Happy Birthday! 31 is like 25 should be, I can't wait to be 31! 22 sucks; you're too old to appreciate the same things you did a few years ago (partying, teenage trends, drinking, etc.) but you're still too young and inexperienced enough that every real world situation you encounter is [size=16pt] a huge fucking monster[/size]. Of course you don't feel you've accomplished anything, you've just exited the "waiting room" of life (birth being admition, childhood and adolescence being training). At 30, you can finally start living, making your life your own. You can do this for a good 30 years 'til you can just kick back and reap in the benefits (returning to that waiting room) 'til you can quit this elite program your parents forced you to do.

Okay...so apparently my sister doesn't care for a friend of ours.
She has never expressed this to Will and I....but her fucking attitude should have been the first clue.
I'm sick of walking on eggshells around her at my own house.
This is MY house and if she doesn't like who I invite over - maybe she should stay the fuck away.
She comes over yesterday in a piss poor mood - basically venting about her kids so we thought that was why.
Her and the 4 year old go on a walk after they ate...I said to the 11 year old, "'Wow, your mom is in a really foul mood....why?".
He proceeds to point at my and my guys friend and says, "Cuz he's here, my mom doesn't like Clint"
For about a second I was speechless...then I laughed it off and said "Oh well, she can get over it"
I felt so bad for Clint though!
I seriously think my sister in bi-polar. She will be fine one minute, blowing up at someone the next.
Her kids get the worst part of it because she tends to take her moods out on them.
I'm am so sick of her hold / cold attitude, snarky comments, screaming at her kids and not knowing what kind of mood she is in one minute to the next.
The last couple of times we have invited people over ... it has not been a pleasant experience.
Instead of sitting here today talking to Will about how much fun yesterday was and how good the food was etc....I have been bitching about my sister.
It isn't fair to anyone!
I am going to sit down in a bit and write my sister a letter letting her know how I feel about all this.
I hope it may be the wake up call she needs..but instead, she will probably just get pissed and go bitching about me behind my back; saying I'm choosing my friends over her and the kids etc....
I'm not *choosing* anyone over the other necessarily...but I do choose to surround myself with happy go-lucky people instead of miserable assholes who take their moods out on everyone else.
I have one set of rules in my house, and I expect every child to follow those rule. Her kids are no more "special" than any one elses.
FUCK....I'm still so stressed over all the bullshit.

I'm in a similar situation: I feel in the middle of a tug-of-war between one best friend and my fiancee/THE best friend/other half. Obviously, the latter is winner always if it's a "pick a side" situation, but I don't want to pick sides! I just want to be her friend and his fiancee/THE best friend/other half, and live life and just chill. What's worse, there's no reason this wouldn't be possible other than each of their personality's natures just don't mesh well. It started out with him continuously frustrated with her out-spokeness and conservative political views, and then cat was out of the bag and she figured out he didn't like her, he felt bad, she seemed okay but it doesn't seem much better. Just today, she called, and I said I didn't feel like going out, and she asked "Really? Or is he not letting you come?" which was COMPLETELY out of left field and I answered honestly with "No, I'm just feeling lazy today" but she didn't seem convinced.
Now I really feel in a corner, I hate dealing with this kind of stupid bullshit.
I hate feeling like this.
