So it's only 10:28 AM & I've already been pretty much cussed out twice today. Once by this angry, drunken whore-lady about some shoes her son stole that she wants to return to our stores, & another by an old-ass man who kept saying "I don't care for your tone." Well, I don't care for your lack of teeth, Buster, but I'm not bitching at you about it, now am I?
I'll be taking a half-day today (ie leaving at 11:30) because my (Asian-American) cousin Lee is getting married today to (a non-Asian but undoutedly American from Enterprise) Heather. There will allegedly be vegan-friendly food at the "retreat" that we'll be spending all weekend at. My question is, how do you make vegan cheese? Huh? How? You don't know, do you? Well, Heather does. Cos I think she's a vegan. But she eats my aunt Myong's ribs when she cooks them cos if she doesn't, my aunt would kill her. I'll be spending the entire weekend with various members of my family, including the Pineapple Kids, Alex & Choice, & the Tampa Kids, Megan, Dalton, & Morgan. Woo doggie. I'm kinda praying that they make Charlie come up cos he's 19 now & we always got along. Even though he listens to Slayer & likes a lot of anime. The bad kind.
For their wedding present, my mom put together this relatively chic photo album of mainly pictures of Lee & his dad, Lee by himself, & Lee & Pam (the Pineapple Kids' mom). I was flipping through it last night & I just cried & cried. I forget about my uncle Charlie sometimes cos it's been so long since he died. He passed away in February of my seventh grade year but it seriously feels like yesterday, sometimes. I miss him more than I've ever missed anyone, with the exception of my dad, but my dad's not dead, he's just in Cahaba Heights. With that woman. Anyway, uncle Charlie. He used to cut the most awesome watermelon triangles for me, but not for anyone else. All the other kids had to get the HUUUUUGE pieces & figure out how to maneuver them in the aluminum pans on the pool deck without getting seeds in the water. Cos if you got seeds in the water Lee would KILL YOU. My uncle Charlie died with a cigarette in his hand & a banjo resting up against his legs. He was such a bad-ass. I miss you, hug-a-holic.
Anyway, I'm pretty hungry, & I'm about to have to drive my grandparents to Jasper. I'm not really looking forward to that car ride, basically cos I can't smoke & I won't have any food. Have I mentioned I can't smoke AT ALL this weekend? This will be the first time in about a year I haven't had a cigarette. I honestly don't know what the fuck I'm going to do.
Flirting with people via email is awesome. Even if they are Bama fans.
Time to go see what these sunglasses my mom just bought from wal-mart look like.
call me this weekend, i'll be so bored.
