Suzi, it will all be fine. Look at it this way, you can make what *you* want to eat, instead of eating what someone else thinks you should eat.
Besides, I wanna kiss the cook.
You want to meet the real me now?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
tommyrot, you've never read any Charles Fort, have you?
Nope.
eta: Actually, I might have when I was in grade school, when I first became interested in the paranormal. Come to think of it, I first heard of the Tunguska explosion then....

Wacky.
Alan Moore is to feature in a forthcoming episode of The Simpsons.
Moore, aged 53, recorded his lines at The Lodge studios in Abington Square last month for an episode which will be called Husbands and Knives.

I'm skipping preparing Thanksgiving this year to go to the mountains and have someone else cook. I may bring pie, though.

We normally go to my cousin's where that whole side of the family gathers. But after all of them flaked on my mom this month, I'm not feeling like spending the day with them. And yes, I'm tweaked enough to be willing to cook.

I'm making cranberry relish! Unless everyone hated it, and then I won't. I couldn't tell. It was weird making it without my usual tools and it is something I really like, but just a spoonful at a time, cause it is strong.
Fuck, I still have to figure out Xmas. I have an open invite from my brother. My parents are assuming I'm spending it with them. (They are doing Xmas at TG with my brother.) At this point? I hate to leave my parents alone, my brother will have company, but I just don't really give a shit about the holiday outside it being fun for the nephew and...it's a wash. Maybe I'll win a trip somewhere. I swear to god, it would be easier if I had a kid or SO, but I'm not willing to do that 24/7 365. Bleargh. I wish we could rent a compound or some shit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanksgiving is going to be a non-event for me this year--and hopefully by the time Christmas rolls around it'll be less painful to travel.
However, if I don't get off my butt to buy tickets, that'll be moot.

Feh. Hope you feel better.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am large with the holiday malaise -- no clue what to do about Thanksgiving, except that I reallyreally don't want to deal with family. Either side. Perhaps on the phone, but only briefly. Food will be eaten. Not really inspired by the whole turkeyish genre this year. Currently lacking any other ideas. Might hunt down friends, if others are similarly unattached and uninspired.
Oh, and there must be cranberries.
Go team everyone's favorite holiday?

Honestly, I love my family. I enjoy spending time with them (when they aren't doing inlaw drama.) I look forward to seeing them. But right now? My found family holiday is what I look forward to. No weird loaded expectations, no obligations. Just people. That I like. Who entertain me.
