He just called, he's in a car with my mother and the rest of the family and they're all on their way down to visit me. Once again I am my siblings' birthday gift.

If you don't see me for the rest of the weekend - it's because they showed up and took me away.

Yes, I am aware that my mother treats me as if I couldn't possibly have any plans of my own. I found out yesterday that they were thinking of coming down and the only thing that stopped them was the snow. I find out today that they're already on their way.

There are times I seriously wished I lived in California, simply because it's so far away.

I love my sibs. But I hate being 'the present', it wears me out.

Of course since I don't want to visit them for Christmas, I understand how my mother cannot go several months without crashing in on me, making judgement about the state of the house, and the state of me (whether I'm fatter, thinner, healthier, or looking stressed) and offering copious advice.

The fact that I'm stiff and in pain, btw, does not factor at all into them swarming down upon me.

Does it make sense to use my old journal for commenting in places on livejournal where people haven't moved / don't allow anonymous and thus openid comments?

Or does it make more sense to create a journal JUST for commenting that never updated any content.
