Aye. About the phone thing.
It was inevitable, this situation. Really, it's no one's fault but my own, for not...knowing about Verizon's secret charges? I read the papers that came with it, and apparently, they didnt say as much as the other papers that came in the mail much later to my aunt, as the account is in her name.
My uncle suprised me with how he handled the situation, yesterday. I expected him to yell at me and stuff, but he didnt. I expected him to try to get me to pay for this bill, at least, and he isnt. He is going to use it as his own, for bussiness purposes, to try to absorb the bill into his construction bussiness costs, untill the 2 year contract is over. (Heh, he thinks it's only 1 year, he didnt read the papers like I did...)
It was very nice of him, to do that. *smiles*
But..hmm. He might not have thrown a fit over this, being worn out from Saturday?
Saturday here, to put it short and bluntly, was a very mentally unhealthy place to be. My cousin somehow involved himself with someone who stole the neighbor girl's shoes (remember the day I was knocked in the head by a ball of ice? It goes back to that day u.u ), the girl wouldnt stop ringing the doorbell and leaving a million messages on the machine, everyone diliberately not answering either door or phone, me finally going outside to hear her side of the story (I had already heard my cousin's side, and...he always gets himself involved into fights or neighborhood drama.)
The shoes that were taken have a lot of sentimental value (given to her by her deadbeat psychotic dad, who is lucky to remember he has 10 or so kids he abandoned along with their mom ), and so and so. She was so upset, I was going to comfort her, when my cousine and the NY aunt came outside and made things a lot worse.
I like to study people. Body language, reactions, typical behavior. An observation I have noted is how when in an argument with anyone, you should never yell. When you yell at somone, they get defensive, and things usually only get worse. I've noticed when people get defensive, they arent going to listen to your reason. The way you word your sentences is also something you need to watch; you should never say accusing type things directly. If somone did something that hurt you, you need to put it in a "When you did this, I felt" or "When that happend, I was angry/hurt/ect" type format. I see that usually keeps the discussion/arugment calm. *Has used said tactics with her mom, to test, try, and prove her own observations.* Heh, so these rules are tried and true for me, at least. But then there are people like my uncle, who usually doesnt listen to other people's reasoning, especially if they are a non-Egyptian female. 0.o
Anyways....
The NY aunt obviously knows none of these rules, thus making things worse. I never expected my cousin to know better, because he is a dork. But the NY aunt is a full grown 60 something year old adult.
*sighs and shakes head*
Eh. When my uncle came home, there was a lot of yelling from him, him telling my aunt that she is a terrible mom, and she is raising her kids to be bad people, they arent fit for society, ect. (this isnt the first time he's said that stuff to her), her getting upset, all the adults arguing in general.
Then the mom of the owner of the stolen shoes comes home from work, and over to our house.
More yelling ensued, but I was in the bedroom, and fell asleep near the begining, around 5pm-ish.
Woke up around 9:30 ish; the tension in the air was much worse than in the morning/before my uncle came.
Fell back asleep around 3-ish.
*grins* When I woke up Sunday, the aunt I live with grinned and told me she heard me singing last night/early morning.
Aleia:!
Aunt: *has this look on her face, and is still grinning*
Aleia:....I thought everyone was asleep. u.u;;;
Haha, that was embarrasing. XD
I guess that means I can only sing when everyone is out of the house. =P
Hmm..Sunday.
I mostly stayed in the girl's room, reading bits of books, Bio text book, listening to music. In the middle of the book reading did the NY aunt come inside the room, and shakily demanded the phone.
After reasoning with her, she let me keep the phone for a few minutes, to copy down all the numbers I had stored in there (All song titles I kept in the notepad part, I forgot to write out before I reformated everything =( ), and to just erase any trace of me in general.
It felt funny, when my uncle called me into the room he was in, to show him how to use my the phone. u.u;;
*shakes head and sighs* It isnt the end of the world, but it did help make things a bit easier.
I mean, I wont point this out to my uncle, because I dont feel like putting up with his scoffing, but it did help when Summer's mom wanted me to babysit, and all she had to do was call my cell phone. Now I kinda have to make sure that I am home before 6, in case she needs me to babysit. Yeah, I know I'm not required to be that available, but my wallet/bank account says I do, so untill I get a regular job, that's how it is.
Hmm..
I woke up this morning, and threw on the first respectable shirt I found.
When I got to school, I realized it was valentine's day, and the shirt I put on this morning is pink.
XD
Ah, that's kinda funny....
