You need to replace smoking with a substitute to keep you busy (clean answers please! ) I know chewing gum doesn't really work too well, but every time you reach to put one in your mouth (again no funnies, I'm talking about cigarettes) just stop and think "I'll just miss smoking this one" and keep doing it..

Just going off topic for a moment I'm listening to Sisters Of The Moon from Oakland 1982 right now and Lindsey has just dedicated it to his mother and two brothers.. "Couldn't have done it without you"... Interesting....

oops, sorry, I meant Merry Assmunchmas!

Yeah, with the five minute intro. I listen to that one all the time, it's my main live version. It rocks/kicks ass. I am, of course, disappointed that Lindsey gets to sing in it, but that's the way of the world. His guitar kicks massive ass, though.

Well, on Christmas Eve my Dad and I usually go to a family style Italian restaurant and join my aunt and uncle and 3 first cousins and my 2 little cousins are also there.
I only exchange with the little ones. I don't know where we are going just yet. I liked the place that we went to a few years ago because they had KILLER Bruschetta!

We eat and have a few laughs and then I go home with Dad for awhile and get my other gifts ready for my friends.

I go over to one of my friends (Kim) house and we exchange gifts and then head to another friend's (Donna) place for open house. We exchange with her and we get to eat some more.


Then I go back home and most likely wrap whatever of my Dad's gifts that I did not wrap yet.

Then Christmas morrning my Dad and I exchange gifts. I will most likely have this look on my face when I get my Dad's gifts but I really just love to give.
We eat our turkey and then I take my nap and that evening I go over to my friend's (Kim again) house and hang with her family for awhile.

Yesterday I was looking into going out to Arizona to visit a friend, but after I seen the rates for Sara and I both round trip, I about gagged. So, I guess I'm stuck here again. My parents are coming over Christmas Eve to open gifts. Sara and I will be here Christmas morning and most of the day so we can play with her toys, then were going to my grandma's for dinner and gifts. That's about the extent of it. I wanted so bad to go to Arizona, but I can't see spending $1000 on plane tickets for a 5 day stay.

I'll be going to London for 4 days (with mum, well, you can't have everything )(jk!)
Which means that on my thirtieth birthday (dec. 24), I'll wake up in London

It's my dream to travel during the holidays in Europe. I know I always have a few places to stay if I ever do....hint hint Mari, Gaius, and you UKers.

Gross, but that just might work. The smell of a wet cig in a garbage can is one of the worst smells I can think of, and this would be many times worse.

Good luck this time, Amber. And remember what I told you (the last time you quit, lol): after 72 hours, it's all in your head, baby! Not smoking cuz your sick is the perfect excuse to never start up again. Be strong!

That's allright, just remember that I live as far away from main tourist attraction Amsterdam as you can be within this country

No worries. I'm used to living in BFE. A holiday in the middle of nowhere would feel like home.

Trust me, the area I live in Finland isn't much to write home to. <- (me being green with envy, or something of the sort).

The two of us shall then sit there awkwardly for a few minutes as we wonder if that was what all the fuss was about. I then resume awkward small-talk which will be spoken too fast, too slow, too high, too low, or generally just be wrong.

The two chums will then sit down for some food. I'll be asked how much I'd like, to which I'll respond "just a small bit of turkey please", and proceed to have a giant ****load dumped on my plate. I'll spend the rest of the day either moaning with a bucket and being cursed at for spoiling the day, or just being cursed at for not magically expanding the size of my stomach for the occasion. Then the Queen will say something about what a memorable year it has been, as my father forces me to get in the pool because he's hot. But before that can happen I'll shut the gate incorrectly and be forced back inside to think about what I've done. On my way back to the house I'll thank the Lord that he was born on this day (or that someone marked it in as this day) so that I could spend it with my alone like this with my father. Then I'll take some valium and I forget what happens after that.

I shall be looking forward to it.
