Ack. A long weekend it has been.
Saturday, my mom's friend/co-worker was working on Saturday, and couldn't leave her 10 year-old daughter home alone, so, she ended up coming over to our apartment. Her name is JJ, she's nice, rather quiet, but nice, and likes video games. Luckily for me Alex had to babysit at someone else's house, otherwise I proably would have not spent anytime with her, seeing as Alex is the gamer and I'm well.. not. In the morning we did very little, I watched her play a game, and she wanted to watch a movie, so we ended up watching Harry Potter and the goblet of fire, and found other things to do in the meantime before my mom took us to the library. Skipping to the library part..
I found 3 books I wanted to read! And I'm very satisfied that I do have something to read. I finished my first book, Red is for Rememberence (part of a series I've been reading), and I'm very satisfied with it. In the previous book of the series, we thought the author killed someone off, turns out haha, no that's not it. She ended up ending Red is for Rememberence is a really good way, which leaves me.. unsatisfied? Half of me was hoping for a tragic ending, the other half enjoyed the ending I got. Ah well, good book, I'll have to get my mom to actually buy the book, incase I want to re-read the series. My second book is the one I'm reading right now, You don't know me by David Klass. The book, so far, is really witty, I'll proably finish it soon and move onto my third book. My third book is Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock. Don't know much about it, but I saw it at half price books a few weeks ago, and liked the cover, but didn't read too much of the first part of the book to know if I'd want to buy it or not, so I'm happy that the library managed to buy it instead, so I don't have to waste money on a possible unsatisfying book. ^o^
After the library, my mom dropped us off at gamestop, and she went to Sally's to get more hair dye. I never knew how many games I actually wanted. Perhaps if I were to get games that interested me instead of playing the games the boys bought that they got, then maybe I would be more interested in video games then I am right now with what I have. I should look into buying a game or two I want with my *possible* birthday money. JJ ended up getting some new mech. pencils at Staples,which we stopped by after gamestop, and then we went back to gamestop, and my mom helped her pay for a Zelda game she wanted badly. Man, my mom's cool sometimes..
Now, lets skip to Sunday, when JJ leaves, and with my parents to work on a car that's located at JJ's house. (I think it was mom's friend/co-worker's ex-girlfriend's car which they were being payed to work on; that's what they said.) So, during the day, it was just Mikel, Alex, and I. Sounds like the average Sunday to me. And as the average weekend is, we got no time in Mikel's room to play the gamecube or the computer. Apparently we couldn't play the computer because we got the blue screen of death, and a virus or two, and like 3k worth of spyware on our computer. And suprisingly, a virus came from my side, and I'm the one who doesn't go looking at porno sites! Gah. So, something that would take a full hour to take for someone like Mikel, ended up taking the entire day because Mikel didn't want to fix it, despite it being his computer and such. "It's my day off, leave me alone!" he said. >.> I don't even know if he did fix it or not. I think he didn't fix it right away yesterday because he didn't want us in his room (the same room he claimed to be the family room since there was game systems and a computer in his room). Pain in the ass, we spent the entire day being bored. I ended up finishing my first book that day, though...
Let's skip to 8:00PM. My parents had promised to make fried chicken and told us not to eat anything until they came home. Nothing, the weren't home at 8:00PM, and we have no phone to remind them. Luckily Jen, Mikel's girlfriend, had a cellphone she let us borrow. The finally came home at 9:00PM, I scolded Mom, and waited for dinner to be ready. We didn't eat until 10:30PM. >.<;; I'm really getting sick of Mom telling me something, and not doing it, and/or being late about it. Maybe it's a little selfish of me, but I'm looking out for myself right now, and my mom isn't looking out for herself or her children. It's always what dad wants. If dad wants her over at her friend's house while he paints and doesn't even get to talk to her, she'll go over there. It's like she's a trained slave, and he's the master. This really can't go on anymore. She told me she wanted to continue schooling, and find what works for us instead of just giving up, but if she keeps acting like a trained slave, then how will that work out for us? It's sad to say dad's fighting for her attention as much as we are, and winning. You'd think parents would put their children, and paying attention to them, as their first priority, eh?
I'm super whiney after the weekend... |
