Probably Won't Be Online Much Longer...

how about not testing anyone and just accepting people as they are?

I have no problem with that.

So accept the fact I'll test the f*ck out of you.

This sibling preference things is so ridiculous. My uncle and aunty for example "prefer" one of their daughters over the other (due to her being more talented, prettier etc.) This translates laud and clear into personalities of their daughters. One is unruly, selfish and restless, the other is down, sad and always questioning. They are completely oblivious to what they are doing. Watching this from a distance makes me sick to my stomach. They are their own flesh and blood, but it looks like they are setting up one to fail.

Jennifer... I'm new to this forum, but so far you are definitely one of the best. I'm glad you got your stuff back and that the landlord tore up the contract. Does that mean you are "safe" in your apartment for the time being? I don't know your situation with your mom and your dad, but if you have people that are willing to help you right now (i.e. dad or even bf even if it's new) it sounds like the kind of situation that asking for help is not just acceptable but completely understandable. Don't let being afraid of asking for help in this situation prevent you from digging yourself out of the hole.

I also agree that you need to get away from your mom. It's too bad that one bully in your life has to be the womb you came out of, but just because people have the capabilities to breed doesn't automatically make them good parents.

You are much better than her. Take some courage and fly.

They might be surprised at the result of this. Sometimes it backfires, and the entangles ones end up going down with the family ship while the estranged one sails away free.

For the time being... all seems to be somewhat 'stable'... with the painting I've done... my obligations for rent on this apartment should be covered... I'll find out tomorrow when I talk to miss-bitch. She may pull out another dirty underhanded trick, so I'm not sure. In either case... I'm setting up to nuke this hell-hole from orbit. Have the City Code Enforcement taking an interest... and I will call the INS tomorrow --- as about 75% of the residents and most of the employees here are illegals.

Rest assured... I know how to have a b-b-q...


Also, sometime this weekend.. or on Monday... I will hit up one of my old jobs. It's the busy season for the moving company... so I'm sure they're itching for more help. It'll be at least 3 - 4 months of solid paychecks... more than enough time to find a more stable job. This will include side jobs with drivers out of town... though they are more or less infrequent... each side job can vary from $100 a day to $300. So I'll be able to supplement my income and even save (yay!)...

However... if none of this works out... I will be high-tailing to my Dad's... and will undoubtedly lose my internet connection for quite some time.

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all of this works out. Don't know why I didn't think about my old job... they're used to their employees quitting during the slow season and rehiring during the busy season.

I'm really going to like the sound of silence around here...
