like i don't have enough problems w/out you.
because why should anyone go even three days w/out their relatives sticking their noses in their business?
... ok, ignoring for a moment the horrible grammar of that sentence, let's move straight on to The Problem:
my grandmother.
the woman called yesterday evening to speak to my mother. the conversation was blessedly short. she comes back into the computer room where my newly exhasted sister and i are enjoying my sound-gasm-causing combo of new speakers and new sound card.
carolyn says, "well that was short."
meredeth says, "that's why no one's dead."
mom laughs. and then relates the contents of the conversation.
<sarcasm>grandma</sarcasm> is going to give us each $1000.
a) $1000? jesus woman, you're such a cheapskate, i always assumed you were broke! and b) so, when you made me your Godfather offer the other day, you were already thinking that you would just give us both $1000. so basically, you only called to be false and "give us a good talking to," as i'm sure you considered it.
what a lying, cheating, Bitch. maybe i'll just make you match my funds AND give me $1000. maybe i'll take your money and continue holding you in contempt, just as i've always done. if you think for a moment that you can buy my affection, than you go right ahead and try. i'll keep on bad-mouthing you until such time as you become an actually good person, instead of some kind of snake-like devil woman, desperetely playing at being a good person.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but enough of that foolishness. i got a new soundcard. and it's Pretty. it's one of these: sound blaster live! 24-bit. now some of you are thinking, what? you're excited over that? well, yes, when your on board sound isn't even powerful enough to power a 2.1 speaker system, you're bound to get excited about even the most basic of sound cards. it is quite beautiful to hear sound out of both speakers rather than just the right one. and the subwoofer? possibly man's greatest acheivment since sporks.
but today is supposed to be a happy day. today marks the beginning of the one month countdown before my birthday! i'll be 24! yea!!! so i'm not gonna get down about any of this crap. maybe her thousand bucks'll just let me buy myself that birthday present i've always wanted, a laptop. or perhaps the elimination of any one of my many bills. that would be a super birthday present! yummy.







and then take her to the bank.
and make her drain her accounts for us.
and then i could get a nice car.
and then you could pay all your bills.
and then michael could by a bigger mp3 player and give me his old one.
and then we could make her live on the street.
and then we could ignore her pleas for help.
and we could give her the reason that she's an ASSHOLE for why we won't help her.
i like this plan....
let's take a trip to tennessee.
