Sorry to make another whiny post, but if someone could come over and cut my head off, my neck would thank you.

I don't want to take any more percoset, but the Advil isn't cutting it. I had a HORRIBLE dream last night about a co-worker jumping to her death and I just don't have the stomach to risk another tranquilizer-fueled night. When I wake up in the middle of it, I'm all anxious but I have no filter to stop it, so I can't sleep or calm down, which sucks. Drugs are bad, mmkay?

I did go into work today, only to be assaulted by the MERRY CHRISTMAS NAZIS. You know, those O'Reilly/Limbaugh clones people who feel like Christmas iz under attack OMG and who force their "MERRY CHRISTMAS" glare on you.

Me (checking out books to what appears to be a perfectly rational adult human): Here you go. Your movies'll be due back by Tuesday. Have a good night!

Obviously not-rational-subhuman: *glares and says pointedly* MERRY CHRISTMAS *menacing, I-dare-you tone*

Me: Oh! Have a good night! *smart-ass grin* *walks away*

I always return a greeting when it's spoken politely, but it'll be a cold day in a hot climate before I'll be badgered into it. Asshat.

I'm just one lovely ray of sunshine, aren't I? 8-|

*snuggles*

I want you to be better. I do. *wishes on stars*

Also, Christmas Asshat is well...an asshat. I hate people like that.

You sound like me throwing my gingerbread house in the garbage tonight. . .About the third time I said shit as the house fell apart (Christopher saying. . MOM! that's a bad word!) I gave up on the fucking thing. . .

And what the fuck is the deal with the Christmas is under attack shit. . .I don't get it. . .Am I the only one that knows that a Christmas tree is a PAGAN symbol! Hello! Celts saw the pine tree as a scared symbol because it stayed green and live looking through the winter. . .They decorated it to bring them good luck and remind them of the coming spring. . . What does the birth of Jesus have to do with that. . . I get so annoyed with that I can't even THINK about it right now. . .

On a side note. . . I'm sorry you're sick! That sucks. . . Get feeling better!

Plenty of people know about the pagan stuff, but we've apparently failed to make much headway against the Christmas Crazies. *rolls eyes as good-naturedly as possible*

You could always pretend to be Jewish and wish them a Happy Hanukkah. Especially since it starts Christmas Day this year... :3

Or you could make up your own winter holiday and wish them good tiding for it.

Yes, it annoys me that people shove Christmas down other people's throats.

I probably could not contain myself from going into a tirade about this being a secular (ha) country where everyone is allowed to celebrate whatever holiday they want, and that there are many holidays at the end of the year (which would probably launch me into a tirade that I learned in Intro to Folklore about the Christians just "modifying" all the Pagan holidays to their will in order to get the people to join their religion...) and that shoving Christmas greetings down a person's throat though seemingly harmless could result in utmost insultation (and possible pulveration, oh getting beat up over a Christmas greeting would be soooo funny).

Yes, Christmas Asshats are bad.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Christmas was never under attack! For years, cards that said "Season's Greetings" were mailed and nobody said shit.

This is another thing those right wing weirdos made up to keep us away from the real issues...particularly the war with Iraq.

There have been letters to the editor written by the Xmas Nazis in my local paper. I have been so tempted to write in, but part of me thinks it is hardly worth my time.

In my store, we wish everyone "Happy Holidays." It's a good thing most of my clientele is Jewish, so I am out of this whole weirdness.

You know, I'm all for the Yuletide feeling and that, because I grew up with Christmas and stuff, but I respect the fact that there are PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO DON'T CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF SOME CARPENTER DUDE IN A MIDDLE-EASTERN COUNTRY TWO MILLENIA AGO WHO WASN'T BORN DURING DECEMBER ANYWAY AND WHO'S FOLLOWERS LATER DECIDED TO TAKE OVER SATURNALIA AND THE CELTIC YULE FESTIVITIES TO MAKE MORE OF THEIR CHRISTIAN CLONES!!!

::pants:: Yeah, I respect Christians, too. Or at least I try to do so. But damn it's getting harder when they come in like secret ops in the middle of the night to put their nativity scenes on the steps of federal courthouses and stuff so we all have to look at it. Or the fact that since their 'boys' are the majority in power right now, that they can't take into account religious beliefs other than their own.

Oh yeah, and I agree with what everyone above said. My cards this year are saying 'Happy Yule' because, damnit, I'm Pagan in my spiritual views anyway even if I don't follow one particular religion.

Hell, my mother is a Priestess of Isis and her holiday cards are going to be interesting. hehe.

Drugs are bad, but if you need them for actual pain they can work. Maybe you can ask your doctor if there are any alternatives? There are a lot of different pain meds out there, maybe they could give you something not as harsh as percoset but stronger than Advil.

Not many people are allowed to say Merry Christmas around here anymore, but the good thing is that when they do it's quite nice. I guess it's different in different areas of the country. I try to make it a point to wish people a cheery Merry Christmas.
