Catching up

It seems like forever since my last real post. I've been having issues with my laptop at home, and the IT nazis don't make it easy to blog here at work. So a quick recap of what you all have missed:

I got in a huge fight with my brother Jeff over, well, nothing really. I finally stood up to him and told him that just because he's doing me a favor by letting me stay with him doesn't give him the right to treat me like shit. He didn't like that. I decided to leave to cool off and he said if I walk out the door I can't come back. So I slammed the door behind me. I don't take well to threats, especially empty ones. I went to my other brother's house with the intention of staying the night, and sure enough Jeff called about an hour later worried about me. He didn't say it in so many words, but he wanted to know where i was and who i was with. I told him he should've thought about that before he told me not to come home. I stayed with Paul for 2 days then went back home. Jeff and I didn't talk for another 3 days, until I took his dog to the dog park. He said that was cool of me, and thanked me and we've been cool since.

You obviously know the deal with Chester. Married, kids, brand new baby... not much more to say than that. I changed his name in my phone to Scott Peterson, so I know not to answer when he calls.

Mama's Boy is really laying it on thick. He texts me every single morning with stuff like "Good morning cutie, I hope you have an amazing day." or "Good morning baby, I hope you slept well." I can already see it. I'm going to move back in 2 weeks and he's going to ask to get back together, when I tell him no he's going to bring up all the nice texts he sent me and ask if those count for something. I can read him like a book.

I can't believe I only have 2 1/2 weeks until I move. I'm so sad. Every day I think about how bad I want to stay, and how much this is going to suck. My dad got fired from his job in NM because they found out he was interviewing with that company in Fresno. He got the job in Fresno, and was just waiting on the background check to go through before he got an official offer. Well, when they saw he had a bankruptcy on his credit they changed their mind. So, he lost the stable job he had and isn't getting the job he was sure he was going to get. He's 58, has absolutely NO savings or retirement, lives alone, and is in horrible health. So he's got that going for him, which is nice.

I had a talk with my little sister (who's a sophomore in college) the other day and she told me that she's had sex with 5 guys since she lost her virginity a year ago. I talked to her for a long time about disease, pregnancy, her reputation, and all of the other consequences that come from making stupid decisions. I made her promise me that she would slow down, but I know she just promised me to shut me up. I'm going to kill her. It just frustrates me that she doesn't learn anything from watching me go through all the hell I've been through because of the same stupid decisions. I don't want her to go through any of the things I did.
