Someone please remind me to work a double shift next Christmas Eve. I don't know why, but every single year we go to my aunt's house to "celebrate" Christmas Eve (rather wage wars upon each other more like it), either drama or a monotonous family gathering takes place.
Anyway, this year, an incredibly petty and pointless argument took place. My sister hasn't uttered more than 3 words to me in two days, and I can't help but be concerned. Supposedly, her friend is upset at me for some unbeknownst reason and I'm not necessarily sure how I'm supposed to fix it. It's a long story, so let's begin shall we?
It took place during the gift opening where I drifted off into lalaland and I was thinking about how to pay off my tuition, since the payment was originally due January 2nd. Eventually I come back to planet Earth and all I hear is my sister's friend saying, "(My brother's name) is driving T (my friend) home and we're going home (basically, she's sleeping over)." To that, I respond, "Heh?" Then she goes, "Why are you acting so surprised?" and she has the only nasty face afterwards. There I am dumbfounded, and I observe her for the rest of the gift opening and she's still sour-faced and furiously typing on her smartphone to my friend about some bullshit. Fifteen minutes after the gift opening, we make our way out and I ask my friend, "Let's walk that way." My sister's friend goes, "You can walk alone." I'm like,"What's your problem tonight?" She's like, "Your aunt and uncle are already making gay jokes about me and your sister, and you put me on the spot!" I'm like, "What are you talking about?" Then she trudges home all angry and whatnot, and I'm so confused. So we get to her house, and I'm like, "What's the problem? If I upset you in some way, then I'm sorry. Next time you have a problem with me, just say it to my face." Then she starts crying. Like, wtf? Dude, the minute someone gets upset about something, I get concerned. To continue, I asked her, "You've been getting jokes like this for a long time. Why are you letting it get to you all of a sudden? What are you mad about?" Still crying and wiping her tears, she goes, "Nothing. I'm not mad." Then I go, "What is it then? I hate seeing you cry!" Afterwards, she goes, "I'm just going to go home." Honestly, does anyone see how petty this shit is? I've been pondering about it for the last two days and I'm literally wondering...What the hell is her deal?
No offense, but she's gotta grow some thick skin. She wasn't the only one being jeered at the entire night. My cousin was hurling insults at me about my weight and how I'm ugly and how no one will ever love me (romantically) the entire night, and I didn't flinch. Sure it hurts, but he's irrelevant as fuck. Like, he's probably just using his girlfriend to prove he's not gay himself. I hate people. Honest to God, I wish people would just congregate and help each other out instead of competing and putting each other down just to climb up society's social ladder. The world would be so much of a better place to live in.
At this point, I'm probably not going to interact with my sister's friend anymore since she's just too sensitive. Also.... So I went to the movie theater by myself to watch a movie starring Jennifer Lopez and it was actually one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had in a while. I was happy being in my own company and just complacent with life for a moment. There's three new movies coming out and I think I'll see them all solo. Man....That was great. People should try to do things that are normally a group thing alone at least once in their lives. It's life changing.
Story time over~
Peace out girl scout,
Nicki
