Christmas Carol Hell

If I hear one more Christmas Carol I'm going to scream. I know some people really get off on this kind of thing but I just can't. I consider it a waste of time to sing about decking the halls and a baby stuck in an animal's trough and I just don't see how they can make people so happy. All I'm reminded of when I hear a carol is the fact that I have no money to buy presents for people on this manmade holiday that has absolutely nothing to do with spirituality anymore. Call me a Grinch but that's just the way I feel.

Snow Day

Well, Toronto got a little snow last night and the whole city basically shut down. It is this kind of thing that really brings out the Albertan in me. I can remember winters that would last until May and I would walk to school in my Koffman boots and not think anything of it, but here people freak out if there's a thin layer of snow even hitting the ground. Wake up people! When you're wading through drifts as high as your thigh in the middle of May THEN you can say you've experienced winter!!!

Alfalfa 2005

When I got out of the shower this morning I noticed it but I decided not to worry. When I was drying my hair this morning I tried not to notice it and tried not to worry, but now that I am trying to put gel in my hair there is no avoiding it. I have a semi-large chunk of hair that, no matter what I do to it or how much product I put in it, will not lie down and behave. I am 2005's version of Alfalfa and there is nothing I can do about it.
My hair has never been the type to behave and look fashionable but this is unacceptable! I have very short hair and it should look cool and Sharon Stone-like but instead most days I end up with a little rooster tail that has bewcome the bain of my existance! Why can't I be like normal people and suffer with a Mullet???? Anything is better than this!!!

It's just plain Festivous

There is only one time of the year when my religions take over and it always drives me crazy. I am the only person I know who was raised in a mixed up house of Jewish, Christian and Pagan beliefs (no wonder I can't hold down a relationship) and every year I seem to lose my mind around this time. Do I tell people "Merry Christmas", "Happy Hannukah" or "Happy Yule"? Do I spin the draedl, sing a carol or burn the Yule Log?
What's even worse is the fact that I have to ask for more than the usual amount of time off from work because all three holdiays coincide with each other. My boss already thinks I'm a schizophrenic but at this time of year he thinks that I am a complete lunatic.
The amount of money I spend at this time of year could feed a small country for a year and I always end up feeling exhausted by the end of it.
This year I don't want to do anything. I want to ban any type of religious bull and I would love to do exactly what I want, but that just isn't going to work and I will do exactly what I do every year: I am going to run screaming through the streets because my Jewish/Wiccan mother will curse me for not wish her a Happy Hannukah/Yule.

TTC psycho

Does anyone else ever feel the need to scream when they're on the bus just to see if anyone reacts? Wouldn't it be amazing just to let loose and see what happens?
