Hey guys! What is new? Well alot actually! I am getting married in November of this year on the 10th of the month. I am in college and am very happy about it. I am working at Wal-Mart and it is the best job I have had so far. I am really enjoying my life. But let's get down to business.

My mother got accepted to do a speech competition today. She has been pondering and pondering and pondering about her topic for over 3 months. And as per the usual ammount of "on-top-of-it" attitude that she has, she started writing it this morning and is skipping school to try and finish.

Do you want to know what she finally decided to write about? And when I say this I don't want you to think I am joking because I am not... She is writing about World of Warcraft (or WoW) and how it applies to an application/resume tfor a job. And that it should be highly thought of to play this MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role play game) despite the "steotype" that follows those who play it. I have a few problems with this.

1. My mother chose this to try and vallidate why she is doing/playing WoW instead of getting off her 300 lb butt and getting a job.

2. My family is living off of 1 income (not including the money that I pay her every month that she DOESN'T claim with the state which is illegal) and my father only makes about $500 a month. Along with that we are getting state benefits and student loans and somehow that means she gets to spend a greater part of her time to play games? I don't think so.

3. Does this mean she is going to say on HER resume "for the horde" because that would seem pretty pathetic to me. It is a shame to those people who go OUT to get that experience instead of paying money for a monthly prescription to a ridiculous online game. There is nothing that this game can give you that REAL WORLD experience can't give you 10X more respectably.

My mother and father spend a GREAT amount of time and money on this game of theirs when we are a family on a fixed income. We are constantly living on the edge of nothing and yet they find the time to pick this game over the proper love and attention that they should be PAYING to their children.

I have accepted that I haven't had a mother for a long time. But my little sister who is only now going through puberty without any support from my mother. My sister who is just below me is now completely responsible for making sure that everyone gets fed because I have a job now and can't be home to make food anymore.

These are the things that really piss me off. We haven't had a family dinner since they started playing because they have "raid" during the time we would have eaten together. This is the most disgusting problem in my family.

I want them to stop. They are to old to be acting like this. I get that it is the only thing they do together now but GODDAMN it they need to have face time. Learn to turn off your goddamn computer and talk to you goddamn kids!

I am done.
