HEXmas. I am at a bit of a loss. What is there to rant about? The gift giving is awesome, the contests even better. The poinsettias are cool for those with a green thumb, and for those whose thumbs aren't quite brown. You don't end up sick from eating too much junk like you do in the real festivities ... especially if you are spending the holidays with an Italian family who likes to do the traditional feast on Christmas Eve. I listened to my friend talking about the seven to nine course meal. I couldn't figure out if I should throw up before or after... or both... if I were to ever attend one of those feasts.
Anyway, so what am I to rant about when there is nothing to rant about with HEXmas? Ranting about nothing to rant about seemed a bit of a cop out. And then I realized the perfect thing to rant about.
The lack of sleep you will get.
Between all the contests, and the gift giving, and the poinsettias you will not get much time for relaxing.
And then the site will be really mean and start sending REs galore and building stuff like plushies, or tree decorations, or gnomes. Speaking of which, I really hope we don't have gnomes this year. At one point I had 16 of those little creeps stalking me. I STILL have nightmares!
But as I was saying, and then the REs will start, and as Yoda would say: "Sleep, you will not get." Sorry to be the barer of bad news but it's the truth. You will spend hours upon hours hunting for the REs to put the items together. I think last year I averaged about 2 hours of sleep a night. Divide that by 31 day and you get the very painful number of 62 hours in a 744 hour period. No wonder my eye was twitching by the end of the event.
Will someone please come and save me from the insanity that is HEXmas REs!
Please!
No don't turn away, laughing at my pain. This will be you too if you don't help!
