• Bitch Bitch Bitch, Whine Whine Whine

  I have been back home for less than a week, and already I am beginning to remember why it was so nice to be 3000 miles away with a place of my own.

  Coming up in just a few weeks is my annual Greek Easter celebration. It is a tradition I have been doing for just under 10 years, and one which I am rather proud of and looking forward to continuing.

  Having informed my family I had just sent out the invitations I am instantly greeted with anger and complaints

  ” Why did you do that before telling me who was coming?”
  “Why couldn’t you wait 5 minutes so I could include my friends on it?”
  “Why did you say it was YOUR party?”

  Really? Are you kidding me?

  I said it was MY party because I am the one who does all the work, learned the traditions, and puts it on. The fact that you wish to add your friends to the list does not make it a joint party. (now I have no problem with his friends being added, but lets give credit where it is due, shall we?)

  As for why I sent it out…well, the date of easter isnt changing, so if my family is planning on inviting anyone, they are more than welcome to, but I need to give my friends time to respond since again, this being MY tradition, I am known for doing it. And however many people decide to show up at a HOUSE, I was accomodating 20 people at my apt for this cooking all by myself, so I didnt really think any of this would be an issue.

  *sigh*

  I hope I can pay off enough of my debt to move out sooner rather than later. It’s a lot easier to get along with my family when I have somewhere I can escape to if I need it.
