Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I hate moving. Especially the cleaning part.

All I did all weekend was clean. On Friday, I weeded and mulched. On Saturday, I cleaned my room, cleaned the bathroom, (both like spotless) and cleaned off some desks in the house. On Sunday, I washed all the doors and woodwork in the house (yes, clean woodwork is going to sell a house??) and a bunch of other things that my parents told me to do. Every time I stood still for even a second, my mom was snapping at me. "Why don't you go do something?!?!!! We have a million things to do, and you are just standing there!!"

We had a house showing earlier this morning. My dad was home, and the realtor came over and had someone to look at the house. They were there to put the sign up in the front yard. They were there at 12 and they said that the person would be there at 12:30. They came at 12:10. My sister hadn't made her bed, put clothes away, she left clothes on the bathroom floor, and left dirty dishes in the sink. It is sifficive to say, that didn't go well... It was this old lady anyways. Why would she want a big house like ours, anyways??

Oh, boy I have a headache. We have another house showing now, and so I had to take the dog with me. she is pouting because she thinks she is going to the kennel. Stupid dog. ((haahaa))

I have only 12 more school days left in high school. Isn't that sad? No, i didn't think so either. OH! They have this trip for seniors in Florida to Disney, (I didn't go) but one of the buses that came from my school burned up!!! They all got out because the bus had a flat tire, then a spark was lit, and the whole thing went up in flames. I would have gone to see that!! All the kids lost everything on the bus (there backpacks, cameras, things they bought...) Well, that was the excitement at school.

My dad broke the AC yesterday, so we didn't have it last night. But they fixed it this morning....but it is still hot outside. (which is making my head hurt...)

Did I say I am excited to be going to Nebraska ever??? Well, I am.

Well, that is all I have to say today. Sorry, no angry flames for my sister right now. My head hurts to much to think about her. It might explode if I set my anger towards her.

Buffy Rules,
kt

Well, it happened again. My parents are mad at me. Because I am mad that my sister isn't being punished severely enough. Why did I tell them??...So that they would do something about it. Are they? No. ...So why did I tell?

My sister is by far one of the phoniest people that I know. She acts all innocent around my parents, and them BAM! when they are gone, she will make fun of them.

You know, I just though of something incredibly hypocritical of her. And also rather ironic. She doesn't think drinking is risky, but yesterday we were out doing yard work, and she saw one of those metal rakes. I had put it down with the tongs sticking up. She carefully flipped it over, like it was going to come up and whack her. Oh, and she won't take anything out of the oven. She'll take the oven mitts, open the oven, and kind of "try" to get it out, eyeing the room for help. "Ah! It's hot. I can't get it!!" When I hear this, I just want to puke. What is wrong with her? Who cannot take out a bloody pan from the oven?

She was outside today for a long time helping my dad with the lawn. How phony! My dad seems to forget anything ever happened, and my mother is not far from that. She was using the computer yesterday, and when I said something, she was like it is for school (on a Friday) and my parents didn't even care. WTF? WHY, tell my WHY did I even tell them? I should have caught her in the act. I really should have. It would have been so much better.

If I ever have a little brat like my sister for a daughter, I will teach her a lesson. Promises will be kept; punishments will be enforced. I will not stand for that.

My mom said that she can't get her license. But my dad is letter her drive the car (with him) to the store. WTF?

I dunno, man. This is messed. And it makes me mad. Really, really, really mad. I hate her guts.

I hate mulch. It's smelly. It's heavy. It's pokey. It's just overall bad.

I had to put 6 yards of mulch around my house today. And weed (<--as the verb. to weed. to pull unwanted plants...you get the point).

I saw the movie Cheaper by the Dozen tonight. It was okay...not that great. I got it because Tom Welling was in it. That was mostly the reason. *G*

Hey! They could have an Angel mini-movie as early as September! We all know how AWESOME that is going to be. Then they'll have one bi-monthly. So, 6 next (tv) year.

I. Have. Only. four-teen. Days. Left. of. high. school. Isn't that awesome? I've got to get my announcements out. I am very excited about next year. I can't wait to go to Nebraska! (Why would anyone not be?)

I keep hearing ringing in my ears--and thinking it is the phone. It could be my stereo. 'Cause it stops when I pause the music.

I set up a 'Wish List' at Amazon.com. Take a look. You know...if you are interested or anything. I don't know why anyone would be...but it is always worth a _look_. yeah.

