It's that wonderful time of the year!

Gentlemen( and like four ladies), I think you know what to do.

That time of year where we are all supposed to come together, get along, and enjoy each other 's company but instead people are stressed out, bitchy, and annoyed with everyone? That time of year where unachievable expectations are set and people get angry with everyone when they don't achieve them?

This is the time of year I want to hold up in my home and just play with Legos for 2 months.... bah... hum-bug....

But I can't so....

Yeah, I kind of hate Saturnalia, really. I never know what to get anyone, I don't have much money, and I have to spend at the very least a day with my boring family and do nothing. We don't play board games, we don't watch movies, and we really don't do anything interesting. I hold no grudge against my step mother, brother, and his wife; in fact, I really do consider them family...it's just that the late union of two sets of people didn't, in this case, produce any shared interests. My brother watches sports and never reads anything; not even magazines. His wife does crafts and stuff. My step mother has been addicted to her job since I first met her, and thus all of her interests are work related(short of farmville). My dad and I like sci-fi stuff, enjoy games occasionally, and both read good books and watch similar movies....but we're the only two people who enjoy any of that in my family...and thus we have to sit there and be boring with everyone else.

It is agonizing. I always just want to tell them how much our family sucks. I suppose I could suggest that we actually do something worthwhile instead of sitting silently and talking about nothing while watching some boring Saturnalia parade/sports event, but then it would just be forced and nobody would enjoy themselves.

Go outside and play sports. Good for your brother, generic enough for the most boring people, probably fun for you and your dad if you are the right kind of nerd.

I think he meant the avatars, guys. Jeez. I dunno who spiked the eggnog, but it must have been with something nasty.

[Keldoclock]

Yeah, I thought we did this every year.

That time of year when the piercing cold reminds you that you don't have fur to keep you warm and are not, in fact, a wolf?

It's summer, what dirt hole are you pansies living in?

[Keldoclock]

Mostly Britain and North America, dude.
