For her majesty's secret service

gemfyreGee my family infuriates me sometimes.
My sister's 30th birthday party was last night. The invite was only to me so Matt and I decided we should be polite and ask if he should go. Now, for some reason Shell (my sister) dislikes Matt because apparently sometime he yelled at me or some shit (hey not like I don't yell back, it can't have been anything major because I don't remember, and like she and her hubby are perfect). She said no, she'd rather he didn't come. How fucking rude.
So I went to the party. EVERYONE else there had their significant other, some even asked where Matt was to which I just replied "Ask Shell." in a mumble. I just sat in the loungeroom and watched the James Bond movie, bored out of my brain because these were all my sister's friends, not my friends, and for some reason I had been singled out to not have someone there to keep me company.
Why the fuck, after almost FIVE YEARS is Matt still treated as an outsider. All the previous girlfriends/boyfriends of my siblings have been accepted but Matt gets no end of the "Oh he's so loud and annoying." "When will he get a job?" "He treats you terribly you know?" Yeah well you try doing nice things for each other when you're both poor students. Bloody hell. It really pisses me off.
I am so NOTHING like the rest of my family. I vaguely resemble my brother if anything but we still differ in some aspects. Most of my family and their friends are all narrow minded right-wingish types that went straight into the workforce and started families. Me on the other hand, I decided to learn a bit more, get a few qualifications behind me, have FUN and not even THINK about kids for many years yet. And because of that my family and I seem like different entities.
Gah, it pisses me off.
