My...computer...broke?

After a few heckling sessions and a few verbal threats from a particularly hostile blogger, I'm back.

People seem to be sharing what they got for Christmas, and heck, I'm trendy, so I'll give it a whirl.

First, before I tell you what I got, allow me to inform you of the gift I gave to Eric. Well, I didn't give it to him yet, but I officially give him three lumps of coal. Why give such a good, lovable boy such an awful gift? Here's why: At church last night, I asked him why I didn't see him at the Christmas service the morning before. "Oh, my family doesn't go to church on those holidays. You know - Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years." Being a good Reformed boy, I quickly scolded him and condemned him to his appropriate eternal resting place. His reasoning: God commanded us to worship on the Sabbath, not on holidays. That's why he didn't show up. I let Josh Koonce cast the first stone, which I thought was perfectly put: "Well, I'm just glad Jesus showed up on Christmas Day." Shame on you, Eric, you lazy sack of excrement. (He's being punished.)

OK, on to the good stuff. For starters, my Dad and Mom got me a wallet, a watch, an alarm clock, and a gift card to Barnes and Noble. And some socks, too.

Levi and Christina and Luke got me some much-needed parts for my busted desktop computer. Hehe. Now Luke gets to install them. Sweet how that works.

Reuben got me a USB thumb drive. Basically a portable hard drive. Very sweet and handy.

Jessica got me my first ever garment from GAP. It's cool though, it's just a plain jacket. I love it - it's very European. I'm gonna put a big American flag patch on the back.

Those are about all the presents worth mentioning. Some people didn't get me anything, but hey, that's life. But is a little Sunny D too much to ask for?

That's all for now. Peace. On earth?

It's in the mail. Hardcover, too, so when you give it to her you can throw it at her.

Im at war with Aaron, might I refer you to the comment made on Bill's latest entry. By the way I always go to New Years Eve service, I resent these attacks, I resent them as a human being, I resent them as a professional. I am a professional.

I think it's funny that I accidentally raised my Ebenezer three times because my computer connects at 28.8 Kbps.

Man, I guess I'm in the bloghouse after those comments. But hey, it is a blog eat blog world out there. Eric, can't we just make amends and do it bloggy style again?
