The world has officially ended….
So I dropped the bombshell on Gary and Damitra about the volunteer service possibility for my post graduate life and it basically started a family feud. For real this time. While I have it on good authority I could do no wrong in the eyes of the Meeds….I may have been getting my info from a source who misled me.
So the fam got together for one of our family fun night meals plus Andy’s best friend and minus my back up (Andy and Emily managed to escape-damn them). So I was mentioning how I have been offered a job in Fiji helping to abolish coup activities, etc in their government and help establish more democratic form and what-have-you. Well after this life changing announcement I was hoping for a more advice ridden reply and all I got was “The men in Fiji are short” then with my reply of “what?” she then followed with “They would barely come up to your neck. You have to start thinking about the important things in life”. SO I handed it to Damitra. And while it was less than comforting to walk out on my grandparents that was insanity. So my mom was all “why don’t you take Ben (andy’s best friend) our for drinks, to show him around town” (Ummm first of all its his hometown too, so he should be fully aware of where everything is located and second NO) but I did it.
I felt like an underpaid, overdressed; too attractive for the occasion cab driver – if that’s possible. So after three bars and not one single drink for me, I left Benjamin at Carlos with his margarita and lime to go home. Except guess who has been waiting to talk to me? Oh yes, so we chat about how she isn’t trying to pressure me into doing something I don’t want but I keep passing up great men for nothing. As if I wasn’t having enough trouble dealing with Mike and the lack of engagement. It’s always comforting to know my family thinks I threw my life away for nothing.
In the meantime, while I’m not trying to be all anti men; I am perfectly happy finishing school and planning my life all while being single and man free. Too bad grandma can’t see that. So right before she left (and we still had neither budged in our opinions) she says to my mom “I don’t know how to keep her from ruining her life” so I chimed in with “just stay out of it and I will be fine!” which was probably not the best choice of words, but I’m sick of this crap, we all thought it was funny until she turned all Marriage Nazi on me.
So yeah what a night it turned into being. Which then came as a surprise to no one that I had the worst migraine of my life on Saturday. My life = fabulous
