Why?
It'll only get messy again.

Wow. Your dad's pretty serious about that stuff, huh?
beastieangel01
08-31-2006, 10:54 AM
Yeah he is. As much as I "lol," it's actually really, really depressing. Not to get all serious but depressing to the point that it affects my day to day. Especially going from a long-term relationship living with my man, to leaving him because things were not good and right in to this situation instead. Gross.
But that's why I'm working a lot so I can afford to move out by next month.

way ahead of you. Thought of that. Removed with tools. "Not your house, this is my house."

Yeah, that kind of pours salt in the wounds. When Wayne broke up with me, my mom didn't ask me to help around the house for at least two months. Instead she felt really, really awful and took me out driving a lot which was pretty sweet.

mine were pretty understanding for three days. Then it went to hell.
I feel like I'm going insane. So I sputter out random things on a message board. Going insane and dealing with this for another month is better than living on the street when it comes down to it, though. Physically anyway. Emotionally, it's only a hair better than the street.

I know what you mean. Back in high school it was so bad living with my parents I almost moved in with a friend. Just because I'm pretty independent and they tried to control EVERYTHING. I mean, they'd get mad at me and take away my keys (when I was mad was when I wanted to hop in my car and drive away the most). When I bought my own car, they'd remove one of my tires (because I had an extra set of keys hidden). And they were allowed to do that because I used their credit union and their name to get me a good deal on my car insurance - it would have been through the ROOF if I wanted it under my name. So even though I was making payments, they could still hold it over my head. I'm really glad to be out of their control.
However, I miss them a lot. Not so much as authority figures, but in the whole they're my family and I had a lot of fun with them when we were on good terms kinda way.

When my roommate and I moved out at the end of July I didn't move fast enough to get a deposit down on a new place and got stuck back at my parents' for all of August. For those of you familiar with the Political board, my parents are kind of like laid-back versions of racer5.0stang - they believe all the same things, they just aren't nearly as judgmental. This has produced a very stressful month full of "no you can't go out even though you're 23 because it's almost 11 o'clock at night"-type situations. Maddening.
I love my parents and all, but it's like they live in the Dark Ages. I can't wait till my new place is ready tomorrow and I can get the hell out of here.

Clean your room and then take a picture from your doorway. Develope and then blow up the picture to be the size of the doorway. Place said picture on a shade like device with a string and ring. Pull said ring on string over the door way when you leave. Dad comes to check the room, opens door, sees clean room. This works only of course if you have a wacked out house where the door has to be pulled from the outside instead of pushed.
If your door opens into your room, you're screwed. Sorry.

hahaha chewie! man that would rule, but yes it opens inward, and my Dad walks IN my room and looks around as well. Oh well.
Norcen, and especially Schmeltz, yeah. Talk about a headache eh? I have another month before I can leave (financially speaking) so I really would like to jump off a cliff at moments. Instead, I will clean my room and proceed to drink heavily soon after.

Yeah, the one upside is that my parents live right on the Western edge of the city so I sometimes get a rare opportunity to go over to the embankment by the highway - my old smokin' grounds - and get my stone on and watch the Prairie sunset. They've never been able to tell when I'm stoned, so they think I'm a good boy when I show up early in the evening and just want to listen to music and play video games. Snicker.

By the way, I think our dads could be related.
Does yours have a moustache?
beastieangel01
08-31-2006, 01:15 PM
He does indeed.
Parents are crazy like that.
When I was 17 my father was so disgusted by my handwriting that he bought one of those Kindergarten Writing Tablets and tried to force me to practice my writing on that.
My room, they gave up on when I was about 22. After that my Mom said she knew I kept my room messy so she couldn't walk in it to go snooping. That made no sense to me.
Eventually they give up. At least in my experience.

precisely. its the same with showering. why wash, you'll only get dirty again.

I think that people with moustaches are inclined to want to control the people around them. That's why you can't have two different people with moustaches living under the same roof. I hear that's why kll's parents don't get along very well.

BA01's father scared me yet I never met him. He was around but never showed himself. Like a shadow. :(
He's watching you RIGHT NOW. Oh and hey, are you going to eat that Lean Pocket in your freezer? You know the one that's not in a box. I forgot what box it was in but I tend to get hungry when I hide in a closet for 8 hours a day. So it doesn't matter which flavor it is.

my parents only had three rules for me, which i never broke:
Get Into University
Don't get driven home by the cops
Don't get a girl pregnant

I wouldn't be surprised if he went through your computer everytime you were out of the house...perhaps he knows you come here....perhaps he's made up a username and posts on the board....perhaps he's here right now...
beastieangel01
08-31-2006, 04:06 PM
actually (!)
my Mom used to stalk me on this board (both when I lived with her, and when I was out of the house) and even registered a username to respond to a thread I made in which I asked her to please stop.
from a detached perspective, my relationship with my parents is extremely scary yet hilarious.

