it's much funnier if you leave it at my previous cryptic message, but if you insist on full disclosure…
the mother of my best friend since 6th grade is moderately insane. as long as i've known them they had as many cats as she could get her hands on. the whole house reeked of them. she loves animals and hates people. you probably know the type.
well eventually she gives up on the city altogether and moves to the san luis valley in colorado – i.e., middle of bfe nowhere. so he moves in with his dad for a while, only said father is apparently an idiot so one day greg comes home and finds an eviction notice on their apartment because the dad went bankrupt. there's chaos and confusion, of course, but greg ends up moving in with his mother, in nowhere.
we play mmos like DAoC and especially CoH a lot – really, since high school, that's how we've kept in touch – but down there all they have is satellite internet, which lags like a b****, and goats. certainly, that's the least of the hardships all imposed upon him by having to live with his mother and his severely insane older brother, but the goats, to me, are emblematic of that entire situation. thus, undying resentment that won't be put to bed for anything short of a free lifetime supply of feta cheese.
