The final straw

UnknownDreamland · October 2009

Today has not been a good day. I wake up and first thing I get is a long list of jobs when I simply want to head to the shower to wake up. My sister is hogging it however, finally leaving it after an hour and fifteen minutes in there. The house is -freezing-. We live in a very old home and even if it's only early forties out, it's just cold, you could see your own breath. So I get smart and grab my heater I use to keep my hands warm when I'm drawing and I turn it on to about.. 70(which is low), making my room nice and toasty, compared to the rest of the house anyway. My dad finds out and storms in my room saying if everyone else has to suffer in the cold, so do I. What the hell? It's not like that's the only heater in the house. We have another four at least, one for everyone. Just because I thought of it I get yelled at it? Then my sister had this "AMAZING" idea to use a heater in her room. So my dad, thinking this is just utterly brilliant carries her one of the biggest of the other four all the way up three flights of stairs to her bedroom, sets it up, says how smart she is, all that kind of crap. Then guess what! She blows a fuse. Six night-lights, a computer, monitor, tv, a radio, an iPod charger, and whatever other junk is way too much for one room/outlet in an old house that's outdated. How idiotic! She's lived here her whole life, she should know better! Then my dad storms in MY room saying how I shouldn't have my heater anymore, how I should have warned her(no, we don't share rooms), etc. How the HELL was I supposed to know? But no, I just sat there and took it, and said I was sorry. So today I've also lost numerous things I need. My flute bag with over 100 dollars worth of music in it and I have a class on Tuesday, my sister's 20 dollar head phones, my software CD wallet(with all my tablet stuff), my duffel bag with clothes, papers, my journal, my prismas, etc. and I'm just getting mad at that. I owe my parents about 400 dollars and I don't have a job. Some for Andi's surgery/care. Now I need to spend more money on a battery for the laptop since it only lasts about 45 minutes tops. My mom said she'd talk to a friend of hers who's asked for me to work for her before(she owns her own business), but hasn't yet. I just need some money. Bank interest doesn't cut it for me. My brother's a brat. But you all know that. And then the final straw was my tablet dying right in the middle of a collaberation-commission thing where I owe art. Great. Just -great-. My 400+ dollar tablet didn't even last a year. Wonderful.

Dreamy, I'm sorry I know I had a horrible day too, but this post is about you. xD Parents can be oh so un fair, I mean, you thought of it first and YOU get yelled at? What's that about, it's just unfair, and your sisters lived their her whole life she should have known the fuse would go hay-wire and ruin whatever was going on. Dreamy, it's ok. I know how you feel I suffer with you with my numb toes, execept I live in an apartment so I have to wait for someone to turn the heat on and I walts around and sit at the computer in 4 layers of heavey winter blankets and my moms like "Why don't you wear a sweater"...because blankets are more fun Dreamy. When ever I'm upset I just take a nap. Then you won't be cold either. Then agian, I nap to solve all my problems. CCCx

Dreamy, I understand.

Every single day something goes wrong, they find a way to blame it on me. Even though I have no siblings, they start comparing me to my "prettier" friends. :roll: Anyways, parents are like that.

Just wait until you're 18 ! I can't wait. I'll be outta here as fast as my butt can move. Well, Dreamers, this is the suckiest "comfort" post I have ever written. XD Maybe it's cause it's too early.. xD Anyways, you can PM me if you ever want to talk. (: Hope you feel better Dreamers !

(btw, if you want, I shall send my husky to you. She's very warm. xD)

cold house are no fun at all! I know I live out in the country and some times we have heat, but more often not. Propane is costly so I normally choose the water heater over the furnace e.e How ever for a while I owned the only radiator in the whole house and I use it, but only so much sense I share my room with two huskys and they don't like me for using it X3 My mom saw the light and got herself two, but too big of an area for the heaters to really heat effectively. OMG NOT THE TABLET!! I'll tell you some thing! My tablet that I"ve had for 2 years only cost 80$ heheh I'm a cheapo! I'm like if it dies fast I only spent a bit, not my life savings. And I can not relate to sibling problems having none myself, but anything that goes wrong logically has to be your fault having no one else to point a finger at.

Howdy, Stranger!
