LUSHTICE

Hello from Monroeville, PA - a suburb of Pittsburgh for all those unfamilar.

I’m on a short overnight visit with my Mom to celebrate Christmas with her side of the family. We’re going home in the morning and honestly I couldn’t be more excited about it.

Don’t get me wrong.. it was absolutely amazing to see my Grandmother. I love her with all my heart. She’s the strongest person I know. As my grandfather lost his battle with lung cancer a few years back — she was in the midst of receiving treatment for breast cancer (for the second time). Currently she’s in the middle of her second or third battle with Lung Cancer. While cancer seems determined to get the best of her… she doesn’t let it show. She’s as stubborn and strong-willed as ever. I don’t know how she does it!

It’s an Uncle that has me so wound up right now. It’s not enough that every single time he talks to me or sees me he degrades and talks down on me. No No No. He has to make a point to tell me I’m a piece of shit in front of the extended family & friends. And then he has the nerve to act like he knows EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING as far as my life is concerned. It’s my fault that I haven’t graduated college and can’t because I’m $10,000 in collections. Oh, and to top it all off with a cherry on top.. apparently I am nothing more than a Band Slut?!?!? Seriously?! When was the last time I slept with someone? Oh THAT’S RIGHT… NEVER.

Yup, apparently that’s all my family thinks I do… Fuck random band dudes to get into shows for free. So that’s nice. Not only does half of Buffalo think this about me. So does my family.  It used to be extremely hilarious because well, it’s the furthest thing from the truth… but it’s starting to get old. REAL FAST.

My uncle should be happy I hadn’t been drinking whiskey today I would have knocked his teeth out. I don’t care if he’s family. And I don’t care if I’m his only niece and he loves me. Sure has a funny way of showing it. Asshole!

So yeah. Home tomorrow. Buffalo on Tuesday afternoon to get away from everything for a few days and celebrate New Years with the people that matter most… my friends! Fuck everyone & everything else!

To end this on a good note…  here is a picture of my uncle’s 12 week old puppy, Abbie, and I. SO CUTE! I WANT TO STEAL HER! Excuse me looking like a haggard mess. It was like 69 degrees today and I was over dressed and in a pissy mood for obvious reasons.

xo,
