Annoying relative?

I have an aunt who is really annoying and I asked a question about her:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApFAG...

because she is a self invite...

Anyway, there is more to her being a self-invite. She has 2 sons whom she speaks very highly of. Of course she is a proud parent.Who wouldn't be right? I have another cousin who is a pro basketball player and at the start of his career she became a really obsessed fan. She ordered me around to cheat online surveys and be a regular at the fan site. Obviously she has too much time on her hands and doesn't understand that I just don't feel like doing what she does. Also, my dad comes out on tv alot since he is in the back up band of a popular singing contest. She acts like a crazy fan. At our reunion introduciton she mentioned my dads and my cousins occupation and her sons occupation(a dj and the other one a project manager) but didn't mention the others even if she knew .cont'd

Update:

And, she even asked me how much I earn...for what? geez. i found it really rude...

one time, we went to the cemetery to visit my grandmothers grave and we had other relatives over from other countries. she first took a picture of my athlete cousin and his parents, and then with my grandpa and then with my dad...so the only ones out of the picture were me and my siblings.I had to speak up and tell her that we were included in the family too. I think she is really starstruck...and its annoying that she expects us to play along with her. How do i deal with this. And she quizzes me if I watch my dads show or not...weird!

Update 2:

Skeet monroe, i am asking how do i deal with her? She quizzes me every week about my dads show as if she doesn't watch. She takes it that I don't have enough family spirit as I don't watch my cousins games or my dads shows. I tried to ignore her but she wouldn't stop and kept on calling me and e-mailing me about the shows and the surveys. I am not ranting I am telling the story so the answerers will know what to answer.

    You need to grow a backbone, lady. Cheating for others? Doing their bidding, and for an AUNT! Come on, how old are you, 12?

    I believe you are not looking for a real answer, since you got plenty in your last question. I think you are just looking to rant about it, so why don't you just get over it and do what everyone was telling you to do?

    I know that feeling. The best thing to do is just say "whatever" and walk away. That's the best way to handle it.

    Ignore her and lock the door when she tries to come over.

    Well, you just be patient with what she is doing because others might think that you're not respecting her.
