So: Big, horrible emotional family moment that I am not going into here.

A few hours later...

MY SISTER: So, what did you think of that big horrible family thing?

ME (this is not paraphrasing; this is a direct quote): No. Just. No. I'm not talking about it.

MY SISTER: Oh. Huh.

ME: Sorry to be so abrupt, but just...I don't intend to discuss it. It was bad enough going through it, I'm not gonna talk about it.

MY SISTER: Oh. Well, this is what I thought blahblahblah and then blahblahblah but there's always blahblahblah to consider...

ME: ...


You guys, if I said I didn't want to talk about it, would have just not tried to make me talk about it, right? Right?

Right.

Because YOU? Are not INSANE.

*gaaaahhh*
Oh. My. Lord.

Remind me again, people, in a chorus, because you've heard it so often: DO NOT TELL YOUR SISTER ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES ANY DISCRETION WHATSOEVER.

I keep forgetting this very basic fact.

I mean, I realise she is trying to be helpful. She may actually have been helpful; but *cries*

More updates and job advice request later.
The freaXing (I think spelling it like a teeny-bopping chatspeak freak of nature makes it a dirtier word, all by itself) web is out at my place and nobody who knows enough is doing anything about it. It was out all Sunday so I didn't (and probably still can't, for a while) get to the revamped JD *weeps* (TC YOU WERE NOT RIGHT I COULDA READ IT AND NOW I CAN'T) or to my flists or to my e-mail or ANYTHING.

RL stuff )

Question: what does it say about me, psychologically, that (I realised this weekend) I am always attracted to the sidekicks and best friends in movies/books rather than the heroes?

Example: the incredibly frightening Cinderella Story that I was forced to take my baby sister to. I was so all for the sweet best friend (aside from the whole costuming thing). Of course, he had the only decent line in the whole dinged movie, so maybe that was why.

Further example: Every time I see an old romantic comedy with Gig Young, I want HIS character despite the fact that he is playing the best friend of Cary Grant, who is indubitably much better looking. (I realised this watching Teacher's Pet and That Touch of Mink this past weekend.)

Ron or Harry? Ron.

Prince Jonathon or George? Oh GIVE ME George.

Garion or any of his male friends? Silk.

I do still prefer Darcy to Bingley, though. If I didn't I would be really worried.

The comments stats )
I did a Gryffindor thing today. I plunged in recklessly, on a moment's whim, and did something that could have very, very bad results.

My hair was three inches past my waist. Now it is an inch past my earlobes.

Eeek!

And the stylist got what I wanted backwards, so now I look like Mary Tyler Moore. Of course, when I use a hairdryer to fix what it now does "naturally" to do what I wanted it to, I look like a flapper straight out of Chicago. I give up.

(I like it, really...it's just going to take some getting used to. Plus, now that it is short I think I will take some time and play with dyes...I've been thinking about very subtly red highlights for awhile...so that would be a plus.)




In other news, my sister has a new boyfriend and asked me to double with her last night--I asked Chase to go with me. There will be a Van Halen rant/review thing at some point (when it's not incredibly late), but for now I simply have to tell this story: We went to Wyoming.

We were so caught up in an argument about--I think at that point it was how Achilles died (yes, we are nerds)--that we somehow missed a turnoff or took a wrong one or something...and by the time we realised it, we were half an hour away from an exit. We actually crossed the border into Wyoming. This will be one of those memories I will be unable to forget.

I'd forgotten, lately, how truly fond I am of Chase. He's a good person to have a conversation with. I forget that sometimes, but last night reminded me. I really am fond of him for a reason. *hugs Chase*




And last but not least--never work in telemarketing. You will abhor it with the fire of a thousand suns.
Am off the anti-man kick, thanks to the guys who took the time to reassure me there were at least a few decent ones left. *hugs to Arch, Amiel, and Joshua (whoever...you...are...)* Especially to my darling DD, who I miss and who sent me an immeasurably cheering e-card thingymabopper. *glompage and blown squidges sent in a general Easterly/Phillipines-y direction*

Laughing and hugs also to Molly and Ads, who although not men gave me good reasons for allowing males to exist.

Ranting about parents, which you are all sick of by now )

And I have been leaving rambling desperate messages on all my friends' phones. I told Tyler's mother that I needed to be rescued, for pity's sake. Curse my sister! I do not want to be the chaperone/third wheel on her first date with this guy! I demand that either somebody make Jen, Tyler, or Jess call me back or learn to Apparate.

Your pardons. I seem to be ranting a lot lately. *squidges to the flist for putting up with her*
I have eight blisters and I'm aching in places I've never ached before.

Is it usual for guys to hitch their groins while having a polite conversation and I just noticed because there are six other things about this one that I hate, or is it just him?

Calling all the guys from the flist, PLEASE comment and remind me why we keep your species around. And while you're at it, tell me you've never stood around counting how many virginities you've taken. I don't even care if you're lying at this point, I just need my faith in you reaffirmed.

...Although, some of you do make fun music. *pets Bobby McFerran CD* (My parents listened to him. I can remember when he was on Sesame St.)

My sister has just asked me to go WITH her on her web date tomorrow. Apparently he wants me to come too. Well, if I can't get one of the guys she barely knows to come with me, she'd better be prepared to owe me big.

I love you all. But guys...please? I know that at least those of you on my flist are human beings and a good species, but--really! Redeem them by being one of them for me?

ETA: Apparently my grandfather is also trying to find dates online. This weirds me out, even though it probably shouldn't. *sigh*
