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...

Also, I'm floored that you watched Firefly. What made you change your mind?

It's an exceptionally well written series from a character development point of view, but the whole, "It's a Western! No, wait, it's a Samurai series! No, now it's British! But we're going to speak Chinese!" thing kinda ate at me the entire time. That aside, it's definitely not a bad piece of work at all.
It almost makes Buffy forgivable. ;)

Would it lessen your opinion of me if I admitted to loving every episode of Buffy (even the musical one)?
The Chinese thing did bother me quite a bit. There is no delicate way to deal with profanity. Fashioning a futuristic world that lets all social classes speak one of the most complicated languages on the planet to avoid bleeping is not an all-star way of avoiding swearing in character dialogue, in my opinion.
