may 21, #2 [foreigner, "hot blooded"] hmm, that songs kinda an

odd thing to come up just as i was starting this, lol. i just got done talking

to this really cool guy (hope he doesn’t

mind his pic being there, lol, if he does just talk to me, i’ll take it down.)

that’s from isu, to bad he’s in nm for the summer, but he’s pretty cool. ya

know it’s kinda weird how people just relaly open up to each other when they

talk on here. sometimes i talk to people about things that i would never talk

to them about in person. lol. i also sent my couisn a big old long e-mail

about what’s going on in my life, here it is, cause it’s just easier to copy

and paste then to summerize: ahhhhhhhh, i just want to

shoot my parents right now. i really do. they are driving me crazy, today

we got the phone bill from my dorm room. it was $85. my dad’s all pissed off

about it and he says that he told me not to talk so long when he got the $40

bill. but he never said anything about it. he’s now saying that i have to

pay this bill, which i think is unfair cause, 1) they never gave me any limits

to the phone bills, 2) they said they would pay the phone bills. i mean comon,

i DON’T have that kind of money, right now i have like 20 in my account, they

are being such assholes. they really are, ever since i got home all he’s done

is yell at me about shit, little fucking things too. i’m getting really sick

of it. i mean i worked my ass off durning high school, by the time i was andy’s

age i was working 30 hours a week, and how many hours is andy working? none.

how much does he get to go out? when ever he wants. it’s realy damn unfair.

i had to pay for like everything when i was in hs and they just give him what

ever he wants. and you know when they moved me out of my room and let him

in it, that just really pissed me off. i don’t care if i’m not home anymore,

it’s still _MY_ room. they lost alot of my stuff when they moved it too. plus

they’ve been yelling at me lately for going into andys room and taking my

stuff back, but how often do they yell at him for stealing it from me? NEVER.

one of these days i’m just going to fucking blow and start screaming at them.

damnit. i really am. or i might just call you from philly sometime. i’ve been

thinking about telling my mom about me. i mean i think that would take alot

of the tension out of here. i really do. but i mean, if they are going to

be such assholes about a damn phone bill what are they going to do if i tell

them it’s my bf that i’ve been calling? i can’t stand to live in this house

much longer. i really can’t. it’s just ripping me apart from the inside and

now getting ready to leave for work is just piling more shit on top of it.

and ya know they are just such damn pigs, it really annoys me. and my brother,

everything with him is just perfect. but with me. grr. like you know, if he

gets a damn D it’s “GOOD job andy” and shit like that, but we got my final

grades today from DSU, i got all B’s and do yohink they even said anything

to me about them, nope, not a damn word. not a goddamn fucking word. that

really pisses me off. and also like my b-day, what did they do for that? they

sent me a bunch of crap, it was all crap. they don’t give a fuck, they really

don’t. i’m surpriced they’re still paying for college, they haven’t found

a way to cut me out of that yet. another thing, i went and got contacts, they

cost about the same as a piar of glasses, cause they were on sale, but do

you think they’ll reimburse me for it? nope. cause they’re contacts, not glasses?what’s teh difference? i don’t really know. they bought andy new glasses,

my dad got new glasses, but i can’t get new contacts? hmm, it appears not.

so now i have to find a way to pay for those too. i hvae no money left, none

at all. they were supposed to have paid for a bunch of shit that i’m now having

to pay, so i’m left with nothing to spend. i’m sure they’ll find some way

for me to have to spend all my money i make at camp too, they’ll probobly

tell me that i have to pay for my apartment or something. i dunno. it’s really

pissing me off. damnit. ok i guess i’ve bitched enough, i’ll talk to you laters.

and here’s her respnce, again it’s easier to copy and paste then it

is to summerize:So it’s not a sunshiny day then? You can

call anytime-call collect if you need to-I have no life-I’m always home. You

can also come out here anytime-you don’t have to plan it out for weeks-just

call and say I’m on the way. I know that won’t be feasible 99% of the time

but if it ever is you’re always welcome. Are you coming back this weekend

for GG’s party? Hope so. It’s hard enough living with your parents but after

having 9 months away from them probably makes it even harder. When I came

back from boot camp my mom and I fought all the time. She still wanted to

treat me like I was in HS and I didn’t want anything to do with it. My mom

doesn’t even reach near the irritation factor your PU’s do though so I can

only imagine. I don’t know what it is with your parents and your brother but

it’s really bizarre-even grandma’s said stuff about it before and you know

how clueless she is! Why did they have to move your room-it’s not like your

room is obscenely bigger or different or anything. Andy just has to have everything-God

forbid he doesn’t get his way. The twisted thing is he’s the one who needs

to be yelled at-I mean come on have they looked at him lately-he acts like

he’s 8. Ok and about college-I have 3rd hand gossip that my mom heard from

grandma-so I’m repeating it but I don’t know how warped it’s gotten in the

process. My mom said grandma mentioned talking to your dad and him saying

you might have to pay for part of your college b/c they couldn’t afford it.

