Mine didn't do that, but she might as well have. Four cabinets and 
two shelves of food, and she didn't eat any of it. Why was it there? 
Just in case her parents came to visit and they were hungry. She 
lived off macaroni and microwave food. and she didn't use her stove. 
Just microwaved everything O_o I mean, I live off ramen at times but 
damn. I add things and actually cook once in a while. If the 
microwave would have shorted out she would have starved.

MINE DID THAT! and then made me pay the cable bill when I DIDN'T HAVE 
A TV! >=O

Odd...I can live with other people, long as they aren't nuts. But 
squirrels on a purple pogo stick! She may not have realized it, but 
she was subconciously trying to get rid of me.

I still have a second job--part time teaching teachers to work on 
comps and the like. It's not a lot in pay (7 bucks and hour but only 
about 5-10 hours a week) but I wouldn't have had to get a job in the 
first place if a bunch of crap hadn't happened to me. As is, I was 
the only person in the house with a job, and struggling. Out of each 
of my checks I would have to scramble for bills and rent at the start 
of the month and then hope beyond hope i had enough to eat. She was 
also upset, most likely, that I always got myself something, no 
matter how small, out of each check. But it was either that or go 
insane. 

My mom raised me that the quickest way to feel like your job is 
getting you nowhere is to watch all the money fly out of your hands 
with nothing for yourself inside it. My mom's never been one to spend 
the rent money in place of buying us things, but still, a magazine or 
a 5 dollar plushie is something. I had to use one check to buy myself 
sponges and things so that she wouldn't complain I was using hers.

I'm wondering if I shouldn't e-mail her a very long e-mail telling 
her that, in no uncertain terms, that I'm not going to speak to her 
or even associate with her until she feels that i'm not as eevalh or 
lazy as she thinks I am. I mean, even if I don't I still won't talk 
to her till she makes the first move (and probably not for a very 
long time after that). I would just rather she hear straight from the 
wolf's mouth on this one rather than reading my blog and then making 
her own interpretations. 

--Neth, who started to notice that things went downhill after my 
internet access got pulled because my check from the person in 
control of my funds was two days late (but that's a whole nother can 
of flobberworms)
