rotten day
I still don't come here often enough, but I'm just so frinkin' frustrated I have to vent somewhere!
So I've been living with my parent for the last few months and we agreed that when my student loan money comes next month that I would start paying rent. Well, today my grant money came, which is enough to pay my bills and give me a little bit extra. And when I say a little bit I mean four hundred. Now that may seem like nothing to some and a lot to others. To help put this in perspective I've been living off of an average of three hundred a month with two of that three going to cover bill, another twenty or forty to gas, and sixty to keeping me from going insane. I would probably still have gone insane if it wasn't for my sister's generousity.
So to get even just an extra four hundred is lot right now, and it couldn't come at a better time. It's my birthday this month, I'm planning on going to Ren Fair, and even more important, I'm down to one pair of warable pants. I've put off everything I absolutely could for so long that the things I really need have piled up. Plus, even when the loan money comes next month and we add rent to bills my budget is only just slightly better than it's been. This fourhundred means a heck of a lot to me.
Well, my nosy parents found out how much I got and have decided that rent needs to start this month instead. Saying that they won't be able to make thier bills without it. And if I believed them I would give it up without hesitation, but the truth is I don't believe them. I think they don't absolutely need that money, they just want it, becuase it'll make it easier on them. And while they constantly tell me they 'love' me, it sure feels like they're just being damn selfish.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they do need the money. But fuck them if they don't.
