Hey, guys!
HOLY CRAP! Has it really been since HALLOWEEN since I last updated here?! I'm sorry! I just haven't had much going on...
WARNING: This will be a long post, I'm sure.
Eh, let's see... my sister's birthday was on the 12th. Nothing special there. She just has an even bigger ego now and such...
Oh, and, like, the week before that, my sister wanted to go to a movie with her boyfriend. So, my parents took all of us to KFC before they were going to a movie, so I invited my b/f along, y'know? So, it was me, my b/f, my sister, her b/f, and both my parents.
Anyway, my sister and her b/f didn't get food since they were going to eat at the theater, which my b/f noticed and commented on. It was just a small comment, "You guys aren't eating yet?"
So, I added, "I know, my parents are always telling me to eat something 'good' before I get junk food at the theater. Yet, they're letting them get away with it..."
That's how I am. It was just input.
However, in my b/f's family, you have debates. You do NOT argue, you debate. Which, I actually like. Everyone gets to express their opinions and no one has to choose sides or succumb to the other's argument. However, in MY family, you argue. My parent's are NOT open-minded and things go ONLY their way.
ANYWAY, my b/f saw this as an opening for debate (which is, of course, a habit to him) and said, "Y'know when you two AREN'T eating, it makes those of us who ARE eating feel bad. Like, you're starving and we're supposed to feel sorry for you. It kinda ticks me off."
Now, I've been to my b/f's house often enough, I'm used to these kinds of things being said. He wasn't trying to offend them or anything, he was just expressing his thoughts. But, apparently, my parents thought he was "attacking" my sister and well... did NOT approve.
THAT was issue #1.
The other issue my parents are having with my b/f is that he doesn't come to visit often.
True, he's only been to my house, like, twice in the last 4 or 5 months, but there's a menagerie of reasons for that.
- I don't like being at my house.
- My b/f is having issues with my parents and doesn't think they accept him.
- I prefer to be at HIS house.
- He drives to school from his house and vice versa at least twice a day, PLUS always driving on the weekends. It really racks up a gas bill.
- We have more privacy at his house.
- His mom actually likes me.
However, my mom is beginning to think I spend too much time at his house (it's really only on the weekends!). And, I'm seriously having a HARD time finding a job, so I've been relying on my parents for help to fill up my car once every 10 days or so 'til I can get hired SOMEWHERE.
Anyway, my mom said the other day, "If your boyfriend can't come see US at OUR house once in a while, we won't help you put gas in your car. We won't do it."
My reaction, "WHAT?! You guys KNOW I'm working my ASS off to find a job! YOU KNOW THAT! Second, without gas, how the HELL am I supposed to get to and from school?! It's COLLEGE! I can't just SKIP like high school! I'm PAYING for all my classes now! Now, you want to BLACKMAIL me with my BOYFRIEND?!" I didn't actually say these things, but it's what I was thinking.
So, I ran this by my b/f and his response was (what I got from our chat on Y!M), "That's unfair. This is why I hate your parents, they put you through too much shit. I also love how they're trying to put a measure of control on me using you as leverage. That's shit my father did (he HATES his father to the Nth degree, it's a long story and it's kinda personal.). But, trying to do it to me, an outsider... I liked them just fine up until those couple weeks ago (reference to the KFC incident)."
But, in the end, we came to an agreement to alternate weekends at each other's houses. Gawd... -_-|||
I was scared he was going to leave me, though. I thought that unfairness of it all would drive him away... but, when I asked, he said, "God, no. I love you and nothing your parents can ever do will make me run. If anything, I'd run but take you with me!" or something to that degree. ^_^
So, even though we're being put through so much crap, I'm incredibly happy and feeling lucky to have him. He's so understanding and fair. Squee! I loves him so much!!! >____<
Anyhoo, that's about it.
OH! Last week, I went to work and it turns out the phone bill for the store hadn't been paid on time. We had no phone and no internet. FAIL! And, they somehow managed to forget to call and tell me my schedule had changed. FAIL! That place falls apart without Deb there (she was gone for a week for vacation). I'm glad she's back now... since they also never paid me for that week. EPIC FAIL! I should get paid today... and I hope I do, I'm broke! TT^TT COMMISSION ME, PLEASE!!! I'm hungry and winter is coming...
One last note, ALERT! Yosei's a GIRL!
