I'm on the phone with my sister trying to walk her through using eBay. My sister is very smart; why is this so hard?
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So -- family is here, after a comedy of errors at LAX that involved playing "Spot the Jamaican" (which is something I think I'm good at, and then I spot an actual Jamaican) so I could find out where all the other Jamaicans were (they didn't come to their projected terminal, but instead the Bradley one. HOW WAS I TO KNOW???? Apart from spotting Jamaicans, I mean.
But they're here, and my once-tidy apartment is a mess, though having my mother ask if I'd had someone in to clean it means I win.
Now I just have to talk my father out of buying me a gift today.

Also, I think you left your cough with me. I'd like to give it back to you, please.

Not a damned thing. He hasn't told me what he wanted, and I've told him that unless he comes up with something better than my idea, Santa has other things to do.
I think you left your cough with me.
Nuh-uh! I still have mine right here. You must have stolen someone else's.

damn. I'd like to return the cough I have. Delsym doesn't help. Neither does Tussin. But theraflu knocks it (and me) right out.
Stupid cold. Makes it so I can't scuba tomorrow.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
I still have to wrap all my presents yet. I suck at wrapping. And I just now realized I never checked my supply of paper, bows and tape from last year to see if I needed to buy any more. Here's hoping I don't have to brave the madhouse for a roll of tape or something.
At least I don't have to have anything wrapped until tomorrow morning. The name I pulled for Christmas Eve at my grandparents' was my brother's and he's currently at boot camp. Since the base is just down the road, my parents are "adopting" him from the Navy for Christmas, so he'll be able to celebrate with us tomorrow for something like 10 hours before we have to return him. Which is good.
But I really should start wrapping in the near future.
