	     <description><![CDATA[Wow. Didn't realize it had been so long since I've posted here. The drama settled down for a while. Of course, with our track record, no drama means it's building up for another day. I'm sure you're scratching your head by now. Let me explain.

I no longer live at home. This is a curse and a blessing to be honest. Home life was never all that great. However, living out on my own isn't a picnic either. Wondering why I'm not living at home? Here's what happened.

Mom's young stallion is what happened. He found all her banking information and so on. Cleaned her out. That's right. Totally broke. Even stole some of her jewelry, particularly a gold locket I was to get when I graduated from high school. I LOVED that locket. So, you probably have an idea of how pissed I am about that. 

When she discovered what he had done, she came running home with her tail between her legs, begging for my dad to take her back. Funny thing is his new girlfriend was living with us now. He not only picked the new g/f over her but also hand delivered divorce papers to her. Right now, I have no idea where my mom is right now. But that didn't lead to me getting kicked out. Yeah kicked out. 

The bitchy secretary a.k.a. the new lady of the house kicked me out of the house. Said I was taking up too much space and was old enough to be on my own. She &quot;allowed&quot; me to pack one suitcase and hovered over me while I did it. She made damn sure I didn't take anything valuable or something she liked. Which is why I haven't written lately. No computer. Eric's parents let me stay with them a few days. I managed to clean out my bank account before miss THANG found out about it. 

As of now, I'm living in a crappy apartment that I can barely afford. She also took my car. So, I have to walk to work whenever Eric can't drive me. I know my dad and I haven't had a real close relationship over the years but I'm still in shock he let her do that.

	     <description><![CDATA[This is Andrea speaking. You know....the author of this blog. I've made an executive decision. As you can see, I haven't posted anything in a while. Apparently juggling three or rather four blogs has gotten the better of me. So this is what I'm going to do.

This blog is going to be a weekly thing: one post per week. I do the same thing for a group blog so it won't be that hard. This is where I get a bit brutally honest.

There's only two reasons why I'm sticking around for now. One is the community. Y'all have been great. Extremely nice and seem to really respond to the story. Always good. Secondly, and I know this sounds a bit greedy, it's for the money. One of the reason's why I signed up here was to earn a little cash while writing. I know you have to have at least $20 before you can cash out and I'm a little over halfway there. Why bail out now, right? There's no telling when I'll earn the other half, I'm hoping for just a year, but at least a goal has been set. 

Anyways, starting at the beginning of the year, expect a new post every Saturday. I'll try and keep the teen drama a little spicy.  ]]></description>

	     <description><![CDATA[Last time I wrote, Eric's old girlfriend had transferred to our school. I was totally worried they were getting back together and I had a reason to be. Apparently, he broke up with her before moving here and she didn't like that too much. She went total psycho stalker on him. She called, email, text messaged him all the time even after we got together. I always wondered why he turned his cell phone off when we did stuff together. Anyways, when Eric stopped responding to her, she devised this little plan to come here. She ran away to find him. 

Any other time if a guy told me this after introducing me as a &quot;friend&quot; to an old girlfriend, I wouldn't believe it. However, he showed me the emails and text messages. I listened to some of the voicemails she left him. And to put the candle on the cake, she tried to kill me a few of weeks ago. Yeah...you read that right. Tried to kill me. It seems everyone wants me dead. 

Before I knew about all this, we had a bake sale to raise money for senior prom. Eric had set the record straight about our relationship. She didn't too much like that. Somehow she found out I am allergic to cinnamon. I'm not sure if one of my own comrades told her or what. She bought a cookie at the bake sale and &quot;politely&quot; gave it to me, acting like she was trying to make amends for her rudeness. I thought she was being genuine. How wrong was I. If Nurse Richards wasn't in the cafeteria at that moment, I probably would be dead right now. I was only in the hospital for a day or so. She didn't get away with it either. At this very moment, she is in prison for attempted murder and Eric and I are together as we once were. Sweet justice...

Before I forget, a mom update. I found out where my mom really is. She's somewhere in New York with her new boyfriend. That's right. She's been dating a guy who is only a few years older than me for the last six months. He wants to be a model and I'm sure he's using her money to do it. She also expressed she isn't coming back anytime soon. My dad wasn't as upset as I thought he would be about all this. Although, I think he has started his own fling with his secretary. Why is it always the secretary? This one isn't even cute.

	     <title>New Girl Alert (Tuesday, March 4, 2008)</title>
	     <link>http://Southern.nutang.com/comment_77026/</link>
	     <description><![CDATA[You ever meet someone that is like the mirror image of yourself? You know the person who so much like yourself it's scary. I met that girl today...well sort of. The new girl, Kynnedie doesn't look anything like me but totally has my old personality. You remember the one where I sassed everyone, pushed people around and was a full on spoiled princess? That is Kynnedie in a nutshell. I figured with everything that happened with Emily no one would warm up to her, but I was wrong. She fit in just fine with the popular crowd and it was like nothing ever happened. It was really sad. But what's worse is she's Eric's ex-girlfriend! That in itself brought up a lot of questions.

I mean what did he ever see in her? I was like fooling myself most of the day, thinking she was a nice person once upon a time, but no. He claims she is the same person from when he dated her. I just don't get it. He is such a nice guy. How could he be attracted to the spawn of evil? I know I was bad when he first moved here, but I changed. She doesn't look like she's going to be doing that anytime soon. 

I wish I was just being paranoid. I wish I could just be secure with myself and our relationship and not worry about any of this, but I can't. Especially, not when she FORCED him to have lunch with her. I tried to be calm about it. You know....telling myself that it was no big deal. But she kept touching him and not in a friendly way. More like a &quot;picking up where we left off&quot; kind of way. I sat there for most of the period being tortured by this until I couldn't take it anymore. I went up to them in a casual manner to see what was going on. He had the audacity to introduce me as his &quot;friend&quot;. His friend! I couldn't believe it. He didn't even try to apologize for that later. 

I think I've lost him...

	     <description><![CDATA[LostSoul asked a pretty good question. I don't know why my mom took all of her stuff with her. It's quite possible that she lied to me. She never really said where she was. Just that she was getting much needed therapy. For all I know, she could have been having an affair and ran off with him somewhere. I just don't know. Frankly, I don't care anymore. I know she's my mom, but she wasn't a mom even when she was here. The only thing she ever offered me was criticism. I'll believe her little story if she comes home a new person. Until then I just don't care.
