GUYS MY ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE SUPERNATURAL CONVENTION DVD ARRIVED TODAY. I NOW GET TO RELIVE MISHA BEING AWESOME IN AUSTRALIA. AND EXTRA INTERVIEWS. I AM EXCITED.

Edit: I have a question. To people other than fans use the term 'canon'? Like, as in a show's canon? Because if not, then I will be 100% convinced Misha Collins is very well versed in fandom. Heck, during the convention he even used the word fandom.

I AM NOW GOING TO RANT ABOUT RL. 

I am forever stupefied at my older sister. I am hesitant to call her a bitch, because a lot of the time she isn't, in fact, she is quite kind when she wants to be. I also can't call her stupid, because she isn't. So what has me stupefied, is that very often she gets into what my family calls "Luanne's Special World" where no one exists but her, and she is literally unable to view the world from anyone's point of view but her own. And you can imagine that this causes stress for all involved - why wouldn't we give her the spare bedroom to use solely as a room for her to put her cupboards and boxes in so that her own bedroom was not cluttered? And why shouldn't her sisters go online and sit on ebay for her while she is at work and they are at home obviously doing nothing because what can they possibly have to do. Or book her flight tickets interstate. Or do research for her. Or use up all their computer ink printing her things because she "doesnt need a printer at home". It's her family, obviously we should be absolutely willing to do whatever she requires, when she demands it and not argue about it. I'm actually quite convinced that's how she views "family".

The latest installment in this saga occurred a few days ago.
( Read if you have some spare time, then give me your opinions. Did I act rashly? Am I being stupid? )

You know, had she even thought about me in all of this, and said "I realise you will be a bit put out money wise, because you don' thave a real job (heh), so I don't mind giving you petrol money (which I wouldn't accept anyway)" or "I realise two weeks is a long time, so if you are able to housesit for me for one week, and I will put my cat in a cattery for the other week, or find one of my many friends to housesit" then I would have been appeased and forgotten about how mad I was that she didn't think to give me details or double check with me.

The sad thing is, I feel guilty about it. I mean, I am ridiculously ANGRY because she has turned it around that I am rude and horrible and adding stress to her life and such a bitch because I don't wnat to housesit for 2 weeks and then she sends me SMS's like
    Don't give me attitude Lauren. Your life must be pretty sad if housesitting for me is going to 'fuck up' your life. I wouldn't want to 'fuck up'    your poor life so just forget about it. I don't need this shit from you and I'll remember never to rely on you again.

This SMS came after I sent her a message telling her that I would do it, only because I (apparently) said I would, but she should have at least have had the courtesy to double check with me before now, because two weeks was a huge inconvenience on me. While I may admit my message to her was abrupt, she didn't even have the decency to phone me about it, rather send an SMS. So she got a rude response. I feel a little guilty over that. BUT. I am just so overwhelmingly angry.


HA - the saddest thing is she will 'remember never to rely on me again' only until the next time she needs a favour, and next time I refuse because she is being a giant asshole to me, once again we will go through this saga.
