I sometimes think that I know too much about the perversions in fandoms.

Who else is not surprised that a fake-bloodied wristband is selling for so much!? Whumpers must be drooling over this.

I hate having my family live in the same city as me. I've had to change so much in the years since leaving home, and not just in the usual ways of growing up. It's been a long slow road but I'm actually feeling happy with myself and stuff. I don't feel the urge to be like my parents & blame unemployment on the location I live in & then use that as an excuse to piss off to some other city or country.

And this may be hard to believe but I'm a much more positive person now (possilbly not on here cos it's a journal and prolly somewhat theraputic but in real life I feel I've changed a lot).

But with my family in the same city as me I just feel so dragged down by them. I don't like any of them. They're not positive influences. Believe it or not I'm the ray if sunshine in the family.

My parents can never be happy and can never relax. Those are two things from living with them that I've inherited and I work hard at getting rid of those attitudes. But they're such downers to be around.

And it's worse now that my sister is living with them again. It always happens, the longer she lives with them the more like them she becomes. I knownut must suck a lot. But I see her every day at work so the more she acts like our parents the more depressing she is to be around.

My parents are hard to explain. On the surface the problems sound like most families. But when our friends have met our parents it always ends up with them saying "oh i see what you mean, they are odd".

You know how dysfunctional tv families act?? Well my parents cab be like that but at least on tv the people have redeeming qualities.

I liked my life more when they were in the UK.

Silly as this may sound I wonder if I have too little culturally in common with my patents. Just a thought.

Ironic how i said I'm postive and yet this post is depressive. But like i said, this is a journal...
