[Ky/365 - Project 2010]

Current Song: Sister Hazel - All For You.

Woke up at 4pm, came downstairs after a series of on and off again sleep, with some weird dreams.
Came down, Mom hasn't call any houses yet... Because I'm sleeping. Yep, that stupid fucking excuse again, especially after knowing we only have about a month to find a place.
Me and Bethy watched Stephen King's Desperation, I texted Steph to tell her I still haven't asked yet... She feels like shit, her allergies are acing up.
Nick came out and was talking to Mom in the kitchen. He started making burgers for later, leaving the meat patties in the fridge.
4:42pm Mom finally made some calls, the guy is showing one tomorrow in Brookline, and she got the answering machine for the one on Freeport
5:00pm Asked Mom about Steph, she went to ask Nick, Nick said Stephen and Lisa were at the movies, and we can't call them even if they have a cellphone.
And then he pushed about the no calling, because he's trying to establish a point we've already known... Moron.
5:10pm Nick said to pack for tonight, you can come tonight, but because Stephen isn't here, we don't know if you can stay for a few days.
Mom went on her big kick... We needed to get the dirty clothes and take them into the laundry room for her to wash. As usual, she engraved this in our minds repeatedly, annoying us.
5:30pm Steph told me she wasn't coming tonight, go figure. Her dad needs her tomorrow morning to fill out a check for something, so she can't come.
5:42pm Nick's messing with the stove, making me nervous... Also annoying, click click click click click... Click click click click click.
Me and Steph stopped talking for a bit so we could cool off about the situation. Started talking again at 6:35pm.
Mom and Nick are like close again, which pisses me off... Because they weren't, and now it's like they're friends again. Spent time in the laundry room washing clothes and making it stop hop around the floor.
At 7pm, The Tommyknockers came on, it's a three hour mini-series for Stephen King airing on Sci-Fi. So me and Bethy are watching it.
Decided not to watch it, and watched 24 instead. Went to get Lasagna, and Throwback, Bethy had a Snack Pack. We're both hungry and want to eat, Nick's busy with the washer. Supposed to make burgers tonight, but won't until Stephen and Lisa get back.
Stephen and Lisa both have to work tomorrow, Stephen is returning to work after a month off.
Stephen and Lisa called and said they were on their way home, and that they forgot to get the buns for the burgers. They needed Mom and Nick to run out to get then, and Stephen and Lisa got back when we were halfway done with 24.
After they got back, Mom and Nick left to run to Giant Eagle to get buns, I asked for a Nutragous and Bethy wanted a Kit Kat... We needed Sweet Tea, and Bethy wanted some Fruit Popsicles.
When 24 was almost over, they got back and Giant Eagle was closed, so Mom and him needed to go somewhere else to get the stuff, they got us the candy though.
After they got back they kept cooking, and I texted Steph when 24 was done and we talked a bit. Her dad went to sleep and she had the TV, so she decided to watch He's Just Not That Into You.
I had to go and charge the laptop, and Bethy and me started watching The Bourne Ultimatum while we waited for dinner, I still texted Steph.
Called her at 9pm, then we got cut off when Cory called and I had to click over at 9:15pm, then we got off at 9:28pm so she could finish watching her movie. Plus because I felt the conversation pretty much drift into nothing, so I figured I'd let her go and wait for dinner to be done.
Dinner was done at 9:30pm, Nick never said we could come in and eat, and then said we better come in and eat or he'll feed it to the cats. Me and Bethy both agreed that we liked it better when he wasn't talking to us.
Ate two burgers and fries, watched Bourne 3 with Bethy, and she asked me about playing ODST later on. Steph and me feel like we're not really clicking with any conversation, so I plan to go upstairs and call her later with no distractions... I feel like we've been limiting our conversation, and not really talking too much with each other the past few days. Things just seem weird, like we're talking but we're both on another planet when we do. That's not a good thing, so we're going to lay down and talk a bit.
Steph got online at 10:04pm, and we talked for a while. I went in and got another burger and Stephen and Lisa went up to bed. When I went in to get a burger there wasn't any bread so I figured I would just eat the burger by itself. And Mom and Nick both said "Bread? Here's some"... This bread was older brad we used at the hotel, so of course I didn't want any of it. Instead I said no thanks and ate my burger without it. They kept saying I could have some, and I just walked away saying I was good.
Came back, talked to Steph while I ate it haha.


Batman 12:15am

Current Song: Staind - Epiphany.

I woke up at 2:20 to Stephen walking upstairs, then I woke up at 2:30pm to having these massive sneezing fits... Not to mention him going back down again, he said good morning to me and I said it back. And I decided to go downstairs. Turns out, Stephen brought the baby back with him this morning, and apparently Emily came too at some point. I don't know how she got here, either she came with him or showed up randomly. I went downstairs, went to the bathroom, and then came out and looked for my Nasonex to clear my nose up... Didn't find it, I figured it's in the van. Stephen went back upstairs, then Emily came back down with him to do some stuff in the kitchen and then they went back upstairs.

I got online, had lasagna, and talked to Mom and Bethy in the kitchen. When I finished eating, Mom had to run outside to look for my Nasonex and some other stuff. I got my shoes on about 10 minutes later and then went out to help her. Brought a bunch of bags inside... Food, and others, since we found our toothbrushes and razors, and shampoo... We brought them in and put everything where it needed to go.
Mom, Stephen, Emily, and Nick talked a bit, then everyone left to go do their own stuff they all had to do in the house. I got bored of sitting on the laptop in the kitchen and overheard Emily and Bethy talking, then she went upstairs while Bethy played Guitar Hero 2. 4:05pm Bethy was still playing Guitar Hero 2, so I went in and joined her. She just failed "Mother" on Hard, I'm debating on playing it with her... We both overheard Mom in Nick's room crying, talking about something with Nick. We don't know what, but apparently they're talking. They were supposed to go out for a bit to get some stuff.

I played Guitar Hero with Bethy while they got ready, Mom got a shower. 5:45pm they left to go to WV for cigarettes, Bethy got her shower and Emily stayed here with the baby. I was weirded out by the fact I'd be out here alone with Emily while Bethy went and got a shower, luckily she stayed upstairs the entire time with the kid. I got back on the laptop which was dead, and Steph had messaged me saying she went to play Sim City and to text her when I got on. I texted her and told her I was online and to keep playing, so she could relax for a bit. She stopped playing and checked back on AIM to message me, and then Bethy got out of the shower and I got an email back from Hot Topic. Turns out, they don't plan on helping me out with getting a replacement code for buying the shirt - Which I didn't buy, I'm just trying to play with them to see if I can get a free one, so I don't need to go through any trouble trying to find a store that still has them. Turned out to be a generic reply from them, that looks to be copied and pasted into the email. Go figure.

I decided to message EA's Bioware Division just to try to get a Mark of Vigilance code, since Hot Topic wasn't helping me. Bethy and me continued to play Guitar Hero 2 after I sent them an email. I had to help her get through the last two Tiers of Hard mode. Stephen came in from the car, and brought in some stuff... He got himself a Xbox 360 Elite bundle, with Lego Batman and PURE packed inside, and Madden 2010. I hope we get to play it because more games and more achievements fucking rock. He put it on top of his TV... So I'm thinking it might be for his kids he had with Lisa. Don't know where they all went, but no one but Stephen came inside, they must be doing something else. I had to save Bethy's ass on one she was failing, because her hand was too cramped up. I took over and won the song, which was cool :) Didn't think I'd save it in time since I didn't see the notes beforehand. So apparently Stephen went to Lowes and didn't go with Mom and Nick to WV. He got the 360 and a new Toilet... Mom and Nick still aren't back though. Bethy unlocked and started Freebird at 7:57pm. 8:14pm, Bethy took two breaks and failed at 87%. 8:19PM, tried again and failed at 86%.

8:27pm, Bethy went into practice for Freebird after second her fail. Mom got back with Nick from WV and whatever else they did. 9:45pm, I had to run outside to piss because Stephen and Emily were in the bathroom trying to hook up the new toilet pot. I went outside saying I was going to get some Pepsi Throwback from the van, which I did, but I had to use the side of the house because they were in there for the past half an hour, and I couldn't have a chance to go. At 9:56pm, Bethy went into the kitchen to get something, taking a break from Freebird, and Stephen decided to kick Bethy off to hook up his new 360 :) Which we're going to have the pleasure of helping him play games. He started out playing Lego Batman with Emily, and let me tell you this is one dumb broad. I mean she's nice and all, she talks more than Lisa does, which is cool too... But first off she brought up some random shit... And then said something about him being the father of the baby, which I knew but he didn't originally want us to, so I knew he'd be pissed at her for it. Then she asked the most stupid questions. "Is it wireless?", "What games are we going to play?", and other shit... And then when they started playing she asked the most retarded questions, which the answers were obvious considering they had tutorials on the bottom. Do you fucking read, asshole?

She continued to play the first level and Stephen just said alright, fuck it, and popped in Madden 2010. Honestly, based on her actions. I couldn't blame him... So he played that, but she played a game with him, and she kept fucking up. Again, do you fucking read, asshole? Haha. She kept fucking everything up, and on Batman she'd fall off of platforms, or attack him, or generally just fuck everything up by standing still in a side-scrolling open environment and not letting him go anywhere. Then with Madden, she kept on fucking the plays up. So Stephen just said fuck it and turned it off. A little bit later we played Left 4 Dead, first it was him and Bethy while I was on talking to Steph and trying to bid on a Dragon Age DLC pack on Ebay, and then it was me and Bethy because I lost and I told Steph I wanted to play a bit, this was at 11:40pm. Steph went to go play Sim City, and we both did our own thing for a while. Mom went out to the van and got my small bag of games which I saved from storage since we played them a lot. We popped in ODST, and me and Stephen played that a bit before he decided to go to bed. We tried Firefight, and originally Bethy was going to play with us, but she didn't want to, and couldn't because of System Link being 2-player.

