Doctor's appointment in the AM. Totally, truly, and absolutely wish I could just... cancel. Because it's just going to be me saying no, I haven't had any heart issues, and lookit me! I've made healthy life choices! And I've been making them permanent healthy life choices! And SHE'S going to tell me that my healthy life choices aren't good enough and that I need to join A Program because I am fat and have no hope.
(which is basically what has happened between the two of us in the past, minus all the tact that colors the air)
my brother has suggested that I tell her to fuck off, unless SHE wants to pay for me to join Weight Watchers. I don't see that going very well. o.o
(Also, have to call student loan people. Got a very nice letter today, "You owe us money!" and I was like, "lolz i do, but I have no money to give you! Looks like I'll have to postpone while my existentialist crisis continues!" only they didn't give me a phone number-- at ALL. So I will have a fun phone call tomorrow)

So. My mom.
Lovely lady. Gets on my nerves. A lot. She is really, really sweet, I love her to death, and she never actually MEANS harm. But she is very self-centered in the way that it's IMPOSSIBLE for her to put herself in another person's place. Also, a LOT of things go completely over her head, and her way of dealing with it is to change the topic or talk about herself because it puts her back into familiar ground.
Weeeelllll... okay. She bought Davey Crockett the other day. Loves it from her childhood. Wants to share it with us "kids." Only - We have absolutely no interest in this movie, -I've seen it before (school), -We have absolutely no interest in this movie.
So she there are two methods she's used in the past to force something she likes upon us. LITERALLY force it upon us.
Passive-aggressive technique: Pop it into the DVD player and turn the stereo system up All. The. Way.
Straight-forward approach: "Do you want to watch this with me?" ...No, not really. ~EXPLODE!"WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ANY OF THE THINGS I LIKE???? IT'S NOT CRAP LIKE YOU THINK IT IS!!!!!!"
she ended up only watching half of it -_-
I really, REALLY REAAAAALLLY wish she would go talk to somebody. Somebody professional. She is driving ALL of us nuts. She's a really, really social person, but is borderline agoraphobic. So she turns to US. And it's KILLING MEEEEEEEE
driving me nuts. And I can't say or do anything because her feelings get hurt SO easily. Uguguguguguugg
