Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Anybody else stuck with family they wish they didn't have, annoying youngsters, and an eating time that continues to get pushed back? Yeah. Happy fucking Thanksgiving. Ugh...one more month until X-Mas...which is even worse... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 I hear ya man. Out here where I live, all I have is my mom's side of the family in which I seem to be the only young 20-someting male. so naturally any notice of me gets pushed into the closet. I usually revert to the back room to watch the afternoon football game in peace & quiet while the rest of the family gabbers on with family gossip. Oh how I wish I could spend the holidays with my dad's side of the family.(they live across the country, btw.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 27, 2003 None of my family gets along thus everybody has Thanksgiving at their own place. Hell I'm not getting along with everybody in this house at the moment which shows how much tension there is in my family. My mother's being a bitch so I'm thinking of having a bowl of cereal and going to bed just to piss her off back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 I have Thanksgiving here at home with mother's side of the family, but earlier in the day I have Bizarro Thanksgiving with my father's side of the family, where everyone is nice and supportive (even if this means boatloads of small talk) and loving. I come home to the warzone that is mother's side of the family, where the night will end with mother locking herself in her room after a huge fight with one of my uncles, all three of which I'd gladly kill in a heartbeat. My cousins rule though, so I guess it balances out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 I like Thanksgiving when it's my mother's side of the family. Which it is every year. The only time that we had it with my fathers side was one year and it fucking sucked. They're stuck up rich bastards...jesus we didn't even have Turkey.

Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Thanksgiving is just lame around my house. It's just my parents and me. We eat around 4PM and don't even spend time with each other the rest of the day. Wow, true family bonding. My brother has spent the past four Thanksgivings with his woman of choice, so I don't even get to see my favourite relative today. What a cockbiting day this is... Tomorrow I'll just go out and begin my search to find a copy of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Hugo Weaving > family, in my case, y'know? It's fun like that.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Not when our families are filled with people that would just as soon bitch you out over something you had no involvement in as make a turkey. That said, I hate turkey anyways, so I just ate my pasta, stuffing, and mashed potatoes before going to see my grandfather's grave (first Thanksgiving without him, so that DEFINITELY affected my mood) and smoke a BUTT.

Guest hhheld_down Report post Posted November 28, 2003 my thanksgivings arent bad at all. some of them have been real bad but hey, it happens. I usually spend thanksgiving with my dad and his soon to be wife (my step mom in the future i guess) and her famil and although it does get rather tense once in a while, all in all its good. Everyone tries not to do something stupid all the time which gets a little tense once in awhile but nevertheless. Christmas aint bad for me either (most of the time). I just hate this time of year because of my work (grocery store) and I always seem to have a bad week on the week of thanksgiving (like this week for instance), and I hate the pressure and expenses of christmas. Everyone says its not how much u spend on someone or whatever u get someone they will love, but its never true. Oh well. we can bitch about christmas time when it comes. Point is... Family Wise, thanksgiving is good for me. Week wise (or life wise), thanksgiving BLOWS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 28, 2003 Is anybody around here happy? Do any of you have a happy life with your families? No, I told my family I'll be thankful when they leave me alone, then I went to bed. I'll have a feast of a can of Beefaroni and a couple slices of bread with butter while watching T2:Judgement Day on USA in an hour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2003 I had fun since I mainly played Super NES with my cousin- a full World Series on Griffey, eevry cup on Super Mario Kart, and a shitload of Wario's Woods. However, I feel VERY bloated and I look fat, so my self-conscious ways have me regretting it. The scale said I weighed 135, which can't be right since I was 125 just a few days ago (on the same scale). Maybe after I digest all this food I'll shrink back to normal and not look like a fucking cow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2003 Is anybody around here happy? Do any of you have a happy life with your families? Let me clear this up. My immediate family is great. Very loving, and all that other good stuff, however it is my mother's extended family that is just *sigh*.......So that is why holidays tend to be a lot of hassle over nothing. All the young people in general get along, it is the parents and beyond that can't just sit down, eat and stfu already. I just got back home and as predicted the "grown-ups" had their usual debate ad-naseua while all of the 20-somethings were in the back room watching C-spans debate on the future drug policy for america, while shooting the breeze~! So I had a pretty decent time because my strategy was to stick to my age group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted November 28, 2003 ...My mother wants to move us to fucking Ohio next year, which is selfish of her. That puts yet more distance between my aged father and his other children. You know, the children that he doesn't resent? The old man doesn't have more than decade left, so she could at least put up with Seattle for a few years. As for me, well, I'll be homeless before I'll live in Ohio, thanks. Conclusion: I'm glad that the family never talks to each other, normally. Ohio... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
