Tantrums, Face-plants, and Vampires OH MY!

It has been way too long since my last post! Oh, I have been dreaming of posting something new for a very long time! I've had ample opportunity, but a few things have been dominating my attentions. Don't worry! I'll share with you what they are! Some are sad, some are hysterical (you will judge me), and some are just exhausting. So! I'll start where anyone should! The beginning!
Anyone who knows me, knows I love my family. I disagree with them at times, but they mean the world to me! I wouldn't ask for a different one. Well, sometimes I would ask for an exchange or refund. But, most of the time I wouldn't! One of the occasions I would have asked for a refund and refused my service ever again was a couple of weeks ago. The walls at my house are very VERY thin. You can whisper something and the person in the room next to you can hear it. Well, my brother had gone to Virginia for 2 months which I couldn't have been happier about. He came home early. That was devastating. He has a temper. He has an ego. So you can see why this is a problem.
One day, he decided to turn his music up very very loudly. It's not a type of music that people want to listen to all the time. Unless you're him of course. I had already been to work that day (it was my 6 a.m. shift so I was home by 11). And I've been sick off and on for the last couple of months. So, when I came home, all I wanted to do was sleep. I was doing absolutely fine with that plan until my sister came down the stairs screaming and yelling, pounding on something! Then she yelled to me,"SIDNEY! DO YOU HEAR THAT?!" I said, "I'm trying to sleeeeeep!" But, when my sister is upset, I have to help. She told me how she had sent a text to my brother asking him to turn down his music. He put the speakers over the air vent (which is right over her room) and turned it up louder. So she went up and told him to turn it off. He wouldn't.
Let me tell you: tired and vengeful are not a good combination. I was shaking when I went upstairs to tell him to turn it down. It's such a simple request! I did NOT understand why he had to be such a jerk about it! He wouldn't listen to me either. So I went to the power box and turned the power to his room off. He got smart and went into my parents room and turned it up again. So I got smart and turned theirs off too. He got pissed this time. He stormed down the stairs. I had myself braced at the bottom arms in front of my chest, ready to block him from coming down anymore. He was having none of that. He shoved me hard against the wall and almost knocked down one of the blessing dresses of mine and my sisters from off the wall. (Not an easy fix).
I stepped in front of him again and he pushed me hard again. So, we all ran to the power box and my sister and I tried to hold it closed while he pushed her and he elbowed me. All the while, we're screaming at him to just keep his music down! That he's not the only person living in this house! How he should be considerate of everyone else living there. Well, after he'd pushed me over and over, he turned and grabbed my arms really hard and started yelling in my face," YOU'RE SO LAZY! GET UP AND DO SOMETHING! GO EXERCISE!" He pushed me again. My sister and I gave up and he turned it back on then went upstairs. We were both fuming! So, we continued our discussion about our brother who was telling us WE were lazy when he himself had no job, and had spent the last 3 days playing Mario on the Wii. He came back downstairs and we said for him to just go upstairs and how we didn't even want to see him. Being the ass that he is, he said," Well you guys should just get out of bed! It's 1 in the afternoon!" I told him, "I already went to work today! I'm tired! I want a nap! I don't want to see you! You pushed me! You're NOT supposed to do that to your sister!!" His reply was this: "That's what you do when someones in your way Sid. You push them. Especially when it's a fat ass like you."
I have NEVER screamed that loud in my life. I punched him in the arm twice and chased him up the stairs, yelling that he's worthless and crap the entire time. Then I started crying. I hate crying. It's noisy and I do not look cute crying!
Anyways, after that I wanted nothing more than to leave.  I was going to be house sitting that weekend so I just needed to leave until then. I looked at hotel rooms and decided I couldn't afford to pay for one, even for a few days. Luckily, the person I was house sitting for read her itinerary wrong and I got to come up a day early!
Those 10 days were the most blissful days. I was by myself. I got to sleep! Nobody was yelling at me or telling me to do something. Of course, the most exciting thing was I got to be away from my brother. With that, we'll go to reason-I-haven't-blogged number 2!
Like I said! I was by myself for 10 days! That wasn't something I minded. But, by the 4th day, I was getting bored of everything I was doing. So! I signed up for one of the most awful sites ever.  Plenty of Fish. It's a dating website if the name isn't clear enough. But! based on my brothers comments and being alone, I figured, eh, stupid guys telling me I'm hot? I could deal with the confidence boost.
Let me tell you. Online dating isn't something that I support. There are too many people who lie, and too many people pretending that they're one thing only to turn out and be other completely different person. Still! Bored! Besides, you can only watch Vampire Diaries so many times before you have to do something else WHILE watching it! I love that show. You all know that. Anyways, so this website has been my entertainment for the last few weeks. You can meet some decent people though it's nothing something to base a relationship off of.  Though, that's how my sister and her fiance met so whatever.
The other reason I haven't blogged is because I'm now doing two jobs again. I honestly don't remember if I mentioned that in my last blog. But! I am! I'm working at Target still, and also at the oh so glamorous Arby's. I must REALLY love wearing red. But! While I was house sitting, I took time off from Arby's because the drive was too far. The sad thing is my paycheck is going to be really REALLY small because I didn't work there again this week. Bad news. Oh well though. I'll make it.
Now, I believe I've told everyone these two stories already, but if I haven't I want to recap! I have a lovely scrape on my foot and a HUGE bruise on my butt from falling! What was the cause of these falls you ask?! Bugs. The one on my foot was caused by a bee! I was running for my life from one and I tripped on a step and fell FLAT on my face! The one on my butt is from falling in the shower because a SPIDER was right next to me! I totally slipped and hit my butt on the knob that turns the water on. Man that one hurt. I thought I was going to throw up! Funny though!
Well! That is all for tonight! But! Don't worry! I'll post sooner this time! I won't wait more than a month for the next one! I'll have to tell you all about the wedding plans for my sister! (Her fiance is joining the Navy so they moved their wedding up to September of this year. BTW SHE WENT DRESS SHOPPING WITHOUT ME!! I cried about that too. Who does that?!?! Goes shopping for their wedding dress without their twin sister?!?!) In any case! There will be more to come! I love you all!!
