Update *extended mix*
Hey all,
Things are for the most part good with me right now. I just have one thing that I need to get off my chest and I warn you it is pretty nasty.
On Friday just gone, I was lucky enough to see the new Harry Potter movie with a dear old friend of mine from High School. It is always good to see Liz since it is rare and we had a long lunch and catch-up about our lives. She mentioned that since her break-up with her boyfriend she had moved out and was in her own place. When she mentioned she was looking for a flatmate my ears pricked up. As many of you know, it has been my furvant desire to move out of the family home for quite a while now. Liz and I started seriously talking about this issue and it seemed that everything would work out with a minimum of fuss and hard work on anyone's part. The rent was going to be the same as I pay here *that's right, I pay rent in my own house* and moving things wouldn't be a problem since Liz has friends who would be able to help and I am sure I could find a few able hands as well. Liz and I left things with me to speak to Mum about the matter and just work out some hypertheticals...
What a fucking mistake that was.
I won't bore you with the full extent of the fight that insued... So here are the bullet points of her objections.
1. My moving out would mean the family could no longer aford to rent this house and the current rental market means they would be very hard pressed to find a three Bedroom place for what they are paying here.
2. If I left, I would take the Internet connection and cable TV with me since they could no longer aford either with me gone.
And Mum's idea on how to fix all this... The briliant methid by which I would ever be able to leave this place...
"You need to get a job and when you move... You still pay $100 a week to us. When we took this house, we took it as a family. As much as it hurts to say this, you would be seriously putting us out and if you had a job it wouldn't be an issue."
Needless to say, Mum and I haven't exactly spoken since then. Not only did she make me madder then I have ever been, she also sent me into a guiltt-ridden depressive spiral that caused me to have one of the biggest fights with Mel I have ever had. Not to worry, things are good there... But that isn't the point. The point is basicly that I am totally trapped in my own family until I can find work *over 400 rejections out-of-hand and counting* and even then I'll owe them money... How fucked is that??? I am hurt, angry, powerless and just need out.
On a much lighter note. The seventh and final Harry Potter book is released this coming weekend. I have ordered the Audio Book version of the book and it will arrive sometime over the next two weeks or so.
Standard warning":
Any and all members of my friends list found to have revealed any plot point, secret or even chapter name of this book will be instantly and forever be banished from my friends list and life. Yes, I am joking but at the same time won't be happy with anyone who says a word until I have read the book.
Hoping you are all well
