ZOMG YAY WACKY HINDU GODS LOL



I am just gonna post this picture whenever my life feels too fucking ridiculous to handle. Because nothing is more ridiculous than this picture.

Dear friends, as if it wasn't stressful enough that I'm covering for two people at work right now plus being directly supervised by the office bully, the wee sister and I are heading off to a Family Reunion for the weekend. This would be fine if it were Paternal Family, who are all very dark and warm and jolly and love each other. Unfortunately, it is Maternal Family, who all put on airs and talk about how wonderful they are and carry grudges until death. They're like Lucille Bluth and Emily Gilmore but without the fun and compassion.

... Okay, not *all* of them are like this, but there's a distinct meanness to them that I'm not looking forward to.

PLUS we will be in rural panhandle Texas, in a little dry town (a DRY TOWN! And us, West Indians!! This WILL NOT DO) in what I assume will be sweltering heat.

WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS

Whoa, that's a lot of fuckup!

I wish you all possible support for making it safely through the reunion.

I've been trying to compose something sarcastic about the hippy cargo-cultists of California, but I can't make it cohere. Not that there's anything coherent about that dress anyhow OMG WHAT A MESS.

Good luck with the reunion! I hope for mysteriously-acquired liquor to defeat the sweltering heat.

Two words for you: "hip flask". Or possibly, "beer run", because maybe the next town over isn't dry? ::sigh:: good luck.

And that picture is just--oh, dude.

you have angered Ganesh

OMG that dress!!! The shit you find on etsy. I love (i.e. hate) how on their forums, you can't out anyone for anything racist or say anything critical about another person's work. Fuck that. I got tired of regretsy, too, as they turned out to be cliquey hipsters.

I am betting they might make their own liquor in that dry county of yours. But yeah, dry county usually means you buy it across the county line and sneak it in. Enjoy the thrill of doing something sneaky that will be one of the few things that will get you through the reunion. Good luck!
