SIGHTS: More Than Enough: A Novel by John Fulton

Can’t wait for Angel next week! The re-bringing of Angelus. Hmmm....just wondering exactly how they are going to bring him back. Who will be the lucky girl to give him a “happy”? Or will another way be discovered to get rid of that pesky soul? Are they just going to ring Willow up and ask for the spell to return his soul? Questions, questions!

And poor Dawnie isn’t a slayer....I say whoo-hoo! I was so hoping that wouldn’t happen. Okay, I kinda felt bad for her. And Xander, he's just THE MAN! I’m enjoying watching Buffy basically being a watcher. Giles should be happy, she WAS listening to him all those years. And, why isn’t he helping in the training? Hmmmm.

WARNING: I’m just going to bitch about my sister and this house so there is no possibility that I may say anything even remotely interesting, I mean even less of a possibility than usual.

When I first moved in here we had a deal, my sister and I. We would take turns making dinner and doing dishes. This worked for about a week. Then she started to wait two and three days before she would do her dishes and then bitch because she had SO many dishes to do. Me, I would do them after she finished making dinner so I wouldn’t have so many. In other words, she would wait until all the dishes in the house were dirty and then bitched because she had so much to do. It just came to the point where I would do them all the time because I couldn’t make dinner with all the dishes dirty. Then she lost her job and got another one where she worked at night so I ended up making dinner and doing the dishes. No biggie, except she never did them on her days off or even if I went away for a couple of days. I’d always come back to the same dishes in the sink and she would have either eaten out or gone somewhere else to eat. Basically, she hasn’t done dishes for five months. Today she comes in my room while I’m working and asks me if I’m going to do the dishes. I turned around and said, “are you talking to me?” She pointed out that she had made dinner the last two nights and I pointed out that I didn’t know we had gone back to “taking turns.” She just pouted and said that she would go ahead and do them. Like she’s doing me a favor?!?! Pretty much every dish is dirty and I’m sure that’s why it became time do take turns again. Of course, had I known that they’d have been done way before they got out of control. This happened around 3:00 p.m. At 6:00 p.m. I went in to start making dinner and, of course, the dishes aren’t done. There is a sink full of soapy dishes waiting to be rinsed off and a sink full of dirty dishes that are “soaking.” My sister can “soak” dishes for a week before she washes them. Of course when I go in there to start dinner she says, from sitting on her ass in the living room, “I’m going to finish those in a minute.” A “minute” to my sister can be anywhere from an hour to two weeks. She tells her kids “in a minute” all the damn time and two days later they will be asking her the same thing. So, tonight I ended up washing the pots and pans, which I needed clean.

For some reason my sister thinks I don’t catch all this shit, like I didn’t grow up with her. She was the kind of sibling who, whenever any crappy job had to be done, got sick or had to “go to the bathroom” about 4, 094 times. She will be 30, I think, in March and she STILL does this shit.

The reason this is all pissing me off so much is that there are three adults in this house and out of the three, I am the only one who is working. Her kids are constantly screaming outside my door or coming in my room while I’m trying to work. She is always coming in while I’m trying to work to tell me some inane stupid shit. All of these interruptions cost me money and totally interrupt my productivity. I’m having a hard enough time finding motivation without all this shit.

My goddamn ruby slippers are broke and I threw the receipt away.
