The Day After
Nov. 26th, 2004 11:06 amThanksgiving went okay. For the most part, I talked with my cousins, spent some time talking with Aunt D., or played with the babies. At one point, my not-really-a-cousin, G., asked if my sister and I wanted to make a Starbuks run because "us younguns got to stick together." He even footed the bill. That was nice, because normally, we're just stuck in the house all day.
When asked about school, I just said everything was fine. My Aunt T. reminded me that last time we talked I'd "had a bad day." I just repeated that everything was fine. I don't know if she got the hint that I wasn't goign to talk about anything to her, but she did stop asking. Unforuntatly, she jumped to the topic of my personal life, which she's never done before. Apparently, now that I'm not going to college anymore, it's time to start looking for a man.
This will be the breaking point. I need to find a way to let her know, but if she continues to harrass me on things that are none of her business, I simply will not go to her house. It's bullshit. I don't need to get married, dont' particulary want to get married, and definetely wouldn't talk about anyone I'm seeing with her, even if I was dating a man. It's so completely not... her busienss, i can't imagine why she even brought it up.
My cousin's wife made a slight comment, too, but it wasn't exactly the same. She, my aunt, and my mother were talking about how ridiculous house prices were. She said something about how hard it'll be for me, or had I thought about it, or what was I going to do or something. I simply said I can't imagine it being a concern right now since I dont' know why I need a house. Because, I don't need a house. I'm a single woman with no kids. I don't have a serious boyfriend, I'm not pregnant, it's not an issue. Why should I even be thinking about it? I'm living at home. Plus, I'm not exaclty sure how the market goes, but I was under the impression that house prices wont' stay exorbirant for the rest of my life. And, even if they do, maybe I'll choose not to live in a house. Or maybe I'll become a famous writer and make enough money to afford a house.
Whatever. It's all so stupid. It's like people asking me if I'm planning on getting married. Why would I be planning on getting married? I'm not seeing anyone and it's not an issue. I find it a little artifical to want to be married for the sake of being married. To me, you want to get married beacuse there's a person you want to spend your life with, not becuase being married is what you do.
Wow, I'm in a pissy mood today.
