The 12-year war: we just can't get along

I used to do it when I was younger, as well. But then, it was accepted behavior. Now it's just...frustrating.
What I'm talking about it crying. Yeah, I'll admit, I still do it on a regular basis. What's the worst part about it is that there isn't always an easy solution to the tears anymore. Kiss the boo-boo, it's all better. Punish the other person for hitting you, revenge is served. Now it's a whole lot more complicated. Take today for instance.

I was sitting on the couch in the living room talking with my dad. The whole conversation, I knew the couch cushion felt lumpier than usual, which is saying something for my mother's couch. It's a rarely sat on couch, so it shouldn't be lumpy. I reached under the couch cushion, and what do I lay my hand on? Well, it's not nasty if that's what you're wondering. It just so happened to be my teal-green American Eagle Graphic T-Shirt. And I didn't put it there.

Let me tell you something about American Eagle clothes in my house, first off. With a large family, you know that things are sometimes hard to come by (if you're not loaded with cash and/or don't have your own job). So American Eagle clothes (straight from the store, not from Gabes or the Salvation Army) are rare in my house. And when you have something nice that you want to take care of, you tend to not let anyone borrow it, or leave it in a specific place where someone could nab it (especially in a house filled with 5 women who know that American Eagle is a sought after brand). So I'm using that as a disclaimer. Back to the story.

Like I had said, I found my shirt stuffed into a ball in the couch. I love this shirt, I would not degrade it by leaving it lay or shoving it into a couch. And most certainly, I wouldn't let it out of sight from my closet without knowing its exact location. So I was pissed. I knew there could be only one culprit--my Younger sister. (Not my Youngest sister, because she doesn't care about brands or fit into my clothes yet.) I'm trying not to use names, so they'll be known as Younger and Youngest, and of course the other one is Older. Yeah, three sisters. Go figure.

But anyways--I keep getting off subject. My Younger sister is a major thief. She has stolen all of the nice things that I have, and I've always complained to mom and dad. Dad thinks I'm overreacting now, because I started crying. But you have to understand, there comes a point where you're just so mad, that you can't stand it. So, that's when I cry. I don't know what to do anymore! We've tried everything you can POSSIBLY imagine to stop this freakin' Klepto, but she just WON'T. STOP.

Sure, you're probably thinking, "Oh, she's your little sister, let it go and stop being so selfish," or "It's a phase, when you move out you'll be best friends," or maybe even "It's your fault that you leave your clothes lying around." But that's just it. I don't leave my clothes lying around. My room is sealed up tighter than Alcatraz. My Younger sister just will not stop stealing my clothes. It's gotten to the point that my parents cannot think of a punishment that will end it. She's even stolen things from her friends' houses, but the one time she got caught, she got grounded and her brand new cell phone was taken from her for a month.
They've [The 'rents] now turned the blame onto ME! They say I leave my clothes around, door unlocked, et cetera. But I don't! Since it's gotten this far, I am so meticulous with my clothes, I practically have them cataloged by the Dewey Decimal System. I'm even at awe at how this little witch is getting into my room. Honestly. But there's only one window of opportunity when my room is completely unlocked, like a freakin' sitting duck. When I'm sleeping. So she has to sneak in, in the morning when I'm dead to the world. It's the only way. Some of you might say to lock my door when I sleep, but that's not exactly an option. I don't always wake up on time, so my Older sister comes in to wake me up (or turn off my alarm on days we don't have school. I know, she's so nice).

But just to reiterate: Little bitch steals my stuff. I am very angry. I am out of ideas. I am STILL MISSING CLOTHES.

I have one plan, but I never really wanted to refer to it. You know how I mentioned violence last night?

Oh no, not that far.

No, I'm not planning on offing my sister, not in the slightest. But even though my dad suggests that I get proof, it's not enough anymore. Because I don't have any. She's a sneaky little witch, and she's getting away with it. No, my plan is simple, I think've already mentioned it before.

I'm just gonna beat the crap outta her.

There comes a point where you're just so god damn sick and tired of someone's bullshit (repeated abuses and usurpations, anyone?!?!?) that you'll resort to even the lowest form of behavior to get results. Yeah well, I'm freaking pissed, and I want my fucking clothes back.

Kick some serious ass, and don't forget to take names

Holy shiza. I can't believe we did that. I won't keep you in suspense...but today...(Dramatic pause)...I quit fastpitch softball. I'll start at the beginning. Yesterday we had our first official slowpitch game (aka for my father's team). I went, because honestly--how can you not go to your own father's game? Not to mention, the fastpitch game was a make-up that we didn't know about until last week. So we--my older sister Devyn, a friend of mine named Ashley--went to our slowpitch game. After all, my dad needed us and we would've had to forfeit if we didn't have enough girls to play. So we sort of ditched the fastpitch game. But it was NBD, seriously. Ashley NEVER plays in a fastpitch game. She sits the bench EVERY game, yet shows up for every practice, all the time. So naturally she's going to go to the game where she gets a chance to play, and not to mention she's good at it. My sister, on the other hand, is a senior. She's paid her dues. S...

Just another Monday

I took some pictures today, figuring I knew that I wouldn't feel up to posting something gigantic. And I'm not. We had another softball game this afternoon, and even though I played for about...3½ minutes, I'm still wiped from having to spend the entire game on my feet (and add that up to my day and school, and it's cause for exhaustion). My 3½ minutes in the spotlight was when my coach decided that we were losing bad enough (We lost 17-10 or something like that) that it wouldn't do any harm to put the Junior Varsity Princess (aka moi, if you're that thick) into the game. The batter's box, to be precise. I guess I wasn't good enough to defend the field. :( Whatever. So, I must've been a lot more nervous than I thought I was, because everyone kept telling me to relax. I didn't feel nervous, but when I struck out (I went down swingin', ya bastards!) and returned to the dugout, I realized that my hands were shaking. Well, here are the pictures.....

Go on and lose it

"Everybody makes mistakes/Everybody has those days..." -Hannah Montana Yeah Miss Montana? Well, I doubt you've had the day I've had. Enter: Wake up at 6:00 in the morning on a Saturday. Get in the shower, dress, and eat breakfast. Wonder why I'm up so early? I have a Youth and Government shindig. I get ready to go, and then wake my dad up at 7:30 and tell him we should go soon. I have to be there by 9 am, and it's about a half-hour away. That translates to an hour or so with me driving (still on my permit, so Dad has to come) and the fact that we don't exactly know where the Anita Tuvin Schlecter building is. I drove fine on the way there, no one died. =) We get there, and we were kind of lost--but that wasn't that big of deal. We were still early and we found the place all right. I also found my friend from Y&G who had told me what was going on today. We stood outside the ATS building...and it was locked. There wasn't a soul in sight. Me: ...
