thanksgiving
ahhh thanksgiving with my family. let's take a few highlights, shall we?
Cousin's husband: "Heya, how's Ti?" then i get to mention that we broke up.
Mom: "So how are things with that girl you told me about?" then i get to mention that she's only interested in friendship.
cousin i never got along with: "I'm pregnant." then it is THE subject of conversation for the next hour.
alcoholic sister: "Let's celebrate! where's the champagne?"
family as a whole: "John Christian," i shudder at the use of the hated name, "there's no more room at the big table, go ahead and sit at the kiddy table."
so i was the first to leave. Didn't say much.
what am I thankful for? Being around family makes it painfully obvious. While i may feel like my friends don't really get me sometimes, they sure as hell get me more than my family does.
Oh and Ti, Ernesto says "hi."
