(no subject)
Okay, tell me how this makes sense.
My brother is in Iraq. Clearly, I am not. I need a laptop for school before August so I'm not still getting used to it by time I start class. It's the middle of June.
I have the money to get a new computer, however, my mom keeps bitching about how I need to get my eldest brother's ( the one NOT in Iraq) input because I'm so dumb and computer illiterate that I am incapable of choosing a computer that would best suit my needs.
My military brother said that there was a chance that he would be coming home next month and that I should hold off until he got there so he could get all the stuff saved on his current laptop off and onto the one he plans on buying when he gets back. This is all well and good until he tells me that the battery life is only about an hour and a half and I'd have to buy a new one.
Also, that now, he's probably not even coming back because the odds are that he's going to be sent to Afghanistan.
My mom is still adamant on me not buying a computer, and instead insists on using the money I have to save up for a car, which neither of my brothers had to do. They were both given cars for college and barely went. Here I am, actually needing a car, with no way to pay for one (I'm not allowed to get a job, and just as well as I wouldn't be able to get there) and suddenly my parents decide that to extend me this curtesy would just be OFF THE FUCKING WALL.
This would be fine if they'd told me that I wouldn't be getting my brother's car, which leaves me with a month and a half to somehow accumulate $3,000 so I can fucking get to and from school which would probably be pointless because I have no computer to do work on.
I realize how much of a spoiled brat I sound like because I'm whining about not having a car or a computer, but it's kind of a huge fucking deal because I'm tired of having to rely on my parents for anything and everything and not being able to any sort of decision by myself.
It's like they're doing this shit just to keep me here forever, and I'm fucking tired.
Ugh, no, Superboy, not even you can make me happy right now.
