Just a quick update on my happenings, basically explaining why I've been MIA for so long.
In a fit on insanity, my "lovely" mother decided to cancel both my cell phone (along with my sisters', since we were on a family plan), and the Internet on the family computer. So for a little bit I was phone-less and Internet-less. Very frustrating to say the least. And her reason was because she didn't feel like helping pay for both anymore. Eh her fault. She can deal with the $525 cancelling fee she has to pay for copping out on the 2 year plan.
To counter her terrorism, I went and bought new phones and a new plan for sisters and me. A great idea considering our new phones are so much better than our previous phones. Plus I upped the number of minutes in hopes of keeping my siblings from going over our allowance, and thus creating a huge ass bill every month. So far so good.
As for the Internet situation, I'm still working on it. Nothing permanent thus far, but I went and bought myself a new laptop in order to utilize the built-in wireless at random coffee shops. Will probably buy a wireless card from Verizon so I don't have to stay in Starbucks all freakin' day. As for my sisters, they don't use the Internet that much besides Myspace and email, so I think they're handling it much better than me.
My mother claims she'll give us back the Internet when she finds a decent apartment for us to move into. Yes, not only has she decided to take over the apartment searching, she also wants to LIVE with us. She also claims that this will only be temporary until she sells our house, but she still hasn't even put it up for sale yet. Still trying to figure out what the hold-up is. My youngest sister thinks she's getting the whole "empty nest syndrome" thing, and I'm starting to agree.
And of course, in the midst of all this, my managers decide to be bitches and cut everyone's hours due to budget problems at Ft. Lewis. Fucking yay.
Not sure when I'll be online next, but I'll try to update everyone as much as I can.
