Eh, why not? So, Happy Easter to whoever reads this (all 5 of you?), especially you, B, hope Hong Kong is being nice to you *pinches cheek*, lolol.
I tend to skip get-togethers on holidays not named Christmas and Thanksgiving, mainly because...
1). If there's more than 7 people other than myself present, I feel modestly overwhelmed. (Fact: I tend to be 30% more likely to do things, period, if left entirely by myself, including socializing, i.e. the internet.)
2). Pets, especially dogs and birds (pretty much anything that makes noise frequently) can really grate on me and I hate when non-humanoids invade my personal space.
3). At MOST holiday gatherings in East-Central PA, the food is so BORING. Well really because White European food itself bores me to tears. That and well, here's the general things offered, as an example:
-Ham (which I nearly never eat in any form excluding bacon at times)
-Broccoli covered in a crappy bacon dressing (except this "bacon", eww)
-Sweet potatoes (never eat them, I never liked the taste)
-Fruit salad (blegh, no)
-chocolate cake (I don't eat chocolate cake, as one may know, I prefer carrot)
-marshmallow peeps (I dun eat marshmallow either)
leaving me...
-corn on the cob
-some type of stuffing that appears to have potatoes mixed in (*commences eye-rolling*)
-white cake (...eh)
I can't eat the broccoli salad thing because of that dressing so like... all I'm getting is carbs and a starchy vegetable. Also, ham on Easter? Why not steak or duck or something other than HAM which you always make on Christmas anyway if you're of my family ethnicity? Augh.
Generally if I ever get in a committed relationship, I will seriously assert my preferences regarding something other than boring meat and fattening sides and boring as all get-out vegetables at my holiday meals. How am I supposed to come out of my shell with anyone if the food offers nothing I can't get at a diner in Jersey? (which some places thereat are scads better)
My "ideal" holiday menu would probably be more likely to feature:
-some variety of freshwater fish
-some variety of seafood
-an assortment of rice and pasta options
-some game meat (turkey, vension, goose, as examples) as the main protein
-at least two vegan/vegetarian entrees
-assorted sides/appetizers of salads, fried offerings, and quite possibly tacos
meaning that the biggest rules if you attend my residence on a holiday, BYOB and BYOD (bring your own booze--I don't drink, and bring your own dessert, I don't bake and all you'd likely find would be mints and tic tacs, frankly); lest whoever I end up with happens to be either a pastry chef or a wine connoisseur, then one of those conditions may verily vanish
Uh, how am I otherwise, you ask? (since this supposed to be an update, apparently) Egh, more or less the same. Still single (not that that ever matters, I mean, some people want to have sex with consenting couples which just bugs me on a personal level) and nothing much goes on with me. Besides the mediocre food that begs the question why I'm even overweight, since most stuff I get I would rather return, lol. I suppose that will have to suffice, internet.
