Post your holiday stories 2010

[Ele'ill]

Post family get-together mayhem and other related catastrophes.

I spent the evening alone listening to music and writing and am no longer high. Going to go to bed. This is the first Christmas Eve in forever that I have not gotten completely blitzed.

[La Comédie Noire]

Drinking vodka with my sis, she is a pretty assertive lesbian so when she yelled my grandmother thought a man was getting killed outside so I had to go pretend and check for intruders/ murder victims.

[Martin Blank]

Family gets to spend time wondering if my mother's mother is going to die this weekend.

[Stand Your Ground]

Worked 9AM-4PM xmas eve, did some house cleaning when I got home for xmas day.

Had some family over for xmas, did some cooking. They left early though, it's only 2:48.

[ed miliband]

Right-wing uncle tells me that his friend in New York got sick on Noam Chomsky's nephew.

[the last donut of the night]

fucking sucked

[Le Libérer]

Went to visit RS2k and watch him and his long lost love who hes been reunited with, be together again. Its the best present I've gotten in my adult life.

[Lobotomy]

Went to visit my family who I don't really know and had to pretend to be social and comfortable. "hows college hows college hows college" blahhh. Very awkward for me. I'm glad I'm back in my cave where I can just chill with a glass of wine and some ganja.

[¿Que?]

Drove 20min to my mums, my sister is in town, we had empanadas (I wish I had brought some, cuz I'm hungry now), and we watched half of exist through the gift shop, I came home, took a half a xanbar (thanks sis! :)) bought a sixer of miller highlife and here I am. Mary Christmas is a slut anyway.

[Ele'ill]

I watched exit through the gift shop yesterday. It wasn't what I was expecting and I think the whole thing was a skit.

So we both watched Exit Through the Gift Shop on or around Christmas time?:) Naturally I'll ascribe more meaning to that than I probably should...

[Ele'ill]

Like what?

[¿Que?]

Like what?
I refuse to answer that for fear it might incriminate me. No seriously, idk, like some shared experience or something.

[#FF0000]

my dad got me an old used beat up drumset and it's baller as hell.

I realized i have no room to keep it anywhere with my room in the state it's in, so I'm cleaning and rearranging so it'll fit.

[bcbm]

went to aunt's holiday party, got real drunk with a bunch of older people who are all down with my nihilist worldview. sang christmas songs really loud in church on christmas eve (also because i was drunk). got drunk. etc

[Niccolò Rossi]

Fucks sake. Steal my thread why don't you. To be honest though, it's better here, no TC.

Anyway my Christmas was very good. Better than any year I can remember.

My fathers family always have loud-talking (never 'yelling' but jesus they make some noice) arguments, but this year was more heated. My cousin made the dipshit remark along the lines of that he couldn't stand living here (our suburb in South-West Sydney) because of the middle easterns/asians and said he didn't want them living next to him. I asked him if he had the balls to say that infront of my mates (I'm the only white guy in my group). My father and mother jumped in out of nowhere and there was a big shit storm with that cousin's father (my father's brother). Most years my parents are guilty of pseudo-racist remarks and just 'going along with it'. I was very surprised and happy to see them draw a line in the sand and not put up with this kind of shit being said.

Anyway, seeing my nonni (father's side) and my nan (mother's side) with the family (I only see Nan a couple times a year) made me realise how deeply scared I am of getting old. It's because of the loneliness and boredom. My Nonno and Nan are at the stage where all they do all day is watch TV and sleep. That scares the hell out of me. I should spend more time with my Nonno, he only lives across the road, but there's so little you feel you can do. The conversation is always the same. :(

But lots of food and good to see all the family. So a very good Christmas.

Nic.

[bricolage]

Went to my cousins, drank wine, played connect four.
Two grandmas (only one mine) were there, both who have the memory of a goldfish, cue conversations such as "I have never watched corrie in my life", "you watched it five minutes ago".

[kitsune]

I had fun. There was a lot of cheer going around on Christmas Eve, so we got off to a late start. Passed around presents, and after relaxing a bit had a nice get together with friends.

[REVLEFT'S BIEGGST MATSER TROL]

Went to visit RS2k and watch him and his long lost love who hes been reunited with, be together again. Its the best present I've gotten in my adult life.

Please tell me the got seperated due to the nefarious actions of the imperialist american dogs on their visit to cuba? While our communist superman fought off the pay of pigs invasion single handedly using endless paragraphs of bolded, then unbolded text and occasion smilies, his love was kidnapped by the cia and hidden from him, never to be seen again?


I don't know the guy, but actually though, how did she/he find him again? And also if he is well enough to chat to this bird surely he is well enough to return to revleft, which would be a pretty awesome xmas present. :mad::blushing:

[bailey_187]

went Fabric

was live. Jammer, Skepta, JME, few others were there performing. looked like someone was going to die when they was spitting over some of the beats, how hype people were getting. everyone was cool tho, no trouble (until outside atthe end obv lol)

Nic.

Seriously? I love hanging out with old people. IT's a riot. They've got a good 50 years on you, which would have no doubt included a number of comical shenanigans and brilliant stories.
It took years for my Oma and Opa to open up to me about what they used to do (My Opa was an engineer, and worked on banana boats - has numerous stories about getting rum in Jamaica, as well as cigars ^-^; My oma was in the communist party, involved in the equal pay movement in '60s), but once they did, it's been awesome.

I've also never seen someone call their nonna their nonni. Never ever. haha

I don't think you should be scared of getting old. It has it's perks. You always get a seat on the bus. Always.

Well, to be fair, I've never heard anyone call their grandparents any of the things you and Nic have.

I agree. I love my nonno to death. He's a ball. I loved his stories like about him travelling to Belgium at 14 to work in the coal mines. On his first day in Belgium he went to the store to buy eggs. Not knowing a word of French, he put his thumbs in his arm pits, flapped his elbows like wings and went 'book, book, book'. He also has a bunch of stories from when he returned home. His family couldn't feed him so they shipped him off to Naples to work at the university in the cafeteria for bed and board.

He's taken a turn for the worse in the last few months though. He's probably away for less than 8hrs a day and when he is just about all he can do is sit and eat or watch TV. He's not the man he once was.

Nonni is plural. Nonna + nonno = nonni similar to the way that grandmother + grandfather = grandparents.

Nic.

[synthesis]

Nonna + nonno = nonni similar to the way that grandmother + grandfather = grandparents

Yes, that is perfectly logical.

[Ele'ill]

:lol:

[Magón]

Got drunk, ate, slept, got down in the bedsheets with my lady friend. Woke up the next day, fooled around some more.

[Niccolò Rossi]

Yes, that is perfectly logical.

I'm sorry. I'm a bit slow. Am I missing something...

Yeah, my ignorance of the Italian language.

How come you call your grandfather opa and your grandmother oma? You're aware these are the correct Dutch words right? :p

Long story short, my cousins are Austrian, and we grew up in the same house. My oldest cousin spoke first and, naturally, called them 'Oma' and 'Opa'. It's just stuck. We all call them Oma and Opa.
