Things That Clog My Brain
- It's supposed to rain/freeze tonight. Although I have free passes to a popular club's NYE party, we're thinking of staying home. Somehow the idea of Drunk Texans On Ice sounds like a nightmare... or a musical. I'm not sure which.
- DISCLAIMER: I love Christmas. I went caroling, drank eggnog, gave to the less fortunate, slept under the Christmas tree on Christmas eve, and bought too many presents. I love it, I do.
- But... I hate it when people say "How was your Christmas?" It's this dreaded question that you KNOW is coming, so during the whole Christmas thing, you're working to make it PERFECT, so that you can say "GREAT!" Ugg. What is it anyway, a performance?
- My friend's great-grandfather passed away Christmas morning. This friend also suffers from major depression, occasional suicidal thoughts, and a host of other mental ailments. So people ask him "How was your Christmas?" and he's been saying "Sucked." Folks don't let it go, though. They say "Oh, c'mon, it couldn't have been THAT bad...." He says "I was a pallbearer. How was YOUR Christmas?"
So here's to 2002. I gotta come up with some resolutions, and fast!

Yeah, it's supposed to maybe snow here, too. You are so right about Texans on Ice. Nothing scarier than that.
I, too, have a wary eye on the Weather Channel and will not drive into Austin for a party no matter HOW much I'm looking forward to it.
Drunk Texans on Ice IS a wonderful titile for a musical, but a scary reality. BUT... perhaps it will give the yuppies a chance to USE the four-wheel drive on the SUVs, and the cowboys that drive big ol' pickups a chance to actually USE the capabilities of their vehicles...
Thanks for sharing yourself on Xanga. I enjoy reading you. Happy New Year.
Sadzi, can i just say how awesome your posts have been this year? I'm glad I got to know ya. Really.
Have an absolutely FABULOUS New Year's celebration, whether you go out, or stay in.
(Brrrrr! Even SEATTLE is warmer than Austin right now!)
Hmmm, I'd prefer tickets to see the drunk Texans on ice....

Snow?? HA!! Come to Buffalo!! We recently got hit with 7 feet of snow in a week. I think you'll have a greater appreciation for what you deemed a "nightmare" lol. Anyway, I invite you read my latest commentary about the recent terrorist attacks. Trying to stir up some kind of forum. Later!
Happy New Year!!! ~kAz~
I did not make any resolutions. I never seem to keep them anyway.
Happy New Year! Stay safe and happy in 2002!
