(no subject)
Right, so, Sunday is going to just be tons of fun. We're driving to Jersey for the day to see The Family. My uncles, aunts, &c are all right, though my little cousins can be annoying as they are too small to make intelligent conversation but too big to be sedentary...
But what is really going to make the day is my grandparents. Or rather, my grandmother. She's a nice person, I guess, but she comes from a different planet than my mother and I do. My personal favorite comment of hers is one she says every time she sees me: "So why aren't you wearing any makeup?" She then elaborates on this subject, bringing into the resulting discussion the fact that I will NEVER be attractive to ANY BOYS WHATSOEVER unless I slather myself in makeup, and don't I WANT to attract boys so I can marry a nice man who will be able to support me?
Needless to say, I hate this discussion. There is no way for me to win, either, because I'm a jerk if I argue with my grandmother, but I'm pathetic if I just take this shit. I hate it.
