Good and bad
On the Yay! side of things: I've paid for everything (cell phone, DoE loan, credit card, ISP) already, so the next paycheck is mostly for fun. Well, fun and paying off the credit card even more, because I sort of went over the limit (and then was even worse because of fines and fees and that's the stupidest thing about banks). But next paycheck is going to be about $300, so I can pay $150 off the card and still have some money to play with.
On the Not!Yay! side of things: Sister still horrible to mom. They tried to go shopping yesterday, and of course it didn't work. Mom was mostly-not-joking about moving out. I really want to drop-kick my sister most of the time, but when she makes my mom cry I want to shoot her someplace painful with my arrows.
I want to tell her to stop being such a self-centered, stuck-up, passive-aggressive, mean, callous bitch, especially to our mother who of all people does not deserve to be treated like this. I want to tell her that it's really no wonder to me that she doesn't have a lot of friends, doesn't have a boyfriend, doesn't have a better job, or anything like that, because she thinks the world revolves around her and that's not particularly conducive to getting anywhere in life.
But of course, then I'd sound like a bitch, she'd get all self-riteous, Daddy would get pissed and have to pop a nitro, and I don't even know what mom would do.
And I think I just found out that my dad's being sued (or at least needs a legal-type mediator), which explains why he's been so pissy lately. Though it does make me think I should buy groceries after I get paid. I can do that.
*****
I sent in two e-mails w/resumes for jobs that seem to be mostly telecommuting, which would be ideal.
I also picked up an app for B&N, and I'll be turning it in soon, Sunday or Monday maybe. I was talking to one of the employees when I asked for the app and he heavily implied that my library experience will probably help. Which I knew, but is nice to have it confirmed.
Starbucks is also on my list.
Aaand now I have to clean my room and do laundry which I probably should've done a week ago, but there you are... Gonna pop in a DVD and clean.
...watch me go...

I didn't care if you liked it, and I'm sorry if I pressured you to. I'm kind of intrinsically baffled when people don't like Firefly, but that's your opinion and you're entitled to it and I respect it. I just objected to your 1) constant putting it down in front of me and others who did like it (which I probably should've interpreted as snark since I'm such a snarky bitch myself often, so I'll apologize for that, too) and 2) your, as you said, bull-headedness in refusing to give it a chance. I also freely admit there are flaws, but I'm a lot less into analysis than you are, so you're bound to find more.
So, yes, I think our biggest problem as friends was communication. I accept your apologies and offer my own in return.

There was a time, not too long ago, when I felt that criticism = intelligent discourse.
I was mistaken, and it took me a long time to figure that out. Unfortunately, my time with you, Cait, Bug, Deth and Ryan occurred smack in the middle of that, "If I put something down, it means I understand it better than people who love that very thing," mode.
It was like being a hipster, only without the unwashed corduroy pants and coke-bottle glasses.
Or, more accurately, it was like being an insufferable douchebag.
So, yeah. Sorry about that. We all have to grow up sometime, and I just took a bit longer getting around to it than I should have. My apologies for my transgressions.