So, yes. This is my boringly patetic life. Please, don't laugh.

Well, it is Thursday. Time for the Wednesday recap (of the TV programs on last night, of course)



Spoilers (like anyone _didn't_ watch the shows last night....)

Smallville was good. Chloe-centric episode about her getting some truth potion from Luthor corp and kind of going crazy. It was alright. A stand alone. Next week looks much better.
The one thing that I am getting sick of is all this phony angst that they throw into the whole Lana-Clark thing. Now she is going to Paris? No, we all know that something _tragic_ will happen and she will realize that she should stay. I dunno.

Angel. You kow, i have not been to impressed with the last two episodes. Not that they were bad, just average. Spike was funny as usual, but has anyone noticed that DB seems like he is forcing his acting. I have noticed that a lot lately. Honestly, I don't think he is the greatest actor; James Marsters is a much better actor. (I dunno where that came from--don't worry, i am still a MAJOR angel fan) I never liked Connor last season. The whole Cordy thing grossed me out, and I just didn't think he was hot enough to be Angel's son. But his new haircut was better, and his attitude was much better. Especially after he got his memories back. That was cool. The one thing that I didn't get was that Angel and comp. didn't lose W&H after the glowey cube was smashed and people got them memories back. Whatever...i dunno.
Both Angel and Smallville look good next week. I have official deamed myself 'spoil free' for the rest of the season. OH! They could make as many as 6 TV movies in the Buffyverse world next year. HORRAY!!! That would rock.

Spoilers done.


Picture this: You are a 16 year old girl, got drunk and your parents find out. What do you do? Act like nothing happened! That is what my sister did. And you know what, it is working. I've got to hand it to her----She is a *ing genious!!!! She is playing my parents.

Here are some of the techniques (well, the ones that worked...)she used:
1. Act like nothing happened. Go on acting your phony self.
2. When your parents ask you what you drank, tell them ONE Smirnoff. Don't forget to mispronounce it for effect (<--that part is important.)
3. Ask for help in school. Your dad intersted in history? Have him quiz you for a 'test'.
4. Older sister? Get her mad. Have her make fun of you. This redirects parental anger towards her. (What did she do?...make fun of the little alcholic? Wow, that's bad...)
5. Absolutely do not show any form of remorse! You are trying to make them forget that anything happened. Besides, you didn't do ANYTHING wrong! Just what they have been lecturing you not to do your entire life...but who cares? That part is not important.

So, you wonder if she has any reprocussions whats so ever. Well, she is 'grounded' so she can't go out, talk on the phone, computer, and can't get her license (or, how she spells it Lisence) till she is 18. Even so, I think there needs to be more anger show towards her.

Words of advice for siblings in my situation:
1. Catch them in the act--it is never as good as an after thought.

((Side note: I did not tell on her. I am evil, and can be provoked, but my parents asked me. I didn't lie. What is wrong with that???))

God, it is hard being the 'good' child.

No fireworks show for Katie. It turned out to be a flickering candle, slowly dripping, dripping, dripping.

It would have been more fun to catch her in the act. A slobbering, puking, 16 year old. How sweet.

For now, I wait.

Futher updates, as always, to come.

KT

FI-ERE-workS
Tonight, at the dinner table, I will be lighting the fuse on the proverbial firecracker...err....fireWORK.

Tonight, I will let the rabbit out of the proverbial hat.

And madness will ensure.

Updates to come.

My First Entry
A few months ago, I lost my password to my blog. Because of public dismay, I created a new one. So here it is. Hope all enjoy.

It is still rawther important that all watch "Angel" for the next 5 weeks (all that is left). If not to save it, then because it is a totally awesome super cool other great adjectives show. Enough said on that.

I just wanted to say that I am so totally 100% in every way possiable excited to be going to the UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA next yet. Go big red!

My sister is a dumb-ass. I have created the perfect college for her. Its called the Dumbie School of Prolonged Learning. It takes 50 years to get a bachelors degree. And it is great because a person has to live at home and travel to school. They take special neon purple buses to class. When the class is over, they either go home and do there homework (locked in their bedroom _closet_ and fed through a feeding tube installed in the wall, of course) or wait for their next class in a bathroom stall. I figure this type of school is the only place where she will be out of trouble.

Its great to be back,
kt
