☠ Mind the Gap ☠ - (*) -
The neighbour is playing Christmas music. KILL!
No matter how prepared I think I am...I always feel like I'm forgetting something.
UGH! last minute changes and arrangements.
...Is it wrong that I am considering hopping a flight in the opposite direction?

!!!! <3 <3 I had no idea you listened to Starset!!
Lynx - I don't really, that was just one of those songs that came up, it wasn't bad so I added it.
Lol I get you. Im like that with so many bands. Do you like any other of their songs?
Haven't really listened to much from them, but I'm open to suggestions. Perhaps yours will be better than itunes and google. Theirs were crap yesterday. I was getting some off the wall suggestions, because you liked "___________" we recommend "_________", most of which wasn't anything to my liking.
I swear, if my name appears on the passenger list, that flight will automatically be delayed.
Ricochet, Frequency, It Has Begun, and Halo are some good ones. Im tired so more aren't jumping to mind right away. Then there is Rise and Fall which is the song which saved my life then helped me pull through after
aw'ight I'll have to give those a listen.
so.......I'm an uncle. Not quite sure how I feel about that. Happy for my sister and all just.....not quite sure what is require of me? I mean an uncle? what do I do? ...ah crap, wait, I have to buy gifts, b-days and Christmas.... do infants use giftcards? I'll leave the shopping to Cass.....oh crap, another downside to this. smh I'm doomed, aren't I?
Well congrats on being an uncle, I'm an aunt many times over.
thanks. I'm too young to be an uncle. Shouldn't there be an age requirement? I'd be ok with an age restriction for that.
Lol. Congrats. You sound exactly like me every time I visit my cousins. I never know what to do. And now my best friend is preggo with twins and we are their godparents and I have no idea what to do with kids..... so I completely understand.
Well Nate, my half siblings are way older than me so I've been an aunt for years. my nieces and nephews range between 2-19, and I'm 22 almost 23. So...

I told them later, I have to work up to that...what if I drop it? & it keeps looking at me...creepy thing.

I grant you, your freedom. From this day forth You are free from babysitting and gift buying obligations.
I have a half sister, half brother and two step sisters. I never see my nieces and nephews from my half siblings really, and they're the ones closest in age, or some of them. I think of them more as cousins. My step sisters who I'm closer to have younger ones who I see more often.
I love them but they drive me nuts, babysitting has been what made me decide I never want kids of my own.

And babies tend to stare at me and idk what to do with them and *shudders* it's weird. And they keep threatening to put them in ladybug costumes and make me hold them
*BING*! Lynx you're a genius that is an excellent idea, I dress the tyke in a spider outfit ( a hairy spider) and Cass won't wish to hold it quite so much thus suppressing this whole 'Kid' thing.
I had a customer, that shoved her infant into my arms while we were trying to hook her vehicle up and she needed to get somethings from the car....smh It was quite traumatizing. I've never really recovered. I held it at arms length and it kept looking at me and giggling....*shudders* creepy little thing.
Elizabeth wrote: "I love them but they drive me nuts, babysitting has been what made me decide I never want kids of my own."I don't need to babysit to know that. JK
I'm still just ..beyond shocked. & We still have to keep it secret cus my parents don't know yet.

Lol as long as she doesn't take a steel-toed shoe to it. XD
Dude same. I have only been forced to hold a baby a couple of times and it was so awkward. I just held it however they gave it to me, a little away from my body so it wouldn't, like, vomit on me or anything. It was so uncomfortable

I'll message you.
I got absolutely NO sleep last night and tonight it's hitting me, I'm tired and there is a house full of ppl....
So I was given the option, peel potatoes or watch the kid...I chose peel potatoes, now the kids asleep. I'd like to renegotiate.
Family is like alcohol, too much will give you a headache. Happy Thanksgiving!
Highlights of the last week :I'm an uncle ...not quite sure that's a highlight
No body died
There were no fights or major drama
My brother caught an oven mitt on fire Thanksgiving day. That was quite a comical scene.
I got the bigger half of the wishbone.
I shot my brother in-law in the leg with a bb gun. I think he created a new dance move. Another comical scene.
Down falls:
I'm an uncle
Somewhere out there is a VERY happy Christmas tree lot helper...I accidentally handed a bit more of a tip than I had intended...about 10x more. *Palm forehead*
TRAFFIC! I'm never leaving the house again, ok not really but. I was starting to get Road rage and I wasn't even driving!
Holiday is over back to reality.
THEY CLOSED FIVE GUYS!!! wtf This is a very sad day. The horror smh
Ok, five guys closing is a tragedy to all that is good and delicious. As for the rest, it sounds like your holiday was much more eventful than mine. How'd your mom react to having a grandkid?
IKR?! tragic, it is. Typical mum, cried, then cried some more, a bit overjoyed.
I even held the kid...he didn't break, so that was a plus.
just to be clear I am still the last of the bloodline as it stands.
Hahaha. Glad to hear the baby survived its encounter with you. XD Lol you really like that, don't you?
baby seems like much too endearing of a term considering we know nothing of this tykes personality, he could prove to be quite evil, which I'd be all for but time will tell. Yes I am quite proud that....not sure why but I rather like it.
1:47 AM I shall try this thing ppl rave about called sleep. Wish me luck.
...I'd ask but I'm afraid to know the answer.
Now playing; Ancient Light - Allman Brown
Things said that have stuck with me this week..."Somethings...people are too broken to be fixed,"
"Everyone is somebody's someone,"
"Where you've been is only half the journey,"
"Don't let the city lights dim the stars,"
"Be careful, Luv,...many a man in their quest to earn a living have forgotten to live."
"The richest man I knew died penniless,"
I suck at collecting souls, still in need of six....proof that I fail at soul searching.
Debating if I should go into work early or not.
