I Enjoy Being a Girl Vol 2! — Page 107

Oh my gosh, sorry I've been gone for so long! I've been on vacation and getting ready to move into my apartment. I hope all of you ladies are doing well! I miss y'all. =[

Ok, who wants to hear my sob story? On Wednesday July 29th one of my best friends Erik and I left at about 1 in the morning to head to the airport for our connecting flight from Dallas to Houston, then Houston to NYC. We bought front row tickets to Hair at $122 each and we were SO EXCITED! It was our whole reason to even go to NYC. The flight to NYC left at about 11:30 AM and we were supposed to get there at about 3:30 PM, so we'd have plenty of time before the show, right? Wrong.

The connecting flight went off without a hitch, but then the flight to NYC was delayed to leave by about 45 mins. Ok, not a problem. Well once we were on the plane we all realized it was storming in NYC and flights weren't allowed to leave or come in to LaGuardia. Crap. So they relocated us to DC at about 4:45 PM. Erik and I were hoping for the best and that maybe we'd get in NYC at 6 or 7 and we'd still make it to the show.

We didn't leave DC until 9:45 PM and got in NYC at 10:30 PM. =[[[[ Once we realized we lost our front row tickets we were so so so so upset. I cried like 5 different times on the plane. We were just sitting there not able to do anything. Then they didn't even feed us until like 9 and wouldn't let us get off in DC or anything. It sucks because we could have taken the train from DC to NYC and we would have made the show.

FINALLY got there and had problems checking into the hotel (OF COURSE), but that's another story. But we decided to try lotto Thursday and naturally we lost. So then we shelled out ANOTHER $122 each for tickets..we were not leaving without seeing Hair..I had like 5 bucks left after that.

But it was worth all of the trouble because the show was fantastic. I laughed and cried and was just in awe. We met most of the tribe after the show (so so so sweet) and Gavin Creel kissed me on the cheek. =D

The show doesn't offer refunds, but in December they're starting a thing where you can exchange tickets if you missed a performance and see it that way. So now hopefully we're going again in a few months to see it so we won't waste our money, plus I would love to see the show again. But we'll leave like 3 days in advance lol.

Since then I've been in California visiting my sister with my family..a much smoother trip lol.

WOW that was long..sorry!

My God. If I wasn't classically trained soprano, I'd scream 'til my voice gave out.
It's like being stuck in a room and I can't get out. Except I'm stuck in a house and I can't get out. It's everything. It's them. It's him. We don't talk anymore. He doesn't need me. He doesn't respond or carry on the conversation. My mother is always hollering my name and I feel an anxiety attack coming on every time she talks to me. And my father who never fails to let me know that I need to put mpre into school or else I will fail at life. And my sister who cant even think for herself and is always bitter and cynical because she let others make her choices for her, and I refuse to let her or anyone else control mine. And my assh*le of a brother who thinks he can step all over me because he's "smart, mature, successful, and witty". And it's her who is never even here anymore. I hate living in this household. I don't know if I can keep this up any longer. This is only going to get worse. I want to run, but I can't.
I long for the day I pack up and leave this vile little town for good. Then I can have my sweet revenge. I will be perfectly happy without them and on the other side of the country while they sit and rot here without having my to torture for fun. One day.

Select a Member Name, sounds like the time to leave is now. Those people are sapping away your energy. Is there a relative you can live with?

I basically endured my family's crap until I was 18, then moved 2000 miles away to go to college and have barely looked back. I probably should have left earlier, but I had no money. I just kept to myself and worked on my studies so I could get into a decent school.

I have two years left of this. They won't let me go anywhere else. And I promised myself I'd stick it out. It's exhausting.

---

I don't think there really is a solution. I was just so angry and it had to be let out somewhere. I just cannot wait to get out of this house and move far away.

---

Thanks you guys. It's just difficult and I can't wait until school starts so I won't have to spend all my time here. I need to get out of the house.

Yeah, just keep your distance and you'll be fine. You might want to talk to a guidance counselor or therapist just to have some in-person ventilation options. Your family=just people, who aren't going to change. Accept that, then shrug it off. Their ways are not your style, and that's a good thing.

I wish my family was as nice as all of you. Tofu, I'd live with you any day. And you can take the bottom, and by "bottom" I mean the other slightly dirty bottom, and not the bunk bed bottom. Though you can have that too.

---

I want to know when Tofu is moving to Philly!!!!!
