I just hate parking in general. My dad had this bright idea of making me park on like my third time driving ever. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Yeah.. right. There was this nice wide stall(2 in a row empty, in fact), so my dad was like 'whip in here'. Simple enough. [img]tongue.gif[/img] 5 minutes later, I'm still trying to get straight, since I was halfway into the other stall and cars were busy honking at me since I was taking up road space too. Eventually my dad just kicked me out of the drivers seat and got us parked. I've hated parking since. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Whew I'm exhausted LOL. 11 hours of Christmas, finally everyone's gone... Was pretty a pretty fun Christmas mostly, we ate, we played all kinds of different Christmas music, exchanged gifts, then had a few beers and gabbed, watched a few strange shows on TV and all laughed about it. Again was a pretty good Christmas [img]smile.gif[/img] But even as fun as it is, after 11 hours man, you are just mentally worn out from all the talking at the least LOL.

Hope everyone's holiday was a nice one as well! [img]smile.gif[/img]

So...Christmas from Lyle's perspective:

Last Year: Ate waaaay too much at my aunt's, then at my grandmother's.

This Year: Ate waaaaay too much at my aunt's, then my grandmother's, but was relieved from the nuisance of digesting by a nasty bug.

Last Year: Got lots of presents.

This Year: Got lots of presents, including some spiffy pants.

Last Year: Stayed at grandparent's until midnight.

This Year: Stayed at grandparent's until midnight, then was at my uncle's til two.

Last Year: There was a snowstorm, and our car got two flats on the drive home at 1 o'clock in the morning.

This Year: It was rainy and nasty, but my car had already broken down the day before Christmas Eve, so I thought I was in the clear...til the alternator belt broke on my sister's car...

Yep...Christmas as always!

11 hours! Whew, that's a Christmas Marathon, LZ! But it's great you had fun and enjoyed the day!

We visited friends for almost that long and had a very nice time. Ate, exchanged gifts, ate some more, played with various things we got.. LOL, ate some more..ugh...I think I had one too many cookies!

Sir Goulum · 12-27-2005, 08:31 PM

Hee, joined the boxing day madness and got myself a TV, from Best Buy
A pretty good deal I thought, $500 off and they gave me 20% off the wall mount as well. I would have gotten another $100 off the TV if I purchased an extended warranty, but I wanted to have some money left over in the piggy bank.
Sheesh, now I have to wait until thursday to get it... dunno if I can wait that long.

Am I the only person who's starved for a new PC game? I know my tastes are specific. Usually I play RPG's and Strategy games and I like 'em turn based. I havn't bought anything new in some time.

I'm really looking forward to Heroes 5 and Dark Messiah.

What is everyone playing right now?

*Gives Johnny a big christmas hu... I mean... a manly slap on the back

Hope everyone is treating well and being treated even better

*glides out

Cloudbringer · 12-28-2005, 08:23 AM

Happy new tv, Sir G!

Downunda! HI HI HI! Don't be a stranger, mr!

Variol, I don't have quite the same requirements for games so I guess I have more to choose from....well and the fact I'm slow as molasses about finishing them! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img] I still have games going that I started last year...sigh.. someone please give me the winning lottery numbers so I can have time to play more often!
