Family friend situations are so awkward! Do you just sit there going nuts because you could easily be doing something better. Thinking about the sodium levels in that soy sauce.
After skimming through some Bret Easton Ellis books I've become really cynical towards society in general. I got interested because it sounded very existentialist and deep and 'hell is other people' jean-paul satre, and I'm secretly into that stuff? Who knows. His books are about these washed up people who don't do anything but drink absinthe. Then they die because the world became too intense for them. Half the time you don't even know if the narrating is true because everyone is getting high off something. The dude in american psycho starts hallucinating about ATMs demanding it be fed a cat, like something out of a really bad commercial.
I have this horrible habit of forming an opinion about people I don't know. I took one look at the author picture of Bret Easton Ellis, and I immediately realised that I hated the guy. He looks like one of those annoying people with a nasally voice who only brings cheap wine to gatherings and doesn't believe in christmas. And never lets it go cos he thinks he's this mad philosopher who's into war and peace and pretending to be Ghandi.
