Not that we’re German or anything.

Saturday, December 25th, 2004

My dad and my little sister are into learning German right now. Don’t ask; they just are.
Anyways, my dad downloaded the lyrics to a lot of Christmas Carols and made my mom play them on the piano and us all gather around and sing. Merry and I sang along in English while Dad and Jackie […]

Christmas 2

Saturday, December 25th, 2004

Christmas is meant to be about good will towards your fellow man, charity towards the poor and unfortunate, and peace on earth. But is it? And has it ever been? It seems to me that Christmas has become a cynical, commercialized thing, manipulated by marketers and centered around the bottom line. TBS is showing the […]

Let it Snow

Thursday, December 23rd, 2004

Because trying to stop it would be pointless anyways.
We have 16 inches of snow here in Hamilton, OH, ladies and gentlemen. Not a record or anything, but enough, in li’l ol’ Butler County, to earn a level 3 snow emergency. That means that unless you’re an emergency vehicle, you’re liable to be arrested if you’re […]

Gimpy Strikes Again

Monday, December 20th, 2004

If I were to describe myself at this moment, phrases like “bumbling idiot,” “clumsy oaf,” and “hopeless klutz” would be what came to mind.

Sunday, December 19th, 2004

So this past week-end we celebrated Christmas with my Mom’s side of the family. I of course sat with my foot propped up like the gimp I am, holding my various cousins’ babies and completely defenseless against the obssessive picture-taking by people with new digital cameras (ordinarily I can at least run away).
I love my […]

Post-Op Update

Sunday, December 19th, 2004

So I went to the doctor for a post-op so she could take x-rays (I still haven’t seen any…grr…I’d like proof that this surgery worked, at least), look at the incision, spray it with antiseptic spray that stung like fun, change the bandage, and show me some extremely painful and irksome stretches and exercises that […]

Gimpy Checks In

Monday, December 13th, 2004

Hello, all.
Perhaps you knew or perhaps you didn’t, I’m a survivor.
I have officially survived all of my finals, and surgery, both within a week. Since then I have been doped up on percadan (a very very strong painkiller, I like it, I like it a lot, nice percadan, my little friend…can you tell I’m doped […]
