So not thrilled.

I think I'm going insane.

My uncle from Virginia is here visiting. By "visiting" I mean has returned for his one of his bi-annual trips back to California to check on his house(he moved away because of his job, but kept his home in Oxnard and plans to return for good... eventually) and... whatever else. See my mom and other uncle. Whatever.

That is SO inconsiderate! I understand your anger. Best of luck!

[firealex]

Thank you! I just hope she doesn't have an abrasive personality. His girlfriends in the past have tended to be rather bossy, and if that's the case there will be trouble. She comes tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes... *crosses fingers*

How's it going?

[firealex]

It's actually not going horribly, thanks. It's completely awkward when we run into each other in the hallway, but otherwise we kind of stick to our own areas. I've been spending a lot of time in my room, or Kathryn's.

Outwardly the girlfriend(definitely girlfriend, not just friend) seems pretty nice, but I can tell she's kind of high maintenance. Like, wearing more makeup than a lot of people I know and tottering around on wedge heels while trying to "help" my uncle when he was working on the plumbing. It might just be me being paranoid, but I feel a little like she's looking at me in my jeans and tank top and thinking, slob. I actually want to go and change into something nicer so she won't be mentally sneering at me.

Which is stupid. Because even if she really is sneering at me, I shouldn't care. But I do, so I mostly hide.

I completely understand. When I go to Andy's house and they get into jeans etc, I feel like a slob because I've been known to stay in my pajamas all day long if I'm not going anywhere.

It's perfectly natural, I think what you are feeling.

That being said, I would be like you, I would just hide.

Is Kathryn your younger sister?

[firealex]

I like staying in my pajamas all day, too! Obviously I can't do it while people are here, but I love it. Comfort over style pretty much any day...

Kathryn is actually my old college roommate. When we finished in San Diego, I wanted to move back around home(LA area) and she kind of wanted to find a place up here because her boyfriend lives sort of nearby, so we moved into my grandparents' old house. She's semi-antisocial, like me. =)

I'm comfort over style too. Always. I watch stupid shows like What not to wear and I just ... there is no way I would wear the clothes they say you "should" wear. I like to be comfortable. If I'm leaving my house, nine times out of ten, that means jeans and a t-shirt. I have stopped wearing t-shirts that are a size too big, but only because I'm fucking sick of people asking when I'm due. Yes, people *are* that rude.

I'm cool with being antisocial, as I am myself. I'd rather commuicate, as a new friend said, through this box. I think if I were to ever have a roommate, I would want one with the same type personality as myself.
