Not a creature was cleaning

Right, so, few quick notes before I attempt to make my home suitable for Saint Nicholas. (In Giant today, I was trying to explain to my mom that even though I'm not a Christian I deserve Christmas presents, because Christmas has become so commercial. When she protested, I said "Jesus has nothing to do with Santa." And she went berserk and growled at me, gesturing to the little girl behind me, I suppose because she has yet to find out that Santa is really her very tired mother. "What? Santa isn't Jesus." And I didn't think that was giving anything away, really, unless your mother told you that Santa Claus was really Jesus in a red suit. But yeah, she smacked me anyway.)

a) I was on a lot of drugs when I wrote that last post (literally, I had no idea what I was doing, I don't even remember writing it now) and I have not gone off to Bridges. I'm going to Graydon on the 29th, though. Hooray!

b) I need someone to house my caterpillars for the winter. Someone with an unheated garage or a deck that's shielded from the rain/snow/wind. I want them to go through whatever weird hormonal changes occur while they're secreting antifreeze.

c) We're having a vegetarian Christmas dinner at my request. That's gonna be FUN! I'll probably return here with all the excruciating details.

d) For Kelsey and Miranda -- remember that hideous green purse I bought? Well, I went shopping for a present for my sister (with her along, of course) at Temptations, and brought along the handbag. She kept protesting "I'm embarrassed to be seen with you and that THING" but I love it and dragged it along anyway. However, in the parking lot, because it was about zero fucking degrees with windchill, I wanted to put my hands in my coat pockets, and since she had on a sweatshirt and could just pull it over her hands, I asked her to carry the bag for me until we entered the store. So, two seconds after she has taken the bag and my hands are safetly stowed, some woman walks by, gives Michelle a weird look, and goes, "I like your bag."

I laughed for like, ten thousand years.

e) I was dropping off some presents, and on the way to Kelsey's house, I noticed a street named "KILKENNY." And I am such a South Park nerd... Jesus Christ, I thought I would pee in my pants. (I'm going out on Sunday with my mom to get a picture.)

f) MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Wasn't that cheesy?
