Tell your family that your interest in anime and games keeps you off the street and out of the drugs. That usually works for me. C:

What could be so hard about walking an angel home?

Thanks, but I don't think it'll work for me considering I'm pretty much housebound unless my mom is going somewhere and I go along for something to do. Not that there is anything to do in this little town anyway.

I noticed your message about the yukata. I may have trouble getting a picture to you. It depends on how long it will take me to find a digital camera. I'm not sure who would have one that I could borrow.

My mom is the worst problem right now. She just had surgery and she's been extremely difficult to deal with since before I moved here. My father just went to Ontario to work for 3 months so I won't have his support in dealing with her. He's had about as much as he can handle too. I can't even be on the net without sitting where my mom can just turn her head and snoop on whatever I'm doing. Everything has to be done exactly as she says and you are expected to jump to her every order, even though she may turn around and tell you the complete opposite 2 minutes later. I need out of here soon and I've applied for work in St John's, but she says she's going to leave Nan and Aunt Lil and move in with me.

Sometimes I wish I had found a way to stay in Alberta. At least then I had something resembling privacy and lots of friends to talk to.

Ai-ya.

... yeah, that about sums it up.

I don't see why you wouldn't have been able to stay here. There are jobs liek woah. (And if all else failed, I could have moved in with you somewhere.)

I know there are a lot of jobs, but I would have probably needed 2 of them in order to cover rent, student loans and food/transport. Given how crazy the rent was at the places I checked, I would have had no money for food. I saw one place that was a utility room in a 4-bedroom basement and it was about $600/month. This was the rent for each of the 4 people that would live there. I pay over $500/month in minimum loan payments so I wouldn't be eating with WEM wages. I've also seen ads for 1 bedroom apartments at over $1200/month. I only paid $415/month at Cheryl's house. Even though there are fewer jobs here, our cost of living is also a lot lower and I don't have to pay rent so it's as much as I can do now. I did get a call about a job in St. John's at a call center. I might be starting training April 25 and earning $11.50/hr so it might not be too bad.

However, my mother is thinking about applying there too once she's cleared to work. I don't think she realizes how much I despise that idea. If I'm going to move again, I want it to be away from her so I can have my privacy.

I guess we could have moved in somewhere together, but things were a bit too crazy that time of year for us to really make plans. It would've been nice, but I would have had an emergency trip to make at the end of September. Nan was in the hospital and everyone was called home because we weren't sure she was going to make it. She's fine now, but she is 89 and it is a good idea to have some time with her while I have the chance. I have a lot of relatives in their 80s around here. We lost one of my great aunts and another had a heart attack/fall with broken hip just in the last month. I think I need to be here for now, but that doesn't make it easier. Sometimes it's like living in a nursing home, especially if someone is sick. Aunt Lil has a lung infection and Nan was telling her to "listen to Nurse George" when I was giving her medicine today.

I think I remember you saying you were on Neopets once. I'm on there as rillcrystalwing and rillcrystalwing1. I ended up with 1 side account already. How would I find you there? I just got MSN messenger to work a few days ago. It should be fairly easy to find me there. I've got a couple of possible contacts, but I don't recognize the id so I won't answer.

I added you as a neofriend... I think you'll know who I am XD

Good for you on the call center job~!

... and if all else fails, and you get a chance to flee back out west... lemme know. We'll work something out. (Jimmy and I are planning on buying a house, and he's entered in the Full House lottery.)