When he went to bed, we played a bit, and then I decided to unhook his Xbox 360 and then hook mine up to pop all of Stephen's games in on my drive in order to load the game's unlockable achievements onto my system. I didn't have a memory card, so I couldn't transfer my Gamertag over, and needed to go the long way about it. When I finally got to Batman, he came back down with Emily. They weren't getting along from what it seemed, and I was on the phone with Steph at the time because I wanted to play and talk at the same time. It got annoying because everyone kept talking to me and I couldn't do what I needed to do to play. And then Stephen said I could have just swapped hard drives instead of swapping systems. Making it easier on me... And basically he made it into this big thing, "If you want to wear your system down that's fine by me"... So I needed to disconnect all of my stuff and hook his back up, only using my drive instead of his. Steph was on hold more than once while I was hooking everything up... We didn't really have that much of a conversation. Then I started playing Batman a bit. Turned out him and Emily got into some type of argument, and she stormed off upstairs with the baby carrier while he was coming down the steps... Then they went to bed. Don't ask me what the hell the problem was, but it seemed like she was ready to leave with the baby. I don't know what the heck happened.

For the next few hours me and Steph talked on the phone for a bit while I played. I got pretty far in the first set of levels, and then when Steph got tired she went to sleep. Bethy started reading a bit, and then took her makeup off - These were the Pigments, and I didn't mention it but she put them on earlier today. I forget when so I don't want to put it somewhere else... But she tried these Makeup Remover Cloths that me and Steph got from the hotel we stayed at. She fucking loved them, and raved about them all night. She got on her laptop and looked them up and it's like $250 for 1,200 of them. Pretty steep price, but she wants to do it sometime so she has them... I guess it's like a bulk pack. But she raved about them and wants us to go back to the hotel so we can get more haha... Then she went to bed at like 4am, and I was up until 5:30am playing the game. Got down with about 5 levels, bought some extras too... The only thing I don't care for is you need to go back to older levels to find secrets with new stuff you get. And while I like games like that, this one just makes them rather tedious.

But that's all that happened today :) Have a nice one.

PS. Mom apparently made up with Nick, that's what they talked about... She hates him treating her that way, and said she didn't do anything that he didn't know about. They're talking like they used to now... Joy.

Current Song: The All-American Rejects - Move Along.

Woke up at 1:20pm after a morning of off again, on again, and I came down and Mom was looking for Newt's number. Stephen and Nick were in the laundry room working on stuff. I decided to go and have my sandwich which I made last night (Made 2 again, left one for this morning), so I got that out and got some sweet tea. Mom didn't know where his number was, and I said it would have been in her phone. She looked for it but couldn't find it, and I turned her cell on and it would have been the last outgoing call. She said it was Nick's number and not Newt's, so I have no idea, but she went to look for the paper the number was on. It was in her coat pocket, so luckily she had it and is going to call him for us to see what the hell is going on. No one else has called yet. I decided to get on Bethy's laptop, and checked my stuff, and Bethy woke up while I ate and checked stuff. I talked to Steph and after a while we were better from last night... Which is a good thing. Took a few hours but we're good now. Mom checked her voice mail since there were messages. One from Newt, one from Mary Beth. We're supposed to call them both back. Mom called Mary Beth at 1:38pm, with no answer... She got a hold of Newt at 1:40pm, Mom called Newt and his wife, and talked to them for a while about everything... Mary Beth called back at 2pm - Result? Still waiting on the check... She's out of the office Monday and Tuesday, she'll be back Wednesday... Bullshit again right? As always...

I watched Moonlight with Bethy, it's a good show, watch it sometime. At 2:45pm I went in the kitchen and talked to Mom about our options... The Washer or Dryer started going AWOL and Lucifer too off like a bat out of hell. It kept doing this throughout the afternoon as Nick kept running in and out of the laundry room trying to fix it. Stephen and all of us talked for a bit. And as it stands... Mom said the check will take about a week to sign even if Mary Beth gets the email... Which means it might be another two fucking weeks before we move in. When Mom talked to her she said we might end up losing the house because of this long wait. And when Mom talked to Newt's Wife, she said someone else was interested in renting the house, and we might lose it because Newt's just waiting for Mary Beth to pull her fucking weight on getting it signed. I texted Steph, she's pissed about it... Me and Mom talked a bit while Bethy played Guitar Hero, then Stephen played with her for a bit. 3:30pm when Bethy came into the kitchen to get a drink she said she wanted a hug and that she's depressed. I said "You don't even know the half of it", and Mom said "Go ahead big mouth!"... Bethy has a right to know, she didn't want to tell her. I feel she has a right to know... So we told her about them not wanting to wait any longer for the stuff to come through, and now Bethy's upset and depressed over it just like we are... But she deserved to know, so that's that.

Stephen stopped playing Guitar Hero and played on the Wii. I sat in the kitchen still talking to Mom while she did dishes. Then the phone rang. At 3:55pm Mom just got off the phone with Zack, he's my counselor. The new guy when I went to see about getting my voucher. He basically said Newt's Wife Kim got a hold of Katie, and Katie went to talk to Zack. Newt's Wife is going to send the paperwork in today with the tax information for the house. Mom needs to fax some income verification paperwork too... Section 8 is off for the weekend, so we might have some type of idea Monday morning before Mary Beth even calls us. Zack's going to call back Monday, he should have the paperwork from Newt's Wife by then, and they can only start paying the rent after that is received. So once we get that, it's only a matter of time for waiting for Mary Beth to sign her damn check. And if they're willing to wait a week, two weeks, or three weeks for get the check, we can probably start moving in next week. Mom decided to finish washing dishes and then she's going to go find the papers for her and Bethy's income. She's supposed to call Newt later, or he'll call her... By then, he might have everything fixed up with this mess...

I relocated to the living room and sat on the recliner. Bethy decided to play Guitar Hero 2 some more, after I asked her to watch a movie - Pulp Fiction since I downloaded it... She said no, and that she wanted to play, so she did. I had to move to the chair, and she sat in the recliner. She didn't know how to hook the Ps2 back up, so I needed to get up and do it. I talked to Steph online for a bit, and called her at 5:15pm because Mom said we might be going to the store. She wanted to run to the store with Bethy to get some stuff, mainly pudding... I wanted to go, but they left without me and said I could stay here. 5:30pm they went to the store and I talked to Steph for a while as she was working on installing Sim City to play because she was bored. She had to send me some pictures to free up space, these pictures were from Christmas while I spent time at her place and the pet store. She freed up space by zipping them and sending them to me, then she went to play while I went to play Guitar Hero 2. When I was getting off the phone, someone called and Nick had to figure out who it was. Turns out it was Kim - Newt's wife, she said for Mom to call her back when she gets back from the store. At 6:20pm they got back, and Nick said for her to call Kim back, Newt's Wife. Before that though, I helped Mom make wedding soup, I learned how she makes it and can do it myself now too :)... Mom called Newt back at 6:30pm... And basically...

We lost the house, he feels Mary Beth is giving him the run around... So because of that it's taking too long and he won't wait... So we lost the house.

Fuck my fucking life.

I called Steph at 6:45pm and told her, she's pissed too... We have a month to find a place... Well, more appropriately, February 26th. I talked to Mom about it as we finished cooking the Wedding Soup, and Nick had already put the Lasagna in the oven a few hours ago before they left for the store. We had dinner, and me and Mom talked covertly in the kitchen about everything going on... She has a few places she can call, and she plans to go up Monday morning to get a second set of papers with me at Section 8, so we can see other houses and try to find one before February 26th. Steph got her schedule, she's off Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, so she might come over and be with me... Actually that's almost a definite, we just don't know where I'll be. More than likely, now based on these developments, I'll be here with her staying here at Nick's with me... Just so we can bust our asses trying to find another house to finalize. Either way, I hope I see her, I really need her company right now :(.

We ate dinner, Nick ignored Mom and went into the bathroom to get a shower, ignoring her asking him about eating. He's been giving her the cold shoulder since the fight. He's being a real dick about everything, you ask him something and he just goes off into his own little world and walks away mumbling about nonsense... Talk about a troubled old fart. Me and Mom spent the next few hours eating soup, and looking on Craigslist to find some listings that might be appropriate for our needs... Called a few, sent a few emails, here's hoping we get something back from them. Steph and me talked while I did this, she's busy with her friend Allison, and I'm busy sending emails and getting numbers for Mom to call. We spent the next few hours looking for houses, and being depressed about what just happened... Mom didn't want to tell Bethy but finally did at around 9pm. As expect she was pissed about it... I think we should have told her sooner but Mom didn't want to because of what would happen. She just broke down, which I expected her to do... Bethy was playing Guitar Hero 2 while Mom told her, and she kind of kept playing trying to keep it out of her mind until she gave up with it. Shortly after, Mom decided to call Mary Beth on her cellphone, of which she never answers. But guess what kiddies? She fucking answered. Mom planned to leave her a voice mail basically saying thanks but no thanks moron, I'll be there Wednesday to pick up my mail (Because we get our mail shipped there... Because of all the moving we've done, and she keeps it for us. It's good because any Section 8 and housing stuff goes there, and it makes it look like we're in the shelter when we're not)... Unfortunately, she answered, and Mom didn't expect her to. She told her the house fell through, and that we will come there Wednesday to get her mail. And that Newt and his Wife Kim got tired of waiting for everything to finalize. She didn't even say sorry, she just said to come up Wednesday and we'll talk about it then, and that we can't stay here because of Nick and it not being a "safe place"... And that we might be able to get into the Shelter, because it would be safer. Um, hello? You're a fucking retard. We've basically been homeless since April or May of last year, and in that time frame we've been in and out of your office with you constantly saying you'd help us, and you'd put us in the Shelter... And this ans that. Broken promises, and contradictions, and you are definitely not good for the job you have. I want you fired, what's the sense of going up to talk about it Wednesday? You'll just fuck something else in our life up like you have since we met you.

