My younger brother and I haven't always been on the best of terms. He's a rude, anti-intellectual, raging homophobic (to the point where if he even sees any "of the queer" he lets out a muffled yell and flips the channel/crosses the street/averts his gaze), anti-semite with a huge entitlement complex that he has mostly because he makes a lot of money at the Ferrari repair shop he works at. The fact that I'm a liberal art student doesn't help matters either.
For years, my brother has been lording the fact that he makes more money than I do over me and constantly says, even in front of my art-school graduate father, how worthless my degree will be. It's as if the concept of me not caring how much money I make so long as I'm doing what I love is completely alien to him. I've been really trying to mend bridges with him for the past year and I decided I would go out and splurge a little bit on the christmas presents. I've never had much money so I made my family artwork this christmas, but in addition to that, I got my brother a nice and warm $80 jacket that he needed as well as the swiss army knife that he's been dropping hints at for months. He gave me a stained fleece that he wrote "fag" in bleach on and a key chain that he got free from work. After the present opening, his girlfriend comes up to me and says that I shouldn't use the key chain as a key chain. Apparently the one he gave her months before shattered after she tried to put some keys on it and cut her hand. Sorry to go all e/n but after all this time of us trying to be nicer to each other he just goes right back to not giving a poo poo. It kinda made this one of the worst christmases ever

I got a Hot Topic gift card from my parents for Hanukkah this year. If you didn't know, Hot Topic sells prefab punk and goth clothes for teens. I am almost thirty, have a professional academic job, and am very interested in fashion. None of these things have anything to do with Hot Topic.
Luckily, my 17-year-old cousin with the pink streak in his hair was there. I traded it to him for his Chick-fil-A gift card. Last year, my parents gave me a loaf of habanero cheddar bread and a box of specialty hot sauces. I'm allergic to capsaicin. It makes my throat close up and my skin break out in hives. They know this.

With the remark: "you must like it and wear it because it was horribly expensive". So good I am used to disappointment and faking happiness. But I am really sorry that good money was spent on something I find gross.

For Christmas my parents got me gloves, a pair of running shoes, a set of drums, a piano, a skateboard, a bicycle, 10 rock climbing lessons, a ladder, a hammer, a pair of scissors, and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. I have no arms or legs. They know this.

To be fair, though, the bleach was just trying to get the stains out of the fleece. Not my fault that I accidentally spilled red wine on it, coincidentally spelling out "fag".

ownage everywhere.
In fact, things are going great. She's loving, affectionate, and a beautiful girl. She got over the heartbreak of "officially" ending such a long relationship (our biggest initial problem). But there's one thing that just bothers the poo poo out of me. She has a bracelet that she's worn for the past three years with his name on it. He has a bracelet as well with her name on it. She insists that it's nothing more than a sign of friendship between them. Personally, I find it kind of insulting. The way I feel is that wearing another guy's name 24/7 tends to signify that this guy is "yours". That he's your significant other. When making out or getting intimate, the instant I look at that bracelet I lose all excitement and arousal. She says I'm simply insecure and that such a thing shouldn't bother me because she's clearly showing her dedication and love to me and me only.

Why is this? Because he frequently (as in almost every day) sits me down and explains things to me using a language and tone reserved for very slow children. For example, I have almost completely stopped cooking because I can't loving stand having someone hover over me in our very small galley kitchen and tell me "Oh, honey, stir the ghee THIS way" or "you should use THIS knife." I like cooking and am considered to be pretty good at it, so it's not like I'm some bumbling kid who thinks that cooking involves pressing "start" on the microwave. Or there's the time I had to change the oil in my car, and he patiently explained how to do it from step one...despite me telling him ten times that I had been changing my oil for years and knew perfectly well how to do it. Or the time I was at a store and found a vintage record player. He called while I was testing it, I told him what I was doing, and he told me to sit tight and wait for him to get there because lord knows I'm so dense I couldn't plug in an appliance and test it myself. He doesn't even own any records.
