Eeeeewwww !!!!!!!!!

Saturday, May 6th

We were all gettin' drunk and havin' a good time (actually getting along), until Donna opened her big, disgusting mouth. She was being open and vulgar about her sex life. She claims she has an online master (S&M) who makes her do things like go into a lesbian sex chat room and get everyone off, but that was ok because she's bi. The more she talks, the more uncomfortable I get. I thought I was the only one so open and comfortable w/ sex, like, having mature conversations and such - but I was very uneasy listening to her.

Eew

24 yr olds need to grow up......

So..............

Preston and Ralph are splitting their earnings 50/50, even though Preston does all of the installing (faster and better than Ralph - it was inspected by the boss) and Ralph gets the job ready by cutting the track if it needs it, handing Preston the tools, basically being Preston's helper.

For those of you who don't know... they install hurricane shutters.

Betty is my problem! She spends her check (avg. about $4000/mo) on some bills when she feels like it, but she blows through it on crap, especially on her oldest son, Alan.

She bought him an $800 pure-bread pug, bailed him out of jail numerous times, let's him and his stupid girlfriend live there for free. She bought a $300 canopy (12x12) for her 12x14 back "patio." Ralph's sister, Donna, has been living there for 6 or 7 months, she's not paying for anything, she's not even supporting her own 2 pk/day smoking habit.

Betty just bought Alan a car for $1000, then made Ralph work weekends to make it up. She doesn't talk to him about it before she spends money, she just does what she wants - THEN puts the guilt trip on Ralph to make up the spent money, expecting him to fix her money issues.

The absolute worst thing she did, so far:
Preston lived w/ them years ago, he worked w/ Ralph and everything was going good. Preston had a talk w/ Ralph and Betty and they all decided to have Betty hold his money so it would be easier to save money to move out on his own.

Ralph and Betty ended up moving from their apartment and taking over the payments for a house from a friend of their's. By the time Preston had a little over $2000 saved, he found a place and asked Betty for his money... she just looked at him w/ a blank look and said,
"What are you talking about, what money?"
Like he knew they used it. Preston said,
"Uh... my 2 grand you're holding for me, where is it?"
"Oh, we needed it to move into this house." She said it like it was discussed, like it was no problem, like it was her right to use it.

She has issues w/ her own rights w/ stuff that isn't hers - like Grace... but that's a different story - they had huge blow-outs about Betty trying to take over raising Grace. It's like she thinks, if it's in her house, it's her's to do with what she wants - BITCH!

I have never used this word as describing someone, rather just they way they act... but in this case:

BETTY IS A FUCKING SELFISH, MONEY-GRUBBING, CONRTOLLING

CUNT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How stupid can one person (Tara) be??????

Preston called from work to give me a little trivia:

"What is the scientific name of our planet?"

I didn't know, he said most people don't know. It's Terra Sol III (Terra: earth, Sol: sun, III: 3... you get the idea!)
( proof: http://www.seds.org/nineplanets/nineplanets/earth.html ).

This conversation started when he was at Ralph's picking up something for work. Tara was there and for some reason or another, she and Ralph started talking about states. Ralph asked if she knew how many states there are; she said, "52!"

Hello... why does EVERY girl asked this question says either 48 or 52... I can KIND OF understand 48 because Hawaii and Alaska aren't in the continental United States, but where the fuck do they get 52?

She said Alan told her there were 50 and that he was so wrong. Alan said she got all defensive and said, "I'm not stupid Alan, but I dropped out of school in 10th grade, how am I supposed to know?" (well, good thing they don't start teaching that until 11 grade, or she would've made herself look even dumber!)

Then they got on capitals, Ralph asked Tara, "What's the capital of Ohio?" She said, "Idaho, Idaho's in Ohio... yeah - no, wait, Iowa, it's Iowa! Iowa's in Ohio!"

It's bad enough when they don't know something every born US citizen should know, but when they argue that they're right.... GOD!!!!

She is such a fucking dumbass!!!!!!!!!

Intro into my time in Florida

I was born in Fort Collins, Colorado, but recently moved to Deltona, Florida. I like it, but there are too many bugs and too much humidity. My daughter, husband, and myself moved on christmas - it was bad.

I lost my job and wasn't able to get one in time to pay rent. Fort almost a month we knew we had to flee to Florida to live w/ Gracie's grandparents, it was so hard to keep my mouth shut about it. If I said anything, my family would talk me out of going. I'm very close to everyone and I know they could break me down.

We packed the night before, late, so no one would pop over and see our van full of our stuff. We packed so fast that I left behind so many meaningful things like x-mas presents and memorabilia. Some I didn't realize I left behind until much later.