And I'm about certain the reason it took so long to go through was because Mom told her about me being with Kelly, and that she was suicidal, and the reason we brought Kelly up was because of her Uncle... He's on the Shelter's "night church" list. Basically, if you stay in the Shelter, every week at 5pm you go to the Night Church to eat, and sleep, and you go back to the actual Shelter at 7am, then to leave again at 5pm. Her Uncle's church is on that list... And he's also the President of AVAOC - Allegheny Valley's Association Of Churches. So it's almost guaranteed, he had a hand in it taking forever to get the check signed, and if so it's partly Mom's fault for bringing it up. But no, Mary Beth had nothing to say about it, no apology, nothing... Just "I'll see you Wednesday and we can discuss it"... What the fuck is there to discuss? Seriously. If anything it's your lack of doing your fucking job you fucking tool. Some help you are. And you know what's funny? When Mom told Mary Beth she didn't think she would answer... Mary Beth said "Oh, what do you mean Jane? I always answer my cellphone, it's the emergency number!"... Yeah bullshit! You "always" answer your cellphone. Any other time we called, you always ignored it and never answered, we'd have to leave a message and never get anything back. Some emergency number, and I can count more than 8 occasions we were in your office and you got calls and ignored them on both your cellphone and your office phone. Fuck you. I think I'll take Bethy up on that Agnostic thing, it seems to be fitting based on how life is going the past few years... But seriously. Fuck you. I spent some time with Bethy in the living room watching Sugar And Spice, and she was depressed still... As expected. But we talked a little about it, and then the highlight of the night was Nick singing something randomly, which he's been doing off and on all night. But this time while he was singing he just blurted out while yelling - COCK SUCKER!, needless to say while I hate him, that made my night, and I needed that good laugh.

Then the rest of the night pretty much consisted of us huddled up in the kitchen trying to think of a good method of what to do. They got this bright idea that they'll live on a beach, and I can get a one bedroom apartment or house and have Steph move in, and they'll pretty much be Nomads... Like that will fix anything? I have no car, no job, license, and no other method of transportation... Other than buses or Steph, and I'm not about to tell her she has to drive me here and there and everywhere. Fuck that. And I'm not about to make her foot the bill for an apartment until I get on my feet too... That's just wrong, especially with it being my voucher, and me being the one who should be paying for it. The whole situation is just a shot in the ass. I found a bunch of places Mom will call tomorrow, as did she. She spent a good while looking at ads and replying to them by email, only to have to call them tomorrow. She got pretty depressed when she didn't get anything back from anyone on any... And I told her, you need to figure, it's after 10pm, and later. No one in their right mind - If they're NORMAL - Will reply at this hour to anything you send about a house... And guess what? No one did. Hence us calling them tomorrow morning sometime.

I decided to cam with Steph sometime in the midst of all of this, I didn't bother keeping track of time as other things were more important. She was on Audio, and she heard all of the conversation. She can't believe what we're going through... Then Stephen got home with some stuff he went out to buy. Extension Cords, and a Crib for his baby... This is Emily's kid, it turned out to be his, and I forget if I went over that or not. He doesn't want anyone to know, but Nick told Mom, and Mom told us. So naturally, if you tell someone something we always find out. I don't mind it, it's his life to live. He's a nice guy, and he's doing good by everything so that's fine with me, as long as he's happy. He's not like Nick, and that's obvious enough. When he came in he took things out of the boxes and we broke the news to him and he couldn't believe it either. We don't know what to do about any of it, but he said we're more than welcome to stay here, and he'll be damned to throw us out he said... Let alone Nick. Stephen just earned some points with me, and I know he'll get tired of us being here. Especially since, while we're good company, he's not getting much done. He just got back from Iraq, and he wanted to remodel his house a bit and upgrade... He can't do that with us here. And sure, he got new appliances, but he wants to remodel the kitchen and knock a wall out. And he can't do that if we're here.

Nick came in and helped him set up the crib, and shortly after that I had to help him take it upstairs. It was really light, and easy to carry so that wasn't that hard to do. I spent the next bit of tonight in the kitchen with them talking about everything. We talked about a lot of stuff and Nick was pretty much doing his own thing in his bedroom, he'd come out every now and then to talk, but he pretty much kept to himself while Stephen and us talked, not to mention while I talked to Steph on web cam on Bethy's laptop. I had my hair brushed and had to wash my face because my eyes were bugging, and after that I felt a lot better about myself :) Felt good to feel pretty. Since cause... "You look pretty! :)"... If you don't get it, read Steph's blog a while back about our Chinese food extravaganza. Wow, I typed that right and didn't even need to spell check :) Go me! But yeah we talked for a while, then I went up to call Steph because she wanted to go and lay down, she was reading Breaking Dawn for a few hours, and I figured it was time for her to sleep. I went up and we talked for about an hour, and I finally got to cry about things. I just think I'm bringing her down with me :( I don't want her to feel that way... I don't want her to break up with me because of all of this. She assured me she won't, and that the main thing right now is to find another house before the voucher expires on February 26th. That we can work on her moving in later, and that this is the most important thing right now. We're still together, and she said she's not going anywhere. I believe her... I'm still worried though.

Came back down and we talked some more in the kitchen, and had coffee too, yum yum. Then I spent time in the living room playing Guitar Hero 2 with Bethy, and Stephen came in a few times to watch between talking to Mom. I tried out One For The Road, and boy was that a fun one on Expert... Steph, try that sometime, it's under Bonus on Guitar Hero 2. But Stephen eventually decided to go to bed, this was closer to 2:30-3am when he did. He wanted to go to bed around midnight, which is why this is another night I think we talked his ear off. Bethy thought she talked his ear off last night, but I think it was more obvious tonight... Even though he apparently had fun. One thing I didn't mention that he brought up, is last night when his Mom slept over. She got the upstairs bunk beds, but the one mattress that me and Steph laid on the floor originally is the one she uses. Apparently, when she went to bed, she fell asleep on the floor in Stephen's room, and took all the blankets and pillows from my bed with her to use in there. When she was leaving at like 4am-5am this morning, she left and I woke up around 7am and went up to go to bed. When I went up there, I couldn't find my fucking blankets and pillows, so suffice to say I was freezing. I found this sleeping bag that Stephen's kids used when they were here as their blanket. It was in a box next to the bunk beds, and when I went up and laid down on my bunk, I found it in the box and had to pull it out. I used that as my blanket, but I didn't have a pillow, and I spent all night with my arm under my head just like I always do... Using that as a pillow, and Steph always found that amazingly intriguing because it was always uncomfortable for her. Stephen brought that up though, about the thing his Mom did with the blankets and pillows, and said he was sorry, and that when he went upstairs to sleep last night he found her on the floor in his room when he opened his door up. He gave me props though, for using the sleeping bag as a blanket :) He woke up and was worried I was freezing, but then he saw that and was surprised and laughed about it he said. He was sorry though, such a nice guy.

Bethy went to bed at around 3:30am, I had planned to watch Pulp Fiction with her, but she wasn't interested, she just wanted to sleep. She did however see this before she went to sleep and she laughed her ass off, check it out.

I spent the next few hours online with Mom in the kitchen, being bored out of our minds trying to find some houses... Hopefully things go better tomorrow. I'll keep you posted as always.

Sleep well and all that jazz.

PS: News about Nick I got from Mom... He really is on Megan's List for a legit reason. Mom said his Ex-wife, Diana, said he'll deny it up and down but she was the one who caught him. She also said in his free time he likes to look for other women... So much for being faithful. And one more thing - Stephen told Mom tonight that Nick doesn't get a pension, it's a lie, and that he was the one supporting Nick while he was in Iraq. Nick said he was getting like SSI or something twice a month, but it wasn't from them... Stephen sent it. Stephen is the one supporting Nick, and has been for a while now. Some life for that old fart huh?... And one more funny thing. He got thrown out of the Marines for being an alcoholic. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Woke up sometime in the morning, I was off and on all day because I stayed up until 7am this morning... I didn't actually get out of bed until around 1:30pm to 2pm. As soon as I woke up I came downstairs, and went towards the kitchen... Stephen had ordered all of this stuff the other day to replace his appliances. Turns out today was the day they were delivering everything and I forgot all about it. Mom mentioned it last night, but she wasn't completely sure they were coming today or not. So with that said, he spent a good portion of the morning with Nick making calls, and trying to get people directions to get to the house here. Not to mention, Nick trying to get people on Craigslist to come and pick up the old appliances. All in all it was a decent afternoon for them, the businesses Stephen ordered from came and dropped the new stuff off, and they all look pretty nice. He got a new Fridge, a Dishwasher, and a Washer and Dryer I believe... Or maybe just a Washer... I forget. Either way it ws a busy busy morning.

I took the time out of my afternoon to get online and talk to Steph. She was at work, and she couldn't really talk other than the occassionaly hello, how are you, I'm going on break at such and such a time so call if you want to. Turns out, Mom wanted to call Mary Beth as she hasn't yet, and as usual Mart Beth never got off her ass to call us. So Mom called her, and got her damn voice mail again. She called Linda, and asked her what was going on... Unfortunately, Mary Beth was in a meeting today and she might call us back. So we went the rest of the afternoon hoping she would. Around 3:50pm, Mom decided it was time to call Section 8 and try to figure shit out. She wanted to see if the house actually passed, and if we could start moving in... Along with, anything else that we needed to know about Newt and the house before moving in. I didn't have the number for Section 8, and mom was getting impatient because they closed at 4pm. I found a few numbers online and she told me that it wasn't it. She called them, and no one answered. Eventually she came over all "ugh" like, and we looked the agency number up, and she called. It was a bit of phonetag between receptionists, then recordings, then answering machines. She wasn't getting anywhere and it was getting closer to closing time. Luckily, I stumbled over a number on the website for an inspector, and she called him. He told us we needed to call this Katie person who was handling part of our case... So Mom did, and luckily, at like 3:58pm, she answered... And we kept her over her work hours with this shit. Here's what she said.

There are two different agencies, Section 8 and HVR. The way it currently is Mary Beth is helping with the one program since we are considered homeless with the shelter, they have been helping us with the hotel, and are supposed to help with the first months rent, security, and two months. The problem is if they pay that it already passed the inspection for them to pay it. But I have a housing voucher which is different from the plan the shelter has. Section 8 when they passed the inspections people need, they automatically start paying the rent. The problem is we have one house, and we have the Shelter and Section 8 wanting to pay it. They both want to pay it, and if they do, Newt gets double money. And that's Double Dipping, and against the law, getting double the money for it when he's only allowed to get the main amount and not double it. The rent is $750, he'd be getting $1500 if they did this, and it's illegal. So Mary Beth is supposed to pay everything, but Mom talked to Kate, and she said that the Shelter has their paperwork letterhead, and Section 8 has their own letter head. The inspection they did before wasn't a normal Section 8 inspection, even though it was a Section 8 Inspector - He did the one for HVR, on the HVR paperwork. Technically it passed, but it wasn't done on the paperwork for section 8. And they need that in order for Section 8 to start paying. It might need reinspected because of this, or since the Inspector already inspected it, he might just duplicate the paperwork results onto the Section 8 form with their own letterhead. That way both paperwork packets are completed for both agencies.

