The future is today! (Worry about it tomorrow)
I spent all weekend watching Buffy Season 7 and Angel Season 4. I switched series after each disc ended, and just completely geeked out over the whole experience. I sorely miss these shows, and forgot how much I loved seeing these characters lives every week. Lost and The Shield are great to watch, but they just aren't filling the holes these two shows left in their wake, IMO.
Anyway, accomplishing this feat naturally meant I spent the entire weekend indoors, eating crap food, drinking more soda than I have in months, and staying up to probably 3 AM each night (I actually woke up at 7:30 New Year's morn, made some coffee and waffles, and continued on without missing a beat) I'm fairly sure I pissed some people off (both friends and family) by staying in by myself New year's Eve. I remember being VERY pissed with my mom and my sister, who just naturally presumed that since I made no plans, I would be spending the evening at my sister's playing her retarded games. The girl has a serious obsession with playing board games, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the yuppies invented Trivial Pursuit in the 80's. Anyway, it's like she didn't realize that by having a family and moving to fucking Lancaster, she would be cutting herself off and alientaing herself from all her shallow, trendy friends. Oops. Doesn't automatically make me your new best friend.
Family is the biggest drawback of having to live out here. I cherish my solitude, and all I can get accomplsihed with it. They always want to do....stuff. That's what it is. Just stuff. I overheard my dad and grandmother talking about how all I do when I come home is just lock myself up in the basement. That's because if I have to listen to my family prattle on for more than a few minutes, I want to pull my hair out. I have very little tolerance for situations or events that bore me. I know, it makes me no different than any human, but I just flat out can't tolerate it. That's why I never go over my blasted sister's house. After an hour, any novelty has worn off, and I leave. It's why I always drive myself over.
Now they want to know about what my plans are for summer vacation. They want to spend a week in the Outer Banks and another week in Wildwood. I just want to hang out here and decide day-to-day what I'll be doing. Go on vacation with them, and everything is part of an agenda. No thanks.
