Hi all...I'm a new poster on the board. I am 17 and CF for LIFE. I live in Florida and have a younger sister "Michi" who is starting to share my beliefs.
Anyway, my mom and dad got a call. My dad's sister "Rondi" is coming down for Christmas hols with her two girls, "Bethany" and "Dannika". Well, this makes me go "oh crap" for a few reasons:
1) "Dannika" is an annoying 13-year-old. I had to visit them this summer and sleep on the hide-a-bed with "Dannika". If I rolled even a millimeter onto HER space, she would elbow me--HARD--right where it hurts. She also screams at me if I change the channel from Disney or High School Musical. "Bethany" is wonderful, and "Michi" and I love her. But "Dannika"--uh-uh.
2) I'm going to have to buy christmas presents for 3 more people. I am normally a very generous girl, but don't you think my aunt in the hospital deserves a porcelain doll more than an ungrateful 13-year-old brat?
3) "Michi" and I are going to have to give up our room. "Dannika" can run up a phone bill--she's gonna want to call all her damn cross-country team friends, get on my computer and (hopefully NOT) stumble across my "for 16-and-up" websites (!ygallery, aff and MMSA), and generally trash our room. I am keeping my Nintendo DS Lite, though, and hiding it well so "Michi" and I can have SOMETHING to keep us from being bored...
4) My parents are going to force us to entertain "Dannika", "Rondi" and "Bethany". Listen, just because "Michi" can play a damn good violin and I can play the piano doesn't mean we have to be trained poodles for "the guests"...
Please wish me and "Michi" luck, you guys...I'm worried that this is going to be "holiday hell". I'm not trying to be selfish about anything, but I'm just worried...
