Winter Break - my first real time home since I started college. A time to catch up with family, meet up with friends, and confuse the fuck out of my dog who was convinced I was dead. At first, my parents did not know how they were going to treat me - my grades weren't out yet. The amount of bitching they were going to lay down on me during this month of snow was to-be-determined. All A's, two B's. Thank You, Pfizer Corp. for creating Adderall!! So now, I can rest assured that this vacation *could be worse*. That doesn't mean it is all that good, though. A few things have changed since I left.
1) My Bed. No longer is my bed, in my bedroom. Thats right, I say. Beds in bedrooms is so..so.. 2005. My bedroom has now been turned into my dad's 2nd office, and my bed is now randomly in the middle of his first office. I have filing cabinets, phones, and all this other nifty stuff surrounding my bed. And the rest of my stuff (clothes, bongs, video games, whatever) all now surrounds my dads computer. So not only is my bed nowhere near the rest of my stuff, my dad comes in every 10-15 minutes and turns on the light to look for stuff. Then, this room, is adjacent to the kitchen with no door. So my parents constantly go to get food/coffee/whatever , come in and talk to me, regardless of what state of unconciousness I am in.
2) My Car When I left for my freshman year, my dad started to use my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Not even a week later did the following things go wrong with it: axel = completely fucked , new battery = dead , electronics = shot , subwoofer = missing , new shocks = dead , new tires = bald , extra 10000 miles , clutch = destroyed , etc etc. It will not run, and my dad has admitted to this being his fault. Is it fixed? nope. Are there any plans to fix it? nope. The rational? "No one uses it, so there is no reason to fix it." Great.
3) The Cellular Telephone Ok, this one is my fault, but it still is making this situation a lot worse. Lets just call this a "snowboarding accident" and now it is out of order. My primary method of communication now is instant messenger, and for some reason, all of my friends decided to silently boycott AIM for winter vacation.
4) The TV When my dad and I lived in the house, we ruled majority on the tv. But now that I am gone, my mom managed to pull of a 51% majority and had the cable CANCELLED. And somehow, the inputs on the tv just do not work - so I can't even get FOX or play PS2. Never again will I take FOX's amazing prime-time lineup's for granted.
5) Laundry So for the few weeks before winter break, I did not do laundry. Disgusting? Maybe. But there was the promis of *free* laundry coming up for winter break. Little did I know, that the washer machine at home broke. And that my parents have been using the laundry mat. Yayyy. And me with no car to actually get to the laundry mat. YAY.
6) The Shower Being able to shower without footwear has turned into a mere fantasy since August. I have been dreaming of this since I first set foot in the greenish closet thing that WPI calls a "shower." Again, little did I know, that the WATER HEATER HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES, AND THE HOT WATER GOES AWAY AFTER 3 MINUTES. I can deal with not showering every day. I can deal with not having the cleanest of clothes. But for God's sake, both? How I'm not single is beyong me.
7) Alcohol I want my mini-fridge back. When I left school, I figured it would be best to leave all of the vodka and rum there, so I will be plently stocked for when I return. Boy was I wrong! That was a very, very stupid decision on my part.
8) Curfew (and other inane rules) "As long as you are under my roof, you will live by my rules." "Im only under your roof because my other roof kicked me out for a month. If this place didn't have free food, I wouldn't be here either."
So, I have no sleep, no car, no phone, no TV, no clothes, no showering... I am essentially grounded to the extreme.
This is horrible, and I want out.
The End.
PS. What the fuck is up with chinese food places not being open until 4am around here??? 10pm is NOT an acceptable time for Mandarin Taste to close.
