We have some drama happening at the house tonight... a cousin of mine known to be pretty insensitive/callous is visiting from Amsterdam and his mother lives here, so she and his step-dad are coming to our dinner but so is his father's widow (who is actually super cool). so, yeahh... No one really wants them here but they tend not to take hints so they'll be here at 8 and we've spent the entire afternoon/evening knocking them so can't wait for that tension! Fun times!

Not to mention the fact that I am the only one available to open the door for another 45 minutes or so and nonononononono do not want please dear satan let them be late

I'd feel bad about everyone hating them, but some of the stuff I've heard them say the one or two times we've had occasion to be together is enough to credit all the other stories about them so in case anyone feeling bad, trust me, they suck...

ugh i know my cousin's gonna ask me about school and actually listen to the answer and then spew some bullshit about college and economics and like noo do not want that either. Like what the frick dude I know nothing about what I want to do with my life the last thing I need in my posturing is for you to come in talking baout student loans like you're the next big thing (I mean, he knows econ bc that's what he studied and taught and does now but he also has this superiority complex that he's going to fix it all or something can't wait to seem crash and burn Ima bring some popcorn but for now got to listen this bs)

so how is everyone else's holiday going? Currently listening to Jingle Bells in Latin on repeat and you should too!
