Why Is My Family Inept

On Thanksgiving after my family finished eating my aunts sorry excuse of an all organic dinner, they thought it'd be fun to play a game as a family. My sister brought up taboo from the game room and barely two minutes later everyone was already arguing over who would be on which team. Personally, I find arguing over games to be really irritating. There are very few "good" reasons to get so heated over a game and anyone partaking in a debate tends to sound like a complete tool. They made me play anyways.

Not even five minutes into the game, my cousin A.j and I started getting yelled at for being "shitheads" Everyone aside from whoever we were making fun of at the time thought we were being hilarious. Every other person who went seemed to create another debate and the game would be delayed. Alcohol plus my family attempting to accomplish something is everything short of pathetic. The amount of times the conversation made another run off was almost impressive though. By the third time around the table my step sister and I ditched the game to watch netflix. It was a quality night.

Trick or Treating

"It's like we're too old to trick or treat, but too young to die."

Passing out candy on Halloween was not only identical to receiving free birth-control, but also sort of sad. Like one, we can't run around and receive a bunch of free candy, but it's more the fact that we're too old for it altogether. It just made the fact that this is our last year of high school a little more real than before. Plus the fact that Tiana and I sat outside in her driveway for over an hour handing out candy to extremely annoying little kids didn't help very much either and in addition to the obnoxious kids, it was freezing outside.

For me, the whole thing is kind of bittersweet. Like, the idea of growing up is sort of scary and it's a little hard to feel completely prepared for it. But at the same time, it's really exciting to realize high school is over soon and most of us will be going to college. I'm more than ready to get a break from this town and get a change of scenery. I'm excited to learn to things and see new faces, but then i'm also sad to know that I won't get to see the kids I've known forever in school every single day. I'm not exactly sure how I got all of this out of trick or treating, but I did.
