Dear Dear Diary

Someone asked what I felt about Christmas carols. I answered I hated them. They asked why - so I typed this out to them.

It’s the fact that it’s the same bob-damn songs over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and…

And then you have the variations of the same songs, because every new singer has to produce the same damn songs only make them Unique. So the caterwauling is slightly different and you can no longer sing along.

And then inevitably someone greets you with a smile and is so bob damn happy for the season, and you just want to eviscerate them a rusty spork. The commercials yell BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY and if you aren’t a good person, you won’t buy X item for your loved ones. You don’t love them if you don’t buy them this thing. And the guilt of if you really loved your family you’d go see them and buy them this shit and let’s sing another carol to drive the point home and don’t you have plans for the holidays? and haven’t you just fucking consumed enough?

This is why I just want to consume alcohol, turn off all the lights, unplug the phone and crawl under a pile of blankets and not come out until it’s warmer.

FUCK the holidays. There is nothing Holy about them these days. They’re all fucking cursed and can die in a fire already.

That all being said, I am trying to have a better attitude. I'll go spend time with the family this year and be genuinely happy to see them. And truthfully, if it weren't for the holiday, I'd put off visiting. And put it off. And put it off some more. They'll always be there. Until they won't, and I'll kick myself for what I missed.

This rather schizophrenic blog was started as a fictional blog, written by a character of a story. I've since taken it over for writing personal stuff I don't mind sharing with anyone who cares. I am also writing thoughts about writing and stories that move me.

Anything not marked might be just me, Georg, posting as myself.

It's just this blog, okay? Some of it is story. Some of it is animals. Some of it is knitting. It's a blog.

For story #1, I do recommend starting from the beginning of this blog if you haven't read this before. Please start at the beginning.

I did mean it to be for http://www.nanowrimo.org - but I never got quite got it done under the wire.

CAST:
Jeannie is the author/main character.
Frank is her husband. Poor man.
Tony is musician/singer.
Angie is a teenager, who was Jeannie's best friend. Now currently dead.
Honestly, there is no connection between Jeannie and me and Frank and my husband.

Story #2
Frank and Ether. This will be much weirder than Frank and Jeannie. I like the name Frank. No one expects a Frank to lie.

Story #3
A desert story. Anna is the main character. Currently there is only her little brother and an old servant, and a mysterious redhead.

Story #4
The necro story. A young necromancer heads off to the Hated Ones to find her trousseau.

Story X
Reserving this for one-offs, poems, etc.
