Blood Puppets!
I want to be one, haha.
No, I'm not really sure what I'm talking about. Apparently they are characters in some game Rich has been playing. I just thought they sounded cool. :p
I had coffee from Starbucks just a few hours ago, so it's bound to be a loooooooong night. We were in B&N, so I could have gotten a slice of cheesecake, but I decided to try their carrot cake instead. It was just okay; I probably won't get it again. You know what I always say though-- you don't know if you don't try.
Didn't do much today. Went to Whole Foods as planned, spent far too much money. I'm gonna have to force myself to just live off of what I have in the house for the next week or two, which doesn't make me happy AT ALL. But what's my favorite Assassins quote again? I probably don't need to reiterate it. . .
Got the bill from URI for the fall semester. It's not TOO much, but my parents are going to have to pay at LEAST half of it because I didn't manage to save any money this summer. Blah (it's partly my fault since I only worked 32 hours instead of 40, but I honestly needed those extra 8 free hours to help retain my sanity). Besides, they were supposed to pay for my summer course, but who ended up paying the bill? Yeah, that was me. I never ask my parents to pay for anything, but it does piss me off when they SAY they'll give me money for this or that and then they conveniently "forget" when the time comes. Like I remember awhile ago, I was really low on money because I was working in the computer labs and I needed to pay for a lot of extra expenses (for whatever reason), so my parents were like "oh, we know you spend a lot of money on groceries, so just give your Mom a list and we'll buy your food for you." This happened ONE time. Everytime I tried bringing it up afterward, all I got were excuses why they couldn't.
My parents like to *act* as though we don't have much money. And maybe we don't. But then, at least before they started getting ready to move, they BOTH spend lots of money on stupid, entirely useless crap all the time. A few years ago, my Mom went out and bought a really gaudy grandfather clock to put in our gathering room. My Dad was so mad at her for spending a big chunk of money on such an unneeded, ugly thing that HE went out and bought an expensive telescope-- just to get back at her! Guess how many times he's ended up using it?
Once. That's it. And I think he plans on getting rid of it before we move.
And there have been many other instances. Like I said, it's not that I expect them to be spending money on *me*, I am 23 afterall, but if they *offer* to help me out, then they should follow through. So I'm worried about them "not being able" to pay for my fall classes, but without their help, there's no way I can. Grrrr.
I still wish that my Mom would get a job. If I were my Dad, I would not have put up with her mooching for so many years. There's no reason why she can't, she just doesn't WANT to. God forbid that anything should get in the way of her exercise classes. She probably spends more time at the Y than some of the employees do. @_@ And then I love how she gets on *my* case about finding a job after I graduate. Mom, you should not be talking about such things.
This turned into a sorta rant, didn't it? hehe
Oi, I don't know. I'm gonna try to find something to eat in Rich's kitchen and then I guess I'll just be nearby in case anyone comes online later.
