So it would seem that I have not been "kicked out" of my house as I had previously thought, but instead am responsible for my father being gone for 36 hours. I mean, it's one thing if I do it; I have places to go and I'm still a kid, but a parent?

Basically, yesterday my mom wanted to pick a fight over me politely asking if she still wanted to go to the mall that day. She decided to freak out because she had so many things to do and had to drop everything because I wanted to do something last minute, despite her previously offering to take me on that morning a few days prior. This resulted in me not taking her shit, my usual response, and then leaving 4 hours early for work and only coming home for about 20 minutes in the past 36 hours. Lyndsey and her family were kind enough to take me in for the night and I went up to see Alex and Nicole for the day in Maine.

Well, my dad just got home. I'm pretty sure we're still all not talking with eachother, and he's pissed at me for not taking my mom's abuse. I know better and she doesn't, that's pretty much what it always comes down to. I'm just wondering which one will passive aggressively guilt trip me first. Whoever says "Things are much better when you're not here" first, wins!

What it comes down to is this: I am, under no circumstances, allowed to live at home next summer, per order of me. No matter what I say or do, do NOT let me try to live at home next summer. I can't deal with this crap. I did pretty well this summer, but there's not avoiding it. Luckily, I have some ideas:

1. Alex and Nicole were thinking about getting people together to live in a house in Maine next summer. Might end up costing me only $500 a month. Plus it'll be near the coast.

2. Find an apartment with a friend anywhere else. Will travel. Bonus points if it's near a Hannaford.

3. Bag me a rich husband in less than a year.

Sadly, with the exception of option 3, these all require me to have money. The most I can make in a week is $190 and most of that goes to gasoline somehow and I'll need it for school this year anyway. Thus, I need to get a job during school. This failed miserably last year, and I sorta fucked up my one chance of being assured a job in the Valley by not simply dealing with the negligence of CVS.

I don't know... I just have to figure something out.
