The Stepsister's Computer



So right now I am sitting in front of my stepsister's laptop (graduation present) in my pink fluffy coffee-cup robe (you know the one) listening to her talk on the phone and really wishing the old clunky desktop would work, or better yet, I had my own laptop.


How did I get in this situation of moderate boredom, you may ask?


Long story. But, seeing as I don't see a character limit on this site....


It all started a little over two years ago, when my mom decided to finally give eHarmony a shot. I know, right? But anyway she met this guy and they started dating. Their first date was lunch at this really country fancy (totally different from city fancy, doncha know) restaurant four days after my birthday. A month later I met the guy.


The patronization started early. Literally, the first thing the guy said to me face-to-face was, "You do know how [pregnancy] happens, right?" We were talking about my dog, in case you were wondering. My mom and I had been trying to breed her about a month previously, and well yeah. I was hoping we were gonna have puppies.


So anyway, things progressed. I met his daughters (same girl who owns computer), they by and large ignored me, I went on a trip to Ukraine (gorgeous by the way), I missed my boyfriend's birthday because Mum wanted to go to the guy's house, he proposed on Christmas, they got married five days before my birthday, and we moved in in August. Just in time for me to start school.


Since then we have gone through several power struggles. I have been trying to be a giver, but that isn't working out so hot. There is a Relient K song, chorus goes, "And I'll give give give until there's nothing else, give my all untill it all runs out" that pretty much describes what I'm trying to be like. Only problem is every time I think I've gotten to the "nothing left, all runs out" point, they ask me to give a little bit (read: completely change my life. AGAIN.) more.
