Quote of the year is a mix of San Francisco...
If it bothers you that much, he’s off in the red light district having sex with 20 people who aren’t you and now you have a brain tumor from thinking so much about it.
—Philip Greenberg; Sept. 4, 2010
That is most definitely my favorite quote of the year. While it’s going to be a crappy NYE, thank you everyone who made my life better this year. I couldn’t have...

– Quoted from Mark Reads Twilight. (via rabblevolunteer)
This sums up my disdain for Twilight in one paragraph.

All caught up and a little love at that: Christmas...
What’s your absolute favorite part about the holidays? Only one.
I’d have to say being around my dear and everyone else I love. Nothing beats that. :)

Details: Christmas day 21 (and 22)
Give a detailed explanation of what your house looks like on December 25th.
My house goes through a variety of stages on the 25th. At 6 a.m. when we wake up, the tree, which is absolutely covered in brilliantly shining Christmas ornaments with an angel resting on top, is still overflowing with presents. It’s like the tree has an uncontrollable menstrual cycle of presents. It gets...

Wrapped up together: Christmas day 18, 19 and 20
Day 18: If you could spend the holiday any place in the entire world, with whomever you wanted, where would you be and who would you be with?
I would probably spend it close to home mostly because I think it’s an odd idea to go on vacation for Christmas and spend it far away from family. If anything, it’d be in a cute cabin in Yosemite or something so I could experience a white...

Memory lane: Christmas day 17
Describe your first Christmas memory.
It’s hard to pinpoint my first Christmas memory. It would probably have to be some time at grandma’s. I find a lot of Christmases are particularly routine—not in a boring sense, but in the sense that most of my memories aren’t very outstanding. I mostly remember being silly with Nikki during present unwrapping time. To be honest,...

Books everywhere: Christmas day 16
What’s your favorite Christmas book?
When I was growing up, I was read Frosty the Snowman and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, so I have the utmost love for those.

Little Saint Nick: Christmas day 15
Do you still believe in Santa Claus? If not, how did you find out he was fake?
In a figurative sense, I believe in Santa Claus—that is, I believe in the spirit of giving and kindness during the holidays. I believe everyone is capable of being a “Santa Claus” in their own respect, and I am perfectly fine with this being personified as a chubby, jolly man who loves all the...

March of the Toys: Christmas day 14
Have you ever sneaked a peek at a gift?
I can honestly say I’ve been good in this department. I’ve shaken presents, and the presents I’ve been aware of ahead of time have been stumbled upon by accident. That is, I opened a closet to look for something unrelated and saw it there (mom stops hiding presents in closets now, because it’s happened to dad, too). Even though as...

Lots of 'splaining to do: Christmas day 13
Describe your typical Christmas Eve:
My family of happy, gregarious Greeks (the Mexicans, except for my mom, all live in Mexico, unfortunately) always have a Christmas Eve party. For a while, my auntie Debbie claimed sole ownership of the party, until one year she decided she didn’t want it anymore, so my mom took it on. The years it was at auntie Debbie’s place were relatively...

Jack, sarcastically: Marijuana? That's illegal!

Emily: You know the Greeks don't really eat garlic fries, right?
Philip: But don't you remember the Greek festival?
Emily: That was just for people who wanted french fries....

Day 9: Best holiday traditions?
I’d have to say the best holiday tradition in my family is the Christmas Eve party we have every years. It’s like pre-gaming, but for family, and therefore no alcohol or anything. But it’s a fun time to get together, eat and laugh for an evening before we essentially do it all over again in the early morning.
Day 10: Do you give to charities?...

The Simpsons, elephants and the little things
Sometimes I feel like a semi-truck scattered my brain across the highway like roadkill. Then you come along and it’s not so bad. Yesterday and earlier today, I wanted so much to talk to you that my head hurt and I couldn’t focus. I guess you could say I’m lovesick. So thanks for endlessly quoting old school Simpsons with me and being so good at applying these quotes to real...

On the 7th day of Christmas, international cuisine...
One of my favorite Christmas memories had to be when I was in second grade, and my teacher wanted our class to have a multicultural holiday party with food from around the world. She needed parents to volunteer to make a recipe to turn the event into a potluck, so my mom being the good cook she is, volunteered to help. A week before, our teacher wanted to get us all excited and enthusiastic...

Going Home
I used to live on the house on the hill
looking over the beaches and couples in love
with coffee in one hand and a certain sort of warmth in the other
and you lived but a walk away, in a white house cut so clean,
and pinwheels in front tell of wind or rain,
spinning like rainbows and tinfoil against the grass,
and we stayed dry when the timing was right, hand in hand
like the dreamers on the...

“I can’t wait until some homeless guy tries to mess with me so I can pull...”

On the 5th and 6th day of Christmas
Day 5: Favorite Christmas albums?
I find I really prefer the Timelife treasury of Christmas albums, mostly because I intensely dislike Christmas covers and honestly don’t think anyone could make a GOOD holiday CD, mostly because it’s hard to keep up a theme with regard to Christmas without getting too corny—unless they’re a member of the Beach Boys.
Day 6: Favorite...

Day 3: Best gift ever received.
Do I really have to explain?
Day 4: Best gift ever given.
Well, now. This is a fun story. It would have to be the gift I gave to my dear last year. It wasn’t anything ridiculously expensive, but it was one of those the-thought-put-into-it made it even more worth it type of things. I woke up semi-early with my roommate at the time to hit downtown San...
