a capper to the week or is the upcoming week off to a stellar start

Mom woke me up this morning.

Mom: You awake (meaning did I wake you up)
Me: You hear me talking don't you (yes you did wake me up)
Mom: We're having freezing rain
Me: Lucky you
Mom: Me and your brother bought ALL the same gifts
Me: ALL?
Mom: Yes. You didn't send an amazon wish list so we ended up buying exactly the same thing from Right Stuf and Think Geek.
Me: I DID send the wish list. it was the subject line of the email. Go to amazon and find my wish list AND here are some other items
Mom: Neither one of us saw that
Me: (you're both stupid) Okay then.
Mom: Will Right stuf take things back?
Me: never bought from them until this month so I don't know
Mom: would any of your friends want ANY of this stuff
Me: (ruminates) yes actually I think so. I'll just pay you for this but I think silvrethorn would like ... for her birthday and Rain would definitely get a kick out of ... NONE of you got me anything from Amazon? I haven't bought Manga in three months waiting for the holidays. Head desk.

Mom: Your brother's office (He's a Physical therapist) was robbed.
Me: really? that sucks
Mom: they robbed the doctor next door last week and came back adn robbed the entire medical complex on friday
Me: lovely

Dear Roy

You do NOT need me to stand in the kitchen and watch you eat. You are capable of consuming food without supervision or showing off. Why does every male cat I get do this to me?

Also you stared longingly at the futon so i cleaned it up for you and then you try to go UNDER it. Guess what I'm storing stuff there now. Making a HUGE show of trying to get under and finally flopping just at the lip of the futon cover is not going to make me feel sorry for you a second time and move the storage. Sleep where you are.

Dear ThinkGeek

You ask for gift message info but the only way to put in a different shipping address is to remove mine. WTF?



Dear Landlord
HOW cheap are these appliances? One side of my stove isn't working and the cheese drawer just snapped off the fridge.

*dies laughing*

No, seriously. At least Judy and Johnny checked with each other before wrapping presents and giving them to you.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes at least there is that.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That could've been very funny, actually - you opening something from him and saying, "Oh, thanks, Johnny!" and your mom saying, "But I got you that!"

I have spent a nice amount of money on Think Geek this week. The "key tool" for my sister's boyfriend AND a create-a-straw... he's got a thing for crazy straws...

A couple USB Owls... one for me, Grey. :D

Good thing your people checked with you... too bad they are duplicates, but AWESOME that they know what you like. :)

He's a geologist and has played D&D. I think we'll keep him. ;)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'd keep him, yes

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you can spend tons of money there. ijust did too

it's less awesome when you know i gave them all the links to what i wanted so they wouldn't have to think about it. some people get angry when you give them wish lists but luckily my family isn't am ong them

I was waiting for your mom to say something about your grandmother... like, she was going to the hospital but did a commando style attack on the paramedics which left one dead and the other paralyzed and she was on the run to Bolivia or something.

All the same gifts? What are the odds?

Heck, Dickens will eat with or without supervision. Have food, will nom.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

pretty good. I give them a list. my brother just picks the first 5 things on it.

Both my boy cats want me to watch them eat and shit. They're deranged

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

eh i dont' want to be surprised. I prefer they pick the stuff from my list.
