Hey there,

Just so you know,

I don't want to go to Jekyll Island this year.

I don't want to meet Colin.

I don't want to be with the family.

I don't want to be miserable.

I want to stay in Augusta.

Michael!!

This really hurt my feelings. I don't understand why you want to be in Augusta rather than the beach. It is a fucky, boring town for the most part. I guess it must be because you'll miss your friends. But, you get to see them almost every day, and I NEVER get to see you! And I understand (BELIEVE me, i understand) missing your girlfriend, but seriously... i didn't have a boyfriend over for a "family-only" event till I was at least 16, & SOMEHOW i survived.

And furthermore, it really hurts my feelings that you don't want to meet Colin. I know you think he will just be a big ass, but he is a very fun, cool person, and you not giving him a chance just breaks my heart. You have only interacted with ONE, completely non-representative "nora friend," who btw, you hate because he doesn't like ICP (wtf, get real, it's not like i expect everyone to skeet at my gay-ass tori amos jams), so i think it is clear that your judgement MAY be skewed. Also, just because i met him in Athens (imagine this, I may not EVER meet another potential suitor from a city in which i am not enrolled) doesn't mean he's not quality. In fact, it means he's MORE quality than the faggos I meet from the AUG. I really care about him, and there's just no way I wouldn't be sweet and supportive about your significant other (unless she OBVIOUSLY did not deserve you) so the least you can do is show me that same respect. I just can't believe you would think something so hurtful and terrible. You should instantly be on the side of ANY man who shows your (little) sister the respect and love that she deserves & that no other goon has bothered to show her.

Happiness is a state of mind, my friend. When you choose not to be, you will not be. Keep it real. Here is some perspective:
-You are going to vacation at the beach for a week.
-You can enjoy yourself alone; your family will afford you that much respect as long as you are likewise respectful of their demands as hosts (aka come out to family dinners and be the minimal level of CIVIL).
-Oh, you poor thing, they're paying for the whole vacation. I know this doesn't mean much to you now, but wait till you have to avoid spending ANY money (aka not even groceries) for 2 weeks because you can't afford RENT (that's right, that buys your freedom to OCCUPY A SPACE. And nothing more.) And no, you're not entitled to that even though you're a their "kid." Which brings me to my next point:
-You are living with your parents. You are not an adult. Just speaking in the terms of reality, that means you have to do what other people say.
-Nora and Gregory will cry if you don't come, or if you come and act like a bitchy ass. That's right, i'm busting out some guilt, but that's the way it goes, nigga. Your siblings have once felt the oppressive weight of parental expectation at a time when we couldn't care less. Speaking from experience, if you don't respond, they aren't eager to either. This is in your own interest, and otherwise your siblings will think you a weak-ass (cross-reference Uncle Mike if you must) if you stay home in Disgusta, GA.

And that is that.

word. I coudn't have put it any better. I'm not spending all that cash to go out there and NOT see my only brother. You know, seeing you in WoW is not really the same. And maybe I'm saying that cos I'm miles away, but at the same time this is going to be a very good, much needed vacation for me. I want to sit around, chill with my family, drink alcoholic beverages, and be ridiculous in the ways I can't with a heavy work/school schedule. DUDE! I want to hang out with you. for fuck sake.
