Holidays are somewhat difficult, as I don't celebrate them with my family.  I used to spend like every year for the past five years with friends, but that has gotten really strained.  I wasn't interested in dating one of the men there, and I think that reallly upset some people, as it might have been expected I was going to date him or something...I don't know. Last year a low-key argument broke out at the Easter event, so I kinda wanted to stay out of it.

At any rate, I needed to find something else to do, so this new church that I go to was having a brunch.  I got up early, brought my dish, and drove out there.  I sat with everyone.  This one really odd lady who hangs around a lot came very late and was hanging around the table, just kind of lurking there. She was almost half an hour late.  I had a feeling that she was going to try to take my seat if I had to get up. Sure enough, when I went to get up and get dessert, I came back, and she retrived the seat. I had my purse there, utensils and everything. I was so furious. I just grabbed my purse and left.  Good thing I knew someone inside, so I sat with them.  They also thought it was really odd that someone would do that. I've never seen anyone do that before, and I wouldn't have the audacity to do so, it's so rude.  When I came out from inside, the whole table was taking a picture together. I was really angry.  I have to say I pity people like that because obviously they have no social skills or anything going for them. Only a loser would do that.

I was tempted to tell her off, but then that would make me look bad.  I don't know if I should ever say anything about it, but I don't want anything to do with this person now-ever.  I'll be polite only if I have to. I mean I was already feeling really rejected and left out about the holiday in general, and usually at this congregation is where I feel welcome. Overall everyone is nice and there is a good vibe. I almost left the whole event entirely, but I didn't want one thing to screw up the whole day.  I think it was salvaged by the end.  She is weird. She came in last year and was coughing and sneezing all over the place and I ended up getting really sick for like four days.  People like that are pathetic and sounds bad but I view as even beneath me. It's not nice or Christian, but yeah I'm pretty upset. She *knew* that was my chair as she kept eyeing me and I had a feeling it might happen-I just didn't think she'd actually do it!  My guess is that she is rejected everywhere, otherwise why would you act like that? A normal person would find a free table, and she had her daughter with her.
