Blah. Family woes. Skip if you want.

Well today was sucky. Worked 8:00-12:30 this morning, which was blah inducing, then I went round to Dad's so he could help me wash, polish and buff my car. JWalk is now shiny and clean. :D I was really tired so I kind of dozed off in the chair while Dad was cleaning the car, but not before we had a huge chat about money, and child support, and how he doesn't think he should pay for half of my sister's netball trips on top of the child support, etc. By "chat" I mean I sat there and nodded every now and then, while he went on and on about it. I hate hearing him, them, talk about it. Like, I'm kind of glad they're getting the divorce, because it was worse when they were together, but I don't want to hear the details. Just get it over with. Which, they are. Divorce proceedings are going to start this month or something. Apparently though, with all the payments he has to make, there's a chance he might actually have to sell our house. Our old house. Which is fucking unfair. We're the ones who had to move out because he has his shed and his workshop there, and now it turns out he might have to sell it anyway? What was the point of us moving then, why didn't he move out? Like, I'm not sure Mum would have been able to meet the payments on it either, but at least we would have been there for this last year. But I couldn't say that of course, so I just "mm-hmmed" and changed the subject. I know it's a big deal, but I just don't want to talk about it with them. Because I've had both of them say "Don't tell your father/mother but..." and then complain to me about the other. Which, like I know I'm 20, an adult, and I'm not going to be irrevocably scarred or anything, but it still sucks to hear that. Ugh, whatever.

Then after I came home I got ready for the movies; the girls and I went to see Hancock, starring Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman. It was very funny, and I recommend it. I got a big thrill out of the cinema foyer though, because they had this cut out set up near the doors:


I'm going to see it there and everything. I'll go by myself if none of my friends will go with me. No really, I'm serious!

My friend and I came back to my place after the movies, and we rented Rush Hour 3 and watched that in my room with some awesome chocolate icecream I bought. And now I'm going to go to bed. *nods*

movies, bad things make me sad, friends make me happy, it's life jim but not as we know it
