Since I’m weak and such a follower, I’ve decided to also jump on the wagon of who lives in my head like avitable did. So who am I? John Malkovich. John Cusack. Bill Gates. (Yes, I’m a Really big nerd at heart.) Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Cameron Crowe. Gary Oldman. The entire Friends cast, but mostly Chandler and Monica. So, who are you?
This weeks Topical Tuesday is about holidays. So let’s share some memories of a holiday today.
I’ll be honest with you. I don’t think much about the holidays. And when I say holidays I Really mean Christmas time. I’ve never been a big celebrator of it. I used to be, when I was younger, and no cares in the world. I guess getting older changed things. I guess when you grow up, you lose the magic. But I digress.
When I grew up, there was one holiday that especially filled me with cheer. I have to admit, it’ll sound Really cheesy, but it’s the first Christmas that I spent with Meesh. We met online, as some of you might know, and unfortunately, we lived miles apart. I lived in St. Louis at the time, and she lived here, in Washington. So we couldn’t Really get together very easily. The summer we met, I had flown out to Washington and we spent a great time together.
Well, we apparently had so much fun, that her parents decided to use some miles (my father in law travels a LOT) and bought me a ticket to fly out for Christmas. How cool is that, right? Well anyways, I got to spend the holidays, of which I used to spend alone, with my “new” family. I got to meet the awesome brothers and their families, and I even got plenty of gifts, even though I didn’t Really have any gifts to give out! I Really felt loved.
Of course, they gave me gifts that hinted that I should move out to Washington (including a bag of Space Needle macaroni!), and I eventually did, as you already know. Aside from last Christmas/New Years, that might be one of the most memorable holidays ever.
In case you’re curious, last Christmas/New Years, me and my sister surprised my parents by not telling my parents that my sister was visiting at the same time that Meesh and I were visiting. It was a very momentous occasion and there was a lot of cheer and love. Family is great, isn’t it?
Ok, I got a survey in the mail, and I saw an opportunity to make a post out of it. I decided to make this one of my “facts” for the 100 Facts meme. So Mark, here you go, here are my answers you are so anxious to read. (Was I the first to reply to this?)
If you want to do this, then by all means, copy the questions and get rid of my answers.
