Sister: How's your "United States of the Nether Lands" coming along? Almost end of September na.
Me: Dead.
Sister: Why? YOU GOT LAZY AGEEEEEN!
Me: Nope. Main character's a sue. Stu. Sue. Whatever.
Sister: How is it a Sue?
Me: He's an advertising guy who's in hell gypping the actors and the politicians. Sound familiar?
Sister: But he's got no fashion sense whatsoever, wears ill-fitting clothes, has messy hair, is unsociable, has no people skills, is bad tempered and... I see what you mean. Why didn't you just go all the way and make him wear glasses?
Me: He does. Dark glasses. So the fires of hell don't hurt his eyes. Also 'cause I made him crosseyed. And hunchbacked. Does that make him less of a sue?
Sister: No. But you could pass it off as an author insert.
Me: Really? Is that more acceptable?
Sister: No, but it's really creeping me out hearing you say "Sue."
Me: Maybe I'll give him three pesky demons patterned after you, Mom and Jackie. Andun na rin lang tayo.
Sister: Are they vavoom shapely temptresses, kinda like corrupted versions of The Three Fates?
Me: No, the three little pigs.
Sister: Waaaaaaaah! You're meeeeeeeeeeeeeean! I haaaaaate youuuuuuuuu.
