Mondays are flooping stupid.

I feel like I didn't even have a weekend because my family went out of town Friday night after school. We went to my grandma's house. All day Saturday I watched television and wrote some more on a Digimon fanfiction that I started. (I'm probably going to try and keep this one short...) So, basically, my mind was mush all day Saturday due to watching cartoons and low-budget sci-fi movies. On Sunday, we went to church and then to my cousin's house for a birthday party. My cousin Evan turned a year old. I got a bunch of cute photos with my digital camera of him eating his birthday cake. Dylan, Evan's older brother, told Evan that he's a "messy boy" since Evan had chocolate cake all over his face. It was very cute.

That was basically my weekend. I got an hour on the computer Sunday night, which definitely wasn't enough time. Then again, I did see the message that my friend Michelle sent me on Myspace. Michelle and I have known each other since like 2003. We met on an Animorphs messageboard and immediately clicked. Since then, we've exchanged e-mails and become like sisters. I know that, whenever I have a problem, I can write her an e-mail and get a response in a few days that usually makes me feel much better. I'm very glad that she finally messaged me; we haven't talked since last year. We've both been busy this year with school. She's a freshman in college and I'm a senior in high school, so our worlds are a little hectic as of late.

Today I was planning on spending all night on the computer, but it turns out that plan was lost from the get-go. My parents got the electric bill in the mail today, and they couldn't figure out why it was like ten times the amount it normally is. I guess it turns out that the guys who put up our fence didn't quite fix the electrical line they hit while they were digging the holes for the wooden posts. So, instead of waiting for my mom to finish talking to my grandma, I had to wait til she was finished talking to my grandma, to my aunt, and to an old neighbor who is an electrician who told us what he figured was going on with our electrical lines. I sat by and watched as 10:00 (my bedtime on school nights) drew nearer and nearer. My brother wanted to check his Myspace (he's a Myspaceaholic) so that meant I'd have even LESS time than I would if he'd just left me alone.

So, now it's almost 10:20 and I have dishes that need to be washed. It's past my bedtime and I'm still pretty because I wasn't able to get as much time on the Internet as I would have liked. These are the problems of having dial-up and a younger brother who is a Myspaceaholic: 1) When the 'rents are using the phone, there's no possible way to go on the 'net & 2)My brother is practically always asking me to check his Myspace. He's telling me that he gets to have the Internet all night tomorrow (somewhere between 7:00 to 10:00), even though I only get to have it for...say...40 or so minutes. HOW IS THAT FAIR?!?!?

Erg. Steven told me he gets to go on the Internet whenever he wants to at his house because he doesn't have siblings there who he has to take turns with. It can be nice sometimes to have a sibling, but other times it's better when they don't exist for a few hours so that you can do something you want to do without having to share it with them. I love my little brother, but sometimes it's just so frustrating.

Oh, well. I guess I should get off and go wash dishes...though I REALLY don't want to wash dishes right now. I'm tired and angry and down right frustrated over that stupid electric bill...

Why is it every time I want to do something on the Internet, something or someone stops me from going on, but whenever my brother wants to get on, the only thing hindering him is the 30 minute wait while my mom talks to my grandma?!?!? That seems to happen every time I REALLY want to go on the Internet, especially after a weekend where I didn't get a chance to go on. And I might not even get the chance next weekend because my mom said that my brother could have his friends over, and they hang out in the cat room where the computer is and play loud videogames the whole time they're here! So if they do come over, there goes my time on the Internet! Maybe I should invite one of my friends over this weekend, just so I have something else to do that will distract me from not having the Internet. Then again, I'm having a birthday party sometime soon...

I'm going to go before I start spewing out any more frustrations. I'm sleepy and I want to go to bed.

G'night.
