I knew they weren't going to take it well, I just knew it. Today in passing I told my mother about how I feel bad since I can't buy anything for anyone for Christmas this year. Her reaction, you ask?
"You're shitting me.You didn't buy anything? For anybody? You need to be more responsible with your money, instead of spending it on yourself. Like the check you got from your grandfather- shouldn't have gotten more tattoos."
I assumed that check was a gift to us so we were supposed to do something nice for ourselves. I guess I should have bought gifts for everyone but it was something I've wanted to do for a long time.... Now I get to feel bad that I can't afford anything for anyone. I'm trying to save up money so I can pay them back for all the stuff I owe them, but apparently I should use it to buy them presents....Although I should get something for my brother. I just don't know what...I have a 50 dollar Borders gift card from my other grandfather, but....what would I get him? He doesn't read or watch DVDs, really.
Gah, I hate Christmas and not having money. If I didn't have bills and shitty paycheck because I was sick, I could've gotten stuff but now I get to feel like crap because I didn't get people something.... This blows. I really wish we could skip Christmas; I don't want anything.
