Awhile ago I tried to set up a time to talk to my brother regularly (a project I started this year with my two sisters and mom, met with a lot of success) and used the guise of "let's play a game together or something." After months of getting one positive reply but no follow through, and starting again a few weeks later with the same results, he finally said he couldn't possibly find a time once a month to play games. I said it's not about games it's about catching up, and it's really disappointing to me you don't have time for even an hour once a month to make that happen and he never replied. I was pissed, wrote it off as a failed experiment with him, whatever.

Fast forward to last night, I'm on the regular monthly call with one of my sisters and she mentions talking to my brother. Then cue to this morning, I wake up to empty my ostomy bag and in a sleepy haze the revelation strikes me like a lightning bolt: when the FUCK did this little rat have the time to talk to my sister? I went back to bed but couldn't fall back asleep thinking about how annoyed I am that he talked to her and not me. I realized it WAS her birthday last month, so that was probably it, but that mother fucker never calls me on my birthday, just texts, so what the fuck.

Despite being 3 hours ahead of my sister, I texted her at 7am since I wasn't falling back asleep anyway and said "wait, when did you talk to him?" Then I started drafting this post and thought "fuck this" and texted my BROTHER yet again and said "hey, dunno if my last email made sense, the whole point of the games was just to catch up and talk, not play games. So do you wanna schedule a time to just catch up and talk?" Again, 3 hour time difference, probably won't get a reply any time soon, or at all, but god these people are fucking annoying.

One time, years ago before I left mormonism, he told me was nervous to meet up with one of our cousins and her husband because they had left mormonism and he thought they were just going to go to dinner and talk shit about the religion. Even then I was like "that's kind of wild, like you'd have to be a major dickbag to invite someone you rarely see to dinner just to shit on something important to them. I don't think our cousin is that shitty of a person." I don't know if he ever went, but I suspect some similar logic might be in play. Also probably something like "we have nothing in common, what do we talk about" which bitch, that's why I suggested we use a video game as a crutch! But you said no, you couldn't possibly! Aye yi yi.

Anyway, why the fuck am I trying so hard, that's the real fucking mystery. I can't remember if I posted about the revelation that this is the guy that didn't vaccinate his four kids who have various health problems. Who fucking cares if I reestablish a relationship with this moron. Sigh.
