Nov. 10th, 2009 10:17 amLJ is back :DDD The frequency that I use Twitter/Facebook is increased exponentially when LJ is down, I find. Tools of procrastination > actual stuff to do, obviously, but WoW was (is still) down too, and I feel justified because my goal for today is accomplished already. yes! *fistpump*
Me and my brother are in a weird United Against Parental Authority mode right now, except it's our uncle, and we've never really been on a anti-parental thing before because it was just our dad when we were growing up, so we were all more like best buds than family, but whoa, that's another story for another time.
So my uncle seems to be oblivious that the same qualities that he finds annoying in his mother are his; namely, asking inane, obvious questions and hovering and making people nervous and uncomfortable. I do make an effort to have things not be so awkward, but there's only so much one can do when his very presence makes me edgy and embarrassed in a way. It only happens at home cuz I don't have occasions to go out somewhere with him, but I know I make faces like why are you still talking? Please find someone else to bother and I feel terrible about it -__- John's worse at hiding his awkwardness than I am, and Uncle still doesn't pick up on it (or doesn't want to). I'm not describing exactly what it is that bothers us so much very well :| God, I'm terrible at actually confronting people with stuff that bothers me.
Planning on spending the weekend with The Beatles Anthology and finishing my research paper and working on my Xmas things, move on, move on.
