Last day of freedom before the onset of the second term, in Tryst relaxing.
Hmm, so vacation. It went alright I guess. I got the most interesting IM from my cousin the other day. As a back story, when we younger his mother and my mother would often orchestrate times for us to hang out. No regrets, I'd say I rather enjoyed them for the most part. Over the years, as happens between anyone, we grew apart, becoming most evident starting when I was about 16. Both of our families have respected issues and problems. The most striking moment for the extended family was at my cousin's (Bridget) after-wedding breakfast the day after the wedding when my parents and sister stayed at the hotel and I went back to my apartment (I left the wedding like really early, I couldn't take all the family time and the bride angers me quite a bit), thus we came in that morning separately (I took the 71A into town). My cousin (not Bridget, the aforementioned) kept asking me about what was wrong because 'something seemed up.' I told him not to worry about it, in all the craziness between us, I'm not going to sell them out. He has been have familial problems of his own, which I told him he was under no obligation nor asking to discuss them with me but if he needed someone to talk to, I was there for him. So he sends me this IM about a week ago telling me he'd just seen Garden State and couldn't figure out how it could ever be like my life, calling me "goddamn arrogant" because we don't have a "real" relationship, that if I wanted one I could "find him" and give him a call whenever. In sake of kindness I'd rather not elaborate on my thoughts, but since I won't share my deepest feelings and life with him or that we've grown apart makes me "goddamn arrogant?" Yeah, I didn't always want to hang out with him but I did it anyway because I respect him. Apparently that's arrogance because the relationship wasn't say, Hallie and I back in the day. He was mad at me when she was in Pittsburgh with me because when were at that family party with him, I paid attention to Hallie and not him. Hmm, spend the entire time with my cousin or spend it making sure an emotionally unstable drug addict doesn't freak out, priorities? Thinking about it makes me angry.
In other news, To Whom It May Concern, I think you missed the boat in your analysis of what happened.
My mom and sister will be in Baltimore to interview at the nightmare called McDonogh, it'll be good to see them, I think they are coming to Open Mic, which means I better thinking about suggestions for what to play with Chrissy. I'm going to pay the check and going back to campus.
That for you.
