The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

[Twangasaurus]

The following rant is going to sound really self-entitled, but I'm frustrated.

Backstory:
I had three older siblings and all of them were told by my parents that if they went to college and didn't work a job, my parents would provide everything for them. This stipulation arose because my mom dropped out of college while she was working a job on the side, because she made too good of money to want to waste her time in school. Anyway, none of my siblings decided they wanted to go to college and live off of my parents. They all wanted to do their own thing. None of them ever did too well in school anyway or really cared about college.

I did well in high school, got a partial scholarship to a decent university, and my parents made me the same deal. I just had to go to school, get good grades, and be a full time student with no job and they'd take care of my expenses. I went through my first year of school and everything was fine. Then, this summer, my mom decided to quit her job (which was the majority of my parents' income). She used the money from their retirement fund to purchase a small newspaper of sorts that is distributed around where my hometown is. It's free and makes all its money from ad revenue. So now not only are they only living off of my dad's income, she's working day and night trying to get this paper off the ground and putting a lot of resources into it.

So now money's tight. So I offer to get a job to help and my mom refuses to allow me to. But every month, the checks are getting smaller and smaller and coming closer and closer to the last minute. I worked two jobs this summer and saved it all, and I don't have a penny of it left. I'm having panic attacks every month because I'm terrified of the numbers in my bank account. But my mother insists things are fine, things will work out, blah blah blah. "The paper has the potential to make x dollars per month if I just fill up the ad spaces!" It sounds like some sort of pyramid scheme where my mom is the one who sold herself the product.

I know that no one is forcing me to live off my parents, I could go get loans, etc. But I just wish I had known this going into college, or even prior to making my living plans for this year. I would have at least been expecting it and could have planned accordingly.

This is such a stupid thing to complain about, because at least I'm in a position where I can go to college, but I'm just kind of pissed off right now and I've been laying in bed thinking about it for the last two hours and just had to get it off my chest. If you read this whole thing, I really appreciate it. I promise I'm not always this big of a baby.

Just get a side job and don't tell her about it.
Also, make sure you tell her how much you appreciate her help (even when the checks are less than before and arrive late).

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.

My exs friends just picked up all her stuff.

[snipelfritz]

I gotta start taking care of myself...ugh.

[dubkitty]

i'm lonely, and tired of packing to leave. i haven't a single person to talk to here, and it truly sucks.

[gunslinger_burrito]

It sounds like that should change in your near future, right? I'm just realizing, really realizing, that I don't really have anyone to go hang out with in the city I'm in. I know a couple people, but one is totally flaky, and the other lives just far enough away as to be kind of inconvenient, should I want to hang out. I don't want to go drinking, so now I'm stuck with the challenge of finding a way to meet new people with like interests. It seems very daunting.

[dubkitty]

i know the guy who got me hired, but he's a busy guy with a sick wife/aged mom/daughter in high school. i'll be staying with osbornkt and hopefully that'll turn into a musical friendship. at any rate it'll be better than Pocatello, where i never found anybody to relate to at all other than rfurtkamp.

i've always made friends around music...playing, listening, collecting. and C'ville is apparently crawling with musicians. so i'll see.

a busy guy with a sick wife/aged mom/daughter in high school.

Oh, to visit the South again. Such beautiful ceremonies, such lovely multi-purposed unions of the soul. Such radiant family... stumps.

This should go in the happiness thread.

Got a trip to Mexico happening Friday, ad it seems like every relative that's over 40 is taking the opportunity to lecture me about shit that could go wrong. "Keep track of your money, they will try and steal it", "Don't eat the food, you will get sick.", "Don't buy stuff, they will not give you exact change." "Don't use the water, you will get the shits.".

I AM A FUCKING ADULT, NOT A FUCKING RETARD. I SPEND MOST OF MY QUALITY TIME IN THE GHETTO, I DO NOT NEED A FUCKING LECTURE FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE COUNTRY IN 20 YEARS!!!!

Its FUCKING STUPID. Its like, if you really don't want me to go that bad, keep taking assholes. Do I owe you fucking money or something? Get off my ass before I make you regret all the pointless bullshit you keep trying to force feed me.

ugh, great, now I'm crying like a bitch.

kiddddding.... although, i wouldn't have thought about using bottled water to brush my teef whilst in Bad Water Countries if my grrL hadna pointed it out.

BUMPS.

Its not as bad as people are making it seem via the media. The major shit with the cartel n stuff is more up north than anything, the total opposite of where im gonna be at, which is up in the mountains by an active volcano. Safe right? Its also not nearly as frequent. Its like any gang related shitz down in oakland. Just keep mindful and you'll be fine.

The water is bad tho, so I gotta avoid that.

Fuck man.

My Sister is stuck at Heathrow Airport for 24 hours due to high winds. So she's missing Christmas.

Fuck, sorry to hear about that man.

Sucks when people you love get stuck in crap like that. But theres an easy solution.

Have a big ass party once shes back.

I need to find a way to be social in a new city. It's not like there are shows every night, and I'm not drinking right now. Normally, I'd be excited to on my days off, but my human contact has been dropping off to only the people I interact with at the bank or grocery store...... I mean, I guess I've been kind of productive, but I didn't count on feeling so lonesome.

Plus, after a little more than a week since I lost the latest girlfriend, I'm starting to really miss her. At first, I was almost excited to not have to drive to another city on my weekends and what not, to have more time to work on my art and music goals....I guess I'm still excited about those things, but it sucks not having anyone to talk to. I want to move on, but in order to do that, I need some more like-minded people to hang out with....
