My mom suddenly thinks that I need to be betrothed but has yet to tell me how I might go about finding a "suitor". Personally, I have always thought that all men were pigs. I mean, my uncle never did anything to disprove it and my dad, well, let us just say he is hardly here at all and wants nothing to do with me. And I thought that was great…Until my mother brought up marriage.
If he actually felt anything for me, he'd tell her that marriage was stupid and that if he had had a choice, he wouldn't have married ever. My whole life has consisted of tutors flirting with my mom; mom flirting with tutors; dad having affairs with the maids; mom having affairs with my many tennis instructors; and so on.
As you can see, no one in my whole family has very good marital status and yet my mom deems it necessary that I get married, even when our family is obviously cursed. Especially since she'd always come home after some big dinner party with dad and she'd always tell me to never, no matter what, get married. So what made her mind change now...? What's so different...?
I don't know but she might just be on her crack pills again, as I like to call them. They're supposed to help her mental state become better, but if you ask me, they're only making it worse. Plus, this isn't medieval times anymore! This is the twenty first century for crying out loud! I mean, don't I get a say in my own future? Wait, stupid question, of course I don't. Why must I –
"Anneliese, are you ready?", If you speak of the devil she shall come. "I'm going to take you down in the courtyard so you may socialize with potential suitors." AGGGHH! Why won't you just LEAVE me alone!
"Okay mother.", Looks like it's time to face the impending doom that is my life going down the drain. You see, I have always dreamed of traveling the world, making a small design business the most trusted name in the world, writing a book, and doing everything. But how in the world am I supposed to do that married to a psychotic rich man destined to be the next Hitler, yet he won't get quite to that point, he'll die of stress.
