goodnight, goodnight.

Well, the family descended upon the house a little after noon.

It was nice to see everyone. James was very excited to see me, which was gratifying. Gary's girlfriend, Amy, was very nice--I think we'll keep her.

Gary called me out on my complaints about him ignoring me, and he did this in front of the entire family, the jerk. I had a more unkind word

AHAHAHAHAHAH I wish I had been there... when he "called you out" on your complaints, I would have been like, "Oh right...lol in this country we only communicate to our relatives via Hallmark on very obligatory religious or birth related holidays... Marcie must have forgotten, silly girl."

Your family would have hated me, but that's an occupational hazard of being a smartass.

...I cannot tell you how much I love you in this moment. I both laughed and teared up.

I don't even care; I wish you had been here. My grandpa would have loved you and I love you (and my parents love you), and that's all that matters.

Hughughug.

I'm glad you got to NC okay. <3 Tell Boyface hi from me.

Seriously though.... wtf could he possibly have said to rid himself of blame, and in turn thrust it upon you? I can't think of the right combination of words. Kid must be a genius.

I miss you. ;_; I wish everything could have worked out this year... but there is next year, damnit,

Oh, he said, "Oh, and you" --I looked up-- "you may get on me about not keeping in touch with family and stuff, but look who's noticeably absent. Ben couldn't be bothered to come see us."

I could not believe he said that in the middle of the living room.

I wasn't going to bring it up! I wasn't even sure he'd gotten the message yet. Apparently, he did, and the fact that I said I was HURT in it bears little value.

Shitake mushrooms, I feel like crying, right next to my semi-annoying cousin--not over the Gary incident. Crying with the I-love-you-ness. I miss you, too. ;_; Thank God for cars.
