I feel bad asking for anything for Christmas, because I'm not all that interested or in need of any new functional items. I feel like when we can't afford to see the doctor when we're sick, there should be higher priorities than games.
None of those seasonal job applications got me calls, obviously. I seem to be unemployable. Also I am too stupid to understand what seasonal positions are all about, and didn't say I'd be willing to work overnight(Since I lack my own car or license.)
My mom's only really in the mood to talk about this sort of stuff when my dad is nearby to be made to feel bad about it, while he works his two jobs.(One of which he's pretty dumb for still working, since I'm not sure it's even payed him a dime yet.)
I wonder if he'll kill himself, sometimes. It must suck to be him. But he's kind of a jerk, so I can't afford to make any withdrawals from the sympathy bank on his account.
The thing I was considering asking for for Christmas, but too torn to actually ask for sold out anyway.
It was such a good deal, too... I had worked up the courage to broach the subject of gift budget with my mother, on the assumption that she'd spend the money buying my crap I didn't really want, out of some misguided sense of obligation... but then a few minutes after I got back to my computer it sold out. Sorta a bummer.
I told her over break that I wanted healthcare for Christmas, and I think she took it as an insult. I immediately regretted my clever answer.
