Mum, Dad, Travis, Krista, Rick - the whole kit and kaboodle - are pissed off at me right now. They have been for a couple of days. This morning is a little better though so maybe it's over...
It's all Debra's fault!!! :P Readers will recall Debra from "An Incident at the Dog Park". She is Mum's psycho hose beast cousin. Anyways, 2 days ago, Debra wanted someone to accompany her to the shops for a second opinion on some ugly ass kitchen ware. No one else wanted to go, but Dad suggested I go just to get out of the house. Not knowing how bad it was going to go, I agreed to "take one" for the family! ;) Debra picked me up at the farm, and we drove into town. After browsing the kitchen ware for what seemed like an eternity (man it was fugly, and I don't care about kitchen stuff), and listening to Debra's insane nonstop gabbing, it was lunchtime so we headed to the food court.
I was wearing a toque (a wool hat) and it was hot and itchy on my scalp (I am bald) so I decided to take it off. I'm not shy about people seeing I am bald, it's more just a question of my head being cold. Anyways. So Debra spoke (ooh big surprise there...). Here is the conversation that followed:
Debra: "Oh Evie, don't take your hat off, it's embarrassing!"
WTF???
Evie: "What, are you embarrassed to be seen with me??"
Debra: "Well yes... and it just doesn't look nice, people are eating and I don't want to lose my appetite. You should have worn your wig, that is so much nicer."
OMG....
Evie: MAYBE I'M EMBARRASSED TO BE SEEN WITH A FAT PIG LIKE YOU!! (Debra is about 100 lbs overweight... I really don't care about people's weight but it was the only insult I could think of at the time.)
I said it loud enough that a bunch of people in the food court heard us and were staring. I walked off then, leaving Debra standing there looking deer-in-headlights stunned.
I was really upset and hurt. In my bad mood I decided to walk home. We live 20 km from the shops lol. But at the time I didn't care, I just wanted to walk and walk. So, I started walking home on the highway. This being Newfoundland of course it started pouring rain, and all I was wearing was jeans and a hooded sweatshirt. It was only 2 C outside, I got completely soaked and it was FREEZING! I had my mobile with me, and for the life of me I don't know why I didn't just ring Dad to come collect me. I walked 5 km before Dad showed up in the truck. I guess Debra had rung the house, blubbing. Dad was SUPER pissed off at me!! Not for what I said to Debra, but for walking on the highway in the rain. It's true, it was very silly, I could have passed out or worse. Got back home, Mum was pissed at me too. After I warmed up and ate some hot soup, I had to listen to a lecture that lasted about 20 minutes!! Blah. I don't blame them for being upset... just when I feel hurt or angry like that I don't always have the best judgement... I had the urge to walk and it was overwhelming!!
The unfortunate thing about being the member of a large family, everyone gives you shit individually. First I caught it from Mum and Dad, then Travis and Krista over the phone, then Rick... I'm sure Scott, Auntie Brenda and Uncle Patrick will be next... maybe even Angela too... bleah...
My one consolation though... stupid whiney ass Debra has been ringing the house, crying and wanting an apology from ME! OMG talk about cheek!! But Dad got on the phone with her, told her she was a TWIT LOL and to get over herself. They are pissed at her too, for what she said to me, and also for just letting me run off on the highway. She had her car so she could have followed me or rung the farm right away, but she just went home and actually waited an hour before telling them!!
It might seem like my family is being mean for staying pissed at me for 2 days, but I think I'm making things worse for myself, because as of yesterday, I have no earthly idea why, but this whole thing suddenly strikes me as funny. I have been laughing at myself. Like OMG I was so silly to walk off like that. I keep giggling about it and Mum and Dad are not amused!!
Anyways I used to really like eating dog biscuits when I was little, maybe I can get used to them again! ;)
