dmxratedDamn! I forgot to mention that Marie went back to New York two days ago.
Sunday night of this week was the night me, Brian, and Marie did our part in a Christmas play, in which kids shared stories about how different cultures celebrate Christmas. For my part, I was to speak of how people in Russia believe in someone called Babushka. Other than that, there really isn't much to say about it.
Wednesday was the last day of school before Christmas Break. And Thursday, which was Christmas Eve, is gonna be one of the longer entries.
December 19, 1998 (Saturday)
Tonight, Mom and Dad were flipping through the channels, and we were in the living room with them, and they landed on some Christmas movie. On the movie, there was a battle between the toys and a bunch of swamp people. Mom and Dad continued to flip through the channels. Beavis and Butthead was on MTV. They accidentally flipped through it, and then Mom decided to let us watch it. Someone was in jail, and they wrote “I hope you had a better Christmas than I did. Just pork and beans and spankin’ your monkey.” I thought they said “spankin’ your muffin,” and started repeating it. Mom’s like “Okay, this is a mistake!” I kept repeating it, and Dad’s like “You see, this is why we don’t let you watch this stuff!”
December 20, 1998 (Sunday)
Today after Sunday School, I wandered outside thinking about the final boss in that game. The music has to be REALLY scary. GLOM would release his head, and then after you defeat the head, it would leave behind a giant brain with many mechanical tentacles, similar to Andross on Starfox 64. Maybe he would be in the air, and four of the characters would have to be able to fly, so they would become noses, and he would say “You noses can’t beat me!”
Later, I came back inside, and me and Brian battled eachother in Mario Kart 64. I’m like “If you bail out, we’re playing Street Fighter 2. He’s like “Or Starfox 64.” Later, while we were still playing, he’s like “What is it?” I showed him the Street Fighter II cartridge that I was keeping next to me. He’s like “Oh, that’s pathetic!”
After dinner, our parents took us to that play that we were doing, and they were watching us. While we were doing the play, Pastor Ralph is like “Okay, you may sit down now” before Act 2. We also sat down, and he’s like “Not you, the audience.” After the play, we had a feast downstairs.
December 21, 1998 (Monday)
Tonight, Mom took me to the library. When we came home, I noticed that the potholder caught fire while Mom was making dinner. I told Mom about it, and when it was put out, Mom told me to throw it out. Marie told Dad “Eric’s a lifesaver.”
After dinner, Dad took me and Brian to Home Depot to get the Christmas tree. On the way there, I asked Dad about leaving your stuff on the floor in the theater. I told him that Brian told me that’s what janitors are for. Brian’s like “I’m EVIL!” Dad spoke to us, and while he was talking, he’s like “Some fun! How’d you like to be the one who changes the toilet paper?”
What a coincidence it is that, six years later, that's exactly the job I would have when I got hired to McDonald's. Needless to say, it wasn't fun, but for me, it was better than tending the bun toaster there half a year later.
December 22, 1998 (Tuesday)
Tonight, on the way to Group, Mom asked me if I studied A Christmas Carol. I tried telling her the story word for word, but didn’t remember most of them.
“But do you remember the gist of it?” Mom asked me.
When we got to Group, I discussed Wednesday and Thursday. Anu did a role play where Josh and Sean are singing Jingle Bells, and she’s singing “Mary had a little lamb,” and I was supposed to stop it in a polite way. Then we discussed Wednesday, and Josh is like “It’s okay to join a club, but not a fight.” Soon, we did something where we were supposed to practice feelings. Me and Sean did sad. We were just calling eachother names, and then I raised my foot to him. Juliet and Anu showed us something where Anu crushes Juliet’s lunch. “That’s my lunch,” Juliet said to Anu.
“Well you don’t deserve to eat, jerkoff,” Anu said to Juliet.
On the way home, Mom’s like “I heard you in there. What kind of a role play were you doing? Or were you just fooling around?”
I answered her.
“And I understand you joined a fight on the bus. Were you doing the right thing by joining a fight?”
“No,” I told her.
“And were you doing the right thing by lying to the busdriver?”
“No.”
“And were you doing the right thing by omitting the truth?”
“No.”
Tonight at dinner, we discussed A Christmas Carol. I asked Dad “What’s to ‘shun to trend the path’ supposed to mean?”