parents are dumb!
my mom used to say before I left to go out, "no drinking, no drugs, no sex with boys!" and I'd say, "yeah yeah" and she'd say, "I'm serious! and I want you home by 1:30!" and I'd say, "nope!" and she'd say, "grrrr, I worry about you girls staying out too late, no good can come of it." but then I'd just stay out all night. I was a good kid though, and 18 at that point. if we had a disagreement, we'd just wrestle it out in the dining room/sparring area. which normally ended with her squealing and peeing her pants from laughter from me tickling/choking her, and me getting punched in the gut because of it.
what happens if you stand up to them? you get kicked out?
I think that people with moustaches are inclined to want to control the people around them.
hitler had a mustache. stalin had a mustache. but did gandhi have a mustache? no. no he didn't.

my dad had a moustache for a long time and he was very controlling. (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showpost.php?p=1288865&postcount=19088)
he'd say stuff like, "whatcha crying for, you want me to give you something to cry about?!" :(
hitler had a mustache. stalin had a mustache. but did gandhi have a mustache? no. no he didn't.
Yes he did.
no i don't think he did
you're thinking of a different gandhi

Yeah I moved out mainly because of my dad, he has a full beard so thats like twice as evil as a moustache.

08-31-2006, 11:51 PM
when I had a moustache, I was a really laid back guy. I looked alot like Sarky's Dad actaully.
beastieangel01
09-01-2006, 12:50 AM
sarky I would go on and say more but I get the feeling I should not post more about the matter since I do still live here and obviously, they've stalked me on here before. That'd make for good times if I kept up this discussion.
MOUSTACHES!
now here's an interesting thing to think about. jesus had a beard

Why not just pay some rent to your dad? That way you could do what you wanted.
Rancid_Beasties
09-01-2006, 08:52 AM
That doesnt work, because they'll always find something you're not paying for and hold that over you. To the point where you keep paying for stuff and its cheaper/funner/"for the greater good" to move out. Thats what happened to me.
QueenAdrock
09-01-2006, 09:09 AM
^YES! "Bitches lay off, I pay for my college and my car and gas!" "Yeah, well do you pay for food and rent?"
WELL NOW I DO! They came over to my apartment for a little bit a while back, and I was eating cereal on my couch and I spilled some on the floor and you could see their in their eyes and their strained smiles that they were thinking "Come on. Don't say anything. GODDAMMIT DIANA, CLEAN IT UP OR IT'LL STAIN THE CARPET!" And so I smiled and kept eating until 5 minutes later when one of them piped up. Normally I'd clean it up right away but it was so worth seeing their reactions. Yes, this is how I get my entertainment.

that doesn't work either.
I really do regret posting this in a way, because I always get suggestions about this and believe me, at 22 I've tried them all. I appreciate the suggestions but uh, yeah I've done everything already. The only option is to keep working my ass off so I can move out basically. Just sometimes it gets to me since I am still here for now.
ANYWAY!

^ Or you could move to Australia, become an Australian citizen somehow, get a free university loan (interest rate = inflation so in other words 0% interest) that you dont have to pay back until you earn over $35000, $300 a fortnight from the government for being a student, a $30 per month discount off your electricity bills thanks to your concession card, a discount off public transport etc etc etc :)
And yet more and more kids stay at home until they are 30?

Thats awesome :D . Except we did the opposite. Our parents were convinced we'd fail so a month after we moved in we had all the parents over and brothers and sisters and had a BBQ and full hors d'oeuvres and everything. And the fact our place is awesome and we found it without help from them and stuff also helped us rub it in their faces that we werent so hopeless without them afterall.
I agree with moving out. Which you are doing.
I think you should make more posts about your experiences with your Hooter's co-workers. I don't know about you but I've had some weird experiences with Hooter's co-workers. :confused:

09-01-2006, 11:06 AM
oh I quit after the first weekend of working there again, haha.
I was trying to get this hotel child care job (basically, tourists that come in to town, parents want a night off, they call us and we take care of their kids in the hotel room and hang out, bring games, whatever) well over a month ago. It's ran by one lady and word was she was busy so three weeks after calling non-stop I decided that I just need to get any second job and fast. After I did that, worked at Hooters, that following Monday the lady FINALLY called me back. So I quit Hooters and now I take care of screaming children as my second job :D

That's rad crystal I didn't know that. good for you man. did you get to keep the sweet hooters girl outfit?
beastieangel01
09-01-2006, 11:08 AM
yeah actually. I still have the uniforms from DC too. I have a Hooters uniform for every day of the week now :( haha.
I kind of want to offer them for 5 bucks to girls as halloween costumes.
Ooooh, didn't you work at another one though? Because I think I remember you wearing the uniform a while back. Oh no... I think I am suffering from dementia and this is all just wishful thinking. Great, now I just imagined Albert Wesker as U.S. president. I'm losing it!
oh god those uniforms jkhskjsahkdj
beastieangel01
09-01-2006, 11:11 AM
DC downtown, in Chinatown, then here in San Diego downtown. Tis all.
I think the uniforms are ugly. Except the black version. I liked that one. The stockings though, ugh. And the socks! the shoes. Okay everything.
I don't think anyone pays attention to the socks. :cool:
The black ones rock to a certain degree. I think probably only because there were titties in them. Yeah, they're kind of ugly without them. I'd probably rather have kid vomit on me than have to wear those.

You could live with me if you want, I won't charge you any rent. The only stipulation is that you stay out of ~THE ROOM AT THE END OF THE HALL!~~ (menacing music) Also if you could water my plant when I'm outta town that wuold be great.
