Merry Christmas!
(I know, I'm a day - or two - late, but it's the thought that counts, right?)
So, for Christmas my parents bought me an
Apple MacBook, but they didn't even think about organizing anything about the lack of wireless internet, and I can't connect the way I do with mum's laptop.... So.... I'm screwed and have no use for it other than watching movies and tv for hours and hours on end.
(Oh, and use Word and those other Microsoft-y programs that are in Office.)
I'm a spoilt little brat, yeah. But I was counting on this for a bit of independence, to get away from my family who are, honest to God, suffocating me with their reliance on me for EVERYTHING.
(Hell, I even tried to convince mum to let me get MY OWN connection paid for with my money, but she refused. So instead I'm going to have to pitch in some of the $120 internet bill we pay. Joy, I don't even know how much I'll be paying; half? A quarter? My first born child?)
I sound like an ungrateful brat, which I'm not - I am totally thankful for everything that my parents give me, I just wish they weren't so in my face and yelling all the time.
And on top of the whole thing, the bank I'm with have suddenly stopped giving me the Under 18 Benefit used to pay my Service Fee, and $4 has been coming out each month since October. The only way I can fix this is if I go into a branch and talk to someone, which I either have no time to do, or no one to take me.
And I know, it doesn't seem like a lot, but my parents are breathing down my neck for me to get a job, mum's started researching cars for me that I'm meant to pay half of, and these are $13, 000 cars! I can barely get to $70 in my account, let along almost $7000!
Oh God, I'm just freaking out about all these things because suddenly, my new school is a month away and my whole fucking future is only 2 years away. (I only have 2 years to make this right, I only have 2 years to make my life mean something, I only have two years to prove that I am going to be brilliant, to prove that I will travel the world and I will work for amazing people, and then have amazing people work for me.)
And I'm trying to be so grown up but I can't do it, and I don't understand how everyone I know have these plans and these ideas and then the means to achieve all these bright and beautiful things.
Okay, so I'm going to stop talking now and go fall in a hole with a few million books and my imagination and possibly never, ever crawl back out.
Cause that would be way easier than living out the rest of this month, and then the rest of my life.
Happy New Year - incase I get lost somewhere or let the world swallow me up or maybe if I just go to some party and get completely smashed and end up sleeping for a week.
