bye bye big brother.

while you were packing i thought about all the little things i'd miss about you.

i'll miss the way you moaned and told me to "f*** off, b***h" whenever i hugged you. i'll miss the way you made me nauseous everytime i sat in your car. i'll miss the way you ordered everyone to get you a drink and tried to cuff them on the head when they wouldn't. i'll miss the way you listen to abominably loud music in your car and tried to sing along although the volume made you so deaf that it was impossible to keep in tune. i'll miss the way you would sneak into my room at two am and irritate jolene by trying to wake her up. i'll miss the way you shouted at joash to do push-ups and then once he was down, grin so widely everybody knew you took perverse pleasure from it. i'll miss the way i always smelt you before i saw you. heh. i'll miss the way you always tried to defend us from the parentals when we were being scolded, and how you inevitably ended up caught in the crossfire. i'll miss the way you love to rub your four As in our poor, less intelligent faces. i'll miss the way you insisted on sitting in the front seat ever since you were eight. i'll miss the way you always tried to act like you were so much older and so much more mature than us, even though you yourself didn't really know what you were talking about. i'll miss the way you cracked jokes that were nowhere near funny, but somehow seemed hilarious because of your straight face as you told them.

but most of all, i'll miss your unapologetically abject stupidity. it made us all laugh.

bye bro. take care of yourself. i love you.
