my sister who has made it clear that she still is and always will be my sister has annoying friends. i make no effort to relate to these people; not even pleasantries. i forgive myself this rudeness. they are all cropped sweaters and fake burberry handbags and dismissive. they interrupt, even each other. they talk in quiet shops, loudly, on mobile phones. given the energy and the will to be boastful, egomaniacal, i'd say the other night while drunk in bed i argued about china's social structure and economic future; when was the last time you had such a conversation?
