And another thing...
My town has to have the most unfriendliest, most unhelpful people on this earth. If the town were to be taken over by vampires, I would drive a stake through everyone's hearts. If the planet were to blow up, I would not tell everyone how to hitch a ride, nor would I tell them to take a towel with them. Bah I say.
It's the holidays right? Tends to bring out the worst behavior in people. No one holds the door open for me while I'm pushing a stroller. I'm dropping boxes in the road. No help. Disgusted. Every man for himself. I was buying wine, and this woman kept getting in front of me, on purpose. I was going to buy all the good wine you know.
Driving is even worse. People are cutting each other off, maybe they have started drinking early. Maybe that's not a bad idea, but I think I'll just stay home.

Sounds just like our town. Good old season of good will eh?
Oooow, poor you -- I would most certainly have picked up your boxes and held the door for you :-) I just cannot walk past people like that -- what the hell is wrong with people? I believe it was David who once wrote on his block that the majority of the people in this world are arseholes [something along those lines anyway] -- I agreed straight away. And I still do.
Sounds like all of DENMARK!! Full of rude people who will not even say hello back, nod or give you a wee smile when you greet them in the street -- no thank you when you hold the door for them, no idea what the hell a queue* is, etc......sigh....

"Batman smells" ---> LOL LOL :-)
You really are upset you did not get to be Batman in that quiz, eh? :-)
Not holding the door open for someone with a stroller is just bad karma!
Maybe miss wine bitch wanted you to stick the bottle up her bum-bum and that's why she was cutting in front of you.
Probably time for me to stay out of the mulled wine.....
Merry Christmas PG!!

Hope you had a good one, that the stress is all over, and it is time to kick back and relax. Here's to the new year.
Oh, and Lilly, I heard an amusing story of a Greek guy trying to get his head round English spelling and pronunciation. He knew the word 'through' (i.e. pronounced 'threw'), but was amazed and more than a little dismayed to discover that 'tough' was 'tuff' and 'bough' was 'bow'. The list goes on.
Hahaha :-) That is SO true, David. I know exactly how the poor Greek must have felt! It can be frustrating at times but that is also what makes learning/practising another language a lot of fun -- Alan in particular gets plenty of laughs everytime he asks me to pronounce a given name of a town/city/place in Scotland. And of course, I laugh [laff] just as much when he pronounces them correctly afterwards!
For instance:
Torphichen
Ballachulish
Auchermuchty
Poor girl. I had similar non holiday friendly experiences. What is it about xmas that brings out people's inner ahole?
I'd have helped you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, sweet Painter Girl -- hope 2006 will be full of joy, laughter and lots of other good stuff. You deserve that :-)
I have been so terrible with my blog. Christmas is never easy. It was quiet here, and although I don't like my huge family gatherings, I miss them too. It's hard to strike a between point.
Lilly-I do have this batman thing going on, and it's because of the quiz. You are so funny to have posted that. I hope you have a wonderful near year's too!!
acu-Thanks sister! I was really really down on Peekskill and ready to move a few days ago. Honest. And the rude people did not help. I'm willing to stay longer, but i have to see this city give something back.
More about this on another post.
Hope you have a super duper new year. Did you guys go sown to time square?
David-Christmas stress is horrible. All these expectations. It's never the same after you grow up. It's great having kids and reliving it somewhat, but it's never the same.
hey lb-Thanks to you too sister! I think I have always held the door open, even for people capable. I'm just a polite person. I tend to scowl a lot and mutter. The holidays make me hate people so much. Hope you guys have a great new year!!
