Now that i'm done being weird...well, weirder than usual, i shall explain the title of my post. As you may or may not have noticed (i mean, who actually reads post titles?) it states "NO, I don't know what the fat content of water is, STOP ASKING!" the reason it says this is my annoying aunt kept following me around on Christmas Eve, saying things like "O dear, do you know how many calories are in this? How about the sodium content of this?"
Yeah, it was annoying as it sounds.
And then her husband decided to lecture me on the audacity of wasting food sinc i insisted i don't like peas. "YOu know, the starving children in China would die to have those peas you refuse to eat? How about those poor kids in Taiwan? And what about the lack of food for wild animals? the more food you waste, the more food we need to take from nature, and the more food we take from nature, the less food for the wild beasts of our land!"
Needless to say, I got fed up (fed up, no pun intended), and retorted with "If you're so worried about the starving children in China, then pack up these peas and sent em to em! and if you loose sleep over the thoughts of starving wild animals, then why don't you pack yourself off to Africa and pay a friendly visit to the cute cuddly lions?"
Ya, i know that was really mean, but sheesh. Despite how it may sound, i actually very rarely get angry. But man, he just has a way of tap dancing on my last nerve that is just so ugh!
and btw, i do care about the starving children in China. I donate money. And i donated 50 cans to our local food drive where i live, so don't go saying i'm some sorta heartless, crude, rapid porcupine! Trust me, rapid porcupines are a lot fiercer than me and are not cuddly!
just trust me on that.
Other than that, my Christmas Eve was actually quite fun! Better than usual. I told y'all about the family problems we had, but for some reason they just weren't as prominent as usual this year. It was nice. Except for the naggy aunts and UGH-YOU-ARE-TAP-DANCING-ON-MY-LAST-NERVE uncles.
So, basic run down of Christmas Eve...
- Drive to grandma's house
- get out of car
- nearly die via falling on ice
- go inside of house
- wonder why the kitchen is filled with smoke
- wonder what that burning smell was
- wonder what was burning
- grandma just about has panic attack
- AWW, MY TURKEY!
- Grandma rescues turkey
- turkey looks like it has seen better days
- dinner
- second helping of dinner
- third helping..
- 4th...
- well, it is the hollidays
- gather in living room
- open presents
- do lottery (we each pick a number, when number is called, go pick a present out of a huge pile. Presents range from tea sets, to kitchen gear, to those special little items that no one really knows what the heck they are
- WE all barter with one another to exchange gifts
- 3 little cousins open presents my cousin Gia brought them
- guess what they got?
- Marshmallow guns
- I hate my cousin
- Marshmallow war ensues
- I trick em, trap em downstairs, don't release them until they give me their guns
- Get the guns, run
- hide behing corner
- shoot when i hear footsteps
- Sorry Grandpa!
- get ready to leave
- in the car
- forgot my phone
- run back in
- FIRE!!!
- Hit with about 8 marshmallows at once
- quickly put all my cousins on my hit list, right below Tom Cruise and my science teacher who forced the class to bow to me when i got the extra credit on our report of the history of Earth, who is right below the KFC dude who refused to tell me what were the secret ingredients that made their chicken so irresistable
- go look at Christmas lights
- go home
- and DON'T GO ASLEEP TIL THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING!

You say you're about to go...then you say something else...and you do that over and over....

What a list you've got going. I hope you have a great new year.
Have a great New Year!
Your posts are always so fun to read.
Urgh, you're relatives sound almost more annoying than mine! I would snap if someone kept following me around bugging me about waters calories and starving children in China too. I bet your retort shut your tap dancing uncle right up, haha! But other than that it sounds like you had a great Christmas Eve! That's quite a long list :O
Hahah, I always end up saying bye like a thousand times before I actually go in conversations too ;D Happy 2009 and I hope you have a great new year!
Happy New Year!!!
Wanted to email you to greet you a happy new year...but that's sort of impossible...
ROCK ON this new year anyways!!!
Happy 2009! You're free now, right? Free to blog! WOO! Well, it's January 1st and I don't see any new posts so maybe you partied too hard last night and are now feeling the after-affects? Who knows. I personally think an army of hippos has taken you hostage because you make them giggle so hard. That's what I would do if I was a hipppo. Rock on, and happy new year and freeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!
haha, another good one, as always
the whole convo with your uncle was very interesting...very close to something I would say
