i realized today how much my social skills have deteriorated. when the other party says something i don’t particularly like, i respond with biting sarcasm that endures throughout the entire evening.

much like tonight, when a guy i was introduced to through a family friend mentioned on more than one occasion that my young sister and i look like twins. (i have gotten this comment since she was born, so you can imagine just how irritating it is to hear it thrice in one sitting.) he also mentioned how young i look, hinting that i couldn’t be more than sixteen. (i have also heard this comment many times, usually when i am not wearing any make-up, which is often.) i wouldn’t let it go — i fought fire with fire, annoyance with annoyance.

at any rate, i think i made another enemy today.
