ok i'm just going to have a huge rant so please ignore lol i just need to get everything out

I hate my life at the moment, my mom is like the devil at the moment i've tried being civalised with her for the past couple of days and she's thrown it back in my bloody face, my dad kinda understands where i'm coming from but told me to be nicer and i explained to him what was going on and he just left telling me 'remember she's your mother' and i'm like well she isn't acting like it at the moment.

So fed up, and on monday my dinner would have gone cold if i hadn't have gone down when i did because it was left on the side and she couldn't be bothered to tell me that it was cooked because she normally will tell me before she goes down between 5 and half past that it will be done in about 10 minutes and it was 5.55 and i thought it was strange that she hadn't said anything so i go down and it's there on the side, so i'm like thanks for telling me.

*hugs Charlie* Not much but dude, that's all I got...

[Charmed_Charlee]

thanks *hugs back*

it's just that i'm coming up to an important year well my last in school and i'm gonna need either a laptop or computer to get coursework done so you know

[SassyLostie2]

*hugs Charlie too*

I've definitely had those days with my mom,and my dad is understanding, but says pretty much the same things. Just sometimes my mom is extra stressed and upset and I just have to stay outta the way and be extra nice. I've gotten used to it, and she feels bad about it later...but it really pisses me off when it happens. It just seems like everything I do, I get yelled at for, or get this vibe that it annoys her, and I did nothing that normally annoys. But I knwo that she loves me and it's just some problem she's having or whatev. nNthing serious. I just deal. Sorry about your problems, but I do understand. *hugs again*

thanks *hugs back* yeah, it's just like that, everything i do is pissing her off. If i try and stay out of her way she's having a go at me and then if i'm downstairs she blanking me like i don't exsist and if i ask something its one word answers in a different tone to how she normally speak to me and she's taking it out on me. I'm actually happy between 9-2.30 because she's at work (i know that sounds mean) but it's true

[SassyLostie2]

It's ok, Charlie. I'm sure that it will pass. I just remember that we don't always know everything that goes on in our parents' lives and she may be dealing with something that she's not ready to talk about yet. I'm sure that things will be alright soon. Once I realized that this happens sometimes and she tried to explain (afterwards of course), I just tried to be extra helpful and compassionate when she needed it, and stay out of her way when she needed that. It's not all the time of course, not often, and I'm not complaining, I love my mom. I just knwo how you feel and know how degrading it can feel, since you didn't do anything wrong. Just try not to get too annoyed.

yeah it's just the one comment which pissed me off a while ago was when she said she could get the money for a new the computer but she won't and that i can stick with this and if it breaks it breaks it's not her problem. That's what got to me because she picked on the thing which is bugging me the most and that i need a new laptop or computer i'm not really fussed

My mother has uttered this in differnt ways so many times so i feel our pain and send you *double hugs* I know just where you're coming from and i can assure you it will pass but i how utterly frustrating mothers can be, and i count my mum and I as extremely close, but that also means we have killer fights you could sell tickets too anyways, stay calm and cool and you'll get through your last year *extra hug*

Rant!

I'm flipping through the TV channels. I see 'Dark Waters.' I think it is the movie with Jennifer Connolly and Tim Roth. For those of you playing at home, I have a geeky crush on Tim Roth and have had since I was about 11 and saw 'Reservoir Dogs.'

I turn to the SciFi Channel. It is not the Tim Roth film, which is actually named 'Dark Water.' No, it is a different movie, with one letter more, released one year earlier, with the following plot:

Quote:

The creator of bioengineered sharks must destroy the escaped animals before they begin a feeding frenzy off the Florida coast.

It stars some girl named Simmone Mackinnon, whose previous credits include 'Baywatch' and 'Python 2.'

It also stars Lorenzo Lamas.

I am watching it anyway, because it's late enough that I don't care if it's crap, but man - from Tim Roth to Lorenzo Lamas. What a comedown in terms of acting ability.

I feel your pain. I have done the same thing. The only thing to be done, is that you have to learn that if it's on the sci-fi channel, there's a very VERY large chance that it will, in fact, be a sci-fi original - thus, crap. *shrug* I actually like 'bad' movies sometimes, and find it fun to laugh at the atrocities on the sci-fi channel. I'm reminded of the many hilarious (yet not meaning to be hilarious) lines on a certain 'Sabertooth'.

"I will not let you kill my creation!!" How corny is that? Reminds me of Frankenstein or something.... or - "Stop it, STOP IT I CREATED YOU"

"We found the toilet paper, now where's Jason!?!?" *dies* The dude went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and got eaten, so the next day they look for him and only find the roll of toilet paper.

And my favorite - "He could be right behind me and I wouldn't even know it!" - *promptly gets eaten, cuz it was behind her*

The moral of the story? Don't get your hope sup when it's on the Sci-Fi channel.

See, that was my own rant and me commenting on yours at the same time!

I'm in a happy mood now, because earlier i think my mom must have felt bad about what happened between us, because she is talking to me now and i was given the choice earlier between 2 laptops or the computer i was looking at the other day so hopefully in the next week i will have either a new laptop or computer til my bday or xmas comes then i get the laptop i want

[SassyLostie2]

That's awesome, Charlie! *hugs* See? I knew that things would work out.

I know I should be ranting, but I'm happy too, actually. I went to the DMV and finally passed my driver's test! Well, the first time i failed the written test, and then the lady was correcting it today and said - "Oh, you missed it by one" and I was thinking somethin along the lines of - "$#%$ %#$!" and then she's like - "Oh wait, sorry. That's for the wrong license. You passed." LOL! I was so relieved, especially since they said that it was a really hard test, and if I'd waited until I was 18 (I'll turn 18 in 2 weeks) I would have gotten an easier one. Not sure why...Oh well. Finally tho! I need to be able to drive myself to work and college, anyway.
