This is gonna sound like the ramblings of an insane person, mostly coz it is, but I remembered I made this thread and so I’m gonna use it to vent about how everyone ruined shark week with no expectation or even really desire than anyone reads it.
So, because I’m apparently a deranged pushover, 5 people have invaded my house in less than a 6 month period. My 17 year old nephew has been here for months with no sign of leaving. His pregnant girlfriend also seems to be here 24/7. My son’s home from college. SO’s psychotic Black Panther mother has decided to move upstairs.
I guess if they all showed up on the same day I woulda thought “what the fuckâ€, but they sorta just accumulated over time and now it’s the fuckin Nevada State Home for the Bewildered.
Tangentially, SO’s mom is a 75 year old Haitian lady that wears hilariously large green glasses and always has red lipstick all over her teeth. She reminds me of a Scooby Doo villain. Also, the woman eats like a recently liberated prisoner of war. I once seen her eat an entire wheel of cheese in 20 minutes....
She cooks most nights though, which would be great if Haitian food didn’t have to involve so many goats. Some of the shit she makes tastes like being punched in the kidneys. She’s also real big on removing her wig and sayin grace before meals, but in Haitian Creole, so I gotta prepare myself for the chemical burn of goat stew while an old bald lady chants scary nonsense.
(Also my SO keeps tellin me its racist to assume she’s doin voodoo, but once she had her eyes closed and she reached out, slapped my hand and said, ‘Don’t be drinkin from de bottle, Shoolian. Pour da glass. You isn’t an enemal.’ And she hadn’t even seen what I was doing. So I’m not necessarily sayin its voodoo, but I’m not necessarily sayin it ain’t)
But the point is, I was tryna watch TV the other night coz it was shark week, and there’s a pregnant teenager doin prenatal yoga in the corner, my son and nephew screaming at some Korean kid on the playstation, SO’s mom constantly grabbing my arm to measure it against the sweater she’s decided to knit me (in July… in the desert) while telling me about her fuckin creepy dreams about people wrapped in plastic at the DMV, a toothless cat yawning like a fuckin haunted gargoyle on top of the piano and SO harassing me about which bills I have and haven’t paid (when the answer is always literally none of them).
Also work is stressful to the point that I woke up with a lobster claw in my pocket (???) and the bed was covered in glitter. SO told me that we’d gotten home at 3am and I’d ranted at the Uber driver about Fukoshima and seafood for 30 minutes while insisting he played “Starman†on a continuous loop. Also he gave me a “salted duck egg†for whatever reason. I tried to eat it when we got home but it still had the shell on.
That derailed pretty quick but anyway. End of bizarre online rant to self.
