i really need to blog more often here. no one will read it so i can really speak my mind. so it's been way over a year since i've miniblogged. so let's make this a long one. it's been a god awful week so it'll probs be about that.
so!
my parents are completely driving me crazy. my boyfriend too. i'm really suprised he's still around cause they're so bad. my car was totaled last week, and i loved the thing to death. i want another volkswagen, but they are convinced they're too overpriced so i can't get one. so i've opened up some options, and i really like the pontiac g6. i found an 05 that's reasonably priced (slightly under $10k) , low miles, and awesome color. took it for a test drive and i really like it. my dad thinks there's a "shimmy" when it stops. okay, have the dealer look at it. not only that, but my father thinks that since pontiac went out of business, they'll stop making parts, so years from now when i'm in need of some parts, they'll be expensive and hard to find. which is possible, but there are so many pontiacs on the road, there will be parts available. so i went from wanting another volkswagen to settling (and really liking) a pontiac. i'm really limited budgetwise, mind you, and it fits my budget. however, both parents are convinced they need to find me a different car. so today, we went to go look at a mercury milan. yeah they're a nice car, but oh my god do you really see a 19 year old driving that? i think not. yeah it may be an 06 with 19k miles on it, but it's so not for me. it hasn't been cleaned yet and there is CAT HAIR all over the thing! even without noticing that at first, i said to them it looks like a 60 year old hermit cat lady or man would drive this. point taken. maybe not for them. yes, it got better reviews, but people still complained about it. the g6 got good reviews too, but complained about bad power seats and the cd player breaking. the milans complaints is that its hard to back up. i feel like that's a bit more important, no?
so this whole week has been ungodly frustrating. i've found other good cars i like online, call them, they're sold. this one i like hasn't been sold, is online, is 4 miles away from my home, and is a safe car my parents want, with everything i want. but for some reason i guess cause i like it, the parents won't let me get it. okay, let me get the $14k car instead in which I DONT HAVE MONEY FOR. yeah i work, but 24 hours a week won't cut it. plus, i need a car asap before i move back to school. granted, i'm going to a new school, which is a story in and of istelf which caused a lot more unwanted stress with my parents. but i'll save time. let's just say, my parents have changed. the extended family can't stand them and are on my side no matter what. they've turned crazy, and i don't know what it is, aside from me growing up and not listening to them anymore. i'm my own person with my own opinions and can't be their robot slave daughter anymore. they need to learn that. heck, i'm even starting to sketch out my wedding dress. granted, i probably won't be getting married for another 2-3 years, but still. i plan on making it. which might be the coolest but dumbest thing i've ever decided to do. hey, if i start now, i might finish the night before the wedding day, right? :) i just think it would be so awesome to tell my future spawn that i made my own wedding dress. and to shove it in my parents faces. i doubt they'd pay for the wedding anyway, even though it's customary for the bride's parents to pay for the wedding. better start saving now. oh wait i can't i gotta help buy myself a car.
thanks for doing your job, parents. oh wait. nevermind you don't. i have to fully support myself on a part time job at a grocery store. at least my boyfriend is going to apply for a manager position. he'll be a 23 year old produce manager for publix. hell yes. i'll be just some lame ass student with hardly any money and shitty parents that have mentally abused me. but my one psychology class i took definitley helped me see their mental abuse and i'm slowly starting to overcome the effects even though they still abuse me to this very day. they're damn hypocritical, then tell me i'm disrespectful, a princess, a bitch, spoiled, a child, never good enough, blah blah blah. when i basically help support myself? yeah, you're paying for my school and car/health/life insurance. congrats. that's what you're supposed to do. plus support them in everyday life, not just financially, but emotionally too. i've told you i've had back and sleep problems for almost a year now, and every time all i get is a "oh well, tomorrow we'll look into it." you mean tomorrow as in the day that's always a day away and never the current day? okay, i can deal with that... just don't get my hopes up that my back pain and insomnia will actually go away at some point.
i'm just fed up with having my soul crushed by them. i don't know how i've lasted this long, and i don't think i can last much longer than this. if anyone that actually read part or some of this has any advice or input, feel free.
as of right now, i feel like getting the car I WANT, running away, and maybe even eloping. (even though i'd love to make my own dress, i wouldnt have time for that... ;D)
oh well. that's all for now. maybe i'll start updating this more often.. it's not like i have a myspace, facebook, twitter, livejournal, and vampirefreaks account to take care of :)
