I'd wish everybody a Merry Christmas or Happy Channukah, but I don't feel like it, so instead you can picture me raising my middle and index finger in the world's general direction and leave it at that. Not that my holiday is going that badly, I'm just rather sick of being around people and having to play nice.
Just to prove that my traveling luck still sucks, the spare tire I was driving on on Thursday went flat less then five minutes after I left the house to get a new one. This left me stranded in a nearby state park where the park rangers were very amazed that I, as a female, could competently change a tire. Of course, I didn't have a spare tire to change it to so was forced to call my dad, have him bring a spare, discover his spare doesn't fit, discover his backup spare doesn't fit, have him drive me to the tire place and get both tire and spare fixed, drive back to the park, change the tire and escape out of the park literally a minute before they closed the gates for the evening.
My father doesn't like Christmas much, so we always do our gift exchanges early, namely, last night, so I now have Yu Yu Hakusho Dark Tornament part 1 and 2 to watch, while my bro has the entire Monty Python's Flying Circus and Dad has Sharpe and Mr. & Mrs. Smith which we all watched and enjoyed last night.
The only problem with eggnog and brandy is that you have to drink a hell of a lot of eggnog to even get a buzz. Must be something about it that slows the alchohol's effects *pout* I have spent most of the day reading fics and making icons, though I'm annoyed that the site I was reading seems to be frelled in that all of the links turn up a 404, and I'm sure no one will fix it until after tomorrow. Bah.