Section 8 thought I didn't have a voucher, and that the Shelter was helping us. And after the three months of Mary Beth paying it, we would take over after her payments are done and over with, three months from now. We're waiting on Katie to call Mary Beth, or Mary Beth to call Mom back. Mary Beth can pay first months rent and security, and Section 8 will pick up after the first month is over, OR, Mary Beth can pay the first months rent and security, along with the two bonus months... And then Section 8 will pay it after her payments run out. But either way, we're waiting to hear from Mary Beth in order to finalize everything, and have her check signed and given to whoever it needs to be given to. On another note, the paperwork I hand delivered to Newt's Wife when we went to see the house on the 14th, they never filled it out and sent it in. Because of this, we're also waiting on that too... So three things.

1. Mary Beth's Check, and Section 8's funding - Can only have one at a time, or both separated so they each pay at a different time frame.

2. Paperwork for HVR and Section 8 needs to be completed based off of the house being reinspected a second time and passed... Therefore, it needs to be on Section 8 letterhead in order for Section 8 to okay their payments. Even though it already passed.

3. The Voucher I put in with Newt and his Wife needs to be filled out and returned to Section 8 by them, along with their Tax information.

Because of this, we may have the key by tomorrow.

Mom tried calling Mary Beth at 4:55pm, and got no damn answer... Hopefully she'll call us in the morning with word from Section 8. Lisa showed up at 5:15pm, and brought clothes so apparently, she's spending the night here with Stephen. After she got here, me and Bethy watched Music Choice at 5:20pm just because nothing else was on... Mom was in there talking with them for a while, and I ended up asking Mom about where my Toothbrush was, and she said she could go out to the van and look for it. I don't have it, and I have the ones from the hotel... Cheaply made pieces of junk that hardly clean my teeth off. So I wanted her to find mine. She went out and looked later on but didn't find it. Nick made stuffed cabbage, and potatoes, and said we could eat at 5:50pm... And wouldn't shut up about me going in to eat for hours. Just shut the fuck up, I'll eat when I'm hungry. Later on around 6pm, Me and Bethy watched That 70s Show, and then The Simpsons and Family Guy. Diana got here at 6:14pm... Looks like I'm sleeping here on the fucking chair again. You'd think people would be more lenient with us not having a house to call home... And give us a fucking bed, but nope, she just comes over every few days now and sleeps in my room... Fucking bitch.

Mom went outside at 6:20pm to call Newt and see about getting the key, she started leaving a message and it ended up cutting here off because her phone died. This is when she came in and told me she didn't find my toothbrush, and the phone died on her so she'll charge it and call him tomorrow morning when we might figure some shit out. We're really hoping they hurry and finish everything tomorrow, because if they don't we'll need to pay another $100 on Monday for storage, and we really don't want to if we can get everything out of the storage unit before then. Which is what we're hoping on, and moving in before February 1st. The next few hours they spent time in the kitchen together talking, Nick was off in his own little world most of the night while Mom, Stephen, Lisa, and Diana were all in the kitchen talking. He would go from his bedroom, into the kitchen just to hear what was being said... I know he's trying to find things out about what they're telling Mom. They already said some stuff, but they didn't say everything, and Stephen wants to sit down and talk to her alone sometime about everything. They talked for a good while, and when Steph got off work we talked for a while too... It was an odd night, we bickered a bit for no real reason... She kept telling me I was acting weird, I kept telling her she was too... It's just one of them nights I guess.

Around 9:30pm Diana wanted to go in the living room to watch Grey's Anatomy. She came in and found out it was a repeat, but she watched it anyway while everyone else talked. I just stayed on talking to Steph and being on cam with her. Around 11pm, Diana wanted to see the weather so she asked Bethy to come in and put the news on. I specifically said which channel to put it on, and Bethy complied with me in putting it on for her. Diana got rather impatient and pissed me off, saying she wanted to see the weather, when the damn news channel was on and the weather update was coming up in a few minutes. She asked Stephen to put the weather on, and he flipped some channels and pretty much put it on the same damn channel I originally told Bethy to put it on. And then she said thanks to Stephen... Um, hello, me and Bethy helped you out with it, but I guess that isn't good enough for you. Fuck you. And she didn't even watch the damn news, she started this shit at 10pm, and then at 10:10 when she didn't get a chance to see it she went to bed.

She came down a few more times after that, to my annoyance... She could "hear everyone in the kitchen talking" and wanted some earplugs so she could sleep. It was annoying, she kept saying in her horse voice that she can't sleep when she hears us. When Nick gave her one of the earplugs, she went back upstairs. And then came back down a few minutes later asking for them to shut the kitchen light off, because it was shining up the steps. God lady, close your fucking eyes, and cover your ears with a fucking pillow for once and maybe you'd get some sleep. I find it amazing you haven't had a problem the past few times you've been here, but now amazingly, you do. Fuck you.

When she was upstairs, we talked to Stephen. They talked to him for a while in the kitchen, which is why they then relocated to the living room when she asked about the light. We all got to talking about Cory, and Nick, and lots of other stuff, like Bethy's leg hurting, and this and that. Tons of things, and he's the nicest out of all of Nick's family. Nick's Ex-wife is pretty nice too but she can be real fucking annoying when she wants to be. Stephen started showing us some videos on Youtube, one in particular being Show Me Your Genitals.

I laughed my ass off at that, and just had to favorite it... After that they came out of Nick's bedroom and we talked some more. I ended up getting bored and listened to the Evans Blue CD Steph sent over to me and I played Continuum. It's an old spaceship shooter I used to play a long time ago. It's multiplayer, and fun as hell. They have Capture the Flag and a lot of other shit, check it out here.

We talked for a while, and then Stephen went to bed. I got in a fight with Steph... It was just a really odd night. I don't really want to talk about it because it was one of our stupid fights. But yeah... She's right, surprises really don't work in our favor most of the time :/ Especially when you want them to. I let things get way out of hand, and I shouldn't have and I feel guilty now...

Shortly after that, Mom went to bed. I made sandwiches, and had some sweet tea, and took a shower from 2am-2:30am. It was nice and relaxing, and it made me feel a little better. I stayed online for a bit, then went to bed at 4:10am when Diana's alarm went off upstairs in my room. I shut the laptop and set it down and fell asleep so I didn't have to talk to her. I know, I'm mean. I slept from them until like 7:30am, in which I was the only one awake and I went upstairs to bed. After scarfing down some sweet tea because it was fucking hot in here and I was parched. I went up to find no pillows on my bed, and no blankets at all. So instead of sleeping on the floor mattress I decided to reclaim my bottom bunk. It seemed warmer there, so I started going to sleep only to find a sleeping bag in a box next to my bed. I pulled it out while I was laying down and covered myself with it. So much for a nice cozy bed... :(... Ah well, this will need to manage. No pillow either... I'll just make do with it.

Night everyone.

Current Song: Staind - Everything Changes.

I woke up at 4:30, wanted to move from the chair to the couch. Stephens Mom came down closer to 5am, and was leaving, so I figured I could take my bed. Unfortunately they talked for a while, and I had to fall asleep uncomfortable as hell again in the chair. I woke up again sometime around 7:40am, decided to go upstairs because no one was awake, and my bed was free, so I took the opportunity. I moved some of the stuff she placed to sleep with, blankets and pillows, and I went to sleep, woke up at around 10:40, went back to sleep until around 1:20pm, off and on all morning and afternoon. I came down when Mom said there was no call from Mary Beth, and she wanted to know if she should call her... So she did, no answer, answering machine... Ugh. Mom mentioned going to Red White And Blue, which is a thrift store. Which was another reason I came down, I came down and said "Red White and Blue? Let me get my shoe(s)" in a rhyming sort of way. They laughed, so that was good. It's Wednesday so it's half off mostly everything for senior day. I ate a doughnut, and looked for something to make with no real luck. Decided to make eggs, then I said no, planned to make pork chops, then I said no because I couldn't find the damn things from last night. Decided on a sandwich and had to dig for packets of mayonnaise, made two, saved one for later. I was pissed off because I don't have Steph's Dad's Peppers in here, and I'm not about to look for them in the van, as much as I want some of them fuckers.

I came in the living room to eat, and I decided to go outside and get a Pepsi Throwback, because mostly everything to drink in here was empty, or stuff I didn't want. So I went out, Bethy wanted me to get her purse, something I've asked her to take in for the past 5 days. Annoyed, I went out at 1:50, freezing cold outside, I should have brought a jacket. Rushed out, got her bag and my Pepsi, and hurried back inside Nick's house. Stephen was working on Woot.com today, because apparently it's Wooting day, some website with very good discounts so he's upstairs bidding on things for cheaper than retail. He was however, downstairs when I got back inside, making himself breakfast. I gave Bethy her purse, and sat down to eat, getting on the laptop. I texted Steph at around 2pm, and I forgot she was off today, she messaged me back on her phone saying to talk on her AIM haha, so we've talked a bit. She talked to me for a little while before she needed to go and run to the pet store to do some stuff at home with filters for her pet kingdom. The next few hours I sat in the living room and talked to Bethy, playing Guitar Hero 3. I called Steph at 3:30 when she got home, while I was playing Dragonforce's "Through The Fire And The Flames" on Expert on Practice. We talked for a little while before she needed to go and get her car from the shop, run to the store for Pork and Sauerkraut for her Dad for dinner, and see Jonie.

I sat around and played a little bit more, and talked to Bethy some more, before she decided to go to the van and put stuff inside of it. I got her to get more of my Pepsi Throwback out of the van and then she came inside and went on a cleaning fit, Mom and Nick left the bedroom around 4:45pm and said she'd call Mary Beth. 4:52pm on the first call, Mom got a hold of her, she hasn't heard anything yet. She said she would talk to her tomorrow. 5pm, they were debating on what to make for dinner, I decided to have my second sandwich. Nick decided to make Meatloaf, so at 5:15pm, we left to go to the store. Emily showed up with the baby when we were leaving. When we were leaving Bethy took the Best Buy Gift Certificate down that Stephen said we could use, for $35, for my game pre-order. We debated on going to Robinson to get my game, and get Bethy to go to Sephora since she's never been to one. Mom got gas at the gas station and said no, we can do it another time, and we went to go to Giant Eagle in McDonald. We went inside and looked around a bit, I was depressed because I don't know if we're going to have enough money to go and get it. We walked around and got the supplies Mom needed to get for Nick to make the Meatloaf. Ground Meat, Eggs, and Pudding since Bethy wanted it the other night and never got it. Mom decided to play the Powerball when we were there, each of us got one Quick Pick ticket. Then Mom thought she forgot something when we were getting ready to leave.

