Yeah, whatever happens... It's been fun.

You know, having someone who invents things in your head makes Christmas presents so much easier. Instead of spending hours and hours in the mall... or, you know, let's be honest, stalking search histories and Amazon browsing... you can just come up with something one-of-a-kind and good at least for novelty's sake. And the best part is, even if they don't like it, it's not like they can return it so they have to keep it and you don't feel like a gift giving failure.

For instance, my baby sister got a lunchbox. Oh, Blake, you might say, what's so special about a lunchbox? This one, you see, will never let her food spoil. She could leave it out for days and she'd still come back to find it perfectly refrigerated. And then, when she decides she wants to heat up her frozen dinner? She can just punch a button and it microwaves it for her. Right there in the lunchbox. No long wait for a microwave. No problem if you don't have access to a microwave. It's pretty easy, really, there's a gel in the lining that... you know, you people probably don't care about that, do you? Woohoo, cool lunchbox that heats your food up for you. Sometimes I love being me. If only it wasn't currently too expensive to mass produce. Don't worry, I'm working on that.

I can't share my older sister's yet, since she hasn't gotten a chance to open it except where she has and I just can't share it with non-evil company. Just believe me, it's equally awesome.

Parents. First, they tell you, "unless you want to be completely cut off, you will go live somewhere far enough away that you won't embarrass us anymore." Then, just when you've gotten used to not having anything to do with them, they flip everything upside down and tell you that you're going to be cut off if you embarrass them by not coming home for the huge party they're throwing for your mother's birthday. Make up your mind, DNA donors. Am I more embarrassing there, or gone?

Watching SyFy on Mondays feels vaguely narcissistic. Then again, it's not as if I haven't heard that about myself before. Whatever, we're worth it. Here's a slice of humble, there's no way I could actually manage those bicep curls. I need to work out more.
