Christmas eve has been terrible and now that I have opened my presents (which I am not at all happy with :mad: ) the usual Christmas crap feast can really begin

Let's see...

Day before Christmas Eve I had school. In which I continuously ended up face to face with a girl I hated like no other. By the end of the day I left her with a big "Fuck you!." Other than that, I had fun with all my other friends.

Christmas Eve (today), Mom left for work at 8 am, and it is now nearly 5 pm and she won't be home for another 4 hours. I have no car and none of my friends are in walking distance. Nothing much to do but to do work.

Christmas (tommorrow), Same as today, only mom will be home and I'll get presents.

And yet I still manage to be perfectly happy and very fond of this time of year.

Omigosh traffic, which I figured to be hellish today by the mall which I had to drive by was well nonexistent. In other words it hasnt turned south on me yet like it has for you Call to power. Hope you can find some cheer somewhere.

I get mugged singing Christmas carols…yes Christmas carols! (all faith in goodwill is officially lost:( ), the car exhaust fell off in the middle of a clogged up road and to top it off people have been giving my crap all day (the thing that really has got to me is being mugged seriously what the hell!)

what really pisses me off is I have to keep my temper under control because "its Christmas" even when all my shows have been stopped so I can watch Christmas junk involving some kid called Timmy as he saves Christmas

I'm a single guy hanging alone tonight, drinking and smokin' a little something.
Did you hang out with family?

Are you really basing this on gifts? I haven't done the presents thing, but dude, I'll prollu get socks and a subscription to Playboy from my brother.
You'e making a libertarian cringe with the mateialism, here, and that's just not right.

You should've explained a little more in your first post. I take back mine, above.
Mugged? I still hate Halloween because of my bad experience. Let's just say my most guarded organ was hanging out while it occured. :(
Sorry your Christmas Eve sucked balls.

The only bad thing that happened to me today waaas...These boards that I've been running for the last few weeks crashed and I had to start over. That's it. But my dad made cherry pie, so that makes up for it.

Tugging on whatever few emotional cords I posses..

Fuck you. Find a puppet, 'cause you've ruined your name. And on Christmas Eve, too.
What a fucking douchebag, if ever there were one.

I see a kid who got everything he wanted for Christmas, then bratted-out on NS. :rolleyes:

Well throughout high school we had wrestling practice for four hours every day of break except Christmas Day. Sophmore year as I remember my brother never showed up, my gifts were mostly defective and had to be returned, and that year we had the largest dinner ever. Couldn't eat though because I was overweight.

And on top of that my sister got brand new CDs she could sing to loudly. fyi: my howling german sheppard has the voice of an angel compared to that human cow.

Oh and my girlfriend dumped me the week before. Yay for the holidays!

Well...Friday night I delivered Pizzas, which gets crap pay, and costs heaps of fuel - which sucks.

The whole day of Saturday it was 40°C, and for some reason the skin on my back doesn't like that, so whenever I start to sweat, it gets itchy - which sucks.

Then, my dad still couldn't get a job, and if it doesn't change, we'll move back to Germany (seriously, the hiring practices in this country are atrocious). So we didn't have money to celebrate properly.

So we watched TV yesterday night, ate something, and I got a box of chocolate as present. Then there was nothing on TV, so I went to bed early. Not that I could sleep, with the heat and my back.

Then, Christmas morning, it's 40°C again, and there were a billion flies annoying me while trying to eat breakfast. And then I went to the PC, with a towel on by back, hoping to survive the day.

But tomorrow is Cricket...please, god, make it a good game...I'm hanging on by a thread here...:(

Sorry, not biting. Try again, and be more creative next time.
I'm an American, so when I'm lied to, I'm spoiled by an entertainment factor.

Your response made this obvious, d00d.

Brisbane, Australia.

Used to be sub-tropic, but the last few years it basically changed into an arid place - water restrictions, farmers living off government handouts and all the rest of it.
You could say that this place is already experiencing global warming...but then again, I can't prove nothing. :rolleyes:

I really know nothing about you, but if you were being serious, I apologize. If it was your idea of a joke, you're no Chris Rock.

I'll opt for the former, and aplogize. Mery Christmas, and don't let little kids threaten you again. By "pen-knife", especially. Get a Rottweiler if you're gonna go for walks. :D

Well here in the good old United Kingdom, it has been Christmas Day for two hours and I still feel as grumpy and petulant as I have been over the last month.

Christmas just bores me now. It means more work, busy shops, bustling town centres and overcrowded public transport for about four weeks until the entire damn thing is over. Then I have to deal with the January sales as all the shops desperately flog all the surplus goods they have left over.

Who actually enjoys Christmas, other than small children and the elderly? For everyone else, Christmas is just a stress waste of money and time leading up to a singular day where you have to eat inferior turkey next to the annoying, in-bred pile of mucus that is your family.

Religion has been systematically stripped from Christmas by commericalism so any integral moral values you might derive from the occasion are pretty much out the window.

Bah Humbug, I say, and be damned to the rest of you!

Well yes. I spent the first 16 years of my life in Hamburg, which was somewhat colder (we got out of school when it got more than 27°C...) and I was fine with it.
Here, I basically melt, although it's gotten better. In my first year I had a two-week migrane from dehydration or something.

But yeah, I'm not one for the warmer climates. 25°C in summer is plenty enough for me.

Oh, I thought you were being too light-hearted after the event to believe you.
Now I realize I've just been a douchebag, and apologize doubly for my reluctance.
I've been mugged once in Tampa during our little wannabe Mardis Gras, and it is so humiliating.
Seriously, get a guard dog for walking. ;)

Again, I'll apologize, and you know I usually don't do that once.
I deserve your smaks.

Actually, i got harder on self-defence, and took a reality-check concerning who I was. I did (do) drugs, I wanted protection, I hated the police response (so sorry, we have better things to do with our time; like watch our feet).

In shot, I became a Libertarian. Funny you bring it up, 'cause that was the turning point.
That's also why I take it so seriously.

I'm dealing with an 83 year old grandmother who is getting on everyone's nerves because she won't shut up and my father insisted I not go out like I usually do on Saturday nights. So I can't get my "alone time" away from the family before I have to drive her back home.

Don't do that. You don't need to scream. You don't need to pund. That's ediculous. You need to think, and when that's done, you need to relax.

Ae you that against drugs?

You may need to relax first, then think later. that's what I did.
