As said above, this is a rant, so if you don't want to hear me bitch, click out. You have been warned.

Okay, so my brother is getting on a dating site because...because he wants to. I think it is silly, but whatever floats his boat, and I can kind of see why he would want to be on one.

I'm sure you're all thinking "what's wrong with that? Why would you be so mad?"

Well, because apparently, he is incapable of setting up his own Zoosk account. My mom did not want to do it, so I agreed to do it in return for her taking me to a movie today (I saw "Tangled", it was awesome). I started to explain to my brother that we might not be able to do it today if we were going to see a movie, since we would get home late, and he flipped out on me, being a complete asshole. Really? Fuck him, he can do it himself if he's going to act like a child. I mean, he seriously threw a temper tantrum and got all pissy with me, announcing he had things to do tomorrow.

He did not even apologize.

Long story short, I ended up doing it anyway because my mom asked me. So we go through the process, blah, blah, blah, and I skipped a few parts because we needed to leave to make it to the movies. I told him I'd finish it with him later.

I feel I should explain why my brother has decided he is an infant that needs to be coddled and have everything done for him--he's dyslexic, so he was trying to make a good impression and not spell a whole bunch of stuff wrong, which I kind of understand, but still...really?

Anyway, so we get home, I open the computer, and we start going over the part I skipped. Now, for those who don't know anything about Zoosk, there is a part in it called "Icebreakers", and it has, like, fifty questions (obviously you do not have to answer them all or anything). So I start scrolling through them, looking for good ones.

"What Would You Cook Your Date For Dinner" pops up, and I keep scrolling. Well, my brother more or less snaps at me about it, and tells me he wants me to write "French Onion Soup". I said no, he could do that himself, I was trying to find ones that involved a lot of writing. He, of course, got snotty with me again, and I snapped at him back. His excuse was he did not know how to spell "onion". I'm sure he can figure out how to spell a five letter word, and if he completely failed, then he could always ask someone, but I am not going to write it down for him like he's a half-brain dead fish.

He kept being a dick to me, despite the fact I did not have to help him AT ALL with this, and he should be grateful, not an asshole. Long story short, I told him to shut his mouth or I was not going to help him anymore.

So, here am I, no longer helping my brother because he's a two year old, and wanting to push him down the stairs because he had the audacity to tell me I was being a brat!

What also pissed me off was my mother texting me, telling me to help him or she was going to take the computer away. Really, mom? Tell him to bite is god damn tongue when someone is helping him. I finished my job, the damned account is made (despite my brother trying to argue otherwise, seeing as he is an idiot and thinks since we did not fill every little thing out, it obviously did not save).

The fact that I am also dealing with other personal issues is not helping, either, and the fact my mom is under the illusion that, just because I act apathetic about it, it is not really bothering me. It is, but she is upset enough as it is, and I don't want to make matters worse by letting her know how much it really is upsetting me--I am trying to me a supportive daughter. I was even going around the house and being stupid today to cheer her up. So yes, mother, I love you, but I can't deal with your son because he's a prick. I'm sorry, I know you did your best, but he was destined to be a prick, and he will always be on. Stop fooling yourself. I still love him because he is my brother, and that won't change (well, unless he becomes, like, a baby rapist or something, because that's not cool).

I have some solace in knowing my dad agrees with my decision, so I'm not actually a horrible, mean, bitch of a sister.

Hm, sounds like a very frustrating situation to be in. And to be honest, I would have told my brother to get stuffed if he started to use his mouth in a less than complimentary fashion. How ungrateful can a person be? Anyway, it's good that you're not giving him what he wants just because he demands it, and I don't think your mother is helping by letting him be rude.
Trying to date on misconceptions (i.e. pretending to be... lexical? If that is the word for it) only bases the very start of the relationship on a façade, which can't help anyone.
But oh well, just tossing ideas in the barrel. :P
So my signature broke...

I know, but he'll whine, piss, and moan if we don't help him, and it makes my mom feel guilty because, well I'm not entirely sure, but it does. I know he also wanted help because he claims to be "internet retarded", and while he is retarded (I don't mean to offend anyone--I actually love retarded people, like mentally retarded, they're awesome, but I am using it in a negative way because he's almost like one of those people they call retarded, but they are really just slow, and are complete assholes), even someone like him could figure out how the site worked. And yeah, I really don't understand why we had to help him.

Anyway, what was really messed up is a guess the "Icebreakers" were just questions someone could ask him, and you did not even have to write anything. He kept coming into my room and talking like we were best buddies or something, and I kept telling him I did not care and kicking him out--he eventually apologized, but only after dad talked to him, but at least he apologized...even if I can't totally forgive him since this is not exactly a first occurrence. It's like, since he has gotten a job it has given him a "be an ass without consequences" free card, or at least he thinks so. His excuses when he snips? "I'm tired, I had to work all day! BLAH, WHINE, BLAH, MOAN, BLAH, POOR ME!" And I'm always like "I don't give a shit, get the stick out of your ass and shut up." And then my mom wonders why I'm so mean to him, and then I explain that he is a prick, and she gets all quiet because she knows it is true but does not want to accept it, even though she helps enable his prick-ish behavior.

Erm, sorry, I did not mean for that to turn into another rant, it just kind of happened...
