featherynscaleMy little sister is getting married.
Will be taking "welcome to maiden aunthood" notices at any time. Jeebus.
Not only that, but she's marrying some guy I've never met or heard of. He's a Navy guy.
Meh.
In case anybody wonders why I don't check my voicemail, this is why. If you don't actually get me on the phone, you should not have the right to dump things like this on me.
EDIT: This bothers me on several levels. One is, of course, that my little sister is doing major "normal life" milestones before I do - I had a similar "throw up the white flag" reactions to the fact that she owns her own house and the fact that she has decided what to do with her life and is currently in a pre-vet program in college. She's 20 (I think) for gods' sake. Not that this should surprise me, since I've never really been on the "normal life" path (not for long, or seriously, anyway). Still, conditioning is a bitch. Even though we're running completely different races, I still sort of feel like not only am I behind her, but she's lapped me. My father is, of course, inordinately proud of her. She's everything his daughter should be. Hell, he bought her the house.
The other thing that bothers me is that I haven't really ever been there for my sisters. Not only do I not know the fiance, I didn't even know she was dating anybody. I can't even make a statement with mortal certainty about how old she is. And this is the sister I speak to *more* often. I don't even know where my other sister is living, or what she's doing at all.
I suck at having family. I repeat, meh.
