(no subject)
I received a phone call from a former friend's mother today. She calls each and every year to "inquire" how I'm doing. It's more like a fucking interrogation. She called up today, and the first thing she said was,
"Oh you're going into law are you? So is my daughter. What did you get on your LSAT?"
Um wtf? How about, none of your fucking business?
She didn't even BOTHER with a polite, "hey, how are you doing." Just slammed in question after question, "Where are you going to school? What's your GPA?"
Oh and of course, the classic: "How tall are you now?"
I don't even know why this stuff still gets to me. It's just so infuriating, for the entire year of difficulties I have dealt with, to have her sit there and JUDGE me based on the scores I got from a few fucking tests. Not only just judge (because if she just judged, I wouldn't care this much), but she's like the entire Asian community, just WAITING for me to fail (she's not the only one who calls every year to express their "concern for how I'm doing," she's just the most tactless one.)Yes, it sucks I beat her daughter in swimming when we were TEN YEARS OLD, and I happen to be 5'11' when their whole family strives to be above 5 ft tall, but it is just RUDE and INSENSITIVE to sit there, waiting to hear if I've fallen flat on my face. God, if she's only known that not only have I fallen flat on my face already this year, but I've broken every bone on the way down, she'd shut her damn mouth. But I'd be dead before I let her have that satisfaction.
You've gotta wonder if the only reason why petty people like them exist in the world is because they've never faced any real problems themselves.
Ok. End of rant.
