Merry Christmas to all!

The Exchange

Cold are the people, Winter of life, We tremble in shadows this cold endless night, Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping, Flowers that will echo the sunrise, Fire of hope is our only warmth, Weary, its flame will be dying soon.

Ahh, Christmas. Here's to getting kicked out of the apartment by your girlfriend's mother at six in the morning, then having to spend the rest of the day with your own mother, who tends to unintentionally make life a living f%#+ing hell.

Normal people give gifts because they want to be nice. My mother gives gifts because she wants people to "owe" her. Awesome.

Makes you want to start drinking, doesn't it.

Raised by his grandmother being told his mother was his sister.

Here with you guys.
Is the store busy today?

It's fifteen minutes past the time we were scheduled to close, and we're already home. So no. Dead as Marley's ghost.

Merry Christmas Eve to all the observant Fawtlies and Paizonians. May your days be merry and bright!

Was the holiday shopping season busy overall?

Fairly decent, yeah. Not as good as the retail reports I've seen quoted, but we're not a major retailer, nor are we in a standard location.

How's life, CH?

Life's decent enough. Took my mom out to dinner last night for her birthday (which was actually Tuesday). Doing some last minute sorts of stuff today. Christmas is too expensive.
Your mom kicks ass! Please tell your birthday sister I said happy belated birthday!!!!
Oddly, It's also my partner's mom's birthday. Both December 21.

Hmm, Dec 21 is my sister's birthday. I don't recall her having any children, but she did spend several months in California in the 70s....

It's all true. Puffins can and do break dance with the best of them!


Finally found this, after years of searching. Make sure your kids(or anyone who doesn't like violent Christmas parodies) are far, far away from these.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like another zombie apocalypse dream. Yet again I was trying to hide my transformation and decomposing body from everyone around me, but this one was a lot more gory (people's faces getting torn off and such). I had a moment of lucidity right at the point where people found me out and were going to destroy me, and decided it was a good time to wake up. How were your Christmases?


Aaah. Day after Christmas. So much less stress. :)
Survived Christmas at the in-laws. They were perfectly fine, but the kidlet is still having panic attacks when he's around a lot of people. Although he did behave well, so that's something.
He still has presents to open since we're giving them to him a little at a time, which keeps things calmer for him. Definitely doing that again next year.

I'm glad that Kellen took the whole Santa thing so well. And that he was able to turn it around and be excited about being able to be Santa for his younger siblings.


My christmas wish came a day late! It's SNOWING!!!! Blizzard conditions are expected for Brooklyn!! WOOOT!!!

Zombie Apocalypse Dreams are next up for my Atomic Array rants. Mind if I cite your particular dream? I've never heard of anyone taking the "guy who hides that he was bitten" angle. That's really interesting.

I'm not sure if it helps, but I'm probably not alone in this, so I'll share:

Personally, I can tell when life's stresses are reaching a high point when the Zombie Apocolypse Dreams start up. For me, zombies are the perfect symbol for unrelenting stress...they just. Never. STOP!

I've also found myself in a few dreams where I've been the one infected, but usually the "bad dream" portion involves having to tell my wife and kids that I'm never coming home. Being in the Navy, I'm sure there are concerns about deployments buried in the symbolism, there.

By far, the worst ones are when my children get infected. Thankfully, those don't happen very often. I guess my subconscious knows there are some places even it shouldn't go. ;-)

I am so glad that I don't usually dream or rather do not remember it if I do.

Wow. Powerful stuff, Paris. This will definitely enrich the content of what I was thinking of saying. Permission to cite you and your story implied?

As a teenager I remember every little part of certain dream scenes. Now it's a rarity. Remembering a dream usually happens because something external woke me up in the middle of one.

Cite away. It's a recurring theme in my zombie dreams. They always start out with me becoming stricken and the rest of the dream is spent concealing it from zealous zombie-slayers.

Not sure how to interpret that. Some latent fear or outsider syndrome?

Heh heh...I have more like "post apoc" dreams; more Road Warrior than Zombie Horde;....

Zombie apocalypse has become such a prevalent trope....I think it's the western of the 2-ought's (whatever you call that decade). It's like a subgenre now, man. Same way westerns are a subgenre of action...
(or whatever the f@*# you'd call Little House On teh Prerriz...)

I was wondering if there was some sort of underriding psychological drive to it; and CH's dreaming about it kinda makes me wonder more.

Is that you, Lil Joe?
