LKJGFJLTGRF98YT5OHDSFHIOJ....ok, now that I have that out of my system. I just got this enraged phone call from my mother because lask week she asked me to call my aunt because apparently I hadn't cashed my birthday check from September so she needed to know if she should cancel it. My mom gave me the whole guilt trip thing about how apparently it costs $10 to cancel a check. I felt lame that I lost track of the check. But I forgot to call her, until just now when I mom called and said some not nice stuff which I can't even recall because I've already erased it from my memory, and demanded that I called mu aunt right that second and then she would call back in a few minutes to make sure I did it. Yes I forgot before, yes it was bad of my, but not a crime worthy of this. So I called, expecting the worst because of how mad my mom was, but my aunt was perfectly nice, said my voice sounded older, and said she would go and see me at the Doo Dah parade on Saturday. So I called my mom back, atleast giving myself the advantage of calling her before she called me, and she was still raging and said something about how I can't say anything bad about that side of the family because I am no better....ouch...and then the phone went dead or something, I'm not really sure who's cell cut out of if she just hong up. Now...the comment about me not being able to sya anything bad about that side of the family, that comes from way back when I graduated HS and my thank you card for my graduation gifts for my grandma got lost in the mail, so she decided I didn't send her one and refused to send me a Birthday or Christmas card....wow...I'm sorry but that was really fcuking immature. So anyway, that and among other things is why I don't really have the nicest things to say about that side of my family, as my cousin put it, "sometimes I wonder if we pour water on grandma if she would melt." I think also what made my mom so mad was that for some reason my grandma decided to get involved in this whole Birthday check thing and called my mom and bitched to her about it, so I guess because my mom's mom yelled at her it was then logical for her to yell at me. I think she's also annoyed at me because I told her that if I had to bend over backwards just to please my grandmother, I wasn't going to. I think she's also annoyed at me because I didn't send out any thank you cards after my Birthday. But you know what, I'm sorry, but I'm in college now, I have a job, I'm living on my own and succeeding, I don't think anyone should judge me on the fact that I didn't have time to send out some fucking thank you cards. They should be happy that I'm not all fucked up and drugged out like others in the family and forget about their damn thank you cards. Seriously, how many of you send out thank you cards to everyone who gave you something? Yes I use to do it when I lived at home, but that was because I had her constantly reminding me about it. Yes I intend to send thank you cards again in my life, but right now I have way too many other more important things to worry about. Maybe you all do send out thank you cards and I just suck, but whatever. If my mom and her mom want to disown me over it, then that's a pretty sad reason to lose a family member. This especially sucks because now I have no urge what so ever to go home for Thanksgiving, which is extremely sad bacause this holiday is suppose to be all about family.....I need a hug.....do I really suck this much at life?
