I don't know. I think it must be true because I didn't see anyone else write that. I wrote that because that's how I see things.


edit: had to change a word because I'm sleepy

Shouldn't you get some sleep, then?

Soon I will...

are you trying to get rid of me!?

not in the least.

Yay!

I was just going to do a couple more things online and then I'll be going to bed.

Its Christmas in THIRTY ONE minutes!

Merry Christmas eve, party thread.

Merry Christmas Eve!


Last night we tried something new and went to my boyfriend's parents house--just the boys, their wifeys(or GF in my case ), and the kids. And it was awesome. There weren't any presents exchanged, or any large meals (sandwiches and Arbor Mist and cookies ), but it felt good to belong. After my dad died there was a biiiiig fallout--I haven't seen his side of the family since I was 13. And my mom's side of the family is rather, ahem, bigoted, so I don't see a lot of them either. AND me and my mom's relationship is not the best, to put it mildly.

What's the whole point of this? It made me feel great to feel like I was wanted--or even that I belonged. Sure these people aren't actually blood relatives, but they've made me feel important, and that just means the world to me.

Moral of the story? Love doesn't have to be related, and neither does friendship. This season is much more than just presents and parties, it's about spending time (whether on the phone, email, IM, or snail mail) with people that make our lives just a little bit lighter. And in this day and age, that's what's really important.

Sorry to babble. Happy Holidays Everyone!

I love that story Mirage! It's pretty similar with my family. My parents got a divorce and they both remarried and have new lives and small children so my sisters and I arent really included, but I'm a lucky person, I met my best friend in pre school and I have spent every holiday every year with her family since I was about 12 and they are my family now.
I'm gald you were able to find something similar in careing people.

Aw. *huggles for Mirage* I'm glad you had fun!


I know what you mean. But, it's the opposite. See, I'm closer to my dad's side of the fam. I've never even met my mum's side. My dad died when I was 1, and his side of the fam kinda took to me, because my dad is not my brother's dad. So I was like that one last piece of my dad.


Now I'm babbling, lol. I'll stop myself there. The rest gets a bit depressing, so I'll stop.



Merry (almost) Christmas!!!!!!! *huggles*

It's nice to hear that, Fondue. It's good to know that there are people out there who are willing to do things like that ("adopting" a friend for the holiday)...makes you hold out a little bit of hope for the human race after all! *more Holiday Hugs (tm)*

Thanks my smexy Noodles! *snuggles*

At the risk of becoming TOO depressed, I will say this: I allow myself to think of my dad during this time of year (he died in January), just like I think of all the people that made an impact in my life but aren't around anymore--his family, my best friend, my grandmother, my first dog, Tippy (ok I got a little choked up there )....these people in some way were important to me, and sometimes I don't mind just wallowing in sorrow for a little while. In any case, I'm sorry you've had the same (sorta) experiences as me, Noodles--but we're stronger now because of it. Cheesy and trite? Probably--but also true! *Holiday Huggles (tm)*


I thought of something I forgot to add. I'm not working right now, so I'm at home a lot. You guys have all become a bit of an "online family" to me, and I cant tell you how much I appreciate you all---the conversations, the advice, and most of all the laughter. I've gotten music reccomendations, websites, recipies from you guys and I hope I've given back (if not intelligent conversation) a good time (Heh. Tis the season for some perv!). You all are great people, and I can't thank you enough for including me here.

ENOUGH of these VSPs(VerySpecialMoments)! Let's eat, drink, and be merry. Cheers, everyone!

....and thanks for not laughing at me during my "speeches".

Hey Mirage, I just met you, but you seem cool...and I hope to spend hours pouring over your speeches =P! Anywho....

I'd like to propose a toast! To the wierd, dysfunctional, online family we call the LG15 forums!
