settle into one area for a good long complaint.

Uncle A (husband of aunt A): (ALL DAY) Go about wreaking "discipline" upon those he has no right too and then overreacte constantly. Do Aunt A's bidding at every command.

Parent, Female: Walk about being the only functional family member besides my grandfather (No I'm not biased on this one). Complain about how poor the children are acting and then complain about the behavior of Uncle B and C. Get upset over lack of orginazation.

Parent, male: If he is here he'll lumber about and find things to complain about and constantly overeact about anything I do. Deny me use of the computer and any electronic for no other reason than to bring me displeasure (this has been actually proven). Leave early.

Uncle B: Having finally turned his life around to being preductive and no longer being homeless and whatnot he'll attempt conversation (given he's there). Still being unreligious and (by everyone else's standards) low class be shunned but appear as accepting. Talk about most recent hike.

Uncle C: Show up late (and possibly under the influence of something) and leading about some new strumpet at his side. Be overly loud and annoying. Get in fight (of words). Leave early (that consits of going back to the garage).

Cousin A,14, female: Be treated far better than I. Get unusual amounts of presents and praise by Grandmother and Aunt A. Attempt to talk to me about something in common. Being there is nothing but the past we'll settle for reminiscing (sp). Secretly despise me (proven).

Cousin A, 12, male: Run about the house like a screaming demon. Annoy EVERYONE. Be dealt physical pain by me once on a small amount. Have family overeact at his slight pain, and get me punish. be dealt constant punishment.

Cousin A, 8?, male: Wander about the house cleaning up and organizing due to his Anal-retentive attitude. Freak out.

Cousin J, 16, male: If he is here, avoid everyone and be my only company.

Me, 16, male: Avoid everyone, be cousin J's company. COMPLAIN to J. Hear J complain back. Get yelled at.
