So, like, is this regular run of the mill Maya's gonna cut you cranky or did someone pee in your cornflakes specially today?

Meh

[xp_echo]

I don't know? Both? Sort of.

Re: Meh

[xp_artie]

Sooo... do you want sympathy or for me to anonymously drop off a bottle of cheap, nasty white wine? you're like three years too young for me to drop off handful of xannies.



Otherwise, I'm heading out of town on Saturday morning and I'll be back Tuesday night. Going to Miami for the break. I've had enough of this cold and there's snow and rain forecast for the weekend.

So. Wanna come? I'll be your responsible adult, we'll catch some sun, hang by the resort pool, all of that stuff.

I've gotta go do a soup kitchen thing on Christmas Eve and then I'm tagging along with Kyle to stare at him and his Dad being all family like. (I'm told there's food. )

If I'm still here this time next year, I will take you up on Miami though.

(Thanks, it helps. )

[xp_artie]

i'll be going somewhere warm next year, too. had too many cold christmases as a kid and I don't like the holiday these days. too many ghosts. you're welcome to come but if you're obnoxious i'll be leaving you on the side of the road.

behave around kyle's dad.

(ugh soup kitchens. like, hooray for one day a year you get to pretend you have a social conscience and care about the poors and the homeless people but its back to normal the very next day. omg. i am glad you're going but ugh.)

[xp_eriment]

Ay, it's Christmas! You can't be grumpy about Christmas.

[xp_echo]

This is me we're talking about. Fine. Are you spending Christmas at home or at the mansion?

[xp_eriment]

Home of course. I could do without midnight mass but my mom and abuela make a freaking feast for dinner.

[xp_echo]

I always wondered about the whole midnight mass thing. What's that all about?

[xp_eriment]

Everyone rushing to be the first to say happy birthday to Jesus, I think.

[xp_clea]

Oh you are getting a present for sure.

[xp_echo]

Just as long as it's an animatronic Porg plushie, I'll forgive you.

[xp_spectrum]

Just wondering - if you were still with your family for the holidays, what would you be doing with them?

[xp_echo]

Not much. We don't celebrate Christmas, although it is a great chance to have Chinese food. So, if they weren't in hiding and thus unable to do anything right now. We'd be back home in Lame Deer watching Netflix and eating Chinese food.

[xp_wildchild]

Like, where in the hell did you find anything Chinese food in Lame Deer without having to drive all the fuck the way back out to Billings

(okay shit I just googled it and yo, I've eaten at both those places now I totally understand why you're so angry all the time I KNOW who hurt you it's the Chinese food selection back home)

[xp_echo]

There's a place in Colstrip called K K Chinese that's actually pretty good. It's about 27 minutes by car.

So maybe not 'at home' and maybe not at the same time but basically what I'd be doing.

Why, you think you can do better here?

[xp_wildchild]

This is NEW YORK yes I can goddamn do better.

(I've been to KK, and it's terrible)

[xp_echo]

So, what I'm hearing here is Chinese food and Netflix on the 25th?

I need to catch up on Stranger Things.

(Only other choice was an hour 30 minutes away. You get what you get. It's Montana, not Hong Kong. )

[xp_wildchild]

On the 25th ima be grilling with my dad, which if you are -not- a shit you are welcome to because he'll probably tell you all about some shit he helped build out your way
(seriously do not like be all YOU at him if you tag along, it's been a rough couple of years and I'm adoptedish)

I will go get your good bad* chinese food the day after Christmas young angry teenager because once upon a time weird adults who were way too nice got me decent chinese food when I was stuck here instead of being home with my shitty chinese food on the day after christmas
(my mom used to work doubles between xmas and nye for the overtime, so dad and I'd order shitty chinese food)

* okay so it's "bad" I mean it's unhealthy and totally americanized but it's quality and delicious

[xp_echo]

I don't know, that's a tall order. Not even one 'capitalist pigdog'? How can you be 'adoptedish'?

As long as you're feeding me, I think I can withhold my generalised contempt for all of humanity for at least twenty four hours.

There were actual adults here once? I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked!

[xp_wildchild]

My mom (she died) was my actual bio-mom KINDA (I mean she borned me, but I might not be 100% hers genetically there's crazy science involved that I don't understand or want to know about exactly) but my dad's adopted me after they got married when I was like idk 3 months old or something

So the parent I got left isn't by blood, the by blood parent isn't 100% by blood (my grandparents DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT BTW DO NOT SAY ANYTHING) but my dad's frekaing amazing

(no but you can rag on him hard for CHOOSING to move to New Jersey)(but he's gonna demand that you go get him a beer)(from the fridge not the store)

[xp_cypher]

lolololol pretty sure that makes you an official New Yorker now

[xp_wildchild]

ima stand outside your room and sing Empire State of Mind at you fuck you
