Why do I always want to sock it to you hard?

and the way it just happened
bam
like that. And I didn't know how to stop it.
so I just let it happen and now it's turned into something illegible.
it wasn't supposed to precipitate
reactants can be contaminated, honey.

I think I may hate you.

Media and the ideas they give you of the world.

First, hello to Diana. I would just like to say thanks for following and that I like your poetic writing.


I've seen so many American Christmas movies and always wonder whether that giant Christmas tree with shit loads of presents and stockings by the fire place is true in the typical American home. I mean, I've read blogs of Americans who've posted about the awesome Christmas they had complete with photographic evidence. All that tinsel and happiness makes my family (and the typical Australian home) look awfully depressing. Do you get gifts from your whole extended family, or are you just rich and high with Christmas glee?

The mountains of presents in most American homes might be completely untrue, but all the American movies about wholesome families that earn an income do have a giant super happy Christmases.
Normal Australian homes are nothing like that. Name one Australian movie where there is a sweet family of five swimming in a pool on presents.


Is this in any way offending? I'm sorry if it is. I'm just curious. It'd be great if someone could answer. Drop a comment if you're an Aussie whose family does go crazy 'like Americans' for Christmas!

Happy (or sad, really. Jesus just died.) Easter!
