We played a game...

The other night, we played a game, the three of us.
At Boston Pizza. Me, my brother Chris, and my sister Jamie. I came up with it.
''Name something you hate about each other'' game.

I told Chris that I hated how he is always so cocky, especially when he shouldn't be. His pride and cockiness gets him deeper into trouble, especially in situations like emotions that require tact and subtlety to manage.
I also told him I hate how he has utter disdain and lack of respect for authoritive figures, especially those figures who seem to constantly make mistakes and go against Chris' goals. Including the two 'moms'.
Chris told me he doesn't really hate anything at all about me. I may have pissed him off many times in the past, and he was royally mad as a brother, but in reality I seem to have nothing worthwhile for him to mae him hate me.
I guess I was a little disappointed in his answer. I wanted him to hate me for a reason. Guess he either cares too much for me, or he doesn't care at all.

Jamie... It was hard to say anything at all involving 'I hate you' to her, 'cause I really don't have anything resembling hate for her at all, but I told her that I hated some things about her. I told her that I hated how she stays so secretive about her emotions, and how she rarely ever opens up, even for people as close to her as me and her closest brother Chris. I also hate how we all watch and know how she struggles alone, and she has so much pride and fear in her that she doesn't ever want to ask anyone for help. I told her that she could eventually reach all of her dreams, but doing it alone would be harder. A lifetime of obstacles and delays in reaching her dreams could leave her at the point that whenever she realizes them, she would maybe no longer care that she could do them or not.
She said a few things that she hates about me. She hates how I lack confidence and courage. She also hates how I let my depressions consume me. Hey, I hate them too, lady. It's just a part of who I am unfortunately.

Those two did not say to each other what they hate about each other. I would imagine that they're pretty much the same things I stated earlier. I'm fortunate to be so close with Chris and Jamie about their feelings. One of the best things in my life is them considering me to be a good friend AND a brother. I love them both. I really, truly do, and I'm glad that although my life has been through a whole lot of wierd twists and turns, that I was able to meet up with them.

Chris is exactly the kind of guy of whom I'm not. He's brash, cocky, and full of pride and energy. He's a natural manipulator and a womanizer. However, lately, he's been settling down and maturing a little.
Did you know he works in a high-end fashion shop? Yup, he sells clothes to the town, making a flat hourly rate plus a commision on whatever he sells. On top of that, he gets a %50 discount on whatever he buys there.
However, for all our personality differences, we also have many areas in which we are the same. He likes the same things I like, he also has his secret personality, a quiet and reserved personality, nearly identical to mine. Him and I get along very well, for some reason.

Oops, gotta cut the blog short tonight. I could go on and on about Chris and Jamie, but unfortunately, I have to follow a schedule like a normal person and go to bed tonight.
Night folks. Sorry for the short update. ^_^