Everyone was so mad at me, we up and left 6 am x-mas eve and didn't tell anyone. It was the hardest thing I've ever done! I was tired of living under my parent's wing. Not that they were forcing me, but I kept falling and looking to them to pick me up when I really need to do it myself. I'm 22 now, I shouldn't need to depend on my parents help me live, I need to be able to do it on my own. That is one of the many important lessons I've learned from my dad. It tore me up knowing I'd break his heart when I left, I took his first boy and his only granddaughter away from him w/o letting him say goodbye.

"Do what you've always done, get what you've always gotten," the words of my smart-cookie stepmother are so true. When you run from your problems, you're not fixing them, they'll always be there to haunt you. "For every action, there is a positive or negative reaction." The positive was forcing myself to do it myself, the negative was leaving everything and everyone I knew, my life, my world, for "better things" and guess what.....my life has been a living hell living w/ Ralph and Betty.

It's not Ralph, it's Betty!!! But that will be another blog. I write everything in my diary so there will be many blogs to come!

We are just now, 6 months later, moving out into our own apartment! I"m so excited!!! It's not that I don't appreciate what R&B have done for us, Betty just made it really hard!

To be continued...

Gross!

Friday, May 5th

Alan works at Soft Tails, not Cat Tails.

Betty's doing atkins, for about 2 weeks or so. She's really pissed because she's not losing weight, but when she's home, I see her eat nothing but carbs. Donna made a shit-load of potato salad, she ate a cereal bowl-sized portion every day until it was gone.

Donna, Ralph's sister, has been here for a week - she's really weird! She left her husband of 30 yrs because he beat her and came here to hide. She's "in love" w/ two internet guys, one in LA and the other just outside of Denver. The Colorado guy claims he has 3'000 acres near DIA, money, survants, and asked Donna to marry him and untie her tubes - and she wants to. She's over 45 yrs old, overweight, really saggy boobs, never wears underwear or a bra, and she has ratty wavy salt and pepper hair down to her ass.

I guess the guy in LA is in trouble, he had to kill someone or go hide, so she set him up at her friends house in another state. She gave out Betty's phone number and address, I hope she doesn't cause Preston and me any problems! The CO guy called from a weird number: 447-966-589133. 447 isn't an area code or country code, we couldn't find it in the phone book. Then she got on the internet on Betty's cell phone and racked up charges. Betty asked Preston, in front of Donna, how much it was and Donna said, "I don't care how much it is, as long as you let me use it." She's too demanding!

She's so weird

Fun In Florida

Sunday, April 23rd

That night the guys ditched Tara, Preston told me Alan was dancin', lickin', kissin', and rubbin' up on a couple of different girls, he was all over them! Well I guess one of Tara's exes, Derek (who has a girlfriend) was there and saw Alan. Nothing was said until Friday, the girlfriend called Tara and told her everything. She came in the door on Friday, crying. She told me what happened (I just kept my mouth shut), but said she wasn't going to tell me who told her. For once, she didn't blabb all over. (Saturday she told me who) He told her every time he sees Alan there, that he's mackin' on another girl. She asked Preston and Andrew, they said they didn't see anything, that they weren't next to him at the time. Five minutes later Preston confessed to her and begged her not to tell Alan her told her.

When she confronted Alan, he got pissed and very defensive. He tried really hard to convince her nothing happened. He didn't say a word to Preston on Saturday. They were fighting in the shower so loud, Preston and I could hear, "That faggot-ass Preston, I know he told you." Tara said, "You idiot, I told you who told me. It was Derek."

We talked later that morning. She said Betty said he didn't do it to intentionally hurt her, that's just the way he is when he parties and that she should stay w/ him. I told her it's a perfect reason to leave him. I said, "I've always felt; if a guy lays a hand on me or cheats on me - he's gone, period. I don't care why he did it, he has a chance to stop it before it happens. And if he was too fucked up, then he should've been more responsible than that. Either way, he's gone!"

I told her I knew Alan kissed other dirls the night he did it, that Preston told me. She looked at me all hurt and surprized. I told her, "It's a double edged sword; either I be a friend and tell you and risk pissing Alan off and he telling Betty and 'starting shit' and sticking my nose into other people's business, or I don't tell you and risk pissing you off." She just looked at me, then kind of changed the subject by saying, "Well, I'd have nowhere to go. My mom is helping a friend who's husband beat her, so she's staying in my room and there's no place for me to sleep." She's using that as another reason not to leave Alan.

I told Preston, "I just don't understand these people who are so stressed and unhappy in their relationships, but they try so hard to fix the endless problems. I know relationships aren't 100% perfect, but so many people 'believe' they're 'meant to be' and stick w/ it no matter what, but it's just a viscous circle of honesty and dissrespect. Why can't they move on from the relationship and learn from it?!"
