Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

It is my parents dream to start a family band and every year they think that the family is going to start said band over Christmas. Their dream is to have us perform the “cool”, “rock n’ roll” Christmas songs because everything about a family of four singing Christmas songs screams “rock n’ roll.”

Generally, they want me to play the piano and my brother to play the guitar while they sing “Merry Christmas, Baby” to one another. Every year my brother and I flatly deny their request. But this year, with my self-proclaimed “artistic” family gathered in South Florida, my parents dream of forming a family band finally came true. There were five guitars, one banjo, one Ukulele, one mandolin, and one melodica—a silly looking instrument that I played until I almost passed out—all strumming along to Frosty The Snowman. We may have sounded pretty awful (my grandmother had to leave the room because, “I cannot handle anything that is not perfect”), but at least we were ridiculously cute.

Another fun family activity that my family engaged in was watching The Sound of Music together, adding 100 points to our adorableness score. The Hallmark-esque magic of this moment dissipated after two minutes when every boy under the age 17 left the room and my father started doing a German accent. But watching the movie reminded me of my undying love and man crush on Captain Von Trapp.

RIESE RIESE I JUST SAW A LESBIAN AT THE AIRPORT. Does spotting a queer or two in a random location (NOT the vegan/vegetarian organic food store or coffee shop, for example) ever get old or less exciting?

never
it’s better if you’re walking with another lesbian so that as soon as you’re out of earshot you can say “lesbian” and your friend can either say “lesbian” or “totally gay” at the same time, or can respond to your “lesbian” with “oh yeah” or “totally” and then you can both laugh and for some reason that never, ever, ever ever ever ever gets old. not ever.

Ask Riese anything except anything you already asked Laneia
