Well, it's taken them this long. But finally, finally, they believe me about the toilet! About bloody time. Really just thought I'd share, because I am just ecstatic that they no longer think I'm delusional or "making it up," because why the hell would I? Now there's actually another problem, though, the same problem we used to have; we flush it, and the noise just...stops. If you want the tank to fill, you actually have to run water at the sink. Seems to, I don't know, reset it or something. I hate living in a house that is almost as old as my grandparents.
But at least now they believe me. Still not about the giant wolf spider, even though they have had to kill them, too. I don't know why they make me out to be such a liar, my own flesh and blood. I also don't know why they can't show me the same courtesy I extend them. Not touching their stuff, not going into their bedrooms without permission. But maybe respecting my space and calling me by my full name is just asking too much.
Probably wondering if I have anger issues. The answer is yes, and the addendum is, gosh, I wonder why. Sure like to go one day without being spoken over. I honestly think if I didn't get pay checks, I'd have been out on my ass a long time ago. I don't even know why; other than playing the occasional game and the noise of my fan, it's like I'm not even here. I'm not happy, no, but it's been almost my whole lifetime since I went to the ocean or had a friend. I've never been on vacation. My family thinks family reunions count, but they don't. They just want it to, so their list of achievements looks longer than it is.
Maybe I'm too miserable to be around. Or maybe nobody likes to hear the truth. Guess I'll never know. I could even ask the worldwide web and not get a straight answer. My brother would. My mother would, my sister would, the homeless guy in the ditch with his hand down his pants would. People treat me differently, they always have. I'm sick of it, but it's just never going to change.
All I can do is wonder what I'll be interrupted or accused of lying about next time. I think I have found a decent place to end it all, though, so silver linings.
