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

:stares at picture::

...I'm sorry. I need to go away for a bit and collect myself. Whatever I was going to say was blasted away by that picture.

and...peacock feather? what. WHAT.

oh reunions. I went to one once where I was sent to feed ducks during picture time because I was step-family. \o/ good luck dealing with yours.

Oh, DEAR.

The photo leaves me speechless so I will just say: :pat pat: in response to your family trip.

You just had to share that picture. I see how you roll.

Srsly, though. I understand the family drama. A dry town? WTH? Oh Texas*, never change.

(*I went to TCU in Ft. Worth for a few years in the 80s and had never run into the whole dry town concept before)

LOLLL that's it - when we get back, we're creating that blog I was mentioning and then Yeloson and Delux_Vivens had to peer pressure me and now I really totally want to. YOU HAVE TO DO IT AS WELL OR ELSE IT WILL FALL APART.

Just prepare yourself for the worst, and then everything that'll happen will be awesome! Also - remember:
1) you'll never see them again
2) they'll all try to be fakey-fakey, which is NASTY but then you don't have to feel obliged to make eye contact or even listen to what they have to say.
3) NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN. They're all waaayyy all over in all those places and we're here.

Sigh. I wish you COULD meet up with Dad's side instead. When I went for big bro's wedding, it truly felt like coming home.

Do you know how long I spent trying to figure out if the peacock feather was originally part of the dress or if the model just stuck it down the front of her dress? DO YOU?!

The only way that picture could be better (or, really I guess, worse) is if she'd been wearing a feather headdress. I'm actually kind of surprised that she's not.

I want there to be so much shit talk about the nonsense that goes on on Etsy. Aiiiiiiiiiiigh.

I'm terribly sorry that you have to go to Texas and aren't allowed to drink while you're there. :(

I guess she can tell the difference between 'dot' and '(non-peacock) feather'??!!!! TEE HEE I KNOW WHAT RACISM IS, SO IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S IRONIC!!!!!!!!!!

(lol I didn't realize the image was a link) *click* OMG WTF THE FUCKING IDIOT CAN YOU NOT SEE THE FLUTE AND THE COWS - OH WAIT YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HINDUISM, IN FACT IT'S PROBABLY MORE FUNNY-CUTE THAT YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT ABOUT IT, RIGHT.

I want to get an account on Etsy just so I can ream her out.

Oh wait, that's what our blog will be for. LOL I anticipate Etsy will be our first stop to get content rolling!

But how are you expected to survive a family reunion without alcohol? Does not compute.

Duh, it'd be eagle feathers so she can better harnass the power of her chi as she worships Pele.

And poor you! The only things I can think of that are worse than being stuck with family all weekend are being stuck with them all weekend in a rural town in sweltering heat without booze. Can you BYOB and a swamp cooler and pretend you aren't related to these people?
