Advantages: I now feel a lot better!

Disadvantages: not everyone will read this because it is very long and very cynical lol!

I love reviewing things like this because it means i can vent via a big old rant :D
The things I would put into room 101 are:
1. people who guilt trip you into things- I hate it, my dad and his wife both do it and 9 times out of 10 it works. For instance, my dad has decided that this year for my birthday he is getting absolutely diddly squit because apparently I need to start acting like one of the family. His wife was the one who told me they'd decided this and took it upon herself to reveal this to me in the car on the way home from taking me and my sister horseriding during one of our fortnightly stays, CORNERED! was what I thought at the time. And heres where the guilt tripping comes in 'well your father feels pushed out, you never call him (because I'm on here trying to make money to fun university which btw hes also not helping me with), you never help around the house ( my dad whistles when he wants me to do something like clear the table, I find this so rude! and yes I do help round the house but when his wife is a woman with OCD, there isn't really much to do!) oh and when you do call him its to ask for money ( I've done this what once when I was £50 behind with my scout fees which I pay for by myself, because I had to buy his and my mums presents in the same month from all of my brothers and sisters because they're too young to understand that he'll feel hurt if they don't get him anything and he'd asked for particular things which weren't exactly cheap, I have a paperround btw, it doesn't cover much and is currently only paying out £28 a month £20 of which goes on my bus pass and I've had to quit scouts), we just feel that it would be a waste of money, do you see where I'm coming from?' DO YOU SEE WHERE I'M COMING FROM?! what is that?! seriously?!

2. Friends who back stab- I have several friends who do this and I find it soooo disrespectful and annoying. For instance, I broke up with this guy a while ago and my friend made friends with his current girlfriend via her sister. Me and the ex had a huge argumet and I wanted to vent my anger to my friend only she told him EVERYTHING i was saying down to a T. Not only did I not understand why? but also It wasa bit of a slap in the face to be honest especially after I'd helped her through a bad break up the month before.

3. The banks- Thanks to these idiots we're in a recession or 'credit crunch' if you prefer to hide under the bed sheets. I currently do a paperround because I only became 16 last year, I'd been doing the darn thing for 3 years and can't find a job for love nor money. I used to get payed about £15 a week, since I've become 16 i've had a rise to what should be minimum wage, however the paperround takes me 2 hours to shove the leaflets in 2 hours to deliver, I'm now on £7 a week because noone can afford to advertise. I currently can't afford to feed myself if I go to uni, will end up in mega debt if i go, can't afford to learn to drive, can't afford to get my hair done or buy any new clothes despite having one pair of jeans left that haven't magically created a hole in the crotch. It stressful and I am not usually a stressful person, I am usually the pinical of the glass half full thing, 'don't worry... bout a thing' is my principle.

4. People who lie to get attention- I had a friend who told me in confidence that her boyfriend raped her while they were in his house, now rape is quite a delicate subject so if your easily offended you might want to scroll down. She then went on to tell me that it happened a few times in the past year and she'd told me to gain moral support because she thought she might be pregnant. She wasn't pregnant then. What troubled me at the time was, she was still with this guy, he is the nicest guy i've ever met always respectful to women and didn't seem the type of guy to do what she sed he did, but she was my friend and i had to believe her. so anyway during the holidays she phones me out of the blue and tells me that she had to have an abortion, that she'd told her mum she was raped but not who by. Whats suspicious about this is, I know her mum would have been straight over to me to ask me about it, being her best friend and all, she would have definitely caused a fuss, but again the friend thing. So when we go back to school she says shes going to tell her boyfriend about the baby. I went with her to his house, she told him about the baby and he said' what you going to do about it, its not mine anyway', I was pretty appauled at this tbh. Then its been two years since this and I went back to my high school a couple of months ago and she was pally with him again, I asked her about why she was pally with him and she said 'what rape thing?' as though the last two years had never happened! and her friend who we both know said he'd asked her about it and that she'd said she'd lied about it because she thought she was loosing me! What?!

5. people who, whe the bus is full and your alone on a bench, sit sideways on next to you or sit as far away from you on the bench as possible as though you have the lergy. What is with that?! I am not plague ridden, I have given you enough room!

6. People who don't pronounce their word properly- it makes me cringe when I'm on a bus with a load of 'chavs' and their talking liek they think their 'hard' e.g ' yeh, I were ou wiv is bird las nite an he don even kno init' -I like grammar, I like prounciation, yes I may be a freak but it really gets on my goat when people don't say the full word.

7. people who think burping is funny- its gross, I don't want you to do it in my face then expect me to laugh as though its funny, it stinks and its gross.

8. Teenagers who make it quite obvious their sailing through life- I don't want to know that your dads going to by you a BMW 6 series for your birthday, I'm struggling, your not, get lost if your going to rub it in my face because i'm making a positive effort to get out of my situation which I'm going to learn from, you my dear will have no idea how to dig yourself out of debt when you over spend on Jimmy Choo shoes and daddy gets sick of bailing you out.

9. The male of the species- from dads to boyfriends, brothers to the idiot next door, occasionally a break from the male of the species is nice. If only for a day, just a day of not having to flush and put the toilet seat down after them , a day where I can use every toilet in my house because i'm able to finally clean the boys toilet without it stinking two minutes after i've left, a day of no having to put up with them telling you they like someone else, a day of them not cleaning their car in the middle of winter so that your scared your gooing to crash when you try to exit your close.

10. My current 'old cynic' mood- I am truely not usually like this lol, I am a stressed human being who only feels she gets a weekend twice a month because she has to go to her dads every other weekend, which is work in itself! I am also having to look at Universty's which considering I can't currently afford to go is both pointless and stressful! I would also like to put money in there because it truely is the root of all evil!


Thank you and good night!
