Yeah so I said I would update and I didn't. So I'm a goddamned liar. What are you gonna do, sue me? Go for it, I'll be unemployed in 6 days. Good luck with that.
Anyways, so yeah, Detroit. The number 1 most dangerous city in the country as declared by CNN (and Eminen's mom). Not so bad this time around, believe it or not, I can actually tell where the city is attempting to make some improvements. Not many, mind you, and trust me they've got a long way to go, but, yeah. I didn't really get to spend all that much time with my dad, mostly because he's shacking up with his new girlfriend. You see, she told her religeous zelot family (her dads a minister!!) that they were married, so he's kicking it over there pretty much 24-7 keeping up appearances. Don't ask me. I don't know and I have no opinion. But I damn sure wasn't gonna spend all my time over there, so I slept at his apartment all week, which was kind of cool, it was like having my own very cool apartment. Consequently, I am now seriously considering moving out of my mothers house. But we can deal with that later.
About the new girlfriend... OK, I don't dislike her per se, it's just... she came on a little strong. The moment she met me she was all up in my personal space like we're homies. Like we'd been holding hands and braiding hair for eons now. His last GF wasn't in my bubble this tough, and he was with her for 16 years. But, as the week wore on she just got worse and worse, until I wanted to just go off on her and be all "BITCH!!! Quit breathing my air!!!!". I mean, I know she means well, and is just trying to get me to like her, but I am 23 years old and this is the first time in life that I've wanted to scream "you can't replace my mommy!" to someone. So yeah, she kinda irked me, but, generally speaking, I guess she's nice.
And onto other new people. Finally had to come face to face with this whole new sibling thing. Her name is Sheena, btw, though I am still not in the habit of using it myself too often. But anyways. It was a tad surreal. But, she's ok, I guess. She's a smart ass which is cool, and she seemed deathly afraid of me when we first met (which, actually, was a plus for me). She's... I can't come up with a better adjective then "ok". It's still a very detached situation for me. Even though I've met her now, and there's a face with the name and I've had to stop believing that if I wish hard enough she'll just dissapear, it's still just not something I've fully accepted. It's still hard for me. I don't know. I still want her to go away, but then, I don't. I like her, but I still kinda resent the fact that she even exsists. I am an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a vest.
Anyways, time to bounce, cause, quite frankly, I have to pee. Later days!
