Kiss Me, I'm French!
My brother is the most perplexing person I know. He's like . . . the rubic's cube of brothers or something. I wasn't very affectionate as a kid (not really affectionate now either), and I was fairly abusive to him when he was little. So, now that I'm in a reasonably stable frame of mind, I like to hug him when he leaves for work, hug him when he gets back home, whatever. Too bad he's stuck in that "Sisters are ICKY" phase >.> On the flip side, he tries to tickle me every chance he gets (like my dad) cuz - apparently - I'm hilarious when I have that fish-out-of-water-turned-satan look on my face. I go into "kill or seriously maim" mode when anyone tickles me. GGgggggrrrrrr.
Anyway, he's employed by our grandparents who (wonder of wonders) live across the street. He also usually takes our grandparents to the doctor - then gets home and complains about their complaining XD I told him that 1. they're old and therefore entitled to being crotchety and 2. if it embarrasses him so much (they seem to get really pissy at restaurants and generally make scenes), tell them that he doesn't appreciate their attitudes.
That got me more than one dirty look from my mother since it's her parents we were talking about, and Matt just looked defeated . . . . . WHICH is why he's so damn smug right now. I have agreed to bring my Paw-Paw to two doctors' appointments tomorrow, and since they are far apart (10 and 2), they will probably insist on eating out. Matt keeps informing me that I will have a new respect for his godly patience >.> Shyeah. Right. And I'm fucking Orlando Bloom. Me? Respect Matt? Phah.
We'll see.
I think I'll make myself a pot of coffee and just stay awake till we get home tomorrow from the docs. I need to get my body into a schedule anyway, and I usually do that by staying awake till a reasonable hour.
And as soon as I get some MONEY, I'm making an appointment with the allergist. This is getting ridiculous. And the doc I went to didn't give me refills >-< WHY? I've told him I LIVE with the reason for my allergies!!!!!
Also, I recently found a Cajun French Dictionary!!!!!!!!!! I'm so Happy! I've been wanting to learn for so long. It's a dying language . . . They recently started teaching it to kindergartners in order to preserve it, but they only teach it in the very, VERY Southern areas . . . here and Grand Isle come to mind. And even if I never do speak it, I'll at least be able to spell the words I do know ^_^ French is not phonetic, Cajun even less so. My mom and I got into a huge ass fight last night over how to spell "bouillie" (Boo-YEE). This is actually a fight that started back during Thanksgiving when Maw-Maw was talking about how many of each type of pie she was going to be making for the holidays. Bouillie can be the filling for a pie (tarte a la bouillie), eaten on it's own, or - like mom did last night - used it as a pudding and crumbled crackers into it for a nice after-dinner dessert. It's sort of like a custard but not quite - basically condensed milk, lots of sugar, and thickening agents (baking soda, baking powder, etc.) thrown in. But spelling . . . Hell, I just learned how to spell courtbouillon (Koo-bee-YAHN) not too long ago and that's one of my favorite dishes! (Redfish courtbouillon). And if ya think all that's challenging, you should see my street name. It's hilarious to just sit back and see if folks can guess how to pronounce it (some of the pronunciations I've heard are VERY creative).
Excuse me while I take another random turn XD I've found the perfect Raven character song - one of my old favorites, actually (I've been listening to my old compilation cds that I made when I was cleaning out my cd collection two years ago) ------>
Crawling in the Dark
by Hoobastank
I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of
how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I
take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me
what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking
for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've
been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Help me carry on
Assure
me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will
the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my
story?
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling
in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've
been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
So when
and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer
until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in
front of me
In front of me
Show me what it's for
Make me understand
it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there
something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
Speaking of Raven -- Svelte, I'm in no hurry, but I seriously need your help role-playing a certain scene (I tend to act out my fics -- another reason my bro thinks I'm certifiable ^_^).
Will. Work. On. WoW. Tonight. TONIGHT DAMN IT.
And finally . . .