We checked out at the register, and when we went to the van she needed to call Nick to make sure she got everything. She could only remember 3 out of the 4 items... Turns out the 4th item she would have forgot was the Pudding, which we got. We left there and drove back to Nick's place, and brought everything inside. We watched The Simpsons and Family Guy for a while, and Stephen and Emily kept playing with the Baby, taking turns holding her before going upstairs. I really wonder what Lisa thinks of this, I mean they keep being alone together... Who knows what they're really doing together? Are they sleeping together too? What? I have no idea... But it concerns me a bit, and it's not even someone I know that well... It still bothers me either way. Nick and Mom began cooking, and it took a while. So we just kept on watching TV. I was online for a while, and Bethy wanted on the laptop to check her Facebook. She checked her email too because I was trying to find out if she got this Final Fantasy XIII Chocobo from Xbox, which I signed her and Steph up for back in December. Turns out she might have deleted it... Fuck. Here's what it would look like.

Cute huh?

Steph got home from seeing Jonie at 6:54pm, and we talked for the next few hours, even cammed. She put a blog up about seeing Jonie and her baby, go check it out if you want to hear about it. Either way, I'll talk a little about it. Turns out they named him Justin Wade Meyers, and he has more gas than Russia. Yes, Steph, I just put that down. She didn't think anyone would get it on her blog, so I just couldn't help putting it down on mine. We got in a little argument about her going out with Jonie some night in the future... To the bar, to get a beer. I didn't really mind, I mean I trust her and all. I'm more worried about other guys, and while all who read this probably thing I'm trying to control her... It's not that in the least. You see, I've had a few relationships in the past, and I've been cheated on quite a few times. I've been argued with, abused mentally, and physically... And while I might trust her, I don't like or trust the situations she might be in. I feel bad for it, but there's not much I can do. I know it's been way more times than I can count, that I've questioned something she's done, or planned to do... And might have gotten upset over it. I can't help it as much as I try to. I worry way too much about everything, even the small stuff... Or the small and stupid stuff. Everything that can happen, could happen, or won't happen... Can, and will happen my my book... It's just how my brain works. I fear things that are going to be easy, and I'm scared of things that really aren't a big deal. I know it's stupid, it's some stupid type of phobia I guess... I've been like this for a while now, and I'm trying to fix it. It irritates Steph to no end sometimes, but it can't be helped... And I'm sorry it happens. It's just, I love her with all my heart, and I don't want something bad happening to this relationship. I want to be in this for the long haul, you know? I really really, genuinely love this young woman, I don't want anything to change or hinder that... That's all.

We talked for the next few hours, and we got over that small argument relatively quickly. We talked it out, and that's one thing we always do... Even if it takes a little while to do so. While we talked... Mom and Nick kept on cooking, and let it go for a while before going into the bedroom to watch TV. Well, Mom got online, and apparently she got an offline from her cop friend, Larry. Nick got all bent out of shape about it, but I didn't know that for a little bit. That, and Mom got an email from this guy David she knows in Singapore. Nick dosen't take kindly to her having friends... What a fucking dickhead. Dinner was ready at 8:40pm, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and corn... Nick and Mom got into it about her talking to people online again, apparently something happened there. He was finishing up cooking, and she went in the bedroom after he made a big damn deal about it in the kitchen, he finished dinner up and said we could eat, then went in there to continue the fight. I overheard some stuff, basically him accusing her of all this shit about talking to guys online, and getting emails, and this and that. Bullshit. So she left there and came out here in the living room to talk to us, and cried over it, because they're her friends and he won't let her talk to them. And she hasn't talked to anyone in months because of him being jealous about it. I asked her if she wanted to leave tonight, and she said no, and for us to go and eat. Me and Bethy said we loved her, and we went to get our food, I got Pepsi. Stephen and Emily came down, and got their stuff, they're eating in the kitchen with Nick. Me and Bethy and Mom are watching Dog The Bounty Hunter... Nick confronted Mom about coming in to eat, and tried to pull her up to go in and eat with him, she pulled away and said she wasn't hungry. So he left her alone in here with us, and went in the kitchen to eat with Stephen and Emily. While we ate, I talked to Steph on the laptop until my eyes started bugging out and I needed to wash my face. It's been doing that for a little while where I'd need to go and take my glasses off and wash my face off to get it to stop. I don't know why it does that, maybe my lenses are making my eyes react to it. Maybe they just need cleaned a little better, I don't know.

When I fixed my eyes I went back to the computer and we talked for a while more, and at 9:45pm I needed to help Steph get her rubber band out of her keyboard since it got stuck when it fell between the T and the G. She was trying to clean her earrings, and te gauges she wears need to be held in place with rubber bands. And when she was cleaning them it just happened to fall somewhere and she couldn't find it. One was on the floor, which she found, and the other embedded itself under the T and the G. It was a long grueling process for her to try to get it back... But at 9:53pm, after telling her how to pry the keys off, and to unplug the keyboard, and a text message from her phone to me, she got it out. Here's the conversation we had in the process of trying to have her figure it out :) So cuuuuute.

DracoRevera 9:46 pm
Hey, um, I think I need your expertise, computer man...

Inshateide 9:46 pm
Yes dear?
Or damsel in distress?

DracoRevera 9:47 pm
I found my rubber band. It's.. um.. between the G and T >.>
I don't know how to get it out...

Inshateide 9:47 pm
Use a tweezer, or a safety pin.
Or you could pry those keys off.
Is it under the keys?

DracoRevera 9:47 pm
I'll try the tweezers and safety pin idea first, but yes, it's under them.

Inshateide 9:47 pm
Well shit.
You'd be better off taking the keys off.
just those two.

Inshateide 9:48 pm
Don't need you getting zapped, unplug the keyboard.

DracoRevera 9:48 pm
*cries* Fine. Hold on a sec while I climb on the damn desk...

I spent the next few hours still talking to Steph while watching Dr. Oz with Mom and Bethy. She eventually got tired and wanted to go do something else, so I said whatever and did my own thing for a bit. There was this set of 2 Dragon Age: Origins codes on Ebay for $5.49, and I wanted to get them. All because I plan to get all of those download-able items for that game before they expire... Just because that game looks bad ass and I'd really like to complete the set so I have them for it, since I'm in love with the game - And hell, I don't even have it yet. Well, I asked Mom about getting it, and she told me no, so while Steph went to do what she was doing, I decided to sit here and try making money on an old website I used to use, that credits to Paypal - Dollarsurveys.net. This website, I've made about $35 on over the past few years. Sure, I could have had more, but it got boring and repetitive, so I plan to start doing it more just so I have some spare cash laying around for online purchases. It took me about a half an hour to 45 minutes to complete all the surveys... And if I'm lucky, I'll get paid for all of the ones I did, and wake up some morning to about $10 credit on my Paypal. Bethy and me got to talking about her being worried about Steph moving in, and us not being able to do the same stuff we used to do. I tried telling her she's worrying too much about things, but she got all pissed off and said this is why she doesn't like talking to me. After this, she went and talked to Mom for a long time, while I called Steph and talked to her. I told her what was bothering me, it's not hard for me to hide it. She wanted to know what was wrong, and I told her. We talked about it for a little while and we decided on some ways to change things for the better. I think it would make things a lot easier if we did them... So we plan to when we get the house, and when she sees me again. I decided to get off the phone with her around 1:30pm, and try to talk to Mom and Bethy about things. She was alright with it, but she wanted to make sure I wasn't upset or anything, sad or depressed about things we talked about. I was alright, so I said I loved her, and missed her, and I wished her a good night sleep. When we got off the phone I went and talked to Mom and Bethy about everything.

We talked for a while about everything, and I told Mom I felt her and Bethy were closer, and that I really don't like that. And that pretty much everyone I've had in my life, left. Friends, family, people I used to look up to, and talk to. She said she knows, and that I've done the same thing with dating people. That I haven't been there for them all that much. That I tend to focus on the one I'm with more... I disagree with this, but they kind of have a point. I want to talk to the person I'm with more than them, and I spend more time with the person I'm with more than them. I feel I've done a good job at juggling everything, but Bethy feels like I haven't, and that I'm ignoring her, and this and that. That things won't be fun after we move in and that Steph and me will be spending a lot of time together... I guess she's worried I'll leave her behind. I'm more close to my sister now, more than anything. And we talk for hours and hours, and we do things together, but I guess it's never enough to say I've tried to make her happy the best I could. She just doesn't see how hard I'm trying to balance it all out. And with her being 17 now, and soon to be 18, you'd think she'd see the bigger picture with everything. It's hard to live life trying to please everyone, and someone always gets the shaft. I can't help it, Steph is a big factor in my life, and I don't want anyone coming between me and her. Just like I don't want anyone coming between me and my family. I feel I've done a very good job at balancing things out, but they don't think so. Bethy won't discuss it with me, so I guess it'll just have to fall into place on it's own. Along with her comparing Steph to Kelly in many different aspects. It's something that really bothers me... You just don't do that stuff to people...

I don't know where to go with this, but I hope things change. I really love Steph, she's a wonderful girlfriend, and I don't want anyone messing that up for me... I'm sorry, but I really love her, and I don't want things ending just because of comparisons... Or because we want to go to bed at night, or do things together "privately" in my own new house. Things just don't always work in your favor, and you need to respect me for trying to please everyone. You'll understand when the time comes, when you start dating, and you'll see just how hard it is, and actually respect me for trying to keep it all together for both of you. You'll see, and I can't wait until you do. Because when you do, you'll be off my back, and you'll see it for what it is, and not how I'm acting... I just hope it's sooner rather than later. Just know this, okay? I'll always be your big brother. No matter what, I'm always here. Just because I don't have a lot of time to devote to keeping us as close as we were a few years ago, and just because I'm too tired to do something with you, doesn't mean I don't still care about you. I love you with all my heart, and while we're half-siblings, I consider you to be the closest thing I have to a sister. You are my sister, and if I can do something for you, you know I will. I just wish you'd cut me a break with life, and know I'm not going anywhere to leave you behind. I support you more than anyone else, and more than Mom and your Father combined. I've always been there - Through the thick, and the thin... And I think for once in your life, you can just respect me and the one I love enough to know this is what I want, and that I'm trying my damnedest to respect all of you. Please, just know that I respect you... Even if sometimes it's hard to show you that I do. I have a life too, and just because you might not have someone, and you might not have the things right now that I do, doesn't mean for you to immediately be pissed at me for how I live my life. Things will come if you wait for them...

