I love Christmas.  I could care less about any other holiday, my birthday, whatever.  Something about Christmas just makes me a happy mother****er who's totally enthused about life and everything it has to offer.  I'm usually a dour and severe person in general but Christmas time is the exception.  For all of December, I'm merry, cheerful, and smiling non-stop.  Can't explain it but I sure as hell enjoy it.

I've always had a slight dislike for Christmas. My birthday is on the 29th of December, so I've always been given one present for both which was always really annoying as a child. I suppose it's gotten better as I've got older because I get bigger and more expensive things :)

Honestly, I can't think of a single holiday that hasn't become depressing over the years.
Guess I'd say Thanksgiving, but only years that the entire family actually gets together, which is pretty rare.

new year.
7-10 days of state holidays.

"may holidays" (may 1-2 and 9).

I could care less about any other holiday, my birthday, whatever
so, you care about "any other holiday" too much?
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

I went in 2007, and while for the most part it was great, having to listen to Flavor Flav talk about how his 4th grade kid was on the honor roll (like seriously, who the heck cares, it's elementary school) for 30 minutes, while Immortal Technique barely got 15 minutes of stage time was pretty awful.

I went to Glastonbury in 2008 which was alright, but It's hella expensive.

Next year I think me and my gf are going to go to Open 'er in Poland. Faith no More, MGMT, Jack White, PEARL JAM, Rudimental and others played last years. It's going to be awesome.

I don't like drugs or house music.

I find it quite sad that some people have to take drugs in order to have fun. I wasn't able to take drugs due to my job and thought "I'm going to smoke so much now I'm out of there" and I just didn't enjoy it at all. I did weed a bit when I was about 15, but I just think it's pointless. And then people say that things like MDMA, coke, ket and w-e are amazing, then I see their come-downs that last 3 days and I just think there is no way I am going to do that.

And house music is boring.

She's only 2 years younger than me. And there are people there who are the same age as me and older doing the same thing.

I think it's just a social acceptance thing. I don't even like going out to clubs and getting pissed, yeah dancing is fun, but not when your ears ring for all the next day because the ****ty DJ was playing the same recycled top 40 hits so loud you had to shout in each other's ears just to try and communicate you were doing anything.

Give me a bar, some friends and some ciders any day. Srsly. Friends plz :(

Dude, if she goes again, you should tag along, then meet up with me and chat keyboards! ;)

Also, that area is beautiful! Swimming in the Adriatic sea is so cool. I would go back for that alone.

Katushkin, I'm so offended you didn't go!  :-p
