It's sort of funny how the minute one part of my life starts looking good and looks like it's shaping up, the other part goes straight to the gutter. There's no winning at all. I can't ask for both. If I have one, I can kiss the other good-bye. I hate it.

And just a quick question. How come all the real families on tv and in film show despise for in-laws? Do you get it? It's as if that's the only way to go on living. You get married or anything, and you move far far away from your parents. Pretty much elope. That's how it should have been in the first place.
