I am so cotton-picking FRUSTRATED!!!
I have so many inconsistencies. I'm sure they are quite obvious. But in the last week I have been accused of having a double standard more than once. A false accusation in the subject it's been addressed to, and it really, really bothers me.
And i am really tired of people thinking it's still funny to tease me about where I'm from and that I got here as quickly as I could, or that I need to just forget that I have a family back in Minnesota and accept that this is my life, blah blah blah blah blah-blah.
Please. Let me just save y'all the breath and walk away.
See this? This is me walking away. Right now.
I'm highly irritated tonight. And that is the extent of my rant. Though I could go on for a lot longer. It seems to me that it might be a bit easier when I actually have a house, a living room, a washer and dryer and a stove all to myself. I am getting really just done with using those belonging to other people---especially when the inconvenience I am to them is barely veiled.
Ugh. I need a vacation from my life.

oh for the times when xanga was unknown to my extended in-laws...
Not that I really should care what my husband's mother's half-sisters think, but ya know? Sometimes I just get irritated. I can write a whole post about something, and all they pay attention to is one sentence, or one paragraph that they disagree with. Then they leave comments as long as my entire post.
I was really hurt by that when we first moved here. It didn't matter what I said, or wrote about, or thought, they found something they didn't like about it. Now I can generally anticipate what will set them off, and occasionally choose to write about it anyway.
Take the latest, for instance, about Halloween. I've researched the origins, I've researched the meaning that it has for Satanists, Wiccans, cultists and those generally out to do harm. It's an evil holiday. We don't celebrate it.
They do. That's fine. But they both admit that it's origins are evil and say at the same time that they celebrate it anyway, and don't teach the origins to their children and grandchildren.
Somehow, that seems rather inconsistent to me.
