║ fifty-fourth stanza ║ voice
Jun. 8th, 2011 05:48 pmI have a brother - an older brother, named Jeffrey. He's... well, he's smart. Incredibly smart, really, and driven. Sociable. Charming. Popular.
[He pauses, then adopts a tone that fondly imitates an absent friend, even if only one other person in the City will know it... to anyone else, it just sounds like he's sarcastically emphasizing the grandness of Jeffrey's achievements, though with fondness and humor.]
Valedictorian. National merit scholar.
[Back to normal now.]
He's everything that our parents could have ever wanted in a son, and I would never blame him for it, it's... well, our parents just put all of their hopes and dreams in him, and set their expectations by his accomplishments. Every time he succeeds at something, he raises the bar just a little bit more.
He's the standard to live up to.
[ooc: At work, leaving in a bit! Tags may be delayed and spotty. UGH I am also SO VERY SORRY for anything I dropped, life got hectic... again ;;]
