apparently being home all of the time is very stressful and going to rich person school in the middle of the woods has led me to forget all the pressures and difficulties of the real world.

which, loosely translated, means that my mom and my sisters have gone out for a girls' night and my dad has gone out to actually shop for my mother's christmas present and my brother-in-law has abandoned me to pretend that he has friends. (this is all because i didn't come home for thanksgiving. this is coordinated familial revenge.) so it's me and the girls tonight. me and the girls and finger paints and 'frozen'. again. (repeating: revenge. my dad has a copy of 'big hero 6' - we could be watching ROBOTS right now. but, nope. we're watching trolls sing about marriage while wiping our hands on my shirt.)

also, gracie would like to profess her grave disappointment about not being able to see words in my journal anymore. because she knows how to read "like five HUNDRED" of them now. (this is a gross over-exaggeration. she is three and a liar.)

true. but maybe i'm just independent like that.

don't even joke about it. because i would watch that with little to no shame.

Less bougie than I thought.

Adding it to my pile of movie pitches I wish I could send to him.

thank fuck.

maybe if you add a powerpoint. everybody loves a powerpoint.

I knew you hadn't lost your cred.

Star wipes and 3D text art for everyone.

your faith in me has meant everything during these trying times.

hey, so. abrupt. but what're you guys doing on christmas?

I'm your number two fan after Grace.

[Bash]
Probably just getting take out from wherever's open and watching a movie, as is tradition. Why?

she's hard to beat. it's because she fights dirty.

[Lucas]

you want to come over? i mean, it's mostly us sitting around while the girls open more presents than are entirely reasonable and then shoving things that are only in part made by other people down our throats while my dad makes us watch die hard? but.

It's not fair. She's too cute and she uses it to her advantage.

[Bash]
That [...] sounds great. Yeah. I'd love to.

and she knows it. she's been trained well.

[Lucas]

yeah? your mom and dad are invited too if they want. i mean, we don't mind the company if you don't mind being real cramped for a bit.

Yeah. I'm sure they'd love to come, too. I'll tell them. Can't promise mom won't bring booze, tho. Fair warning. [...] Being with you and your family is never cramped. Just [...] comfortable. Thank you for inviting us.

good! i mean, i'm glad. and i can't exactly promise you that there won't already BE booze. my mom already got coquito from the neighbor. we're all doomed.

it's a little bit cramped. i say it with a whole lot of affection, but ours is not a very big house.

Die Hard can only be improved by drunken adults, I'm sure.

Sure, but, still a good time.

die hard is an unparalleled christmas classic.

yeah, we get by okay. i'm just [...] i'm real happy you're coming.

One of my all time favorites. Up there with Addams Family and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Miracle on 34th Street has nothing on Edward Scissorhands.

I wouldn't miss it. Really glad you invited us.

as many off-brand holiday movies as you can pack into a day.

of course. i mean, whole point of the holidays is eating a genuinely distressing amount of food with all the people you love best.

I can only watch The Hebrew Hammer so many times, anyway.

Exactly. I'm [...] glad to have so many people to celebrate with, now. No one I'd rather sleep off a food coma with than you.

and eight crazy nights is [...] a thing.

yeah, sorry, you're kinda screwed now if you want quiet. pretty much ever.

Debatable.

Oh, don't worry. Wouldn't trade what I have now for all the quiet in the world.

i feel like it qualifies as a thing. though the KIND of thing is qualifies as is definitely debatable.

good. cause i wasn't exactly LETTING you go anywhere. i was just apologizing. because that's good manners.

It feels like something that fell through a portal to another dimension. The worst dimension.

Appreciate the thought. Sounds like we're stuck with each other, either way.

yeah, it's [...] the jewish half of my soul feels very let down. where is the die hard of hanukkah?

got to show off the good qualities you've been forced into holidays with.

The Rugrats Hanukkah special isn't bad. It's no Yippee Ki-yay, Alan Rickman, tho.

They're all good qualities to me.

oh man, we're finding that. it's on the list. rugrats was awesome.

you ain't been looking hard enough.

Perfect addition to any holiday couch potato tradition.

I've been thinking I should get to the optometrist, but I also really like what I see, already.

we need more variety. and less frozen.

if what you see's also gonna have you bumping into walls due to perception problems, it's probably better to see all of the questionable qualities and also be able to successfully navigate corners.
