Let's Celebrate, It's All Right!

Gaylord was in rare form ALL DAY yesterday. I was about ready to kick him at 8:30am! He chewed me out for being lazy and blah blah blah and all I wanted to do was slam my door in his face because I am sick of the crap. His anti-Erin and anti-my trip thing is getting so annoying. I'm sorry, when did you become my father? Or really anyone in authority over me... oh, that's right, never! (seriously why does his family want him back? he's a massive tool)

Then, when he was done ranting I shut my door saying I was getting ready for my day. Which I was lying because I hadn't even showered yet, but whatever. I just needed an excuse, ya know?

Anyway he starts knocking on the door telling me I can't do laundry (I hadn't planned on doing any anyway) because the toilet was broken and he had parts all over the place. Translation - he backed up the toilet and left the mess. I told him I wouldn't go in there and left it at that.

Fastforward to Judy coming home and she comes into my room and asks about the 'damage'. I told her Gaylord told me NOT to go in there and so I didn't so I had no clue.

Bubba REALLY clogged up the toilet and the water hadn't gone down and Noah's flood had happened on the floor (he cleaned up a little bit, I'll give him that). So she started in plunging and it wasn't moving at all. So she decided to go to Ace Hardware across the street and find something stronger. Just about that time Gaylord came home and basically ripped her a new one for even teh idea of going out and spending money that the water would go down on its own. Considering he'd been gone for 8+ hours and the water hadn't gone down at all in that time should be an indication that you can't just wait for it to go down.

Then he got pissed off because she dared to say that HE clogged it. He swears up and down she did it (never mind HE was in that freaking bathroom doing God knows what in there for an HOUR After she left. TOOL)

So Judy got all ticked off for him being ticked off and it was just really tense in the house for a while. I offered to help with dinner and she nearly bit my head off. So much for finding a guy to make your life better, eh?

He slammed the door of the computer room - his computer is dying and that was way more important than the toilet he flooded. So Judy cooked dinner (yeay for fried chicken) and even THAT wasn't good for Gaylord because it's so unhealthy (he's the dude with the fat gut who eats rich foods all the time I just wanted to deck him).

By this time Erin called so I was on the phone with her for about an hour and then Gaylord gets on one of the other phones and tells me to get off. Erin didn't hear him so he got PISSED and was BANGING on my door and screaming that I needed to get off the phone now and that it wasn't just MY phone and I needed to HANG UP NOW. So I got Erin to shut up (she was singing) long enough for me to tell her I needed to go ASAP.

Then the phone died on Gaylord (I don't think it died I think he hit the wrong button) and he threw it out of the room and got one of the other phones... that also died on him ( I still think HE did something to hang up ) and he was just so mad because the dang phones were all crap and he couldn't get his blessed computer to work.

I'd had it up to here with him and took my dog out and then went to bed.









This morning he just told me not to touch his computer (like I ever have anyway) and that I needed to stay off the phone. I want to spite him so bad, but I'm afraid of what sort of tantrum it'll bring on. He's such a massive tool. I'm sure he'll play perfect angel while my parents are here (and he doesn't want them here at all but tough cookies, princess).


I just find it interesting that this coupling that God helped with (they say He brought them together) also seems to be thwarted by God. I do believe that all of these little bad things that are happening have more to do with God's disapproval of this whole thing than anything else. Granted, I don't believe either one of them are Christians, but at the same time Gaylord alone has gone above and beyond what's normal in the sin department... it's just so frustrating.

I'm not saying Judy shouldn't find a guy and fall in love and all of that, but no one in her immediate family approves of how she's going about it. She keeps lying to everyone - including herself - when she says my mom agrees with this partnership... or that Tony (Tom's son) does. Tony and I talked the other day on the phone and I don't think he approves as much as she says...

But yeah. It feels good to vent. 32 days until I am out of this situation for 12 days... I cannot wait!

After my emo evening post yesterday, I went to class. I was told that staying abstinent and being "Southern Baptist" was not a good thing for my sex. That until I've had a sexual relationship I am not a "woman". Yeah, my new US History prof sucks. I almost want my other prof back. This woman basically told me after class that I should be ashamed to be a Southern Baptist because they believe in holding women back. (ie, no women pastors, anti-abortion, conservative, etc) It really pissed me off and I spent the 30 minute drive home venting on my aunt. So yeah it was fun.

I then called and talked to Erin (bowlingbrat) for an hour after I got home and ate my Taco Bell (yum). I miss her, but it was great to talk to her, and just catch up. She has more "semesters" and "midterms/finals" so she studies more than I do. LOL But we had fun, and we laughed. And Erin informed me that she likes Heather more than me because Heather is nicer (see, Heather, you turn everyone against me! LOL). Just a few minutes with Heather and Erin bonded I guess. Odd. LOL.
Anyway she wanted me to let Heather know that so, there it is ;)

I'm also blessed to know the people I do. I love that I know so many of you. I love that I got to know Dale Gregory and Melissa and Denis. I love that I have the opportunity to work on their site. I felt very proud to just do graphics, but to be given this awesome responsibility of representing them online is just amazing for me. I enjoy it, and I'm very thankful for that opportunity.

I get embarassed when my dad gushes about my opportunities, but I'm thankful that I have a daddy that loves me and is proud of me. I'm thankful for a mom who pushes me and nags me, because she loves me. I'm thankful for a family that yeah I complain about, but that ultimately support me and want me to do well.

I'm thankful that I live in America. I'm even thankful that I was here during the 'reign' of Clinton. Sure I don't like some of the things I have to deal with on a regular basis (like being in college and being one of the only conservatives in the class that is run by someone who enjoys bashing Bush UGH). But all in all I enjoy this country and its freedoms.

I am thankful to get to go to college. Yeah it's a drag most days. And yeah it's liberal all the way. But I am thankful for the opportunity.

So yeah, I guess I'm blessed. :)
