The holidays are fast approaching- here are your neighbour's plans
November 9th 2007 04:01
No no, I don't actually know what your neighbours are planning. There was something illegal about getting that info... invasion of privacy or something... but anyway, I know what my neighbours are planning and I'm more than willing to share their plans with you!
Aparantly there is this thing called 'family' that requires a yearly pilgramige from its members if they wish to call themselves part of the clan. Sounds like one of those dangerous brainwashing cults if you ask me, but you didn't ask me so that's enough of that.
A fair number of persons I came into contact with stated that traditionally they gather at the Leader's lodge foran extra dose of brainwash dinner and a catch up. Days are spent together playing a game of backyard cricket, swimming and/or just enjoyingh each other's company. For those of you that think I've been brainwashed for mentioning swimming at this time fo year, please bear in mind I -and my research Rodents- reside in the southern hemisphere.
Now while its so totally undeniable that mass migration does occur at this time of year, it would not be wise to think that it is all about gathering with biological peers; sometimes it's about getting away.
You're sick of your family, job, studies etc and you go somewhere for a little r&r. Or, you love your partener but seperate holidays have been on your to-do list for a while now and currnelty they're at the very top in bold, neon letters and a big, red underline. Too much love will kill you every time, to Quote the song by Queen, so there are those among us that employ the absense makes the heart grow fonder logic. Not enough of these people around, I say.
For every couple that can function independently, it seems I've head the misfortune of meeting 10 that can't. Going to the movies with the girls? Well the boyfrined must be invited! How could eighter of them bear a day apart? Planning your birthday with friends/ family you haven't seen in a while and are desperate to catch up with? Well somebody's partener must be brought along and paraded as a trophy. If such couples are the vermin of the earth, then the holiday season is their cheese with extra cheese on top. Now, where did I put that parmesan looking poison?
Sorry, you musn't let me go off on a tangent like that, now I've forgotten my point. Oh yes, Holiday plans; in summation, these year's will tend to inlcude travel, friendly sport, and people we have an emotional connection to. Right, well, call me when you're done.
