The Honest Truth

Oh Xanga. 

I've known it for awhile now, and I'm just now coming to face the Truth.  We've been living separate lives for too long, and I can't do it anymore.  I have to let you go.  I don't even wonder what you're up to anymore.  In fact, I rarely think of you at all.  I think we should cut off all communication.  It's the only way.  Just remember xanga, it's not you.... it's me.

Farewell.  Best of luck.

No Nonsense

Last night.  I've just finished some online job apps for Tulsaland and had a good cry with my Mom because she still misses my Dad.  We decide it is time to clean out her closet.  She's lost tons and tons of weight, so nothing fits anymore.  We're throwing out all of the 80s shoulder pad stuff (thank God) and keeping a few things that look good.  She cleans out her pockets on all of them, and finds this: one of my Dad's personality tests.  Only, it's hilarious.  And now, you will benefit from the joy of this found piece of nonsense.  I will include my Dad's answers for your viewing pleasure.

For each item, answer:  Like me (L), Somewhat like me (S), or Not like me (N). 

     N   1.   I salivate at the sight of mittens.

     N   2.   At times I am afraid that my toes will fall off.

     L    3.   As an infant, I had very few hobbies

     L   4.   Some people look at me.

     N   5.  Spinach makes me feel alone.

     N   6.  Sometimes I steal objects like medicine balls and aviaries.

     N   7.  Cousins are not to be trusted.

     L   8.  Other people's warts don't make me self-conscious.

     N  10.  I become homicidal when people try to reason with me.

     N  11.  My teeth sometimes leave my body.

     N  12.  Recently I have been getting shorter.

     N  13.  I have alwas been disturbed by the size of Abe Lincoln's ears. 

     L   14.  I often repeat myself.

     L   15.  I often repeat myself.

     N   16.  Chiclets make me sweat.

     L   17.  I believe that I smell as good as most people.

     L   18.  I stay in the bathtub until I look like a raisin.

     L   19.  Constantly losing my underwear doesn't bother me.

     N  20.  It is hard for me to find the right thing to say when I am in a room full of cockroaches.

     L   21.  I believe that halitosis is better than no breath at all.

     L   22.  Weeping brings tears to my eyes.

     L   23.  I like to put chameleons on plaid cloth.

     N  24.  Some songs make me burp.

     L  25.  I never seem to finish what I

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

- Mother Teresa.

Nontraditional, Antitraditional, Contraditional.....

We are having somewhat of a nontraditional Christmas this year.  My immediate family and I are peacing out of Dodge and running away to the beach.  How bad can the beach be?  I mean, really. 

However.  We won't be taking our Christmas tree or any decorations, so Christmas morning I'm pretty sure I'll be waking up to seashells and sand.  White Christmas?  Sort of.  Also, we'll be having Christmas dinner at a nice restaurant in town. 

Last year, I had Christmas in Japan away from my family, so this isn't my first antitraditional Christmas.  But it is my first Christmas without my dad.  You see, we're trying to make it even more different so we have some control over the change and the big, real change doesn't slap us in the face.  Maybe it will work.  We're trying.  Maybe we'll make a sandman?  Or make sand angels.  Or deck the halls with boughs of shells. 

I'm not a huge fan of this contraditional stuff, but only in the sense that I can't have the Christmas I want no matter what I do.  So aside from that, bring on the sand and the shells and the restaurants and yes, even bring on Christmas.  Christmas is reason enough to celebrate for me, because without it, in Whom would we hope?
