...
Regretfully, my first update in so very long must be an angry one...
Right now, I have multiple issues with the way that my sister is conducting her life. Not that I'm one to direct how she should live, but as far as it concerns me, I think I have a say.
#1. My sister steals. Now, I know that sounds hypocritical to mention, but the thievery with which I'm concerned is a more homeward-bound variety. It really irritates me when she steals things that she knows are mine, with no remorse. My sketch pads, for instance. Sure, the one was downstairs for a while, but that doesn't make it fair game for anyone to claim. The other, the front of which she chose to decorate with magazine cut-outs of The Darkness, was in my room last night, and I found it defaced on a t.v. tray downstairs not 30 minutes ago. Also, my phone and computer cables, and my cds. She stole one of my phones for parts which she needed to connect to the internet, a privelage our mother has been trying to deny her for my sister never doing anything in the way of responsibility or respect for our mother. That wouldn't have been such a big deal had I been asked. I may have let her do it, knowing that our mother wanted her to stay offline. But she also stole my power cord. I know that I haven't been using my computer much lately, but that doesn't mean it's scrap to be used by others as needed. Especially without permission. But the most frequent theft that I experience is of my cds. Right now, I'm missing five cds. I may know the location of two or three, but that still leaves a few. And I might go ask her where they are... but she'll say she doesn't have a clue. It won't be until I hear her listening to them, or until I take it upon myself to dig through her shit that I'll find any of them. I've been missing my Phantom Planet cd for months, now, and I know it's her fault. She borrows my cds, lends them to her friends, and forgets about it. I had to get my Postal Service cd from Amanda recently, because my sister decided it'd be good to let her take that. And Shayla has my Donnie Darko movie, which I didn't even know was missing until she told me today.
#2. Her behavior sucks. She doesn't respect anyone. This is mainly directed at our mother. She gets pissed off that she doesn't get to get online, or go out whenever she wants, but she doesn't do anything... ever... to warrant privelages. She'll split when she's grounded, not come back for days, come home long enough to steal some money from our mom's purse, and then she's off again. She doesn't steal as much money as she used to, on account of some new girl... her so-called "fat friend", who's parents are "loaded", and from whom her friend steals an abundance of money, of which she eagerly partakes. But that's beside the point. If she'd just stay home, clean a little, not leave until she got the "O.k." from our mom, maybe she wouldn't be denied privelages. But as long as she is, she'll be pissed off, and won't give a shit about authority so long as she can help it. Which is most of the time, because there's not much our mother can do to stop her.
#3. Her attacks on me. When I went down today to get my sketch pad, she started attacking me verbally. There really wasn't a reason, but she attacked me anyway. It's not always direct, but it's frequent... she'll be on the phone near me, and she'll make comments aloud to whoever it is about me, and what I do, or don't do, or how I'm unoriginal. But the more I listen to what she has to say, the more I see her being a phenomenal hypocrite. "Your taste in music is entirely the result of your relationships with Debra, Lindsay, and Sarah." Bingo, but what's your point? Everyone's music is predominately a collection of what they've been recommended by their friends. Here's a thought, Katie... why do you like metal? or J-rock? Why do you like any of the music I like? Maybe it's part because of Eric, or because of your friends on Palace, or because of your friendships with Debra, Lindsay, or Sarah, through me. Why do you like ska? Because of Chris? No, never! It seems like she really doesn't have much purpose in her attacks other than to get to me. She has wit, I'll give her that, and our mother was right when she made a comment to that effect. I could never verbally attack someone and come out on top... I just can't think up insults fast enough. It's something she apparently gets from our dad. That's a whole other issue, though... I guess there isn't much other than that. She attacks without reason, and without foundation. Maybe I'm the one at fault, for letting it get to me.
I guess that's it.
