I barely survived going to grandma’s.

My cousins’ kids are out of control. They were running and jumping and screaming and throwing things (keep in mind my grandma’s house is quite small). A couple of them had trucks that made loud noises everytime you pressed the buttons. And my cousins did NOTHING about it.

I tried to play my 3DS but that didn’t help.

I’m never having kids.

Daily reminder we were all kids at some point.

I'd certainly have a looong list of stupid shit I have done.

Finished my Christmas yesterday. So weird to go back to work after Christmas but I gotta remember that I used to work on Christmas Day like a year ago.

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas, dear TET. I spent my Christmas day playing CK2, as that was my main gift for Christmas, and I honestly feel like this was one of my best Christmases yet.

Merry Christmas, Pasong!

I had a great Christmas Day, although the feelings of isolation have started creeping back.

ideological framework of the Singaporean People's Action Party | "New Deal"-style societal regimentation | Kantian/Mohist/Stoic philosophy

I hate being reminded of the shit I did because I was young and stupid. My cousin had to remind me of the fact I broke her Nintendo 64 when I was like 8 today.

I just had a flashback to a particular stupidity of mine, and...

Yeah, the past is the past, it is best to not remember 'em.

I tried to ask out a friend of mine. This was two years ago.

You know how that ended?

She stopped talking to me, and has been doing everything she can to undermine me.

I suspect she was a fake one. Maybe she was struck by the fact I had the audacity to do it?

I doubt it. I heard she was spreading rumors for a whole before.

That's excellent to hear!

As for my own Christmas, I...think it'll be better next year. Quite uneventful and frugal.

How many uncles typically say that during your Christmas gatherings?

Can you tell them to chill a bit? I mean, jeez, they did some pretty weird stuff.

Meanwhile, as everytime I hear my maternal family (who hails largely from Angola) speak about the natives, it is always in a positive or neutral light.

To be fair, considering that one of my half-grand-aunts was half-black and my great-grandfather had many shags with the pretty black women, I can see why they are so open to friendliness.
