I am sitting at my in laws right now and the amount of idiots here could fill Memorial Stadium. I am currently stabbing myself slowly, while twisting a fork in my eye and while at the same time lighthing M-80's off in my ear as everyone plays "Outburst" upstairs.

These people actually believe they are funny. Out of 15 or so, onr has a sense of humor, the others just yell with awkward silences after them while the others try to figure out the joke. My wife refuses to leave until everyone is gone which could go into 11pm or so. I've been trying to get drunk, but everytime I finish I hestitate and gasp at the thought of having to go upstairs to refill the drink at the thought of having to look at these idiots and field their idiotic questions and pestering about why I'm "to good" for them and why I'm hiding in the basement. I just nod, pour my drink, and bolt it down the stairs.

I need help. This sucks in the worst way. We couldn't watch football because it was "time to talk" and "catch up on thigs" time. I cried. When we open gifts we sit in a circle and open them one by one and them talk about the gift and all the ways it can be useful or how nice it is. Something that shouldn't take more than 15 minutes or so goes on for two hours. I'm not ungrateful, but I'd rather not get anything than go through this.

I hate life

 
dOOd,

I truly hope you are being facetious. If not then a reeval of your current situation and mental state is in order. Giving counseling over the net is not a great solution. Hope your status improves before Wednesday.

GBR
