Dec. 24th, 2001 01:27 amSo Kate is in Bellingham for Christmas, and you'd think that out of everyone in my family, she is the most different from me, the least likely to understand me, and the hardest for me to get along with. Such is not the case.
I just spent an couple hours with her at Denny's Southside, and most of it was spent bitching about particular other family members.
L is my older sister, of course... she's a good lady, smart, hard-working and kind-hearted. Unfortunately, she's married to A, the most idiotic, lazy and mean man I've ever had to let into my family.
That sounds, I'm sure, a little harsh, but the fact of the matter is, I'm very pissed right now.
One of the things we talked about is how Allen badmouths me in front of my sisters. Now, it's true, I've had my share of failings, and it's true that I'm not always the easiest person to get along with... of course, the same is true for not only A, but for both of my sisters as well. But when L and A have had to borrow money from me when they're making well over three times what I make, I have a hard time believing that I'm the irresponsible one.
And really, even if I were as horrendously irresponsible as A says that I am, it shouldn't be open discussion for him, L and Kate. I don't tell his son what a lazy stupid moron his father is.
The fact of the matter is, A doesn't know me, and never will. He's already got me pegged as a hard-headed, irresponsible sinner. He's already consigned me to hell, apparently... I figure hell can't be too bad anyway, as long as I don't have to deal with A while I'm there. And the firey torments of an eternity removed from the sight of GOD would be preferable to hearing him stubbornly ignore the laws of physics. Argh.
