my mother informed me last night that she doesn't feel comfortable talking to me about anything, so she's going to write me a letter about her thoughts on this past weekend. i ended the phone conversation with something like "i just need to get rid of you" and hung up the phone on her. i think perhaps we're officially not speaking. maybe this is better, because no one else i know ever makes it a point to tell me exactly how mentally ill and incapable of surviving i am, not to mention how terribly mean and caustic. no one else seems to see me in those ways. i don't really know why.

my housemate is in austria for a week visiting her parents. she said the kids would mostly be away at their dad's house, but so far this is bogus. i'm thinking of moving out sometime in the next couple of months because her daughter gets on my nerves so much. i guess it just surprises me that she's such a snot, because i always liked older people when i was thirteen. if we'd had a 22 year old housemate we probably would have been good friends....but i guess most kids aren't like i was. i was a fuckin' wierdo. still am.

my family really needs to stop asking me about my love life...especially my aunt...because i've never had one and i'm never going to...

I know I'm fairly new around here so excuse my ignornace but, how did you come to live with these people?

And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one getting the love life questions from the family. When I was home for Easter my mom asked, "Do you plan on getting married anytime soon?" My answer? Not if I can help it. :) Speaking of, what happened to that personals guy?

if smurfs are blue, i'm still single

I put an ad in a roommate-referral service online, and my housemate (Susanne) responded...I chose that place because my room's really nice, and she's a professional cellist (I've played cello since I was about nine). I thought the kids would be cool with me, because I'm pretty hip and all and I have a latent big-sister urge. (Didn't go exactly as I'd planned!!)

My aunt and grandmother ALWAYS ask me if I'm dating anyone...I believe they think i'm sexually frustrated and that my life will suddenly be magic once I'm getting laid. Heh. Maybe I could block it from my mind if they'd stop ASKING! And the personals guy just disappeared---I emailed him back, and he hasn't written since. Grr.

Good luck with that interview, by the way!!

I have a black Smurf.. what do you think that means?

Hmmm, that's exactly why I am nervous about searching for a roommate that way. You just never know for sure what's going to happen. Call me paranoid if you will. You ought to just take the cello stick (bow?) and just smack the kid. That's big-sisterly in my book. :)

Hah! Sounds just like my family. I don't know if they think I'm sexually frustrated (though they'd probably be right)... more like I think they believe me to be a lesbian. Ah well, whetever they want to think. I think all family members should be banned on asking about love lives of relatives. Uh huh. (As for the personals guy, pshaw! Who needs 'em anyway! Pretty hip chick like you could do much better!)

And thank you, by the way!!

it means your smurf has gone Goth....has it started wearing Joy Division shirts yet? ;)

aww...it's not that it hasn't worked out at ALL. in some ways it's great. my housemate (the mom) is a real doll---she offers me leftovers and doesn't get witchy about dishes, and she's going to give me a free cello lesson. :) i just wish things were more friendly between her kids and i. it might actually just be that we're all shy---but i do get some snotty vibes from the daughter. i don't know. but don't count out referral services. they're not too bad. :)

yeah, i'm frustrated myself, for sure, but it's not like they're helping by bringing it up! how embarrassing! isn't it good enough that we're on the brink of a career? (or whatever?) sheesh!! ;) and i'm not worried about the personals guy at all...i gave him my website address, maybe the content put it off for some reason---if so we'd never have gotten along anyway. boys are dumb. to hell with 'em!! (or, some slightly less militant sentiment)
