Apartment Pictures!

I finally finished decorating my room and thought y'all might like to see what I did with the place.  There are still some blank spaces on the walls, but the school has a poster sale coming up in a couple of weeks, so those will disappear soon :)

Yep, my dad is irresponsible in all the worst ways. He was like that before my mom died too, so it's not like you can even say it's his bad way of grieving. I don't think he's even grieving at all anymore to be honest... I think he's having a blast having control of his finances :/ It's stupid, because my mom had to take ALL the money and not let him touch it because he'd blow it all... and she had to give him money to get beer and only allow him so many a day, because otherwise he'd drink it all in one sitting. AND she had to force him to eat because he'd just sit there and drink and say he wasn't hungry. Of course compared to all the drugs he did when he was younger (yeah, my parents were hippies) I guess drinking is the least of the problems. But still. When my mom died he panicked because he doesn't know how to pay the bills... so Hugh and I do it for him, so he doesn't mess it up. But then when we tell him he's spending too much and he has to really watch what he's doing because he's coming close to spending more than he's making, he gets pissed at us and tells us to stop bothering him. I hate it. We go to visit every two weeks or so and when we get there he's spent $200-$500 on new DVDs and CDs. And his explanation is, "It was only $10!" Yeah, times 50! O_O The man complains he has nothing else to do so he has to buy them... he has more movies than he could even watch in his lifespan non-stop. I don't think he needs any more.

*grumbles*

I WISH my dad was the better kind of special. Really, he's just never been much of a dad to me... more of a liability and someone who used to make my mom miserable. She had to take his beer away to get him to play with me when I was a kid... come on, you shouldn't have to PUNISH someone so they play with their own kid :/

LOL! I'd probably need to have a camera rolling too if that ever happened... but the urge to just jump in and molest them would be too hard to resist. Then I'd get instant gratification AND blackmail. Score! \o/

Losties?? Come on, the SPN fans deserve the porn first... you think they wouldn't love seeing Luci and War together? At least we'd know who we were looking at... the Losties would just scream, "JACOB AND ESAU!!!!" and really mean it xD

Oh, wow. That sounds really horrible. I'm so sorry you have to put up with that and parent your own father.

My dad works a lot, so when I was a kid we didn't get much quality time or play time. And when we did get play time, it was usually the suffocation game (where he'd put a pillow over my face and hold it there until I gave up on struggling. it was more fun/terrifying than it probably sounds) or he'd chase me around the house with that doll I was terrified of. Interesting parenting style, to say the least. But he's my horror movie buddy, and he helps me out with my car and computer. I help him with photoshop and movie maker and such.

But the Losties would react negatively enough that it would be funny. Like when we gave them that convention video and their response was "Jacob said fuck! The world is ending!"

LOL! It's so hilarious and sad at the same time that they attach Mark to Jacob so much... if anything, the man is more like Lucifer xD I'm willing to believe Mark is more filthy minded than Misha... and that's saying A LOT. Misha practically lives in the gutter. I think Mark OWNS it :P

My dad used to work a lot too... 7 days a week, 12 hours a day sometimes when the economy was better. He retired almost a year before my mom died... I think it was some time last spring or summer. He worked at a factory on the motor line. It was actually nice not seeing him though because he used to work a different shift when I was a baby/little kid, when my mom actually had a job too. He'd watch me, and I'd BAWL on the phone with my mom and beg her to come home :P Yeah, not fun.

Now though, it's weird... because he's literally all I have left of actual family since the rest of them disowned me and my mom years ago. And we were never close to my dad's side (my mom didn't like them... I don't blame her) so when he goes out with them, I don't attend. It's weird having HIM be the only one left. I always assumed it'd be me and my mom left... my dad is 7 years older than my mom, had a triple bypass, and drinks so heavily his own mother is afraid he's going to fall down the stairs. We always assumed he'd go first, and as mean as it sounds I really wish it WAS the other way around. My mom made up for how little my dad cares about me... she cared TOO much, but at least THAT was refreshing. Now I don't even know what to do over there... I don't know how to act daughterly around him because he's nothing like a father should be. I guess I just hang out and tolerate him and his terrible music. He listens to OPERA all day for god sakes... or gospel (the awful kind), or jug bands... *rips out hair*

But he does like some horror movies, so I guess that's something. We watched Creature From the Black Lagoon last weekend... well, we watched SOME of it anyway. I missed half the movie because he was so drunk he wouldn't shut up :P

I just find it ridiculous that I'm the one falling apart over here over my mom because she was the closest to me, and we sort of depended on each other a lot... and I'm the well adjusted one. My dad is just awful as usual, and Hugh's worse than ever. It's hard to put up with THAT on top of recovering from losing my mom.

*looks at California and whimpers*

I need to get the hell out and find myself a decent man... at least they make them there :P Now if only I could find some money, lol.

Did I tell you my funny convention story about Misha and the gutter? I was standing in line to ask my question and a volunteer came through and said that the actor had chosen to have his questions screened because he didn't want to get asked anything too offensive. Then she didn't actually screen the questions. by the time I was two people away from the mi, she was flabbergasted. The line "Jared is fondling my balls with a broomstick" made her roll her eyes and realize that questions don't need to be screened; "he does this to himself, doesn't he?"

One of these days you'll have enough to move out to California and do everything you've ever wanted with your life. Until then, what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger, right?
