(no subject)
Okies...so I tried avoiding this subject on my LJ because it sounds like your typical LJ rant and ramble, but... my aunt dropped the EPO on herself a few weeks ago so she could talk to him about some unpaid bills in their old house. Started innocently enough, though your Mascii had ominous feelings. Now she had him change the oil in her car, and she goes to visit him more and more with each passing week. Tonight he 'made an apple pie' when he doesn't even like it, and asked if she'd come eat it. X_X Of course, she leaves the kids. EPO is still on them, and he can't get near them. If she's caught taking the kids to see him, the kids'll be taken away from both of them.
So, Mascii is getting increasingly irritated, but she says nothing because she doesn't know how. Recently the boys started talking more about their dad(kinda funny, eh? It's been over two months, maybe three now, I dunno, but they didn't miss him at all this whole time), and asking to see him. Mom says that we don't have to worry, the court won't drop the EPO on those kids even if she asked. And even if he 'breaks down crying' and says that it's 'tearing him up' to be away from them.
But Mascii still worries. She knows her aunt's type, and they're more forgiving than Mascii thinks she will ever be. Yumichan is dead set against the whole thing. She doesn't wants anything to do with her father, and anytime he is brought up in conversation she insults him. Being the oldest, she had to sit there and watch the situation play out and remain helpless and powerless. When Aunt mentioned the EPO, Yumichan adamantly stated she didn't want the EPO dropped on her and if he came back she was going to 'pack up her stuff and move out'. Wowzah, Yumichan. I am spending the night here because Aunt has a court order in the morn to check up on things, etc. And I'm babysitting. I told Yumichan when I had a minute alone with her that she could come live with us if she 'needed to'. She nodded and said she knew.

Things are getting more complicated, I think. But we'll see how it goes.
For the record, you guys, the majority of the munchkins that hang out at our house think MTM is cooler than me. X_X Well, fine then. Just because I don't blare Arashi over the speakers doesn't mean I can't be awesome. I keep getting complaints when I play my mp3 player over the speaker system. These kids just hate change, methinks. No new music...even Pillar and L'Arc en Ciel, my current top picks! Flyleaf I can't play because mom says she sounds 'moany and depressed'. *sigh*
When Moonychan visited last weekend she mentioned that she hadn't heard any female vocalists that do screams. I arched an eyebrow and handed her some Flyleaf. :D Dunno if she liked it or not, but it's worth sharing, IMO. My fave is 'Fully Alive' and 'Sorrow' by them, methinks. Anyways, had some fun with her this weekend. Drew some comics, drank some Dew. I acted like a dork and she laughed. The stuff we do every weekend. But somehow I continue to amuse her enough that she keeps coming over. I guess I just have that clown-type of talent. I notice most of my 'friends'(including and mostly online) generally think of me as 'that funny dork'. Yeah, you know who you are. Screw heavy discussion, you just chatter with me because I'm a teen that sometimes acts like an ADD six year old with one too many spoonfuls of pure sugar.
L'Arc en Ciel's music videos pwn the world. XD There's this one with little chibi drawings of the band members in it! AND THEY'RE SOOOOO KAWAIII! :D
Holding a cuteness contest between some of the more adorable munchkins, including teh one that adores me.(note:ONE. And even she ditches me when Moony, who is of super-cool, comes over) It's fun. Oh, so fun.
Our family is talking about moving again. Our house is huge and awesome, but it's expensiiiive...and we can't afford it. So they're talking about how, if the economy goes caput and the US goes topsy turvy, they wanna be self-sufficient. So we're gonna try to build our own house on our own land. W00t w00t. This means some weeks in a tiny trailer then moving to a tiny house, but whatev. I can stand it. Means I have a good excuse to hang out in the rain more. "But there's no roooom insiiiiide! :DDDD"
When I brought up the topic of 'how are we gonna fit my piano in this plan?' Dad said that the piano had 'become a vital part of our lives, and we'll make room for it'. I could shed a tear. :'D I've made the piano a part of my family's lives. YES! Making music important to people who don't really seem to care.
BTW. Working on my poetry. Might post of my stuff here if anyone wants it and/or if I stop being extremely lazy.
Ehhh....my mother is funny sometimes. Awesome as all get out and cool, etc. But she tends to put all her efforts into BEGINNINGS, rather than ENDINGS. Maybe that's where I inherited it. *shrug* Could be a detriment to my abilities, but perhaps I could amend it.
Ohohoh! Leelee...we're on episode 5 of D.N.Angel now. I lahves it! XD Niwokun is verah, verah adorable. And Darksan is awesome and has freaking amazing hair. : DDD
Mascii loves hair. Sooo much.
My brother, Hidekikun, is watching it with me, and he doesn't seem psyched about it. The Unicorn episode threw him off, and he almost stopped just cuz of that. X_X But he'll watch Lucky Star! Weirdo.....
Basic Japanese phrases have become part of my life now. The whole family uses, "Konnichiwa", "O genki desu ka?", "tadaima", "okaeri nasai", "moshi moshi", and such daily. Leelee...you have any random common phrases to teach Mascii? : DD It won't be too long, though, until I'm taking classes in Jap. W00t w00t! I'm so happy about that. But it'll be awhile yet...*sigh*
Ack. Better go. It's 3:20 and I need to be watching kids at seven A.M. x_x Plus I don't want my Aunt to realize that when I say "I'm a night-owl" I really, really mean it. The kids' bedtimes are 10 o'clock....
Homeschool thingy: Is going okay. My sanding is awesome after those yarn shop shelves(soooo bigg...sooo much sanding...) but my free hand cuts with a jigsaw are...less than amazing...X_X I noticed this week more of the other teens are actually...talking to me...So that's weird. I'm just standing there and they'll say something to me, or they'll ask me what time it is. I'm sure none of them can remember my name, or they might talk to me more. Despite my name being in the top ten most popular EVER, no one gets my name right. My close relatives call me by other people's names. One chick kept asking about my progress on my CD rack I'm making. Chatted a lil with her, guess I did okay with smalltalk. Not very experienced with that, to be honest. Yes. I know you're all thinking I'm exaggerating that. But really, the internet has been the place I'm most verbal. Usually I don't chatter at family gatherings, and I don't say a lot excessively. Mostly because there's so many other peeps talking, I find other things to do. Oh, and one of the guys is making a CD rack, too. Once in awhile I peer over to see if he's as confused as I am. Once or twice he asked teach a question I had been wondering a few mins prior. I'm a il ahead of him though, I think. Even though mine were the only pieces not cut this week. There's only one saw, so teach said we'd measure and she'd cut. Mine was the only wood she didn't get to. X_X Mascii luck right dar. So I cut mine and then got to chiseling out the pieces. Had to track down teach and ask her where the chisel was, and she was kinda short with me, and I just went to my corner and chiseled away, figuring it out as I go. After I was done, the guy with the other CD rack asked to use my chisel. I went over to see how Yumichan and MTM were doing, and he followed me and asked how to use the chisel. Teach doesn't explain things, really. X_X I said, "You have to hit it with a hammer on the top," and kinda demonstrated with my hands. It's just like in the movies, really. And easier to hit than you'd think. He thanked me and skeetered off, and as he walked away Yumichan looked up and did an annoying, "OOooOOoOOOOoh" sound. And she tried to tease me about "talking to BOYS!".
x_x That goof of a girl. Talking to guys about chisels doesn't count as flirting. Unless you're very perverted.
In speaking of males... XD
