So it's another one of those stupid holidays in America. It means nothing to me; I don't celebrate any holidays at all, or my birthday. This has been a major point of contention amongst people I've known and my family, but I steadfastly refuse to take part in any holiday at all. Some reasons:

• Consumerism sucks
• Americana sucks
• Tradition sucks
• Being different is good
• I'm contrarian by nature

I don't visit my family for any holiday, not even xmas (my least-favourite holiday). I visit at other times of the year instead of when I'm expected to.

I just wish there was a larger anti-holiday movement in the US than there is now. I mean, how many people have you ever met that don't get into holidays at all? Probably not too many.

Also:

I'm going to see Tegan & Sara in Nashville on Tuesday (Nov 29). I have two extra tickets that I've offered to Quinne, but I dunno if she wants them or not. So if you want them, let me know before Tuesday. They're free.
