::::update to summer drama::::
monday mom was like, "al and i had a talk and he's going to try to come up with an alternative for his parents living situation, but he might still move out cause he wants a place he can build a recording studio." so i'm thinking *blah now this is just being drawn out more, move out already so i can get a cat and my mom can move on* so all week he's been sleeping in our guest room. so i was like, "julie might come visit again this weekend" (which she wasn't but i wanted to see what she would say about the guest room) and she goes "well where is she going to sleep because we have someone occupying that room now" and i was like, "so now i'm never allowed to have friends visit again?" and she was like "well when people split up these things happen."
ok, so they split up, so correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't that mean he exits stage left?
so aves says "well what's gonna happen when rachel comes to visit." and mom says "well i don't know because someone is in that room" and i threw back at her that i gave her 3 MONTHS notice of rachel's visit and took off work and rachel took off work and that is not fair at all. so now i have no fucking clue what's going to happen but he's still in our house saying stupid things annoying the piss out of me. i am a better person when i am not around him. i have so much built up anger and resentment towards him and i just want to be happy. he's says shitty comments about my father that he shouldn't say cause he DOESN"T FUCKING KNOW HIM. i always say stuff about my dad when i'm over there cause i know he hates it like "dad wants to tell the new neighbors he likes their kerry bumperstickers because it adds to the democratic population of the court" and al goes "your father has changed pretty fast, he voted for bush" and i'm so taken aback that he would think he knows my father that i shot back "umm, my father is an intelligent man, he would never have voted for bush.. i know for a fact he voted for clinton both times and gore the last time. he even let me draw the arrow on the ballot for both clinton elections. and then he tries to argue back he voted for bush. this is because he heard my mom say once that my dad used to be republican which he was about 2 decades ago. thats just it ... he thinks he fucking knows everything and i'm sorry but off all people to talk about how DARE he talk about my father who is the most awesome dad in the world.
then tonight i came home from work and was watching trading spaces and he just made loud comments about EVERY SINGLE thing they did and how stupid it was and bad it looked. so we're sitting at dinner and i turned off the show cause i didn't want to hear them talk through it. then mom goes "now we can't see the rest of how they ruin their kitchen" and i said "it's not my fault you have boring taste" and al yells at me "knock it off ave" and of course i shot back at him "no" cause i don't take any shit from him.
***end of drama*
ok i really needed to get that out cause i have no one to talk to about it. i have never missed my friends so much. i'd give anything to be hanging out with rachel, chris, or will.
this friday i have off and i'm taking the metro into dc and spending the day by myself at the fdr memorial along the tidal basin with my sketchbook. i'm looking forward to it. then i'll probably meet steve and jules for happy hour. sunday jules has already told me i have to come visit so i will be doing that.
i've decided if worst comes to worst and al has not moved out by the time rachel comes we'll stay at dads and i'll let her have my bed and i'll sleep on the floor.
ok this has taken me an hour to write so i'm just gonna end and do something more productive then complain. i think i shall apt hunt in san fran or berkeley. i think i need to just move and get a crappy job while i continue to look so i can go to interviews and be local.
