All in the Family
I hop onto IM last night and immediately receive this message from my baby brother (he's 23):
"Sweet baby jeebus, I did not want to see that! Gah! *scrubs eyes*"
Then I realize that my user icon is a picture of myself stragetically and tastefully posed yet very obviously bare as the day I was born. There is a story about how I ended up nekkid on my own IM profile, but I'm not going to tell you about it, so there. The point is that I was naked and my baby brother saw it, poor kid.
To show him I am really and truly sorry about this Incident of Which We Will Never Again Speak, I promised to do whatever is in my power to shield him from the Grossest Picture Ever, which made the rounds on the internets several months ago. If you've seen it, you'll know you've seen it; if you haven't, trust me on this and don't ask. It's gross gross gross.
In acceptance of my apology and to prove that things were okay between us, he sent me a link to ratemypoo.com and kept interrupting our conversation with lines like "still...ew" and "it burns!" and "I'm blogging this." Oh, we are so related.
In other news, today is my mom's birthday and because this year is the year of I Am a Horrible and Irresponsible Person, I do not have a gift for her or even a card. What I do have is the opportunity to treat her and my dad (whose birthday is on Saturday) to a fancy dinner or a gondola ride in Venice, and that's better than the Big Expensive NOTHING that my brother will be giving them. "At least I'm consistent," says the snarky little bastard. Yes, at least there's that. Man, I love that kid.
SHOW THE PICTURE
Down, boy.
Is it the picture of Chynna? Because that IS the most horrible vision ever and I have tried to scrub my brain with a brillo pad and it is still stuck in there.
i think its that one of that one thing that makes my stomach turn and my eyes bleed when i look at it.
well, ok, it's one of two.
there's one with a man and there's one with a woman.
gro-dy.
i must live in an igloo, b/c i don't know what yer talkin' 'bout. willis.
I've seen it. My eyes! My eyes!
I haven't however seen naked Leah. Not that I'm asking or anything. It was just a comment.
Angie: It's the one with the woman. I was told the one with the guy was equal in grossness and I have gone to great lengths to avoid it. So very gross. *shudder*
For the record, let me be clear that the naked picture of me is only gross if you're my baby brother. Otherwise, it's not bad.
Im with my soulmate Will concerning the showing of a little skin. Show the picture.
Will and I may be mortal enemies (nemeses, if you will), but we are in perfect agreement on this.
Jeannie I will lay my dislike of you and your family aside in order reach a common goal.
you dislike my family? you dont' even KNOW my fuckin' family! this is war, mutha-fukka.
Oh, wait, you might know my sister. never mind.
