another board game
well i forgot the remembrance of my mothers suicide...i was off by two days i suppose thats not too bad. not that theres a balloon release ceremony or anything its just the kick off to my holidays for the last 16 years...suicide.thanksgiving.christmas. needless to say its really put a damper on all the festivities...oh did i mention her birthday was on christmas too...her and jesus.anyways that really adds to the willingness to skip all holiday affairs...i could revel in the savings ive accrued not having to buy those 2 presents every year...hmm which is prolly about 1600 to date but then id havta tally all those presents that i also missed out on
the final christmas my mother was alive(barely) she was too drugged to make it the shops so her drunk boyfriend gave me money and i shopped for my own gifts and my mother wrapped them...
i opened the sweatshirt i had purchased on christmas morning and my mother said "I knew youd love it when i picked it out!" and i said "Yea mom you did fantastic!"
men are terrible holiday shoppers...there was one year my father shopped and my sister and i received only board games...imagine our horror...kerplunk.sorry.operation.scatergories and were both sore losers. that was the last year my father shopped while my mother was still alive and usually shed go overboard like most women do...men never go overboard..i bet we got exactly 200 dollars worth of board games that year...exactly.
my sister and i just sat there starring at eachother that christmas of 1992 disgusted...if we had been able to see into the future and the disappointments that lay ahead...we may have looked into an intervention more seriously but prolly not cos drug addicts dont buy that great of gifts either
