the importance of exposing onesself to society i have a second sister who totally loves fan fiction. that's all that she reads online, and she thinks it is the most important thing in the world. i have no problems with that, except that, at 26 and with two college degrees, that is what she does all day. and i have no qualms blogging about it because i think it is the most abnormal thing in the world. there is a whole world out there waiting to be explored, and she is wasting her youth away in front of a machine who will not love her. ;-) ah, the lovely irony available online. she who i was taught i should love unconditionally. i had wasted almost 30 years of my time with her. my poor mother, who is subjected to her existence in our house, because she is temporarily bedridden. i wish the beautiful wastrel of a sibling would dissolve into nothingness, she who is wrapped in her headphones and her abusive fan fiction - ON MY COMPUTER - she who cannot fathom a world outside of it, so i can continue with more important things in life.  ¶ 9/21/2005 06:17:00 PM
