I felt like posting randomly today. I guess it was because I read back about 2-3 pages of my past entries. How things have changed.
My dad and brother have been living in the trailer on my uncles property since January and somehow with no rent and 1.5 less people to provide for are more poor than when we lived on Amberwick. I drove by the house recently, looks much better, makes me a little nostalgic.
My mom has been living in the truck for quite a while she's stayed various places here and there but for the most part she lives in her truck still "looking" for work. I say that because I have given her countless resources and she doesn't bother to use them. It's really sad but her being in this situation and her not being in a position of power over everybody anymore has made her so much more of a bearable person to be around. She's really nice and kissy uppy for lack of a better word. It's even helped my parents marriage eventhough, they're not sure they're going to stay together because her treatment of my dad and not having a job are what lead to this craziness.
The place I'm living is great in many ways: close to work, landlord hardly ever home, can practically do whatever we want, no rules or restrictions. It comes with a price and that price is that I have to do all the cleaning and he hasn't bought toilet paper, garbage bags, paper towels and things like that since we moved in. He always never takes out the trash, gets the mail, or throws away exprired items in the fridge, plus we only have one cabinet in the kitchen which makes storing things a bit hard.
The roommates upstairs moved out after like 3 months because in that short time they had gotten into an expensive fender bender where the guy that hit them lied about it so they wouldn't be getting compensated for the $1800 repair to their only car, and then having the garage left open and having a few personal items as well as Suchita's purse. Plus I think they just weren't comfortable so I don't blame them. They were nice people though. It's been nice having only 1 roommate though. As far as I can tell he's having a hard time filling the vacant room.
I had to withdraw from my classes this semester because my mom pulled some I'm going to kill myself you don't love me stuff and was in a hospital for a while and I just couldn't pull it together and concentrate, not to mention I had just moved out on my own with my boyfriend and we we're both homesick for a while, it's just such a huge change. Now that i've adjusted, it's great, although, stressful but so was home life before. I could never go back, I will never go back. Now I'm just looking forward to the next step which is out own place but we could potentially move in with a friend and that would be better than living with a stranger, still more expensive though.
Josh and I will have been dating for 2 years next month, end of the month, but exciting none the less. I love more than I did when we first starting dating and then some. I don't know what I would do without him. Tonight, we're going to his parents 22nd anniversary party at Duke's in Malibu, totally looking forward to it but not the drive home in the dark canyon, oh well I'm sure I'll be just fine. Three day weekend though, yay!
