Well, A few nights ago, I e-mailed my sister about how my dad's been treating me like shit (seriously), and she says she knows what I'm going through.

Guess what?

She's offered to set me up at her place, get me a crappy car (yay!), and put me in the local high school (5,000+ students). She's also offered to get me into the University of Texas at Austin when I graduate!

Looks like things are finally going my way...

Nobody? Eh, I guess I'm on my own on this one, then.

Wow, you gave people a whole 8 minutes to reply. Gee whiz, how did you last that long? Must have felt like an aeon.

Well, seeing as you were the first person to post, I was expecting something like this. :p

I'm a wee bit used to people responding sooner than that, so there.

Well... it sounds like a good idea, and I'd be happy for you if it works out, if this really is what you want. I neither know much about you nor your family. I'm assuming you're either under age or in college and not earning enough to get your own place, and this is exactly what might cause you problems. If you wan't to move out, you're gonna have to find a way to finance ...everything, because more than likely your parents aren't going to approve?
But if it does work out somehow, I'm sure it'd be great!
I never had a sister, but when I first moved away from home I shared an apartment with three other girls and we had a great time! *sigh*... oh, the memories ;)

How is she planning to pay for putting you up? Or are you gonna have to get a job and contribute?

Well, she and her husband make about $85,000 a year total. Oh, there's no doubt I'd get a job to help out, but it'd have to be after I graduate.

She's just excited about me being a normal person, and is pissed off at the same time because our dad's treating me like dog shit because of who I am. She's even buying me an electric guitar, which adds to the level of ass-kicking.

You want my suggestion? Try not to take this the wrong way, but.....get out of Texas. My friend Erica transferred from here to Texas (I think the Dallas area, not sure though) while she was still in high school and she said that the standards of education are SO much lower in Texas. As a matter of fact, I could put you up in my spare bedroom if you want to go to my old high school, and by that point you'd probably be eligable for in-state tuition to KU, which is a darned good school in most respects, but then, I don't know you. And we'd probably fight over who has to use the downstairs computer, as my computer is ALREADY set up in said spare bedroom. So....in short....nevermind. Good luck in a fair-sized high school, hope your dad stops being a prick.....and what do you plan to study after high school, anyway?

Well, in Texas, it all depends on the school you go to, as there is no set standard for a cirriculum. Clear Lake High is supposed to have a pretty high standard, though I'll have to see for myself.

As for college, it depends on where my mind is set when I want to go. I might just say "fuck this" and go overseas in an exchange program.

No you don't Mr. Pot. We had a deal. I expect to see that accomplished. Or give me my 100 pounds of marijuana, several tonnes of Hentai, and 100,000 George W. Bush blow up dolls back.

Good for you.

She's even buying me an electric guitar, which adds to the level of ass-kicking.

She is going to kick you out once you start rockin' out those clunky "God Save the Queen" renditions.

woohoo! nice one dude, something to be happy about :)

your sister deserves fluffles :fluffle: :fluffle:

*looks around room nervously*

Deal? What deal?

*shifts eyes*

The British national anthem, or the Sex Pistols' anthem?

:D

She's just excited about me being a normal person, and is pissed off at the same time because our dad's treating me like dog shit because of who I am..

And you are?

Hey, Potaria. I don't know about your situation, but... :fluffle:

Being treated shit by family members is Bad, in the most profound sense of the term. You are doing the right thing by moving away if your dad's been mistreating you. And total kudos to your sister for letting you move in, and... from what it sounds like, giving you a whole new opportunity.

Good luck, Potaria.

:D
I vote on the Sex Pistols. Sorry Brits. I don't have to care today....Wednesday = insensitivity.

Simonist']I vote on the Sex Pistols. Sorry Brits. I don't have to care today....Wednesday = insensitivity.

I also vote for the Pistols. I shall play God Save The Queen with all the power and intensity of Jonesy.

:D

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
SHE AIN'T NO HUMAN BEING!

Excellent line :D

Actually, we Brits pride ourselves on our ability to take the piss out of ourselves, and that right there is some good shit ;)

Thanks, and yeah, she deserves an assload of kudos for this. So does my brother-in-law for being on my side (and why wouldn't he? my dad's insulted him more times than I can count).

:D

"Floyd the Barber" by Nirvana is a great one for pissing people off (and it's easy). Bonus points if you sing the lyrics.

"Floyd breathes hard...I hear a zip...pee pee pressed against my lips"

LOL! I shall do that, and I'll even record it for you. Oh, and I'll have to do Newest Industry. Definitely.

I know how much you love foreign monarchs.

And the "No Future" out chorus is one of the best ever.

Hmmm....Nowhere near abrasive enough for that "TURN THAT FOOKING MUSIC DOWN!" effect. Lessee....maybe some Black Flag? :D

I definitely don't like monarchs, but God Save The Queen has a good sound to it even still!

TV PARTY TONIGHT!!!

Now that would kick ass. And why the fuck aren't you on MSN exchanging musi--- er, I mean, uhm... Shit.

I can think of a monarch or two I'd like to cuddle.

Thanks for the mental image.

Meh, I would, but I have this thing lately...."OK, it's 3AM, time for bed. Hmm. I might check out NS first."

...and, it's now 6am. Going on MSN would only make things worse. Considering I have to fit a 2000 word essay in tomorrow. Somehow.

Ah, that's songs class.

You've just put me in mind to learn it. Not that it's particularly hard.

congrats pot. Your sister officially rocks. And sorry to hear things are that bad with your father.

Does this mean you will finally stop bitching about your daddy issues at every available opportunity? Also, I eagerly await your answer to Fass’s inquiry.

Fass:
And you are?

Potaria, someday when you're dad is old and frail, he'll come to you. He'll look you in the eyes, tears streaming from his. You hold him and....throw him in a car and put his ass in a nursing home.

Always be good to your kids, because they'll put you in a third-rate nursing home.

Go for it! Also, if you're in UT, I could demand you give me money and food if I'm still in Austin then (which I likely will be).

Was it too difficult for you not to post in this thread?

Where's the harsh, biting edge? You have to shove the broom up there, man.

You call that an "inquiry"? I call that being a dick, and really, I could say the same for you.

Still, what exactly are you?

Somebody who thinks for himself, for one thing. Overbearing, quasi-religious parents who were raised in a puritan christian environment hate that.

Pretend Fass is slowly being drowned in a vat of acid and the pain will go away. It's how I get through life;).

Oh, that was harsh. :D

Good luck, Potaria :)

And just 'cos you're all not bitter and twisted enough to understand Fass's humour :P

Nah, I understand it, I was just way too pissed off to play along with it. I'm not quite so pissed this afternoon. :D

Good for you, and big respect to your sis (and bother in law). So any ideas on what you'll study at Austin?

Well, no matter what university I go to, it'll involve music. I'd also like to learn a few languages (Latin and Japanese). I don't know exactly what other courses I'll take, but they will not be borning. Physics, perhaps.
