Oy Vey

I'm feeling a bit perturbed today. I was upstairs in my room and I was thinking..."Boy I sure is hungry." So I went downstairs and I saw an iPod lying by the couch. My brother and his partner was downstairs so I decided to interrogate my brother. I asked who bought it, how much did it cost, etc... My brother was evasive but eventually he answered the question. He said that he had bought it and he didn't know how much it had cost because he said that he handed his credit card to the cashier. Well I was little ticked because I had actually got an iPod for free and I was going to give it to him for Xmas. But whatever. So I offer to help him install it and download songs. He declined. Then he said that he was just joking and that his partner had bought it for himself. Well after I let it fester in my warped feminine brain that just really pissed me off. So when my brother's partner went upstairs I tore my brother a new one because he was there when I talked to his partner about how much money he owed me. I was just perplexed as to why my brother didn't say anything or stand up for me. He knew that I had sold a lot of my DVD's to make ends meet and that I was short on cash. He's working a second job to pay for his partner's debt and his partner is using his leftover money to buy a damn mp3 player. He should have opened up an account at the bank like I did and got mine for free but whatever. ALSO he got a notice in the mail from the bank for overdrawing on his account. WTF is he using that money to buy a damn music player?!? After our 'discussion' I just told my brother that I was done and went upstairs to pigsty to stew. Then my brother wanted for me to talk. Well I couldn't because I was so livid. How would you feel if a couple of hundred dollars would help you keep the bill collectors at bay and help you get on your feet so that you don't have to resort to ludicrous schemes to make extra cash. The person who can repay you the money that you lent in their time of need is spending on frivolous shit like a new Mercedes, or an iPod. It's just beyond stupid. To make matters worse my brother told me that his partner only thought that he owed me $900. Well that's not true. I took $600 off my AMEX to help him out and I took $300 from my tax refund before I got a chance to use it. That equals $900 not $300. Besides if you owe people you shouldn't be buying yourself a Christmas present for yourself. That's just stupid. Please let me only talk to and encounter smart people tomorrow. If I get any other examples of glaring idiocy I might lose it. I'm also going to a movie screening with all the roommates in the house. It will take me every inch of my being not to club my brother's partner to death with my cinnamon pretzel.
