Lies My Parents Told Me...
So, ok today was a decent day, but God my mother always pisses me off. She just rubs me the wrong way about 90% of the time. I try to be nice and play the good daughter and indulge her craziness but its hard to do. I swear to God, i think she's bipolar. And i dont mean that to be insultive or funny, i seriously think she is. Her moods go from crazy happy to screaming monster bitch without a moments notice. You never know whats gonna set her off and get you in trouble or get you yelled at and given nasty looks for the rest of the day.
Like ok tonight, i went to go get her from work and i called her on her cellphone to say i was there and she said oh good im walking out right now, so i said, ok im just driving around again so...hello? mom are you there? She hung up on me in the middle of a fucking sentence. So i drive back around, she gets in the car and i just kind of non-confrontationally ask her why she hung up on me. She laughs and says, "I was finished talking." Can you believe that shit? How rude is that? I was in the middle of a sentence but she was finished talking so she hung up on me. She does that all the time, hangs up on people when they're on the phone with her. Well actually she only does that with us, me, my sister and my dad.
With everyone else she's civil and uses her manner and actually says goodbye and allows them to finish a sentence, but with us, she's rude and just forgets how to be a civilized being. When she's at work, she'll call my dad at work and hang up on him and he says sometimes he'll keep talking for a second and say "ok, bye" just so he's not embarrassed that she hung up on him. And the thing is, in many of those instances where she hangs up on us abrubtly she's not even angry she's just gotten so used to it and has let it become such a bad habit that she does it as almost a second nature. Its so annoying and rude.
Anyway, i didnt really press that issue in the car too much, i mean i told her it was rude and she was like well you do it all the time to me, which is total bullshit. I have hung up on her 3 times in the last month or so because her abrupt hangups have gotten so ludicrously out of control that i wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine. She's been doing this for months.
Anyway a few minutes later in the car i said i wanted her to listen to this song from the new John Mayer c.d. Continuum, its called "Stop this Train" and i told her its my favorite from his new album. I said please listen to this its so pretty. So of course she immediately starts off with "this sounds stupid" which was just joking but it was annoying that i asked her to please listen and she's being all blah about it. Anyway, at one of my most favorite lines in the song, she of course asks a stupid question about whether or not my dad made dinner yet and i kind of put up my hand like hang on listen to this, and then as i was making a turn she totally got all drama queen, which she loves to do, and like grabbed the side of the door and the handle thing at the top, also referred to as the "oh shit bar" and was like whoa. Holy shit, i made that turn like a grandma snail, she just wanted to be all nonchalant about the song. So i was thouroughly annoyed with her and we finally go home and i just turned the song off and she was like laughing and i said, "i dont know why i try to show you anything, you're so snotty" and she said i was gonna ask you a question about the stupid song, bitch (she's always calling my sister and i bitches, even when she's not mad, but especially when she is) and i was like yeah right. So anyway that was that.
Then later her, my dad, and my sister all were gonn watch Lost, they had it on the DVR and hadn't yet watched it, I hate Lost so i went upstairs. After it was over, she and my sister came up and my mom started ranting about how messy it was upstairs and then she proceeded to sit there on the bed staring at me for about 2 minutes, while i was on the computer. Finally she said, "in case you can't tell, i want on the computer." Holy crap that pissed me off. The other day i told her the way she went about telling people to get off the computer was rude so i guess this was her mature alternative to that. Usually she'll come up here and if someone's on the computer she'll say "I need on" and then stand there and if youre not off in 12 seconds she flips. Its just so fucking rude and i told her that the other day when she did it, so tonight she just came in and stared at me for 2 minutes. Of course i knew what she wanted but i sat there like i didnt know, because honestly how hard would it be for her to say "hey i need on in just a minute ok , you can finish that up though" or something to that effect and hey the computer is all yours but her methods and lack of manners is infuriating. So of course i told her that was rude too and she was like "oh i forgot youre so perfect i should try to be more like you" and blah blah she basically did her crazy lady routine, which she does from time to time.
So i went downstairs and my dad was like "what happened?" and i told him. He starts off on how i just have to let her do it and deal with it and i got upset and said he's always making the things that she does ok, no matter how rude. And he got a little upset and was like "just listen ok, you know she's gonna do it, you know there's nothing you can do to change her so why fight it." And he has a point but its so crappy.
Anyway she came back down and she was fine (coughbipolarcough) and she said she was going to bed. She wanted William to sleep with her and i said just make sure to leave the door open a little, and she said "im not stupid, i hate you, get out" and i laughed and said you sounded like a 5 year old. She laughed and it was fine. I went upstairs and was gonna get on the computer and of course she turned the fucking thing off. So i turned it back on and went down, burst through her closed door (which i admit was rude and bad for me to do) and said "why would you turn the computer off, you knew i was gonna get back on, thats so inconsiderate." She said dont come bursting into my room like that, all the things you dont like that i do, you do too, get out." I said she acted like such a kid and went upstairs. Then she called me down, well more like yelled my name and started yelling at me. She said if i didnt like the way she did things and if i was so tired of everything i should move out. Belive me if i made enough money and i didnt love my brother so damn much i would have a long time ago. Anyway i laughed and said its nothing about me disliking you i just dislike how rude and inconsiderate you are towards all of us but how you treat Samantha and Ashley like queens. Samantha and Ashley are her half sisters whom she recently, well a few months ago, started talkig with and hanging out with more often. They are 1 year older and 1 year younger than me and one has 3 kids, the other has 4. She treats them like they're the salt of the earth, best thing since Buffy the Vampire Slayer (lol) and treats us like crap. She said god youre so jealous of them, and said yeah you treat them so much better and we're youre fucking family right here. If they all had to live together all the time they wouldnt be so buddy buddy, i guarantee that.
Anyway she's just so rude and it annoys the shit out of me that she's the supposed adult and she gets to be the name-calling, hanging up on, in your face yelling, drama queen that she wants to be and thrives on and we just have to let it happen cuz she's some kind of nutcase walking a thin line.
Anyway, other things about today: I got my iPod back finally! I made sure i put it in my purse as soon as i got to work today and it is now safely on my bed where it belongs. And yesterday after waxing poetic about my iPod lol, i checked it out, and it looks like they didnt even touch it, much less look at it, so for that i am grateful to them.
Oh yea i forgot, i got a letter in the mail the other day that says i have jury duty in a few weeks. That's crazy. I've never had jury duty before, im nervous annoyed and a little excited all at the same time. I wonder what its gonna be like.
The title of this post is also the title of one of my very favorite episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Lies My Parents Told Me" from Season 7. Its an episode with Spike as the main plot, realizing why the trigger is significant and coming to terms with what he did as a new vampire so long ago and just basically having an epiphany. I absolutely love the episode and the title seemed to fit my rant a litte, well they both have to do with parents lol.
That's all for now. It's still pretty early i may post something else in a little bit on livejournal, lol, or upload some more pics. The night is young and i have nothing to do tomorrow, no work, no getting up early, no pressing plans, just going to Target lol. William was fine today by the way, sweet as ever, but he has been getting a bit more fiesty lately, maybe he can be called Spike yet. lol.
