The family friend asked us last week "what would you's like for xmas"

At that time mom was paying off 2 beds. 1 for me 1 for her. Her current bed.. the springs are stabbing her so when mom answered "we'd like our beds paid off" I went a long with it because she needs the new bed more then i do. Mine, the bed slats come out and stuff so my bed isn't that much of a big deal and i can wait for it.)

Well her docter is ordering her an at home hospital bed that her insurance is paying for so she took her bed off layaway and put ALL that money that was going towards hers, towards mine.. leaving only a little bit left to pay off.

Now she's been paying about 100$ a month for both beds. Told the family friend she pays between 15-20. (when i started to get upset)

Well since she let him know about the bed thing and stuff I asked, "If mine is mostly paid off, i can wait because I need a new manga book shelf." The one i have is made out of an old kitchen cubboard that an x made for me, it has a nail sticking out somewhere and its almost full and half my books dont fit anyway.

Mom goes "she wants the 50$ your offering instead" ._. did I say that? the book shelf I'm asking for is 60-70$ around xmas time.. 90 during normal times. So i said "what for? I can't get a bookshelf for that much." she goes "if we put your 50 together and my 50 together we can get your bed paid off faster" Which is what she was saying just because her friend is here. She wants the money to get cigarettes and who knows what else. I need a new bookshelf because i'm tired of getting scratched by that nail (which i showed them). take that nail out the damned cubboard will probably fall apart. and my bed isn't as bad off as moms so i can survive another 3 months.

She kept pushing and pushing I finally had to 'yell'.. I only ever yell at her when she gets like this.

its gotten to the point of I'm really disliking a happy holiday this year. >< one of my xmas gifts that i ordered for mom to wrap up for me is arriving today via UPS and I honestly.. wanna tell them to send it back (and its a manga i can't find at our new bookstore too).

That sucks Dk. I try to avoid asking for things I need at christmas and birthday time because it's one time where I can get fun things since I rarely spend money on them the rest of the year.

I'm just pissed that she's not accepting my feelings on this

Ah, I can understand that.

meh

so how's quiet? :3

Quiet is quiet oAo. That's too much! D8! *violently shakes Quiet* Dx!!!

What dk needs is a trip during the holidays. Just spend some time away from your mom and with some friends. You'll have some fun 83. Like...an extended slumber party xP

if only i could xD

things seemed to have cooled down now. (now that the family friend/money machine/perv isn't here)


My 1 xmas gift (Rabbit man Tiger Man v2) Arrived yesterday. I was checking my email, and saw that the amazon shipped thing had a tracking number and clicked it. it said that UPS was delivering it "TODAY" (yesterdy) so i told mom, when the ups dude gets here she had to open the door other wise I'd keep the manga >.>,

later that night she was all "Tomorrow we have to get up early and go to the hospital (t'z why i'm posting at 4AM) take something with you to do"

I was all "well i have new manga to read so I'l be fine"

she freaked out and was all "D8 no you don't!" forgetting that the family friend had gotten me the 2 Volumes of Sailor V the day before.. xD it was funny. =w= I just went this morning and was all "nya nya my new manga"

Quiet is tired. Quiet broke her record of hours (not) awake after getting up at around noonish and going to bed around 5-6pm. I did get up around midnight for my pills and something to eat but went back to bed again after that. Sigh. Anemia sucks.

Preach it, Quiet!

I'm not ready for the Holidays, either... I've already come to terms with the fact we're NOT having one. And that I'm not having a birthday, either. No money, no transportation, and I actually told my mom I'm giving UP my birthday, so she could use the little money we DO have, to make sure Zane, and my Sister have something for the day. =]

I'm working on Christmas cards as a break from school and such. Brain petered out just as I finished my quiz so it's break time. Anyone want a Christmas card? Can't send too many since I need to go easy on the stamps. Maybe we should have a trisphee "seasonal holiday" thread where people can leaves cards or pictures and such for the holidays. :)

My mom's birthday is tomorrow and we're taking her out to dinner. My sister, her husband and I are getting her Plan Canada donations in her name for her birthday, since she has enough stuff already, though I got her a stuffed animal Meerkat anyway. She likes things like that. She's commandeered my beanie baby sea otter.

OHHH! I WANT A CARD! I DO I DO I DO!

And I wanted to make a secret santa gift giving thread... but realized many people don't have the funds for that kind of thing this year..

I make some xmas cards for people this year but no paper xp

The way to do that, Batty, is to set an aurum limit, like 2k or 5k or perhaps different categories for each, and then let the santa's decide what to spend the aurum on, so people might get one big thing or a cluster of little things. If you make it common gifts or store items, then the values will be more or less comparable.

That's where you use newspaper or something and colour it. I still do that sometimes. I painted some plum blossoms on plain brown paper for my cousin's baby shower and wrapped her gift in it. She really liked it.

Or even just use the Sunday comics page, which is already colorful!

._. I draw my own stuff and write it. Hard to do if there are already words and art on it xp

I'ma ask the neighbor lady if she has any printer paper..

My cousins have been using fabric scraps and sewing gifts. I did that once on an evil gift wrap job for my sister. Sewed fabric around it twice along with the many layers of tape.

I got pc paper ouo yey neighbor lady!

*peeks into thread*
Hullo there guys! Mind if I join in? I'm stuck here at home because I have some sort of measle-like disease and my mother won't allow me to go to school :(

uwaa get better soon SinX ono

Thanks DK. Recovery is faster than I expected. So far I have no fever or anything that signifies an invasion within me except for the pale red spots on my skin.

ono evil red spots

no need to worry, as of now they're slowly fading away thanks to the proper medication i am getting. i feel perfectly fine.

I haven't been in here in a while.
Hope I haven't missed any user questions owo

imma go off for a while. finally got a match in League of Legends :)

I love LoL! The new patch is amazing. Mostly because I usually support. I haven't really tried out the new items for other roles.

So I finally settled on a gift for my sister, now I am hoping she likes it.
I don't think I'm that great with present hunting, meh.

I'm usually okayish at figuring out gifts for other people, but I SUCK at knowing what I want others to get me. :c Husband always has to pester me because I don't want things. Parents too. I'm not impossible to shop for, I appreciate most things. I just either have no idea what I actually do want and have to be told what I want, or I feel bad asking for things, or both. 8|

I buy stuff for people all year and forget that I do. I was pondering a Christmas gift for one of my sisters and happened to be rifling through my "gift bin" when I found what I bought for her earlier in the year. That was handy. :)

This thread has been a dozen pages of completely off-topic banter, mostly involving RP fights with Kami. :/

That is true. Ulti didn't miss much.

So I heardz Coda has a few jobs? I thought you only had one outside of trisphee.

No, two. And then some contract work that occasionally pops up for maintenance.

Whoa! Does Coda get to sleep? lolol xDDDD

That would be my question. I know working more than one job is hard, but then on top of that....yeesh....

>>; I am staff again! And... feel like answering questions people want to ask me.

You know, if that's a thing and all.

Do you have a little blurby thing on the front page? Every one needs a little blurby thing about themselves and it's totally not because I like to read them.

I... I don't think I have a blurby thing...

When I read that question I was like: WHOA, wait... staff gets a little blob pet thinger on their front page?!

And then I realized that didn't make a whole lot of sense. YAY STREP THROAT!

Oh yeah. "Blurb" is what we tend to use around here (or maybe just my mom and her relatives) to describe a short speech or written piece of some kind, like "write a little blurb about yourself."

Might possibly have linguistic relations to the word "blah."

I'll do one here in the next minute or so. C: Yay for random information!
