NaNo Woes & Reality Woes
So, firstly... NaNo. Ew. I was so looking forward to NaNo and taking a month of fanfiction. Fanfiction has been making me mad lately so I was really happy to work on some original fiction - especially as I'd had this idea for some time now. Now that I'm writing original, every idea for fanfiction under the sun is coming to my brain and it's all I want to write. This would not be an issue if I had the time to do both, but I don't. I only have time to do one or the other, and I am just struggling to find the motivation to NaNo right now. I am well above schedule, but I'm not happy with what I'm writing. Ugh. But I am determined to finish regardless of the crapness. Even if I hate it all afterwards, I still wrote 50k, right?
Secondly. Life. Ugh. I live in a house with 3 other girls. One, I knew was moving out with her boyfriend at the end of this year. That was always going to be the case. We were prepared for that. We already had a new housemate lined up and everything. All was good. Then, a few days ago, another housemate announced she was leaving, too. This said housemate has been struggling all semester to the point that no one knew what to do with her. She wouldn't talk to us, she always seemed to be in a shitty mood, so we just stayed well out of her way.
I love this housemate. I really do. She's the sweetest, kindest person you'll ever meet. Truly. But she's very family-oriented to the point that she (an adult) lets her parents make all her decisions for her. From what used to be a visit about once a month, these visits from her parents turned into weekly, sometimes more. They'd rearrange OUR house, add things of theirs to it, and interfere quite a bit. It became really frustrating, but what could we say? These were her parents.
It is obvious her parents have made this decision with her. She hasn't been coping, and we think that her mother has made her leave because we basically weren't treating this housemate like our own child and catering to her every need. WE ARE NOT THERE TO ACT AS HER MOTHER. Housemate is oblivious to it all, and if she were aware, I know she would feel terrible. It's just her mother.
And yesterday, they basically came and packed up everything that she's brought into the house without a question of 'do you need help finding anything we're taking?' Nope, they just packed it all up and it's just going to be sitting there for a over a week and we can't even use parts of our house basically because of all the shit.
And, today (because she still lives here technically) me and her were looking at how to change a light bulb in the kitchen, and he mum comes storming in really rudely and says to her daughter 'why are you doing this? Why can't someone else do it? You should be packing.' Um, hello, this housemate changes all the freaking light bulbs in the house because she knows how to. Housemate was happy to do it and apologised for what her mother said, but her mother... OMG. Up until a few days ago, I actually really liked her mother.
We've offended her for some unknown reason and now she's just stormed her ADULT daughter out of this house without a care in the world. Like, ugh. Ugh. She still fucking lives here. And to be honest, I am currently hiding in my room because I don't feel welcome in MY hoiuse
