I think that dreams are just dreams. I don't like the idea of overanalyzing them and making them mean some weird psychological bullshit thing.

Evelyn though, it isn't that she's self-centered. She actually cares a lot about what's going on in our lives, and part of the problem really is that she asks so many questions. Having to talk about myself is overwhelming for me, and when you add to it the having to translate everything we say back and forth, it's just way too much. And then she goes off on these long advice rambles about how I should be young while I'm still young, and go out and have fun more.

In general, I really love most of my family. I just don't like it when they come to visit, and you're obligated to spend all your time with them, so you can't get the time to yourself that you need without being offensive.
