Dude! We're gettin' a Dell! Kick ass!!
I think the nearly new Dell that JR had that Hunter monopolized for the last part of the trip spoiled him. (He's going to help pay off for the Dell; he has some rare baseball cards that he's going to try to sell on eBay.) And I think Mom is just as pissed as I am that I didn't get that Packard-Bell till now. She's not going to do jack shit with JR's Dell; yeah, she says she'll take the community college classes to learn to use it, but she'll just let it go to waste like she does with EVERYTHING in her house. And it's not like she's going to let us have it. No, not her other grandson who is still in school, or her only granddaughter who is going back to college in the spring to finish up. Okay, get this. She spends $25,000 on one of those specialty vans that can accomodate a wheelchair, but she never uses it. Now she's planning on selling it, since she never uses it. What's she going to do with the money? You know, Dad and Mom were both hinting to her that we haven't been doing financially well this year, and I had to take a semester off from school because we couldn't afford it (because Dad was trying to get her to help out with my college tuition, which is at most at IUN, $2000 for a full-time semester). And do you know what that woman said? "Well, why don't you try applying for a loan?" A loan. Yeah, like she's going to help me out. *laughs her ass off sarcastically* Good try, Dad! You nearly had me going there. What a money-grubbing, hoarding bitch.
Let me pose this question to everyone and anyone who reads this LiveJournal entry. Is it so wrong of me to disown my grandmother, burn my bridges with her so to speak, because she's never really given me the time of day or shown any sort of interest in anything having to do with me? Especially after this little slap in the face?
I never want to go down to Alabama ever again to see her or to stay with her, unless it's a Helms/Page family reunion in which I can see all of my relatives. I don't want anything to do with my grandma ever again. And you know, I know this is dishonoring my father ("Honor thy mother and thy father."), but I can't help it. When someone has turned their nose at you for so long, it's hard to take after a long time.
Part of me can't actually WAIT to get married so I can have a last name change. Oh wait, I can just get it legally changed anyway. Or hell, maybe I'll just start going by my first and middle name.
