RANT

CALLING ALL PARENTS AND/OR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ANY SOCIAL SKILLS: These are signs that your child or person you're talking to is not interested in the current topic spewing out of your mouth.

1) the person you're talking to has nothing else to do, and is not looking at you or their eyes wander.
2) They're not responding with anything more than "yeah, uh-huh, ok"
3) they roll their eyes at certain points (at least you know they're paying attention when they do this) or tilt their head back to look at the ceiling in exasperation, frustration, or being just plain flabbergasted at your stupidity.
4) there are multiple attempts to change the subject... to ANYTHING other than what you're talking about.
5) they cannot control their tone of voice because it becomes extremely difficult not to go postal on you due to prolonged exposure to idiocy.
6) They frequently CLOSE THE DOOR IN YOUR FACE when your point has been made, entered their brain, and flown right out the other ear.
7) they fidget with something, and pay more attention to that than your flapping lips and continued noisy vocal patterns you call speech.
8) they pace, or move in another manner to indicate feeling cornered or closed off from the rest of intelligent humanity.
9) they suddenly become hungry and use it as one of their frequent attempts to change the conversation to something less moronic. However, considering the fact that some people (the person I'm ranting about) might actually need this tutorial, the attempt will likely fail.

All of the above my mother needs to hear. repeatedly. and possibly shoved into her brain with repeated 'boot to the head' style instruction. She just rambled on for about two hours about the most random shit that nobody really cares about at this moment in time, OR is just plain tactless. The post below states that my cat was put to sleep on Sunday... TWO DAYS AGO. It also states that I burst into tears while waiting for Loki to get off work. Mother knew this, and yet kept going ON and ON and ON forever about the cat, how she was put to sleep, WHY she was put to sleep, how she misses her, how dad misses her, etc. Plus she flaunted the fact that she gets to go shopping on someone else's money today, AS WELL AS get a free meal out of it.

Granted Loki takes me out for food all the time, but we're dating and most of the time it's because we either don't have the materials or facilities to cook something for ourselves, or we're on time constraints and need sustenance rather quickly. This person is supposed to be my mother's friend (although it's more of an acquaintance, and a business one at that) and she's letting mom buy whatever she wants, and this lady's going to pay for it. Oh, did I mention that she lives in Nebraska, took a plane out to see my mom, AND is throwing money at my mother in order to spend time with her?!?!

This is the same woman (my mother) who broke off three good friendships for the same reason, even though she was doing the same thing to them.

So, she can use other people, but she can't be used in return? HYPOCRITE MUCH?! I'm sorry but that shit makes me angrier than a wet cat in a sealed igloo surrounded by anchovies. She wonders why I want nothing to do with her... well it's because she's a hypocritical ass who has no tact or sense of humor and expects everyone to bend over backwards for her because she's "old", has had her uterus ripped out of her and therefore was flung into menopause before I was even born, doesn't have a job or any friends, can't support herself, is constantly suicidal, is unhappy in her marriage because her husband "won't spend time with her", and has absolutely no life. That woman has more issues than a downsyndrome crackbaby with aids, and she wonders why she has no friends?! Don't make me laugh. This is also the same woman who INSISTS that I have this complex that demands that I be the center of attention all the time, every day. I think she needs to look in the mirror before accusing me of anything even remotely related to anything with that nature.

Ok, so now that that's out of my system, I'm going to go to bed before I accidentally murder the next small child that gets within a ten foot radius of me.

Blessed Be,
SNT