(again-this is second hand gossip) But if it’s true that’s just crap-I mean

come on-with as much money as your parents make if they haven’t been saving

for your education they’re just fucking stupid (your parents compel me to

use that word) Andy needs a reality check-I’ve never known anyone so materialistic

in my life, it’s insane. My mother would have killed me if I’d acted like

that. Your PU’s would have killed you for acting like that-yet he gets away

with it! GRRRR! I don’t want to sound like a pep talk here b/c those are just

damned annoying, but hang in there man. Soon you won’t have to be around them

night and day. (of course you get to spend the whole summer in the closet

so it’s a small consolation but go with it, cling to the hope) I know that

doesn’t get you through right now though. Your parents are probably sitting

around hoping maybe you just forgot about that little gay thing. That would

be like them, state of denial. Christopher can’t be gay-then our family won’t

be perfect. They missed the All-American family mark when Andy came out a

boy so that’s shot anyway. They are giant looooosers. If I didn’t have to

see them all the time I would have told them off years ago. I came really

close at Thanksgiving last year when I got that whole “bad influence” shit

again. It’s amazing especially seeing Andy) that two people that screwed up

ever produced som! eone as normal and sane as you. I thing you were switched

at the hospital and there baby went home with some one else. Nice fantasy

huh?! Don’t kill them between now and the next time we e. Try to have a little

fun! i have such a cool cousin, i wish the rest of the family was like

that. but ya know if my pu’s make me pay for college i’m going to be really

fucking pissed, like she said, with as much as they make if they haven’t been

saving for my college they’re just stupid. and plus it’s thier own damn fault

we didn’t get any financial aide. they didn’t fill out the forms and they

wouldn’t tell me what i needed to know to fill them out myself, so yeah fuck

them. bastards. i really can’t wait for camp toi start, but at the same time,

i don’t want to go.

May 21, 2001

may 21, [billy joel, "great wall of china"] damn today sucks too.

we got my final phone bill from college today, it was eighty some bucks and

my dad refuses to pay for it, he says "you can talk to someone else for

7 hours, but you can’t talk to me for 2 minutes" hell no i can’t talk

to him for 2 minutes cause all e does is yell at me. and blow everything out

of porportion, and again today, i got my grades, got B’s in every class, do

you think he said a thing about that, nope all he could do was bitch about

the phone bill. he also caught me talking to danny last night. and he’s been

bitching about that all day. he also said somethign to the effect of "you

need to figure out what’s going on in your life" i know what’s going

on in my life, he’s the one that’s in the dark. maybe if he wouldn’t be such

an ass hole. you know this whole phone bill thing really pisses me off to

cause they said they would pay for my phone bill. and here he is again going

back on his word. the stupid bastard. he also clams that he told me to "take

care of the problem" when he got the $40 bill, he didn’t say anything

about not talking so much. the asshole. i’m temped to just up and leave here

real soon. i mean real soon. i thought about it the other night, i can pack

in about 5 mintues. i have _NO_ money left, how the hell am i going to pay

this bill? damnit i hate him so fucking much. i worked my god damn ass off

in high school damnit. i paid for all my shit when i was in hs. now they can’t

even pay a fucking phone bill which they said they would take care of. i’m

really getting pissed at these assholes. really getting pissed.

May 20, 2001

may 20, [fuel, "bad day"] hmm, well this song pretty much says

it all. it’s been a bad day. sometimes i just wish i could slap my brother.

lol, yep. i used to have this great compass, it was cool. but my stupid brother

lost it, so i was yelling at him alot about that. and yeah. there’s alot to

say, but i don’t really want to say much right now, maybe later.

May 19, 2001

may 19 #3 {basement jaxx, "Music Keeps On Playin"], so yeah, people

came and picked me up tonight, that was cool i had fun. well mostly had fun.

i also got to see julian again, whom (is that the right use of whom?) i hadn’t

really gotten a chance to see since i got home. it was good. i wish i had

spent more time with the group when we were in hs. but i mean now one ever

offered to include me and i just figured, well if they want me they’ll ask,

cause ya know i’m not the type to bother people about things like that. so

yeah. i really regret not telling people that i was gay when i was in hs.

i think it would have been easier to just tell them then hide it all these

years. yeah, i really do. i kinda wish that i wasn’t going away to camp this

summer. but i mean i’ve already signed it all and shit so i’m kinda stuck

with it. i’m really regerting alot of shit tonight.

May 19, 2001

may 19, #2, [dave matthews band, "Sweet home alabama"] ok well

that guys name is ben and omg he’s so cute. and i think he might just be gay,

cause he was flirting pretty badly, and eveyone knows how dense i am, so yeah,

if i could tell. but omg, he’s just so fucking cute, he’s got that great dark

black hair, i love that, i dunno what it is but i mean, weee, i just love

black hair. and he wears tie-dye shirts all the time, i mean _ALL_ the time.

and yeah, it’s going to be a good summer. :)<
