Yes, and I am accustomed to it! No, I am not in cold storage, Free. I wouldn't trust anyone out there, anymore.
My brother Juan called me 3 times today to remind me, I am supposed to be at his house for Christmas. The 3rd time he called, I asked him, 'What the H*ll are you asking me the same thing for?' And he tells me, 'well, it's just that you change so much I am afraid Christmas day will come, and you will not come.' And then he starts listing all the reasons I've not shown up before - he went on for the next (actual) reasons I'd not shown up for other planned events, I think he made it to 10 or 12, because I was becoming angrier by the second. So I tell him, if you call me one more time you'll find out, that I have FINALLY decided, to stay home and work on my stuff. So he tells me, "you are truly a flake Greci, you'd just leave us stranded huh? You are supposed to help me cook . . that's why I need you to make a commitment this time, which you won't break at the very last minute. You have the 3 ducklings, they are the main part of the meal, but I know you, at the last minute, you'll just say, "Sorry, but I've changed my mind . . get some ducklings yourself, blockhead!" and then do one of your disappearing acts for the next month - so it's more like : 'what the h*ll is wrong with you?' So I tell him, call me once more and I'll throw the ducks out the second storey window!' So at this point he became quiet and I hung up.
I am telling you this because the tug of war situation which usually exists between us, has already begun. By the time Christmas day ends we'll have gotten into a great big argument and I'll tell him to go to H*LL!
Thing is, I hate anyone interfering with my life! I do not like to be expected to plan ahead, and not have the opportunity to
escape a social thing at the last minute. I begin to feel like a hostage!
There'll be people here who just bore me to death. All this idiotic shallow conversation, attempts to play IT superficially
because everyone is so afraid of just being themselves.
There was one occasion a couple of years ago, when I had gone with his group of trendy friends to a concert. There was this woman who continuously talked and talked, so that I closed my eyes, just to shut her out from my sight. My brother who had been getting dressed comes down, and the silly woman says, 'Juan,I have a feeling your sister doesn't like me.' And Juan says, oh, she's very temperamental, just don't get too close to her. She'll begin to feel suffocated.' So then he turns to me with a nervous smile and says, isn't that right Grecia? And I said, 'Well Juanni, you are wrong this time, I really do not like your friend!'
Well, let us just say that the concert we attended was very very awkwardly started.
I truly run out of patience very quickly. I can't tell you why, because I don't know, but by now he should Know I do not like to be harassed about anything. I'm showing up for the event, primarily because he gave me the task of buying the ducks! I'll go, but I will get so drunk just to escape the others there emotionally! I already bought the rum.
