"After 30 years, she still can't get my name right"

<family rant/swearing ahead>
I'm staring down the barrel of 30 come '05. I've lived with the mother unit for 98% of that time. She's had kids for 32 years now. Yet she still hasn't gotten our names right.
That's just a little indication of the fact that this woman, after nearly three decades, has not figured out what kind of person I am. I know what kind she is. She's a damn creampuff is what she is. Let my sister give her a bad sob story and she's falling for it. Or sure, sometimes she'll say no, but not nearly often enough. Especially considering this is the same sibling who wants to charge 20 for gas, on every single trip, regardless of if it's ten miles or ten blocks.
But I digress. I know this woman fairly well, but it's painfully obvious she doesn't know me. She thinks she does, but if she did, then why in the blue balls would she keep doing shit that annoys the ever loving hell out of me?
First, candy order for yesterday. I got $15 for it. I needed some containers today. At one point while planning this out, since she was going to get the containers, I asked if she put that $15 in the bank. No, comes the answer, so I tell her use that to buy the containers. Then she comes back ten minutes later asking if she can use my Paypal card. Now I only had a hundred there, and because of her getting me these unwanted orders, I had to take 20 out so I wouldn't overdraft on my bank account. And I already resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to use the other 80 for shipping. So why i she asking for the card? What exactly did she do? SHE SPENT MY FREAKIN' 15 SUNDAY NIGHT! She said we had no food then. Well correct me if I'm wrong, but if that's the case, you go to the supermarket, getting something that will tide you over for a couple of days. Oh no, not her. She came back with McDonald's. To make matters worse, there was a gods-be-damned party size lasagne in the fridge waiting to be baked. But when did she admit to spending the money? Today, when I actually needed it, claiming that she was planning to put it back.
So I don't know at this point if I'll have enough to ship now.
And that's not all. Another pet peeve, after already making me want to seriously slap her six ways and back. I consider myself a private person. What's mine is mine, and I'll tell people what I have if I decide to do so. Today I get a package in the mail from Ronda. She accepts it and brings it to me, then sits in my damn room to see what I got because SHE'S FUCKING NOSEY.
heaves No, dammit, I'm not calm. I need out. I need out so bad I'm ready to resort to slicing on myself a few times just to have a reason to go in a nuthouse if it means getting the fuck away from her.
She complains about being tired form running around getting me supplies. Well, I'm not the one who commited to these extra orders just because she couldn't keep her mouth shut and had to brag about what I do. So who's to blame, since I sure as hell wasn't going to do the footwork on it. She's lucky I made the candy at all.
Ronda, I thank you, and I do appreciate it, (the necklace is beautiful). I just wish I could have had a moment to actually enjoy it.
Now I'm pissed and have no method for calming down. 'scuse me whilst I go make some more chocolate penises.

*huggle* You're more than welcome to come live with me. Except we may snark ourselves into comas after a few hours.
Also, there's no way in hell that I'm going to get your package mailed before the holidays. So it'll likely be a Mid-January gift. Which will be better as you can update what you didn't get so I can get you something better than what I had planned because I'm rambling incoherently and really should just shut up.

**hugs!** I truly hope you get un-annoyed soon. May I suggest taking up a hobby? Knife-throwing, perhaps? It worked wonders for my dad. ^_^

Hi ho!
Wasn't sure if I commented in lj that you'd get it, but here you will, yes?
OK, so, no, I don't get beads from firemountain, though the temptation to do so is very strong indeed... One of those things I just never got around to once they got online. Used to get their ginormous catalogs yahrens ago...
I get beads from a local bead shop, a very un-local bead shop in Arcata which is where I went to university and I occasionally get to visit, or from beadbox.com. ^_____^
Dang it, I meant to scan all the necklaces before they went out, but my room's been a radiation disaster area and I had five million boxes everywhere and I got into such a great honking hurry to send everything out... Le sigh.
::hugs you!::
