argh...

yes, instead of finishing those darn holiday cards, i decided to skirt the issue and blog. is it me or do writing xmas cards end up being a chore sometimes? since i mentioned having half of them written, i think i've gotten only seven more finished. i'm looking at some of the addresses and thinking, 'Did they send me a card last year?' or 'Nope. I really don't see any reason why i should waste 37 of my 'precious' cents on a stamp when you rarely call me back; i'm always initiating the contact. you may be lucky to get an e-card this year...if i don't decide to blog instead.' OR 'F*ck you...how the HELL did your info get in my address book anyway?!?! i must've been delirious to have actually addressed an envelope to yer lame ass...' unfortunately, the third scenario is probably the most accurate ;)

so...the card writing saga continues. i need to look for a holiday card that i got from a high school friend who now lives in Salt Lake City. actually, it was a holiday letter with scanned photos. last year, i tracked this person down after i read her posting in classmates.com, asking if anyone knew whatever became of me and three other people (Sarah, Joe, and Chris). to be honest with you, i wasn't expecting her to even remember me; the other three were some of her very good friends. really, the only classes i recollect having with her were sophomore English and Honours Thesis (where i sat next to her).

i have put off writing this card because i would like to ask her how she (Linda), her husband (Brian), and the kids (you guessed it - i don't recall their names) are doing and for some updated news. so, until i find that letter, i won't write the card. funny, although it's a small detail, i think she'd be more appreciative and a even a bit surprised if i mentioned the kids by name in the card. i guess if she can remember the good times we had (i always made her laugh) in English and remember it fifteen years later, then perhaps the least i could do is remember her kids' names...
