....I'm learning how to not be so nice.

Well....not nessarily not being so nice. But learning to be stubborn when I need to be. Stop being gentle with people who are far too spoiled.

My younger sister Courtney has worried me for years....I kept worrying that she'd grow into a bad sort of person. I was just hoping that it'd be some sort of phase. You know...I mean everyone goes through a self-centered phase? Right? They grow out of it? Right?

...*sighs* never did. In fact just ripened with age.

If there's anything that I try to do it's to learn from my mistakes. I was far too gentle for years to someone that needed to be told "No" once in a while....and now my perpetual gentleness has turned Courtney the same way.

...so I got to deal with my sister's tantrum. and Puppy's looking into suing for phone harassment just to put her into a tough position. And her saying things like "Your girlfriend turned you into a horrible person" "Oh no. I just don't put up with your bullshit anymore." "She's a bitch!" "Takes one to know one." "I'm telling Dad!!!" "and years to come it'll haunt you." "I don't care!!" "And that makes you a good Christian." "You're not one to talk." "Neither are you. Never Ever Ever tell me how you felt so close to God. Ever Again." "JUST GET OFF THE PHONE get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone" "*just starts playing with a puzzle* You realize I invented this game...when I was 3....the year you were born." "get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone" "*keeps playing with puzzle*" "get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone (~20 minutes later) get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone get off the phone" "*Puppy and I laugh and generally feel overall invigorated*"

Usually I don't associate with such childishness...I let her have her way. And I've done it for too long. She needs to have someone tell her no and not let such behavior be allowed. This seriously has to stop. I've always managed to be a big sister for my younger cyblings and now I get to be the tough love sort of sister for one of them.

*sighs* I'm not sure I'd be able to undo the damage of years of spoiling though...I'll try...but I'm not sure I'll succeed...I'll still try though.

In other news I saw two movies today. Alien vs Predator, and Napolean Dinomite (sp?). Both got horrible reviews...and I liked both of them.

Sure. Don't be expecting silly things like plot and character development in AvP. But if you're looking for two monsters beating the #$@# out of each other...well then there's a movie for you. That and there was this weird romance-ish sorta thing between the Ripley-esque main female and one of the Predators....though Benjy and I were joking that if they kissed and the Predator gave her tongue, she'd die.

And Napolean Dinomite...omg. The dance made the movie. The whole movie. Wow. Amazing. Yeah.

And I was getting Wendy's today and pulled up to the drive through and discovered Kathryn worked there. I wonder if that's a sign to make ammends or not. I know I'm certainly over her and don't have any hard feelings. In fact because of everything I learned alot about myself, my beliefs, and just relationships in general. That and if we didn't part ways I wouldn't be with my Puppy now would I?

*sighs* and now Puppy withdrawl... Did I mention long distance relationship suck? Cause they do. And not in the good way.
