astralconflict: (FMA - What the fuck)
Today we're gonna help the family to set up for the party, which turns out is gonna be a proper fancy dress party and we weren't properly told sooo we're gonna be so underdressed. I would have brought my contact lenses too if I knew but bleh. It's a 50's themed one so we're just being greasers...? If that's what they're called idk. I'm not greasing my hair back though, dysphoria issues.

Anyways the party is going on from about 7 till 12am and we're going to set up at 1pm or so, so long party. I'm hoping the family drama calms the fuck down. I'm wondering if I should drink tonight because I know if I do I'm gonna be super ill tomorrow (thanks pills) and we're travelling back then so nnngh. Right now mum is ironing all our clothes and such, and she keeps saying how old they are and we're like YEAH WE KNOW WE'RE POOR lmao.

I think Lewis, Steph and Marty are visiting soon too, waiting for them now I think. I should probably pack my bag for later too. I'm probably not gonna update this again today cos we'll be busy and stuff. So short entry today, and my wrist is aching pretty bad anyways so nnnngh.

See you guys soon I guess! Wish us luck!

OKAY so. Let me tell you a story about how fucking racist and rude people can be. Firstly we were stuck in the car with Alan for 5 hours or so? It was a 2 1/2 hour journey but it took twice as long because of several accidents on the roads. He also drove so fast we ended up with a bad stomach ache afterwards. Alan himself is a nice man (and he's done so good for our mum so we're never gonna speak against him to his face) but he's very overbearing and has a thick black country-type accent so is difficult to understand. He also seems to have no concept of what is okay to say about foreigners or not, calling them slur names, blaming them for run down parts of villages/towns etc It made us feel so uncomfortable just sitting in the car. He's straight up racist but also is like 64 so that's at least is easier to understand from our generation's POV?

So eventually we arrived in Wales and mum basically rushed us to go outside and stuff as we had a meal booked at a Chinese restaurant. She also told us my brother-in-law Dane would be coming too and he is honestly an absolute cunt. Basically, he used to be pretty nice and stuff, he was hard-working but I knew he had an awful relationship with his mother. He was going under some stress and such and then he cracked, saw Jesus and some shit and committed himself into a mental hospital who said he had schizophrenia and aspergers. Okay cool, at least he got diagnozed.

But then he just got so lazy it was unbelievable, started being incredibly rude to my sister and my mum, and went so far as to make my other sister cry at Christmas. He blames everything on his illness and now is milking the benefits system, openly stating that he is happy he never has to work again. He spends his days drinking, smoking and leeching off of my sister. He treats her like absolute shit and will never admit that he's changed. As far as I know he's still in therapy but what that's doing who knows.

For a while I just assumed that he's very ill and obviously needs therapy but I'm really not so sure any more. Mum says she's seem him running about without his stick (he gained a LOT of weight so now says he has back problems), and that he seems to be faking a lot of things. He loves to be the centre of attention and will be incredibly rude to most of my family and strangers.

When my sister was very ill in hospital with hydrocephalus he only visited because mum took him, and even then he started a huge argument yelling at the nurse and upsetting her for NO reason. He's an absolute cunt, seriously. I don't believe it's his illness at all. And apparently he has like everything ever wrong with him and managed to sign onto PIP and get a blue badge (whilst even my nana who was VERY ill for many years was refused one). It's absolutely disgusting, seriously.

So anyways, tonight we were at a Chinese restaurant and he proceeded to make VERY loud comments about how he hated Chinese food, how there was only ONE english thing on the menu, told the chinese waitress she should get English lessons and generally took the piss. It upset me to the point I had to walk out and just rant to Charlie bc jesus christ it was bad. My sister just fucking agreed with everything he said too like?? And Alan and my Uncle just spoke over the lady as she was asking for our orders, and then they took the piss when she couldn't hear them. Just nnnnghhhh. There is NO fucking need.

Not to mention almost everyone messing around with the chopsticks like they were 5 years old - sticking them in their mouth like teeth, in their nose, banging them on the table and stabbing them into food, saying loudly that they didn't want to use them. Honestly I felt so fucking ashamed.

I honestly feel like I just went to dinner with a bunch of spoiled kids, not adults. At least I just have tomorrow and then the day after we're going back home. SIGGGH.

So today was the worst. Lots of negative stuff happened, and then to top it off, our rat Casper died. It was quick and came out of nowhere - a few seizures and he was gone. He was super healthy and only just started getting old so... that was a thing. I wasn't even able to see his body, it was too upsetting. My hormones are all over the fucking place and my mental health really isn't good right now. I really wish I could pull out of this weekend but it needs to happen I guess.

I know my auntie is going to constantly bring up my nana, I can feel it. She even changed her profile picture to 'I miss you, mum' which is fine and all but god... I can't cope with feelings right now. I feel like my pills have just stopped working I guess. Also I think I know where my anger goes - to Jasper it seems. Well, he was in Karkat form today and he was so irritated. He really just wanted to punch things and stuff but he at least managed to keep himself calm.

I don't know if I'll journal from my mums but I'm taking my laptop so hopefully I will. At least we don't have to sleep on the floor lmao. I just hope she's gonna be patient with me and my pain and actually realize that I can't do all the things I used to. I really hope this trip is gonna be all 'ah I love my family and I'm sad to leave them again' rather than 'how am I related to this assholes' but we'll see.

In the least it's gonna be nice to see Marty and everyone else. I feel kinda bad that this will only be the second time I see him but it's not like it's our fault, my sister could visit us any time if she wanted.

Anyways, bed time. Night night.
