Reason #524385

I now have another reason to move out of North Carolina...my allergies.

Dear. GOD! I can't wear makeup today. This is becoming an all too familiar incidence. Foundation is all I can bear, because my eyes are raw.

This is considering I am on prescription allergy medication.

So I already know that California is much nicer to my allergies...what other locations in the United States are nicer to allergies? And this is keeping in mind that I don't like cold. So no really cold states either. Desert I can do, but cold? Ick.

Watched Carrie last night. It was a first time for that movie, and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I can see the allure of why Hollywood would want to remake it (and did), but I can also see how that would be impossible. The actors were *real*. The Hollywood ideal of rock-hard bodies and perky breasts hadn't been achieved yet. These were real people. And the religious ferver of Carrie's mother would have been all out of whack in today's movies. It would have been grotesquely overdone for a situation when she's already over the top.

On the other hand, I could have done without the nudity. Hello! They're portraying teenagers. And for once, the kind of actually *look* like teenagers. It's disturbing when we have several females running around naked, even if it is Stephen King.

Crap

I just had a big ole long post about a situation with my family, but it's getting worse and worse. And they're getting on my nerves. Big time.

Sister is screwing up again. She's screwing up on a scale that could cause her to get fired or have major trouble with her husband.

Mom found out (I didn't know either, although I suspected) and freaked. And is freaking to my dad.

I get pulled into the middle (a good thing...believe me) to try and keep the situation as calm as possible. They have finally figured out that it's best that I talk to sister, because she listens to me better. (No, really? Like I haven't been telling everyone this for three years.)

So I do the talking, everyone else does their best not to listen. I want to have a family meeting and get shit out in the open. No one else wants to do it. I flat out *told* my mom on the phone that my sister is an adult and has to screw up on her own, to which mom keeps butting in that it doesn't just affect her, it affects her job and her marriage. Yeah. HER marriage and job. Not mom's. We're family, but dang if mom doesn't get too involved in things. Sister has yet to screw up to the level that actually costs her anything significant. And my sister, I told her on the phone to stop lying, because that's how she perpetuates it all. That's how she causes all of the problems with mom, by lying and then getting caught.

Last. Fucking. Nerve. They're getting on my last nerve.

And of course any and all family meetings we could have? Shouldn't include the BIL. *boggles* I flat out told my sister that nobody was going to be hiding anything from BIL, to which she said that she didn't expect any of us to lie to him for her (at least she's adult on that). But...shouldn't he be involved in some of this stuff? At least in something? Okay, things between my mom and my sister, not so much. But he's family.

I predict they'll be getting a divorce by next summer. *sigh*

And I just want to go home and chill in front of the TV and ignore my family and their stupidity.
