let's poke saff with sticks day!

Okay.

relatives from seattle are here.

the first thing they've commented on is my weight - as in I gained some.

Uh, no I haven't.

It's taking all of my zen and innate politeness to not throw a big rock at my uncle's head.

Men, they just don't GET it, do they?

Now my mom and aunt are cloistered in the backyard, and the first sentence I hear is my mom complaining about my utter failure in something or other.

Excuse me while I systematically plan my escape from this family gathering.

Oh dear. Go out. Go to the movies or to the mall or go have an unbelievable huge amount of ice cream just to show you have *not* gained weight.

And listen to 'Boy with the Bubblegun' and pretend Tom wrote it to your relatives :-P

meh :( family can suck. mine does that same stupid tearing-each-other-down thing.

i second that ice cream notion. and possibly a buying one. new cds or something. don't let them get to you, since they clearly have no idea what they're talking about.

I wish I could help, man. I know how families are the BEST for pointing out everything that might or might not be and probably isn't actually wrong... while insinuating strongly it is. I don't understand this malevolent instinct! I wish it'd go away so people could just, you know, stick with being unhappy about themselves instead of trying to drag you down too!

*hug* Sendin' out some love to combat the family madness!

i feel your pain

wha? you're planning? no thinking my dear. no thinking. just get the hell outta there! pronto!

why oh why do family reunions make me feel like one of those toys people put on their dashboard? the ones with the fake smile and bobbing head?
