My dad is here "educating" me on some of the same things he's been educating me on for the last 20 years. I don't know what it is about guys of a certain age who love to lecture, but jesus it's tiresome. History lectures all up and down this bitch. If I wanted to know, I'd look it up in a book.

ALSO I TOTALLY DIDN'T TAKE HISTORY CLASSES BECAUSE I DON'T FUCKING CARE. I DON'T CARE I DON'T CARE I DON'T CARE STOP TALKING DAD.

It's a combination of unbelievably boring and shit I already know. Oh god he's going to start talking about war next, I just know it.

Turns out the government took 20% of my pay, despite me not earning enough to get taxed.

I'm mildly annoyed by this.  I'm even more annoyed that, when I relayed this information to my parents, their response was bullshit along the lines of "everyone has to pay taxes".  Yeah, and if I were bitching about that, then your response would actually make sense.  I've never complained about paying taxes, I am annoyed however when I lose 1/5th of my pay for no good reason.

I'm actually more annoyed at being treated like a moron than I am about losing the pay.

It's not taxes, it's an interest-free loan!

True.  Good thing I don't need that money right away, or I'd really be screwed.

So my car died.  There is an oil leak from somewhere above the starter, and stick a fork in it, because that starter is DONE.  I am wondering if I shouldn't sell it, and then use the money to get notebook or something and some internet subsidy whatsit program, and just ride the bus.  I'll get a car when I get enough for a downpayment on one from a job, it might be better.

Can be a PITA to replace though, depending on the car.

We finally found our apartment after 2 months of habitation. I can now eat on my kitchen table, rather than deal with moving sewing shit out of the way first. Exterminator is coming tomorrow to deal with the presents the neighbors left us, and all I can think about is The Naked Lunch.
