Suicide Watch
"Oh my god! You're in town for the holiday? ....What?!?! And you're spending it alone? ... And you intend to actually get some stuff done on the ACTUAL
What is wrong with people? Can't a busy girl get some peace and quiet? A little "alone time" if you will? I'm a happy girl. Do these people think the moment I'm alone I'm going to OD on Aleve in a feeble attempt to "stop the insanity"?
It just so happens that Christmas came early for me this year. I made a conscious choice to enjoy what little down time I'd have before the New Year and the chaos of three more freelance projects. I've been looking forward to this time alone for weeks now. I know I'm not going to have time for sleep or proper hygiene in another week, so I'm savoring every moment of solitude now.
It's nothing personal people; I'd just rather be alone doing my low-key thing and enjoying my freedom instead of eating your holiday ham and sweet potatoes with a side of lame-neighbors-you-barely-know and an extra helping of dysfunctional-family-awkwardness.
Note to boys: It might be different if we were having an actual relationship, or you had asked me in advance. Asking me over on Christmas eve doesn't count when you knew I was going to be here a month in advance. And I DON'T want to meet your family!
Thanks for the invitation, but when I decline, please just accept it graciously so we can still be friends.

Hola MD,
What mood is upity? I am so enjoying reading about all the adventures you are about to have over the festive season. Christmas and New Year always bring with it a wonderful feeling of holiday and spontanaity with me, like the world for a while isn't so serious and it is all about enjoying friends and family and forgetting your everyay stresses.
Along witht he holiday season though as i read on in your blog, i must definately saay in my family too comes the family dramas. Why when Christmas is suppose to be a happy time does everyone fight, argue and become stressed more then any time during the previous year.
Wow i can't believe some boys will invite someone they had;y even know to their house foor dinner- maybe they are getting hassled by their mothers to settle down- and no how horrible, you clearly don't want to meet the family of the guy you hardly know on Christmas Eve.
Regards, A
