......Does anybody feel that the title might be...somewhat ironic/sarcastic?
If so, you are correct. In fact I feel neglected, especially by my own bloody family. Not my close family (parents and brother), but by the rest.
First off, my family ain't very big to begin with. I think, if we scrape together all the family we've actually have at least a bit contact with, it amounts to 13 people or something, including we four.
Now, I'm graduating in 2 weeks and because of that I'm throwing a graduation party for family, friends and friends of my parents. Or at least, it was supposed to include my family. Even though it's been almost a month since I sent out the invitations and the deadline for answering is this saturday (June 14th), I still haven't heard from my grandfather on my mother's side at all. My grandmother on my father's side ain't coming, because it's inconvenient and she doesn't want to go over here twice in 3 weeks (that'll be my parents' 25th wedding annivesary). Thanks a lot, gran, for opting out on the graduation of your last grandchild because it's inconvenient...it's nice to know one matters. She didn't even tell me herself and didn't seem fazed by my mom and dad telling her off. -_-'
My aunt and uncle and my two cousins are not coming either, as they apparently have something very important to do. Not that I was really looking forward to seeing them, as my aunt usually talks to me like I'm 6 years old and stupid/deaf (newsflash, auntie - turning 20 this fall!) and my cousins are just spoiled and annoying. Yet they are family and we faithfully turn up every time they throw something, even if we don't want to. But again, apparently I am less important than so many other things.
Not that I ever did get much attention from the rest of the family. I've just always been there; polite, quiet me who never really asked for anything from them except a little attention now and again. Oh, well...at least some of my friends are coming. They've said so, anyway.
...and it's late again and I should be studying for my art exam friday morning. Better go to bed before midnight and then get up early. Wish me luck, please. I think I'll end up needing it as I'm beginning to get nervous.
neglect,
