ishyface- Got to wear a lovely paper hat.
- Had deep, meaningful discussions with family by candlelight about mortality and getting old and new beginnings and other shit. May have teared up at one point. Don't tell.
- Watched three movies: Wall-E (whee!), Life As A House (not as good as I thought it was when I was fourteen!), and Rockadoodle (not as good as I thought it was when I was four!).
- Drank. Drank kind of a lot.
- Got this.
I'm calling her Patsy, the First Bass. Because I am twelve.
Now I just have to learn to play her. I have strengthened my resolve on this front by reminding myself that if Pete Wentz can do it, so can I.
And now I've got to go get ready for our Reluctant Extended Family Boxing Day Fiesta. Plans are in the works to make my aunt Anne-Marie storm out in a huff (or faint, we're not sure which is the more likely reaction) by toasting my fifteen-year-old sister's unborn child and fervently praying that she'll carry to term "this time." Please note that this was my mother's idea, and that said sister is all for it.
Happy holidays. Have a Wentzling (which does not have wings, horns, OR a tail and thus disappoints me but is still freakin' adorable).