“What do you mean ‘shun to trend the path?” Dad said. “Show me where it says that.”
I showed him. “’Shun the path I trend?’ It means that he cannot escape the path that his father took,” Dad answered me.
“So he was tricking him?” I asked him.
“No. He was not tricking him. He was warning him.”
“Scrooge went to hell.”
“What?” Mom asked me. “Oh, that was Scrooge McDuck.”
“You see,” Dad told us, “They take these gutsy stories and cutesy it up. Such as Pocahontas. John Smith was an ugly old rump; they made him into a big handsome hero.”
Later, before I went to bed, I was playing Super Mario Bros. 2. While I was playing, Mom called the hospital about Marie’s ear. She’s like “We can’t have her sick on Christmas.” Later, when I beat the game, under the word “Contributor", it kept switching “Mario” “Luigi” “Toad” “Princess.” Before it ended, I called Brian over to see. He was reading something, and he was laughing his ass off about “feces.” Mom told him that feces is crap. I then asked Mom why Brian was laughing.
“What’s feces?” she asked me.
“Crap,” I told her.
December 23, 1998 (Wednesday)
This is the last day of school before the holidays.
Today in Social Studies, we watched a movie on the American Revolution. During the movie, someone was singing something, and slashed a candle during mid-song. Ms. Darson fast-fowarded through, and I asked her why she skipped it. She explained, but I didn’t get what she was saying. I also commented on two people holding up a carriage, and I’m like “A human-drawn carriage.” Mrs. B’s like “A man drawn carriage?” Then she told me “He’s got a bad leg.” After Social Studies, Mrs. Darson gave us a sheet of homework we can do over the vacation.
Tonight, I went into Dad’s room and watched “Celebrity Deathmatch:”
There was this bride, and she was on the ring singing, and then someone came in, and she’s like “What the hell?” At the end of the fight, she ate him up and then transformed into an alien.
December 24, 1998 (Thursday; Christmas Eve)
Today, it was snowing.
Brian was watching this show on Fox Family about Alabaster. I was also watching. I changed the word to “Alabastard” each time the main character said “Alabaster.” When it was over, I asked Brian to let me play Nintendo. I kept bothering him, and then he let me play and went outside. A few minutes later, he came back inside and kicked me and kept kicking me and punching me. I lied down on the floor, and he kept punching me, and then he was pulling my ears up and down, and he’s like “we-oo. We-oo. We-oo. Weeee-oo.” He kept saying it while pulling my ears up and down.
Later, I went out on Masem Court, and I was writing “Ms. Smalle has a big nose” in the snow on Masem Court and the backyard, and I was also drawing pictures of big coneshaped noses.
When I came back in, Dad was watching this movie called The Bear on ABC. Later, Mom’s like “That’s so sad. His mother doesn’t want him.” Dad’s like “She wasn’t his mother.
Tonight, while we were getting ready to go to church for Christmas Eve, I was doing something to piss Dad off, and he’s like “Let’s kick him in the butt six times.” I thanked him after he was done. I then pissed Dad off some more, and when we got in the suburban, Dad was pulling my hair and yelling at me. I scratched his seat with my fingernail on the way to the church. Soon, Mom’s like “Don’t think you’re trying to get revenge.” When we got to the church, Marie saw Ms. Setzer’s car, and she’s like “Craig Setzer’s here.” Mom’s like “No, that’s just a car that looks like Mrs. Setzer’s.” After we got out, I threw a snowball right passed Dad, and he’s like “If there’s a problem, you can just talk to me about it.”
When we got inside the church, Craig and his family really were there. I only sang some of the words when we were singing. Soon, we went downstairs and had a feast. After I finished eating, I went outside behind the church and thought more about that game. While I was outside, some kid asked me “What are you doing?” I told him “thinking.”
“About what?” he asked me.
“Some N64 game I’m gonna make,” I told him.
Before we went back home, I was thinking about another fight between the Bible School Kids and the Fashion Police which takes place in Sports Plus. Someone’s having a birthday party, and the Fashion Police knock down the telephone wires outside, and then they break in, and someone named Allanzo is also with them. Then they fight another battle on some place similar to Neon Night Riders on Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time.
Back to the present.
