But it's not turned off out of spite.<br /><br />There are a lot of things that want to spill from my fingers through the keyboard onto this little 2x3 comment box, but that wouldn't be fair to a) you, who have tried and mostly succeeded to "be the bigger person" or b)....um....okay, just you.<br /><br />The long and short of it is that "fair," that elusive imp, would tell you to do all the things your friends (and some of us siblings) want you to do: lash out, turn your music up loud, turn the hot water off when R/L is in the shower, cavort about the house in muddy clothes throwing bits of rancid saurkraut in odd directions and what have you.<br /><br />But I feel like I know you, and that plus your thoughts expressed in this post tell me you would hate yourself for it later. Thusly, I'm proud of you for showing as much restraint as you have thus far. Few others in the entire globe would have been able to. I wish I could be there to back you up, to tell R/L how wrong/childish/unfair she is/has been, but I probably wouldn't hold back like you have. You're the better person for it. The next three weeks may be long, it may fly by. Either way, just think how beautiful May is going to be.<br /><br />And if you need me to leave angry voicemails in Russian for R/L, let me know.<br /><br />Love you, sis!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990381141198744913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97449014417154544.post-31463930773089543552011-04-11T20:35:02.285-07:002011-04-11T20:35:02.285-07:00Wow.
