Overshadowing syblings

[evulish]

Huh. My sister was third in her class. She was an athlete. She had almost a 4.0 GPA. She got a $7k/year scholarship to Elizabethtown college and then is planning to go to Thomas Jefferson U. She got accepted to every college she applied to.

She is the epitome of the overshadowing sibling. I'm okay with my B average and un-athletic life style. My parents, on the other hand, are not. My parents have tried to get me into sports. I lack seeing the fun in running into other people and trying to grab onto a ball just to whack the crap out of it later. It's especially awful when they repeat what she has accomplished...it just makes me feel all the better! Oh yeah. I'm good at computers...I'm sure that has a better sellable trait than being #3 in her highschool crosscountry team. *sigh*

Ohh...I am exceptionally bright. Not to brag...but I probably could be just as good as my sister. It's just that I don't care to be...and don't need/want to be reminded that I could. I like who I am, I like where I sit, and it seems to work well for me.
