Games, updates, and not-so-welcome visitors

[driretlaneb]

I just got back from a friend's place where they're looking to get another D&D game started with me. Woot (as gamers like to say). It should be fun, even with just three of us, but D&D is usually more social - at least four players. I think it'll still be fun; I've done it before and I really like it. As for updates… not much. I still have no job yet and have lost the best means of transportation - the Monte Carlo otherwise known as Dracula. My sister's car was reposessed, so dad let her take it back. Oh, well. I have prospects in line, though, and there's no way in hell I'm going to just give up. I'm better than that. But, other irritations are on the horizon. My mother (I use the term loosely) and her new husband (I flatly refuse to call him anything even remotely like 'father') are Stateside and looking to see the three of us; my sisters and I. I liken this to the spinal tap I had done when I worked at UPS and contracted a sizable, nasty headache - you can only get through it if you can't feel anything that far south or you're stoned off your ass. I wish I were the latter, but I'll take what I can get. For this, I can maintain civility, but that's about it. But, I won't see her unless she actually calls me; if she cares enough, she will, but I'm not sure that's the case. I really have no desire to see the man she married (for more info, read 2 Samuel 12). She's also lied to me for a long time; there were a lot of things I picked up on after my eureka on spirituality and organized religion. As my mother, she still deserves that respect, even as much as I just don't want to give it to her; as a person, I think she sucks. If I could get my way, I'd have a job and an apartment in Cary with my fiancé. …Too bad I'm sort of stuck here.

*lights cigarette* I don't know. I might still be holding the same resentment I had when I learned about her leaving. I find myself barely able to get past that. But, if she goes to the work and finds me, I'll see her. Otherwise, I have better things to occupy my time. And, I really don't need any more frustration than I already brought on myself.
