I just showed the Bad Romance videos three times this morning, because my mom loved it, and insisted I show it to my sister, and then my father. They were very entertained.
I understand not liking her, but I have to say: I really think she's going to be around for a while.

Dudes. Those commercials looked like they were selling subscriptions to Maxim.
I know that when I see a commercial that objectifies and infantalizes women, it makes me want to BUY BUY BUY! Not.
Also, lulz at the thought that any shoe could make my generously sized Italian ass look like the pancakes featured in that commercial (not hating on flat butts, or toned butts, or ANY butts, just the Buttheads who created these commercials to suggest that only one kind of butt was worth having!). Not only could no mere shoe perform such a mighty task, no exercise I perform in any shoe can do that.
lulz. Reebok, you haven't been cool since I bought your magenta high-tops in '87.

I'm heading Up North for my first family Thanksgiving in several years. I DO NOT LIKE THESE EVENTS. My mother is insane, and I feel guilty for not liking her personally. There is obligation there, not a mother-daughter relationship. My father is stubborn, quick to anger, and downright infuriating. He insists lighting up in front of me even though I've asked him not to because it triggers my migraines. This is a man who suffers migraines so debilitating that he's knocked out for days. Last time I asked him -- you see me four times a year, and the cigarettes are more important? Do I have that right?
My sisters and th eir SOs are fine. They're good to see.
My brother is 34 and still lives at home. My parents keep paying for him, even thought he does little more than smoke pot in his boyhood bedroom all day. I was thrown out at 19 because I finally began doing what is normal and exhibiting signs of independence.
I will be seeing my father's fater and sisters -- people he hasn't spoken to in 25 years, and with whom I just re-united a few years ago. But I can't let the parents know I'm doing that, or they would probably not talk to me. I grew up without all my cousins, aunts, uncles, and the only grandfather I've ever known, because of some dumbass family fight that Dad refuses to end.
Then there's the family I re-united with on my MOTHER'S side -- a cousin who probablly been my best friend growing up. She loves books! Me too! She is learning disabled in spatial relationships! Me too! It's amazing the shit we have in common, 20 years later. That has to be a secret, too.
I feel like the ringmaster(mistress?) in a three-ring circus, who must keep attention off one circle while the action is in another.
Yeah, I know. Why bother? They're my parents.
Thank God for my husband.
I'm not sure what my point is.