I didn't get with Steph until after I was 22. This is the closest thing I've had to a real relationship, and you know it. I want this to last, and I want you both to grow closer too... Please, just be happy for me, let me live my life the way I choose to live it. Don't put your head down because you aren't happy. Mom said something tonight that was the best advice we've ever heard from her... If you want something, and you really want it, fight for it. Do what you have to do to make it happen. We're going to have a new house soon, in a completely different area. New stories are going to unfold, new friends are going to be made... It's a new beginning, so thing of it as one. Don't think of it as an ending. Your life is starting now. Don't you ever, ever doubt yourself and what you're capable of, you are so much more talented and smarter than you think you are. And while you might not agree with me on that, I know it's true... You're incredible at a lot of things, and you don't even know it. If you want to sing, then sing, and sing your heart out. If you want to learn an instrument, we can do it together, and Steph can learn too. She knows more about music than we both do, and she can help us both. She really likes you... A whole lot, and I really wish you'd worry less about how she acts towards you, and worry more about how you act towards her. She's a keeper for me, and she's done so much for you, that you should know she means well with everything she does. I'm not going to make a list to explain myself, but if you really think about it, she's done way more than anyone else that I've dated, combined. You know it, and if you sit down and think about it you'll see what I mean... But really, you can put your mind to anything, and if you want to do something then do it. Don't let anything hold you back, even me. If you want your GED, then get it. If you want your Diploma, then get it. Don't wait around for your life to start, get out there and make it happen. What can go wrong? So you fall on your ass, that's life. I've went to ITT, I fell on my ass, and I have a 35k loan to pay back... Am I giving up because of that? No. I'm going to work my ass off to pay off that shitty education, because that's life, and that's what I made of mine. As Mom has said for years, don't make the same mistakes I did. I want you to graduate, I want you to succeed... Don't worry about what people think of you and go out there and make something of yourself. Don't sit around waiting for something to come your way, make it come your way. The doors open Bethy, it's wide open for you... The only thing you need to do is walk through it and accomplish all of your dreams. You can do it, I'm behind you every step of the way. And I always will be. Always.

At 2:45am, Mom went and started watching TV in the living room, leaving me and Bethy to talk. She didn't want to, and was more focused on making a Rose out of Play-Doh, which I will provide a picture if she allows me. I got Mom to make some Coffee for me, since I didn't know the first thing about working Nick's Coffee Machine. So she made me a pot, and I'm sitting here drinking it as I type this. Bethy got mad at me and wouldn't talk about the situation... And she went to go watch TV with Mom, so I'm sitting here listening to Staind as I write this blog, while drinking Coffee no less... At 3:10am Nick ran out here to get to the bathroom in a rush. When you gotta go, you gotta go I guess? Who knows what the fuck his problem is... I know Mom already said she plans to sleep on the couch, she refuses to sleep with him. She's tired of his bullshit, and Bethy already gave her as big lecture on dropping him when we finally get the key and move into the house. One things for sure, I plan to. Stephen on the other hand said he can help me get a job, and a car, and I'm going to talk to him about it sometime soon when I have a chance to. Mom also said she plans to go down and visit Dean, but not to be with him... She wants her shit back, and Freida probably has it all. She's going to drive down there with Bethy sometime after we get back on our feet in the house, just go get her stuff back. She's also going to stop down at Jack's, which I don't agree with either of these, but whatever she wants. She's trying to rebuild their friendship, as he was all pissed about not getting any pictures of her the past few months when he asked about them. We didn't have money, ot a camera and he got all pissed off the one day when he didn't get them and decided to block her and stop talking to her. So she wants to go there and visit him and try to rebuild the friendship they had. She plans to take Bethy, but who knows what they're going to do. One other thing she mentioned is that when we move into the house, she wants us to take some time to rebuild our relationships up, I mean between us three. We've been so lost mentally the past year and a half, that things need to go back to the way they used to be. The family issues we've had, all the fights... We need to stop, and go back to what we used to have - The fun, and happy times. Where we used to laugh, and cry together as a family - This is before Steph decides to move in... I agree with her, because we need the time to regroup as a family and tackle out lives head on. One more thing, she said we might be leaving here today to go back to Brackenridge... We can stay with David until the church writes the check, and we can go and get the key from Newt. She's just so tired of Nick and his shit... I could go into more stuff, but it's private and I really don't want to post it here. Anyway, I'm going to finish my coffee and relax for a bit. I'm beat, and it's 4am. I need to sleep sometime soon so we can see how tomorrow goes.

Night everyone, sleep well.

Current Song: Default - Count On Me.

You might be worried about the title, and while sure, it's good news, some other stuff isn't. I'll keep you posted as soon as I know more. Full entry coming this evening, keep checking back.

Woke up at 10:30, overheard something about someone calling here and Mom asking Nick about if he called them and told them to call here, not knowing what the hell happened... I came down around 11am and asked what happened. Bethy told me... Apparently Uncle Carl called here and talked to Mom. Grandma's not doing well... And he's coming in two weeks to discuss what they're going to do about it. She's living in an apartment right now, and she hates it. They're supposed to be putting her in a home, and they're also supposed to be selling her house. The downside is, it needs a lot of work, and they want to fix it up. They're contacting a Realtor about pricing it with a quote, and Mom's the only one who really knows how to fix it all up. Uncle Carl said he'd pay her to help, and that we're still part of the family regardless of what Aunt Butty said, and that he don't care what the hell she says. We're still family. He wants to see us in two weeks, and Grandma's kids - Mom, Uncle Carl, Uncle Alan, and Aunt Betty are all supposed to have a meeting about what to do about everything. Apparently Alan used to be the Executive of her Will, but now Carl is... I don't know why, but he asked what happened with us. Mom said we've pretty much been homeless the past year, and he was sorry to hear that. We don't know how he found us, or got the number. The last big thing I mentioned family wise in my blog was getting back with the family, and Grandma being somewhere else... And Aunt Butty not letting us talk to her. I don't know what's going on, but one things for sure, I'm glad the family has finally called for us. Uncle Carl's always been nice and understanding, whereas Aunt Betty was a jerk most of the time. She's like the spoiled rotten litter sister figure. She always needs to do things to be better than us and Mom.

While I'm worried about what will happen, I'm worried about what will happen to Grandma too. While we've always had a rough family life, she's still my Grandma, and I don't want to see something happen to her. And while this situation is bad, I'm wondering if... This would be the best time for Steph to meet the family. I'm not sure, I'll need to see. I wonder if Jeannine will be there? I need to message her to see.

Current Song: Shinedown - Devour.

I went to bed at 1:30am, and I woke up at 10:30am. Mom decided to call Mary Beth and called her at 11:15am, no answer, answering machine... As usual. At 11:30am Mom and Nick talked in the kitchen about the voucher expiring tomorrow... We need to get an extension request faxed in case the house just doesn't go through. Mom had a few papers for me to sign, which were supposed to be getting faxed this afternoon. She had to send a extension request in with my signature on it for us to be able to extend it. She asked me to sign it, so I went into the kitchen, and signed the paper. At 1:20pm, Mom went to lay down with Nick, and I found out the date was wrong on the letter she wrote, asked her to come here to change it by rewriting another copy and having me sign it. She started this thing now where I need to go to her, bullshit right? At 2pm she got out of bed, Stephen and Lisa came down too. Then at 2:10pm she re-wrote the letter to fax, I signed it once again... Then at 2:20pm we left, stopped for gas, discussed leaving and going to David's because Mom's getting fed up with Nick. And on top of all of that, I got lectured the whole way there. About how Mom's at her breaking point and I need to stop it... Then at 2:30pm we stopped at Giant Eagle and I sat int he car... Bethy and her went in to fax the paper, and I cried while they went inside... It just seems like everyone's ganging up on me, and I fucking hate this bullshit... When they got back, I kept getting lectured... Mom had sent the fax, and while they were in there they got cookies.

At 2:40pm they went to dollar store, then at 3pm they came out, drove towards the bank, and we kept discussing leaving and either going into the shelter or going to David's because she's tired of Nick... At 3:15pm got back, discussed leaving, went inside. 3:25pm Bethy packed a little, then at 3:30pm Bethy got shower, I got online on her laptop, and Mom's in the kitchen smoking, staring into space, while drinking coffee. At 3:32pm first alarm went off, at 3:54pm Mom called Mary Beth back, answering machine, third time today... Go fucking figure. Then at 5pm Mom went to take stuff to the van, nick stopped her on the way out the door. 5:05pm she went outside and took the stuff to the back of the van trying to pack up in case we left... 5:06pm Nick went out after her, and I watched from the living room window. At 5:15pm they both came inside, Mom's in tears, then shortly after that, guess what? Nick and Mom were hugging in the kitchen, and she's crying, think he said sorry...

At 5:25pm Stephen and Lisa came down... Then at 5:26pm I confronted Mom, saying we can stay here. Nick's big bright idea is staying here until tomorrow, then we'll drive there to confront Mary Beth. 5:27pm Stephen said he was joking about the garage, no one's trying to push anyone out of here... Yeah right, could have fooled me dude... There continued to be a lot of random conversation, Miss Prissy was attacking the wall, so I grabbed her, and played a bit, then gave her to Bethy. At 6pm Lisa Left, Mom kept cooking dinner, and finally she said we could go... I just needed to look up locations and times. So at 6:40pm we looked up hours and directions to Hot Topic, Mom called to check on the exact location and stock items that we wanted to buy. Then at 6:50pm Stephen's Mom showed up for dinner... Joy... At 7:00pm Mom went and laid down with Nick.

Not for a... Long story, best suited for a rant blog, but here's the summary.

