get along with my brother

called me this morning, in tears. I still don’t have any idea why he was crying. He asked for our mom’s work number, and wouldn’t tell me what was going on. I was so worried, I couldn’t think. He said it wasn’t anything horrible, but he couldn’t talk about it right then. I texted him later to see if he got ahold of her, and he said no, that he was going to call her later. I asked if he was okay, and he said that he was physically fine. I asked if it was his girlfriend, that was she okay, or did she hurt him, and he wouldn’t explain, but said he’d call me later after work, cause he was at work at the moment. He then proceded to ask when our dad’s birthday was, lol! It was the third. I just happened to talk to our dad yesterday, and he said he had never heard from him. We figured he had been busy, and just forgot to call. No biggy. So, now I am waiting on a phone call to see what is going on. I am so worried for him. I don’t know what’s going on. The fact that he wanted to call our mom at work, when he wasn’t physically hurt, just makes me wonder. He didn’t actually call her, but still….I don’t know. He was in tears on the phone. Something was terribly wrong for him to call me, of all people. Yes, we are getting along better than we have in a very very long time, but still, he doesn’t usually call me. Just strange…..I’m not so much worried now, knowing that he isn’t physically hurt, but still worried over his mental state. I was to a point of going to town, getting our car, and telling my husband he’ll have to find another way to work, and home, cause I was going to drive the 10 hours to his house to get him if need be. I don’t know….just a worried twin sister…...

i love my brother <3

me and my brother are getting along more even though i’ve only been changing my ways for a couple of days now, but i can see it ^^ and it makes things more easier haha.

i have more patience now and when times get ppretty annoying i hold my breath and just keep it in.

again, he paid for our bar tab at the bar the other night during our highschool reunion. That was very thoughtfull, but he didn’t need to do that. we had a lot of fun, talking with classmates, and each other, and told each other some of our goals for the future, which was nice. I’m so glad we are getting along so much better now! I just hope it stays that way. He really wants us to come for a visit one of these days. If we could afford it, and hadn’t decided on reno instead of seattle for our anniversary, then I would be there in a heartbeat, but oh well. We already promised our friends we would be there. Good luck!

we haven’t talked since that weekend. But, I talked to my grandma today, and she was so happy to hear that we are getting along again. I know my dad is too. I’m sure the whole family is happy about it. I just wish we could spend more time together. It would be nice. I was going to get the same service provider that he has, cell phone, but the people who run it here, are incompetent. So we stayed with our provider, cause well, they know what they are doing, are good to us, know us by name and face, and give us good service too. It’s a bummer, but I will be texting him from time to time, or call him soon. I hope he makes it down tomorrow for the party. But I seriously doubt it. I tried to talk him into it. We’ll see. It would kick some ass if he makes it though. I wish we had the money to travel up there, and the time too. He offered to pay for a hotel for us. Just the gas, don’t have the money for it, it’s a 8-10 hour trip too, and I don’t know if it would be longer, with the girls or not. I know it’s usually around 6 hours to portland, and only 2 hours north to seattle, but if we were to go there, I don’t know if he really would spend time with us or not. I guess I should really try to trust that he would. He says he misses us too. One day, we’ll spend time together. one day.

my brother, what can i say. he’s growing up? more mature, completely? he shocked me this morning, by hiding money in my camera case. i didn’t find out about it, till he texted me on my cell phone to check it, and to use it for the yard and whatever we need. My husband lost all of his overtime, which for us, is a staple to do things with that we want to do. it was unasked for, he knew we were kind of floating on no money to finish the yard, and also knew that i’m wanting to get the yard up and going. I’m so stoked! I know that money is not a way to show love, but he seriously showed me some today, by surprising me like that. Well, have a great day everyone!

It’s our birthday on friday, and I am not going to call him. We are twins. Anyways, I am tired of being the one to call him, usually I don’t get ahold of him, and just leave a message, or if i do get ahold of him, he’s too busy to talk. He does work a lot, but still, he can’t call back when he’s not busy? He says he will, but he never does. So this year, I am not going to call him. If he wants to call and say hi, and talk, then sure, I’ll talk, but I am not going out of my way again, just to get bummed out. Too bad for us, but too bad for him more. I’ve put up with his crap for too long, and am tired of it. I am not the only one who doesn’t hear from him either. But he still expects stuff from our family members like money and gifts. I told our dad today, that no one should send him anything anymore. If they don’t hear from him, then why should they send him things. It’s like he’s getting things for free. It’s stupid. So, who knows what will go on. That’s between him and the family. I do pretty good keeping in touch with family. I care about my family and show them that. He seems to not want family contact, and the family is starting to realize that, and we all don’t understand it. Just odd.

i have this twin brother. I guess when we were really little we used to be best friends. When my parents moved us to this area that I still live in, my parents decided to put us in different classes so that we would start making more friends. Well, it somewhat backfired. We grew soooo apart, that we always fight. We hear about each other, I don’t even know if he hears about anything to do with me, but I hear about him from my parents, and other family members. I think I embarrass him. I am naive and say what’s on my mind to a certain extent. I am more into drama, not as much as some people I know, but I am a nosy person. I just care too much, and love to know personal things about people, and share things with others. I am trustworthy, I know from what I just said it doesn’t sound like it, but I am. I think I live a boring life and so I feel the need to fill the void with other peoples problems, happiness, and etc. He sees this as a fault, and it can or could be, but it’s me. I would like him to take an interest in me, to try to get to know me, and accept me for the way and who i am. I just want him to be a part of my life, and feel okay to tell me things, and know that if he asks me not to say something to the rest of the family, I will not say anything. He recently got mad, because, of all things, he bought a house, or was in the process of buying a house, and didn’t tell any of the family about it. I found out through other family members, and instead of saying anything to others, I asked him straight about it. He denied it, and i found out by looking at his friends myspace page. he blamed me for the whole thing, and told me to stay out of his business and to stop blabbing his life. sorry, last time i checked buying a house is an awesome thing! why would you not want to tell your family that you were buying a house? why keep it a secret? I found out he bought the house, after he bought it. and I found out before he told my parents, or our other brother, who he does keep in touch with. and he blamed me. I had to ask the rest of the family to not talk to me about him anymore, because he hurts me too much. We used to share a room in high school, and seriously, I know the feeling of hate to the point where I felt like if something didn’t change, I was going to kill him. Of course things changed, and we have grown up, and farther apart, partly I think because I married a friend of his, but i wish we could go back to the way things were before we moved to this area. He moved north, and only comes down here a couple of times every couple of years.

A recent bond through shared love-woes. I’d like to say we’ve talked, but it’s more like my mother has said, “oh, your brother’s going throught the same thing!” And we’ve left a series of messages back and forth. Honestly, I’ve seen his name on my phone, and not picked up because I wasn’t up for it, and I’m sure vice versa. but the energy is starting to flow, so it’s good.
