   Pay no attention to me.
I'm just complaining about nothing. Life's a bitch and then you die. My life's not even that bad compared to most people. Besides, I don't let what anyone says, including Laura, phase me anymore. I'm pretty mean to her nowadays anyway. But if that's not satisfying enough for you, sit back whilst I tell you a story.........
Way back when, when John Q was in the theaters, Laura, myself, our sister Leigh, our cousins Cassie and Chris, and Cassie's boyfriend Tony decided to go see it. The movie was good and we all had a good time. When it got out it was about 11 o'clock at night and our van was pretty much the only vehicle in the parking lot. Leigh had the keys and, thinking she was funny, ran ahead of us and locked us all out of the van. I was amused, after all, we weren't in a hurry and it was only sprinkling. In my eyes she was just being silly. Well, Laura was not happy. She started screaming at Leigh to open the door as the rest of us laughed and Leigh made faces at her. Not even two minutes later Leigh opened the door and all Hell broke loose. Laura jumped into the van and went completely psychotic and started beating the shit out of Leigh with the huge pointy umbrella she was carrying. This was going on in the middle seat. Cassie told Laura to stop and after a few more whacks, she did. By that time of course Leigh was bawling her eyes out. So Chris and I got in the back of the van and I started screaming, "What the fuck crawled up your ass and died?" Laura told me to shut the fuck up. I said "What if I don't? What are you gonna do, hit me with that fucking umbrella too?"
And sure enough, in a flash she whipped around and swung the umbrella like a baseball bat and slammed it against the side of my head. For the first time I actually fought back and didn't just sit there and take it. I immediately jumped over the seat, landed on her, and proceeded to kick her ass. I just kept punching her and couldn't seem to stop. Well, Chris pulled and Tony pushed so they eventually managed to get me off of her and then Cassie came around and triumphantly took the umbrella. It took me a second to notice that my nose hurt because she had punched me in the face and I was also getting a headache. But still I couldn't help but smile.....so you can just imagine the look Chris was giving me as I sat there smiling while Laura and Leigh cried. All in all I'd say it was a pretty good day.
