katiecake: Toda la vida.

So the last few days with my family (HA) have been somewhat interesting. I'm just going to start out with that statement. My brother seems to think it's appropriate to bring his friends into my room and play my playstation without my permission. My mother, as soon as she arrives home and no later than saying hello, calls my outfit "ugly" and then proceeds to eat the dinner I cooked for her, while continuing to criticize how I look. Wow, I love living here. I cried a bit today, because I feel like every time I try to do something nice (like cook dinner for my mom when she gets home or offer my brother cookies without waiting for him to apologize for making my room his personal hang-out space), everyone gets pissed at me. Because now, my mom is mad at me and my brother isn't speaking to me. That doesn't really make sense. Perhaps I need some lessons in logic? I'm thinking not, actually. I'm thinking I *really* need to get out of this house.

Alright, I'm done with that rant. I just had to get it out. Life has been mostly uneventful, except for a few SECRET events (I would tell you, but then I'd have to kill you). And the little things that have been happening outside of my home make up for this lousy "family." Otherwise, I'm still just working away, attempting to make some sort of dent in all of my bills. I was offered a third job at Alex and Allie, a small children's clothing shop, and I was all set to work, but then I found out that I was only going to get about 8 hours a week. Therefore, I ended up turning the offer down, since it wouldn't make it worth it to change my availability at Herberger's and risk losing hours there. It's somewhat a relief to not have three jobs. On the other hand, I really do need some more income. I don't know what I'm going to do when I have to start paying my loans in addition to the remainder of my tuition.

Some other things of note that have occurred since I last wrote:
1) I FINALLY SAW MEGAN! We went to see Babies (which is truly a wonderful film) and then she slept over at my house. While I was quite tired the next day, I was still super excited for the next event on this list.
2) SLEEPOVER AT ANDREW'S! Andrew came home for the weekend and we stayed up all night last Saturday and played Call of Duty and drank some Mighty Arrow (don't even ask). I was also attacked by a werewolf. No joke here, I have the wound to prove it.
3) HUNG OUT WITH A PERSON I QUITE ENJOY!
4) COOKIES WITH ELIZABETH AND EMMA! Although, this cookie baking was more like I baked the cookies while Emma creeped on the computer and Liz kept trying to talk to people on my computer (although Liz at least *did* add one stick of butter).
5) I ordered my bridesmaid dress. My bank account is weeping.
6) My computer is back! Best Buy stole it a bit ago and it appears to be working correctly. However, I'm sure it will break again soon enough and I will find that they didn't ever actually fix the problem they set out to fix in the first place.
7) I'm on the 6th Harry Potter. I am dreading the 7th.
8) About half an hour ago, I realized I was missing LOST. And then I realized, with great distress, that I didn't really care all that much. This is scary to me.
9) I need to sing. LOUDLY. But I can't, because the people that I live with are home.
10) The end. CAPS LOCK.
