The holidays are a hard season, for many reasons. Stress is high, shoppers panic trying to find those last-minute gifts, and retailers want to shoot said shoppers and put them out of their misery.

But it's hardest when you're miles from family, and the closest person to you is anti-family and doesn't see or care what it's all about.

So, of course, in the middle of these depressing times, add female hormones from our monthly event.

Just shoot me now.

Ouch. Here's greatest sympathies and a gun from a fan. Feel free to use both in any way you feel necessary.

I'm doing my holiday cards...would receiving a card from a semi-stranger help? Or I could just offer virtual hugs! *hugs*

If you would like a card though...email me and I'll get one sent out.

Thanks. <3 The hugs help, virtual or not.

Where in Oregon are you? o.o Or have I already asked that? >.>; I'm so absent-minded these days...

[amatsubu.livejournal.com]

I'm in Eugene now and going to the University of Oregon. Been waiting for them to post grades...

I think we have talked about it before, but to be honest the meds tend to make me confused these days.

Weren't you living in Eugene at one time or still are???

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Still am. *flail* I need to meet you!!! @__@

[amatsubu.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! The only people I know in Eugene are my parents who live with me. That would be so cool, however I should warn you that I would probably go all fangirl on you!

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Pfft. I am equally insane, I promise you. ^__^

What times do you have free? I have Mon/Tues off, and frequently weekday afternoons...

[amatsubu.livejournal.com]

Oh good, I rarely leave the land of crazy! *L*

I'm off from school right now on holiday break and so am free anytime.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Oh, bonus points! ^__^ Lets see, I was going to run errands tomorrow, so I could go irritate you then. ^.~ And there's a doll meetup at 2pm... would you like to go with me to that? It's in Springfield, at Ruthie B's.

[amatsubu.livejournal.com]

Um, I need to check with my caregiver (who is also mom) who is at work. She takes her next break here soon. I know we were going to go and do laundry in the morning sometime, but then I think I would be free.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Oh botheration. x_x I misread the calendar. Dollie meet is next Tuesday. *pout*

Well I could still just annoy you. ^^;

[amatsubu.livejournal.com]

That works too as I loved to be annoyed!!!

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Toss me an email (tygati at darkkingdom dot com) so we can swap personals. <3

I'm all for the shooting them part. Its insane what customers will do and say during the holidays.....

Yeah, the shooting them part is nice. I like that.

[galynthia.livejournal.com]

Aww I hope you feel better! I can't go home to visit my family this year so that's kind of sad but it'll be nice to have a holiday home with myself for once too I think.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Alone, that I could deal with. I'd just call everyone. But my roommate just doesn't "get it" and special family-type holidays with him are misery because of it. :(

[flamebyrd]

My parents leave tomorrow and I'm not going to have any family within [extremely large distance] (not even the cousin in Montana since she's back in Australia, although I think I have another cousin in Chicago) so I sympathise.

I commented on Twitter that it was the first year in my life that I don't have any plans for Christmas Day, and got a response saying "lucky :)". Not in my opinion!

*zen hugs* Sorry the holiday season is sucking so much for you. You should come to Canada.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Yeah, people who think being alone for the holidays is lucky are people who aren't close to family. Ie, my roommate. :/

If Canada wasn't so far away, and my passport hadn't expired ten years ago...

[flamebyrd]

It looks like you can get US passports renewals rushed through (24 hrs), but it's more expensive. Otherwise it's 4-6 weeks (or 2-3 expedited) :/

We handed in our green slips so I don't want to try entering the US again until next year.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Yeesh, not speedy, are they. I should probably get around to renewing mine one of these days, so I'd have it when I wanted it. *grumble* I miss the days when you didn't need a passport for Canada.

[flamebyrd]

Sign of the times. :/
