Re: Skanky old man, and the damn holidays

Ok, I figured out the skanky old man, but didn't have time to blog about it. After the "give me a break" talk in the corridor, I woke up the next day to see a letter sticking on my door. I'll just give you the highlights:

"Please don't think me a prude. I believe everyone should be as passionate and loud as they feel they should or want to be" So of course, I had thought he meant the tv, I read this and say WTF?? SEX?? Not me. I wish I was so lucky. I was so pissed. He was more or less calling me a whore (oh yea, my bro was sleeping on the floor for this week too). So I assume he thought bro was my lover...let's not go there...What an ass right? Icky. "So please, keep your lovemaking down after 10:30, or perhaps take it to your living room if you need to be loud." O_o !?! "I have waited over a month to complain." Ok, dude, first of all, don't wait that long. Secondly, I'm uber jealous, I myself want to go kick these people's asses. I hope they're enjoying it since I can't :(

So anyway, long story short, I run into him after getting his note (bro and I ran out to lunch, came back and saw him). So I say, "yo, you got the wrong person" and we hash it out. So it's all cool, he's "soooo sorry" and he gets to go bitch at other people. I figure out later, this was probably the reason he asked for the garbage bag that one day. He probably wanted to talk to me, but my mom answered the door, and he can't really say to my mom, "hey, I may be over 40, but I just want to chat with your daughter in private" so he asks for a bag instead. And, he apologized so many times, and gave me a starbucks gift receipt. Luckily I haven't seen him again. I hope he just forgets it, it's too awkward and icky. I'd feel best if he never talked to me again, but we're neighbors so that's unlikely.

Ok, on to the damn holidays. From all the holidays I've ever had, I believe it is an inherent impulse of families to terrorize each of it's members. First of all, my mom had been here for a month before my bro came. 1 month of a mother is bad enough, not to mention I gotta spend another month with her and the rest of the family. Yes, I know I probably sound like an ungrateful brat who doesn't appreciate her family. But I think mothers have this speech frequency that just drives their kids crazy. I can hear the sound of her voice and I wanna fly off the deep end and hit her or run away and hide and not have to hear or speak to her. Although, I do annoy her in the same way. Must me a bad mixture when kid frequencies and mother frequencies mix. Not to mention the fact my mom is a VERY attention-needy, almost ADD, intense mother. She has to be with me EVERY second, and she wants to do everything with me. This is great and all, but I'm used to living by myself. And she needs attention. You can't understand this unless you know a needy person. She's like a hyper dog, she needs my attention constantly, she wants to play and be petted and talked to and walked and exercised and get new toys...It is insanely tiring.

Add to that the fact that both of my parents won't listen to us kids. The other day bro was riding with mom and dad, and they said "do you want to blah blah" and bro said "no, I'm tired" and they said "ok" and then went to go do their errands that he said he didn't want to do! I mean hello?? And they'll call me up and say "wake up, let's go eat lunch" I reply, "no, I don't feel like it today" them: "we'll be there in five minutes, get ready" me: "no, I don't ...." *CLICK* and then they show up and it's tornado mom and dad again. I've had to kick them out of the apartment, tell them they can't talk to me or come over. I feel bad doing it, but they are driving me insane, and wearing me out physically and mentally. And just think, I've had mom for almost 2 months now, B has only seen her like this for a week and he is already as annoyed as I am.

As to everything else, it was about 65 degrees today...in december. how crazy is that. I love it. B and I saw Life Aquatic. freaking weird. more weird than royal tanenbaums or however you spell that. I'm not sure yet if I liked it. I don't think I'd ever buy it, but it was still pretty good. We saw Darkness tonight. I liked that, although the ending sucked, and I mean majorly sucked. I bet the spanish version is much better. Oh, and I went back to a MUD I used to play a long time ago (7 years?). I've found some people from back then, we're all the oldies. It's a fantasy/midevil kinda game, but now it seems like everyone is all crazy about anime (you can make a picture for your title, and I'd say atleast 85% of the people use anime images). I mean that's fine and all, but it's a fantasy game, just seems like they'd use more fantastic images, like Elfwood, Whelan, Royo, etc. Right now it seems like the whole land is in civil war. I'm not quite sure yet what is going on, but it's a fun way to waste time.

I guess that's it for now