We ate dinner around 7:30, we were going to Robinson, but we had to wait until they were done eating. Mom finished and smoked, we left here around 8pm. We thought it was going to be us three, but Nick came. My guess would be because he thought we weren't going to Robinson and were going to Davids instead. When we got outside, we figured since he was coming, that we'd be taking the car.; Nope, we had to take the van, which had three seats vacant. We had to move all this shit just to get a 4th seat ready for us to leave, took about 10 minutes. When we were driving there, Mom asked us where first, and we said Hot topic. We had called beforehand and got directions, and asked if certain things were in stock, remember? Well... We got in Robinson and Mom asked again, where first, so Bethy snapped and said we told you Hot Topic <.< Mom started following the directions to the store based on what the guy working there told her when she called... Nick butted in which made him tell her some different way to go...

We went that way and he got her lost. Luckily, it was straight ahead. We got there, and Mom was going to sit, she was going to give us her card, and Bethy wouldn't have been able to get anything because they would have carded her. So Mom had to come inside. Nick was going to sit, but then came inside and sat - He had no purpose in coming. We got into Hot Topic and looked around. I found my shirt and carried it around, Bethy looked for hers, and they didn't have it - When we fucking called and they told us they did. She found her makeup, and she thought they only had one for the pigment that she wanted. I went and looked and she read it wrong, and I found the other one she wanted. So she got both of her pigments, but no shirt for In this Moment. So we went to checkout, and everything. And this chick came over and waited on us. I asked her about the shirt and the code you got when you bought it. She didn't even look for them, she just stood there and tilted her head to look around the desk and said Oh, we're out... She said she didn't see them, and she asked someone else who worked there. He said they'd be in this spot and if they aren't there they were out. So she like... Turned her head, looked, and said no we're out, sorry... Heh.. So I put the damn shirt back. Bethy got her stuff, and she was pissed about her shirt, I was pissed about my shirt. Which also said "Do not Restock" on the shirt... It had a little note to the employees on it -.-;.

So they're "out" of codes from what they said. Which means I need to look somewhere else >.< Then we left there and Nick sat on the bench outside of the damn store... He was inside for like 5 minutes, then sat there on a bench. He didn't contribute to anything, he was just baggage that wasn't needed to be with us. They saw Claire's right next door, and Mom found these earrings she wanted with feathers on it. She was going to get them, but then didn't. Either Nick said not to, or she just didn't. Who knows.. She wanted them but didn't get them. By then it was like 20 minutes to 9pm. All the stores closed at 9pm. There was a Gamestop right next to Claire's but up a bit, so I walked in and talked to the guys there. I asked about preordering Mass Effect 2, and he said, yeah you can still do it. And I asked about if I preordered it right now, can I have a code... He said yeah, but he didn't have them in that store. And that I need to go to the other location in Robinson to get the preorder and the code, because that's there they were doing tbhe midnight release... At midnight. So we left there, I was pissed. He just said the Town Center location, so I said fuck it and we took off to Best Buy. By then I had 10 minutes to get there. I told Mom where to go before we got in the van, because that's where the Best Buy was. Nick told her to go a different way. He got her lost again. If she would have listened to me, we would have been there with time to spare, but no, we got there at 8:55pm and I had to run the fuck in and look without any employee help. I got it, ran to checkout, and then I looked at it and said WTF? It didn't have collector's on it, so I had to run BACK to the spot where they had them, and look again. I didn't see them... So I said fuck it and ran back up. Went to check out, and I asked the guy about it. He said there were two barcodes on the back, and he scanned the right one. Asked for ID, which I didn't have. Thankfully Mom was there with me. It came to like $5, which was good, because if I preordered it at Gamestop for the collector's it would have been $10.

I have a week to pick it up from tomorrow, otherwise they shelf it. So when we were done there we went looking for this dame Gamestop. There's 4 Locations in Robinson. One in the mall, and three surrounding it. So we drove around. One was closed, then we'd drive around. Second was closed. Then we drove around, and by this point Nick's taking Mom every which way, she's a nervous wreck because we're driving around like a fucking maniac looking for shit. If she would have listened to me and Bethy we would have been fine, but no, she listened to Nick and got lost as always because he thinks he knows everything. Finally we found Town Center. And the Gamestop. They were closed. So I missed out on it, and said I'd need to buy it online. And Mom got all pissed off about it, because she asked me this morning if I needed to go to the bank and put money in to get it. And I said no. Because we were going out tonight and I could get it at Gamestop tonight... And I told her I told her this, and she was all ASDKIFSDIOFJASDNHJDAsjke about it... So she needs to go to the bank tomorrow to put $12.50 in so I can buy the one on Ebay, because we missed out on the Gamestop preorder...

Then they went to get Milk in Imperial, and me and Bethy bitched about Nick in the car. He fucked it all up... He didn't need to come, and because of him, we were running around like a fucking maniac. And I'm almost positive he came fearing we were going to Davids. And I'm almost positive he got Mom lost purposely, so I couldn't get to the places I needed to go. So I got my preorder, and I got my code for one of them. So... That's good at least. I need to call around to Hot Topics and see where they have codes still :/ I'm half tempted to send them an email and bitch saying I bought the shirt and didn't get my code. Sorry for the long rant, that's my night... -.- Missed 24 too since we got back just after 10pm... So I spent the rest of the night talking to Steph about everything, she thinks Nick's a real asshole. She told me about her night and I told her about something that happened yesterday...

I went to bed at 1:30am last night. You'll never guess what happened... 2am last night, some dumbass from Microsoft put all the Mass Effect 2 downloads up. Even the preorder and collector's edition ones. Tons of people who were awake got them for free by accident. I missed out... The Preorders, the Collector's pack, the Dr. Pepper ones, the PC exclusive one, and the first download pack. All of them were posted for free. Then by 8am, they were all taken down. I woke up at 10:30am... I was sooooo pissed off. It would have enabled me to save a lot of money had I caught this in time...

And Mary Beth, she uh... She didn't answer at all, so Mom called around 5pm, and she was all "Yeah Mary Beth, this is Jane Klein calling... I've been trying to get ahold of you, it just seems like you're avoiding us... If you know something about the house, could you please call us back so we know? Call us at -------- thanks".... Something along the lines of that. So apparently, because we were originally going to leave and go to David's, Nick said we'll drive there tomorrow to see her. I dunno what's going on though. I'm fed up with her. So, as of right now. We faxed the paper for an extension request... Called her to no avail... And I got my preorder. That's my night in a nutshell.

Spent the rest of the night talking to Steph about The Sims and Rollercoaster Tycoon. Something funny happened at work today with Steph, the one snake got stuck in a tube XD Haha... He came out on his own though, after a while... Big worry, now relieved. Steph don't know what she's doing tomorrow since we don't have the key :/ Hopefully we figure that out too. We got to talking about this Large Breed Puppy that came into work today too, something about Puppy Food and changing it from Puppy Food to Real Dog Food at a year old... The lady didn't listen, as usual... Steph's right. Steph also needed to scoop her dragon tank out because she got lettuce and carrot everywhere because she missed the bowl... Called her at around Midnight, after her dad walked around in his underwear on webcam twice... Awkwaaaaaaard...

And that's my day, I'm officially John Bauer now because of all the running around I did... Wish I had a split screen to replay it for you tonight... Haha

Night all.

Current Song: Rise Against - Savior.

Really you are... You're perfect, and you always do so much for me that it's hard for me to find ways to appreciate it and thank you for the things you do for me. You often go out of your way to make this work, and make me happier, even make you happier. Just everything you do is nothing less of a blessing to me, and while I'm not really religious anymore, there's no better word to explain how it feels to me. You truly are my angel, and a blessing with everything you've done for me. I love you with all my heart, and I hope you never ever have any reason in the world to leave this behind. I guarantee once we get this house, things will fall into place more so than they are. Just stick with me, I'm going to do what I have to do to make this work and give you the world... I love you, so so much... And I can never find the words to say to thank you for this wonderful relaxing stay at this lovely hotel... Just know, I love you with all my heart, and plan to give it back to you when I can. I love you, more than you know. Never ever forget that, or question that.

We woke up at 8:00am, and laid in bed for a bit trying to wake up. We were going to do some stuff, but I said I was too hungry and wanted Breakfast. So we got up, took turns hobbling to the bathroom, and got dressed to go downstairs. When we got there, there was only one other couple who got on the elevator with us, who were also the only other two people there eating. We got some food, they had Omelets filled with Cheese, and Sausage, and Biscuits... Muffins, Bagels, Bread... Bananas and other fruit... Juices - Orange, Apple... Milk, Yoghurt, Coffee... Tea... All kinds of shit. But we got plates of food, I got like three Omelets, and two Sausage patties, and from there some Coffee. I fucked up and got Decaf because they moved it so I needed to drink it and wake up on my own. This is the first time I've ever really liked Coffee. Steph just, did it a certain way and I really enjoyed the taste of it so I've been making my own since we've been here :) Very good Coffee. Made it last night and today, and if I can I plan to keep on drinking it this way too. We finished eating and right when we started going up for seconds people started pouring in. Not many, I'd say at most about 15 total... Plus the worker who had to keep refilling the trays and everything with food. I went back up and got some more Omelets, a Yoghurt, and a Muffin. Got some more Coffee too, this time I made sure it was Regular. Then when we were getting ready to go back to the room, I wanted to get online and look for a local Best Buy around the Robinson area so Mom could try to preorder Mass Effect 2 for me. Steph took everything upstairs while I checked the directions and store hours to print them. Printed them out and then I went back upstairs to be with Steph.

Called Mom when I got up there, and she apparently was sick last night. Nick was the one who answered and was the only one awake at his place, so I needed to wait to talk to them. When that was over and done with, we had some alone time together... -Cough-, then went to go and swim a bit before we had to leave to check out of the hotel. We were the only ones down there again, we got down there at 11:40am, didn't leave the pool until 1pm. One of the Maintenence guys came in to check on the Pool and asked us how the water was, we said it was great. Steph carried me around the Pool, and wanted to see how long she could hold her breath while she did that. So she went back underwater, and it was like a see-saw, I had to swim to let her back up. Well I didn't do it right away and she said it's nice that she can depend on me to save her :P We joked around a bit and got into talking about me knowing stuff about that, since I took those Merit Badges when I was in Scouts. I forget how to do CPR, so she told me how and I remember how now. We did some handstands, and got in the Hot Tub a bit. Shortly after that Steph got out and wanted to go back upstairs to pack, and instead I jumped back in the pool. She followed for a few, and then got out. When I was about to get out I'd keep going underwater and kept doing handstands in retaliation. I didn't want to get out of the water, and was having fun with it :) She laughed, so that was good. The joke got old quick so I just got out of the Pool and the steps, and we tried off and went back upstairs. We had an hour to finish getting ready and packed up to leave.

