A Little Petty...I know.
The purpose of this blog was to vent and by God that is what I plan to do right now. No more realisations about myself and life changing experiences or whatever crap I've preivously written about.
I have a serious problem with tight-arses. Does an 18 who works a significant amount of hours a week still deserve to get lunch money from her Mum?? I don't think so, yet this is an ongoing practise in my house, which I think has to stop! My sister is the lucky benficiary of this overly kind act and I'm pissed off because theoretically I could have had my lunches paid for by Mum during the 3 years I attended Uni. Considering I bought my lunch almost everyday, one only has to do the math in order to ascertain that this could have been quite a saving. Nevertheless, my new moto is that what doesn't kill you is "character building" and learninig to budget on a Uni student's income was surely a skill that will benefit me later on in life. And besides, all of you who know me, know very well that I have it pretty good at home, so I truely have very little to complain about...but whatever!
Hopefully the next entry will be less glomy and more characteristic of how I feel most of the time.
Over & Out

Geez, chill out, psycho!

Seriously, that's one of the most watered down explosions ever. You were like GET READING FOR VIOLENCE and then you gave me a bunny that missed his favourite TV show or something. A rant, yes, but you have much to learn about bitching out society.
I do think that double standards are frustrating, in any case. It's especially annoying, though, when it's in the family. Sibling rivalry is bad enough without double standards.
It's a bit of a two-way road, though. Being the younger brother, I think my sister feels like my parents are more relaxed with me. She's not hugely pissed off about it, but it's like she had to go through curfews and shit, and I just rock up whenever I like and say "No worries, your older kid survived."
On the other hand, my sister got away with other things, or had the assumption of being the good one because she was always setting an example. So there's different sort of favouritism, developments in rules and ideas. Maybe you weren't given something that they decided would be better to give to your sis. Maybe there are some things that you got away with that they won't give a chance to her.
You seem to have your head on about it, though, so that's good. I think I've ranted about it more than you actually did. In the big picture of things, you're right, you probably will use your money better for it. But right now, imagine all those free burgers you could have been enjoying!
Fuck, what a waste of your own cash!
:P
