Outdated Epiphany
this will be my journal. for whenever i update it. which will be when i feel like writing in it. and this description of my journal will stay like this until i think up something clever... like maybe a nursery rhyme...
!@R#&^@*...
I'm so angry right now. In a silent rage. Which is almost more dangerous than the loud and noisy rage.
A while ago, about 4 months, I got DDR for playstation2. My 4 sisters became immediatly obsessed and wanted to play it all the time. Of course, I said NO WAY. You might think that's mean, but here's what they've done to me in the last year...
1. They completely erased the C drive on my HP.
2. All of my other PS2 games are scratched so bad they are unrecognizeable to the PS2.
3. My comic books are stolen from my room and then turn up in random places all torn up.
and of course, countless other random things that they do just to annoy me.
So, they were all upset, and my mom (their personal savior) came down and told me to let them play. Having no choice, I set up some ground rules. 1) they could only play when I was down there. 2) they were not to touch the equipment : mats, game CD, TV, PS2, and memory card.
Simple, right? Everything went okay for a while, about 2 months. I played with them, I always put the mats away properly, and the game worked fine. Lately, in the last 2 months, I haven't been playing so much, only about once every two weeks or so. But when I do play, I noticed that sometimes the game won't save properly (I'll get a C but it will keep the grade as an E) and the mats aren't functioning as well as they did when I first got them. Over time, it got worse. I began to worry that there was something wrong with the PS2 because I knew it couldn't be the CD (I had never even taken it out) and I knew it couldn't be the mats (I always put them away properly) and I knew it couldnt be the memory card (I never take it out of the PS2).

I was wrong.

The rules I set up were apparently to hard for my 4 sisters and even my mom to comprehend. She had been letting them play unsupervised when I was at school, and recently when I was away for the weekend. I found this out early this afternoon. I had tried to play my game, but...
1. The mats were frayed and the wires were coming out.
2. The memory card was wiped clean
3. I took out my game and found it so scratched it's amazing the PS2 even recognized it.
Naturally, I was upset. I ran upstairs to ask what had happened and mom admitted to letting my sisters play. Not only while I was gone on that weekend trip, but she said she had been letting them play by themselves for a while. I don't know how she can be so oblivious. I have complained to her countless times about how my sisters steal and break my computer stuff. She blows me off, and always sticks up for them. Probably because she has ZERO respect for technology. She can't even turn the computer on. She got sick of my sisters bugging her and let them play. So they would play DDR, break the mats, and then they'd take out the CD and put in another (that wouldn't work because they had scratched it up previously) so they'd get angry and try to "fix" it, meanwhile scratching up the DDR cd. And then they'd try to patch things up so I wouldn't notice. Put the DDR cd back in, and the memory card back in. Unfortunatly, THEY ARE STUPID. They put the card in upside down. And when it wouldn't fit, the idiots shoved harder. So now, that $30 card is nullified.
This is the straw that breaks the back. I'm sick of them. I'm sick of their bratty attitute that somehow they are above the rules I make and that they think they are smart enough to use the PS2. They are two sets of twins, two of them are 5 years old and two of them are 7. THEY ARE IDIOTS with NO RESPECT FOR WHAT I SAY. My parents can't understand why I dispise them so much, and I can't understand why they can't understand what's so obvious!

I just disconnected the whole PS2 deal and took it too my room. No longer is the PS2 a public thing. It is all mine. They are no longer allowed to play. My parents don't know about this yet, but I don't care. This move is un-negotiable! It's staying up there. And not only that, but I am expecting a new memory card and a new DDR game out of their allowence.

Good for you. It's sad that your parents weren't strict enough when dealing with them though. Funny how you can't go online for more then an hour yet your sisters can run roughshed over your stuff with no consequences.

When I was younger I had time limits on the PS2 as well (now I don't because I don't play it that often). The older set of twins are 7, and they don't have any time limits. They played spyro for 6 hours straight once. I believe my time limit was half an hour to an hour...

I can't even play video game on school days, which used to be a big deal intill I got my own computer. I didn't really mind much before and care even less now.
