Family

Who doesn't love a good family gathering where everyone, EVERYONE gets together? More often than not you'd end up having a ball even if there is some drama because that's when the real fun starts anyway.

But families are kinda like high school. The cool people only wanna hang out with the other cool people and there is a whole lot of stuff going on that you don't know about, then you find out, and you really wish they'd done a better job  keeping it quiet.

The definition of cool ain't that different either, if you've got money and/or connections, you're my best-est-est friend. I bet if people spent anywhere near half the energy they spend trying to be best friends with these people on trying to get themselves up there with them, they'd be pretty darn successful.

The uncool kids don't exist. Oh wait, yes they do, when you need something done or you need to look good or you're just feeling a little charitable. Scratch that last bit, charity wouldn't involve getting something in return which would defeat the purpose of doing something.

Its strange how everyone seems to operate with an agenda. I appreciate that you've got an end in mind, but must it be so endlessly destructive? Though, to be fair, I haven't actually been affected in any way. Possibly because I don't involve myself enough, which seems to be paying off. Way to go, little me.

Family is really the time to pull out the masks but don't forget to polish it before you put it on because the glare might just keep people from spending too much time around you. I kid!

I genuinely love my family, its just that sometimes things get a little bit silly in other families' uh... don't quite know what to call it... shoving their way through the self-created rat race to be the most popular family? If I had to guess, I'd say God gave us crazy families so we'd get used to just laughing things off by the time we get out into the real world.

If it starts to affect me though, the earrings are coming off. Just sayin'.