When we got to the room we hurried up and did some videos and pictures of what the room looked like, these pictures will be divided up between this entry and yesterday's entry. I won't post all of them, but I will post a few. We got a quick shower. She used a minor amount of shampoo, and used all of the conditioner, whereas I just used the rest of the shampoo. There wasn't much in these little bottles, so we just finished them getting a short shower as fast as we could. We packed everything up after that, and checked and rechecked everything we might have forgot. We went down to check out at 1:45, and I took some more pictures and videos of the downstairs - Pool, Exercise Room, Arcade... I needed the key to get in so Steph couldn't check out yet, I had to hurry up and do that. I went and took the pictures, and got some water from the Exercise Room's water machine. Ended up slamming my head against the TV when I was taking pictures. Compared to last night, when I slammed my head against the Hot Tub railing in the Pool room when I was doing a video. I ended up running out of space on my card in the Exercise Room, so I never got to the Arcade to take more pictures of it. When I was done doing that, Steph went and checked out and only gave them one card, as I kept the other. I went and deleted a few things we didn't need so I could do a video of the Breakfast Room. It was 30 seconds, I'll post that below. Then we got Coffee, and made it to our liking and left to drive back home. Checked out at like 1:50pm.

Along the way I called Mom and asked her about Best Buy, she said maybe. Bethy got on to talk to me and made the note that I sounded really really happy. I told her I was drinking Coffee, haha, and she said that was why. We didn't get back until close to 3:30pm, we had to stop at Sheetz in New Castle along the way to get gas, and something to drink. I got two more Dr. Pepper's with codes under the cap, and Steph got some type of water beverage that people at her pet store have been drinking that she wanted to try. We talked the whole way back, and I found my way from New Castle through Moravia for her so she could save some money on the tolls. Unfortunately she didn't save any... I think we went to the wrong entrance, but we didn't know where else to go, as that was the one we got off on yesterday when we tried to figure that route out to save money in the first place. But like I said, we got back to Nick's after 3:30pm, and we stuck around for a bit. Emily and Lisa was here, which made an awkward situation for everyone. No one seemed like they were alright with the whole thing. So we sat on the couch and watched movies with Bethy until after 6pm. Me and Steph just cuddled and enjoyed some relaxing time together. I thought she was acting weird, but she was just tired... She was falling asleep on me when I was resting on her shoulder. I didn't want her to leave but she needed to because she had things to do at home that needed done. So at 6pm, I had to walk her outside to her car. She said bye to Mom and Bethy, and I walked her down, telling her I really wanted her to stay as much as I knew she needed to go. I cried as we kissed each other goodbye, and gave each other a hug. I didn't want the weekend to end, I had too much fun and I didn't want her to leave me here after such a fun weekend. I sucked it up and she had to leave, I kissed her goodbye once more and blew her a kiss as she drove away. Someone in a black car took off shortly after she left, I was worried they were following her, but I figured it was nothing.

When I came back inside, I asked Mom about Best Buy while worrying about that car that took off... Mom said for me to call, she put it off as usual. I ended up calling Best Buy, since they closed a little bit from now since it was Sunday. It took forever to get a person to talk to, but they connected me with Games, and I asked the guy about Mass Effect 2. Luckily, they had more than 15 in stock to pre-order, and said I could come in tomorrow night to pre-order it and still be able to get it. So I told Mom about it and we just figured we could go tomorrow. Steph got home at 7:30pm, she didn't notice anything about the black car that took off after she did, there wasn't anyone following here so that's good. I uploaded the pictures after sorting them out -Cough-... And I zipped and sent them to Steph with a set password in place for protection. Steph was home for a little while, and found out the Steak was put in the freezer, which was a big thing when we were at the hotel. Thankfully her dad remembered to put it away. And the confirmation code was no where to be found. Steph wrote in an earlier entry, but a more recent comment - Yesterday the 25th - That she found it in her bag - We're covered. Shortly after that, her dad sent her to go to the store, and I just let the transfers continue. He gave her money for the things he needed, and paid for them to get Burger King :) Which was nice of him. She came back and we talked for a while about her dad and him not knowing about the room. She doesn't want to tell him because if he found out he would say you can pay for a hotel room but you can't pay me back? Because she owes him for him helping her pay for her getting a car. So he'd be upset if he knew about the hotel room, so we won't tell him.

We also talked about the pictures since I sent them over to her, Steph seemed odd all weekend though... Turns out after asking her about it, she told me something was up. She was worried about her account bouncing because of the room. She checked and rechecked about her account being fine. She think she'll be alright, but she's worried either way. We got into this thing about lying and not telling each other things, and I don't want it to come to that. That's how relationships fall apart, and I want to be sure we never get to that type of point, or have any issues with it. So she agreed and said she'll find out about the account tomorrow morning, no sense worrying about it now when we aren't completely sure if it'll be bounced. And she's almost positive it won't be... Here's hoping. We talked about getting the room again, and me driving next time, along with paying for it. Or just, paying for an extra night. Either way it's okay with me as long as I have the money to do it for us. The pictures I sent her kept on stopping around 85% done, I had to keep closing AIM out because Bethy's laptop kept being a jerk with it... Eventually it kicked over and completed, and Steph got to see them. Like I said, I sorted them out, and most of the stuff was separated perfectly. She spent the next few hours looking at them and watching the videos. Then this happened, and I wrote it out... Kind of funny actually.

Stephen: Does anyone need in the tub because I'm going to hop in.
-Silence from Nick's room-
Stephen: Going once..... Twice..... Three times.... Okay.
-Stephen walks out here with Lisa-
Stephen: Do either of you need in the bathroom? I'm going to get in the tub.
Me and Bethy: Nope, go ahead.
Stephen: Okay.
-Him and Lisa go into the bathroom and just a minute or two later I sit here on the laptop overhearing Mom and Nick-
Mom -To Nick-: Did they go to bed?
Nick: No, didn't you hear what Stephen said?
Mom: No.
Nick: They were going to get in the tub.
- - -
Me -To Bethy-: This is where Mom waddles out here. (Since she always has to pee)
Bethy: What?
Me: didn't you hear what Mom said?
Bethy: No.
Me: Stephen said he was going to get in the tub, and they went in the bathroom and Mom just asked Nick if they went to bed. And he said no, didn't you hear them? And Mom said no, and I just said this is where she waddles out here.
Like 10 seconds later...
-Bethy laughing hysterically, looks over at me-
Bethy: FUCKING PRO HAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHHAHA!!!
-Mom's waddling over to the bedroom doors to Nick's room-
Mom: What?
Me and Bethy: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL OMFGWTFBBQ
Me: I'M FUCKING PSYCHIC!
Bethy: Tweet that now XD!

God that was funny XD... Then me and Steph talked about documenting different things, that I like to do videos and take pictures, and she never really did. She can remember it, and while I can too, I'd prefer to have some type of digital medium that I can also remember things by. Which is why I always try my best to record or take photos of things. She likes that about me, which is good, because anyone else would have been annoyed with it by now. Thankfully, I can take pictures and do videos and she don't mind being in them either, and that's a great thing too. We talked about the camera video issues too, how there's always a clicking noise in them... It would be gone if I had a tripod, because up until now the videos have audio issues because of me moving around holding the camera.

One other thing. The inspector inspected it on the 12th, we saw it on the 14th. They have 15 days to get the work done and reschedule a second inspection to confirm the work. Those days are up Tuesday... So hopefully, we hear something so I don't lose my voucher. Me and Steph talked about the bedroom we'll be sharing sometime soon, and we figured out a Full bed, and two nightstands :) for us to use of course. Talked about a few other things in regards to the room, and the house, and shortly after that I called her. Before I called her there was one more thing that we discussed, and that was earlier when she was here watching movies... Emily walked from Nick's room to walk towards the kitchen, and Stephen was behind her. She stopped right in front of me and Steph, faced her ass to us, and picked at it with her hand <.<... Um, what the fuck? Seriously? It was just so odd... I don't know if she did it for a reason, or if it was involuntary, or what. It was weird, and Steph and me kind of got all weirded out by it.

Inshateide (11:34:21 PM): That was odd.
Inshateide (11:34:26 PM): I need to go find a phone.
DracoRevera (11:34:32 PM): What was odd?
Inshateide (11:34:42 PM): The one that was in the kitchen isn't there. Or at least it wasn't.
Inshateide (11:34:57 PM): I sent the phone thing and it didn't send to you, it like evaporated into data heaven
Inshateide (11:35:48 PM): And yeah, odd. The other thing that was odd that kind of pissed me off, was when Emily and Stephen came out of the room and we were laying on the couch watching a movie, and she just stopped right in front of us and started playing with her ass, then walked away O.o
DracoRevera (11:36:07 PM): Yeah I noticed that too -_-
DracoRevera (11:36:32 PM): I was like 'is she picking her butt wtf?'
Inshateide (11:38:18 PM): I dunno, I don't get it.
Inshateide (11:38:28 PM): I'm sitting here trying to explain it to Bethy and she's all you make no sense.
Inshateide (11:38:37 PM): She don't understand what the hell I'm trying to say.
DracoRevera (11:39:12 PM): About what? Emily?
Inshateide (11:39:22 PM): Yeah, her doing that.
DracoRevera (11:39:34 PM): *shrug*
Inshateide (11:39:48 PM): She didn't see it and I'm trying to explain and she don't get it lol
DracoRevera (11:39:57 PM): Lol
Inshateide (11:41:21 PM): Now she does, lol
Inshateide (11:41:27 PM): "I would fuck her" Lol.
Inshateide (11:41:45 PM): "MILF MILF"
Inshateide (11:41:46 PM): Lol
DracoRevera (11:42:24 PM): LOL
Inshateide (11:42:39 PM): She's funny XD
DracoRevera (11:42:47 PM): Yeah she is :P
Inshateide (11:42:56 PM): Anyway, I need to call you.

After that, I went to call her at 11:45pm, and shortly after we got off of the phone, I went to sleep, knowing full well tomorrow I'd try my best to go and get my Mass Effect 2 preordered... Hopefully, Mom doesn't give me the run around.

Night all.
