06DecTen reasons to drink during the holidays

• You can tolerate your in-laws
• Beer goggles — who said the holidays have to be lonely?
• Why eat your calories when you can drink them?
• You give the best gift…alcohol
• New Year’s resolutions seem attainable when you’re drunk
• You love everyone…and everyone loves you
• Be the funny guy at the party
• Drinking in winter means staying warm…or at least feeling like you are
• You bring spirit to the occasion, literally
• The holidays go by much quicker

    i don’t need to drink to tolerate the in-laws. I love mine!

    oh, i love mine to, we are just very different people. I can totally deal with visits.. but extended visits lasting days?? I will definately either be drinking a little or out a lot. i just am an alone time kinda gal.

    hehe we usually just go down once a week. Maybe twice but not too often.

    have you heard from mouse at all?

    the last time i saw him was last year. he was in edmonton for somem wicked heart failure stuff. he was there to see the specialist.. no idea what happened after that. He was totally different.. but living with Norma would do that. poor guy.

    heart failure??? holy shit!

  7. Gravatar Icon 7 xmichra07 Dec 2005

    ya, it was really serious. like life or death kind of stuff. i have been terrified to call Norma.. but i know i could. just i don’t know if i want to hear bad news.. you know?? I know, i suck and I should call her

    I understand. wow. I dunno what to say. I kinda stopped talking to everyone when I moved to Vancouver, and now that I am in the states, I’m trying to track down old friends. Its not too easy.

    I suppose it isn’t easy. I hardly talk to anyone either. I caught mouse only because my grandmother was a tthe hospital the exact same time. so it was a fluke… otherwise i would have not ever seen him.

    I talk to Amber and thats about it. Oh, and Kaye (candi) if you knew her.

    candi….sounds familar. she prolly doesn’t remember me…i was not too popular in H.S

  11. Gravatar Icon 11 xmichra07 Dec 2005

    she vaugely rememebers you, because you hung out with Mouse. You were a year under us though were you not?

  12. Gravatar Icon 12 ed07 Dec 2005

    I think so. I hung out with you guys, cause you were cool, I hoped it would rub off on me!

  13. Gravatar Icon 13 xmichra07 Dec 2005

    hahaha.. you are so cute eddie!! I was not cool, no where near it. I was liked by a lot of people, but was never “in” the in crowd. I was like some freak that attached to whatever group was there a tthe time. I have many an issue about my lack of identity back then. I just wasnt’ conformist at all.. so I floated. I sucked back then too ;)

  14. Gravatar Icon 14 ed07 Dec 2005

    you guys were cool to me! lol

    you don’t suck!

  15. Gravatar Icon 15 xmichra07 Dec 2005

    haha. thanks anyways. i had a hard time ‘relating’ to most people back then. so i generally didnt get to actually know very many people. Ask amber one day.. she will throw you a thousand word essay.. haha.

    Anyways, i thought you were cool to hang with. Nothing annoying or asshole-ish. so i don’t know why you thought you weren’t ‘cool’. but i never really hung out with you that much.. so i could be way wrong there.

    hehehe thanks!
