Ah yes... Now anyone that knows me on this site has realized that I haven't been online for awhile and there are reasons for that. But for Christmas I had to go to North Carolina with my mother to go see my grandma who was getting ready for surgery because of a tumor growing near or on her heart. I don't recall the actual location of the tumor but I knew it was near her heart. But that isn't the issue I am here to rant about. ( And my grandma is doing fine if anyone wanted to know )

The problem is with my Aunt and her daughter aka my cousin. Now I don't have a good relationship with my family outside of my Mom, dad, and my sister. Hell I can't even remember most of their names other then my grandma's. So seeing them was a bit of an issue for me. Even more so when my Aunt kept asking me what I had gotten my cousin for Christmas. I told her a few times that it wasn't the right time to ask that because most of the times she asked we had just left the hospital. But one day she asked and I snapped at her telling her that I have not once received a single gift from either her nor my cousin which is true. She went on to say things like it is better to give then to receive and some other things about god... Now if you have ever had a conversation about god with an atheist you'd know how pointless it is to threaten them with god.

Now these arguments went on and on and I was pretty adamant about not getting either of them a gift because of... Well I'm stubborn like that. One day though I decided to play my Legend of Zelda edition 3DS which I had just bought a week before going to North Carolina, but it was missing. I looked around for it and asked if anyone had seen it. My uncle told me that he saw his wife ( my aunt ) give his daughter ( my cousin ) a leather case which I had my 3DS in. After an hour trying to bloody find my cousin I found her and she gave me my case back with my 3DS. ALTHOUGH she had utterly failed to mention that she had broken the top screen~! I confronted her about breaking my 3DS and demanded she give me 220$ to replace it. She on the other hand brought her mother ( my aunt ) into the argument. Words were exchanged and before they walked away my aunt said that this should just count as my cousin's Christmas present and that we should just drop the subject... I was ready to lay into both of them but my mom was getting upset about the whole thing so I decided it would be best to not pursue the matter with her around.

Later on my Uncle gave me the money and apologized for what happened. I ended up refusing the money on principles that it was my aunt and cousin that owed me the money and the apology not him.

Later on I went out and luckily found another LoZ edition 3DS and bought it. Though I have yet to get a single apology from my Aunt and cousin... I doubt I ever will.
