Life

       So...my mother got hospitalized for a small heart attack today. Right now, actually. She was still wasted when she stumbled out of here, apparently, going to a music store; she called us, the person she went with called us, and we didn't hear a damn thing. Stupid phones. Anyway, my brother dumped all her booze and said, "I'm done."
      Okay. Don't know what to do with that. The person she went with called to offer us a ride to the hospital, and my brother said no. As usual, nobody called me, nobody asked me. I exist, right? I mean, no, I don't feel like going, but that's what family does. And she went with me when I had to go to the same out-of-town hospital, so I feel guilty. I feel guilty that my brother said I wasn't going.
      So I just expect her to be all bitchy when she comes home, maybe even bitch herself into another attack... Of course her other daughter will either never know, or just not care when she finds out. Because she is being bitchy too, cutting everyone out of her life, cutting someone out of her life if they mention her family. Her family who helped her, invited her, gave her presents on a normal-ass day... When I found out my 3-piece chocolate bar had a fourth piece, I gave her two!
      She's just being rude. Now, my brother just said he's thinking of kicking her out, he's calling her retarded. Okay, I share the frustration. Can we just stop adding to the rudeness and think for a moment? No, of course not, because I'm a ghost and don't matter at all. It's why nobody's calling me now, it's why nobody called me when I had to go in. People will talk about me, but it's like they avoid talking to me. Maybe, just once, I want to do what families do! Or I guess we're not family.

MSSNG MSSNGR

       You know what I miss...maybe more than talking to people I care about? Being able to slam my laptop shut on people I don't! Knowing with complete certainty that my MSN contact sees, without any delay, that I am offline. That my MSN contact sees that I remain offline until I deliberately sign back in. Having statuses that tell people I'm online, but busy, or away, or whatever the hell the other ones were.
