It's dripping out of my head and onto the floor.

My anger than is. It might be the hair dye.
I overheard my partner's mother talking about me.
It was quite unpleasant.
"That little shit is just avoiding me so he doesn't have to clean my car. I don't want him over here when I'm not. I don't trust him at all, I've heard stories... something something slob little shit something car little shit something lazy little shit"
I always sort of knew she didn't like me, but this makes me quite mad. When my friend Elliott spilled a bit of pizza on her book in her store he offered several times to pay for it, and she said "no, it isn't a big deal". Later, she made him pay for it. When I downed her wine I offered several times to pay for it, and she refused to accept my money. Later, she made me pay for it. I offered to clean her car three of four times. She said no, no. She wasn't mad at me either, just a little "disappointed". Several days later, you guessed it, she tried to make me clean her car. She wants to get as much as she can out of other people. If she sees an opportunity to exploit someone for her personal gain, she takes it. She does this while trying to maintain her "nice little small town artist" image. Honestly, I have met ten year olds that dwarf her in maturity.
At first I assumed she was just having a bad day, but apparently she talks about me and others behind the back on a daily basis. I was going to clean her car, but now? Fuck no. I am not going to try to gain the approval of someone who I dislike so, and I feel her bitchiness is more than enough of a punishment, let alone cleaning her car as well.

On another note, I got a printer cartridge so I can remove the posters in my room and put up some art and steampunk blueprints.

My hair is now black. I needed a change.

I tried not to make this one too long, but probably failed.

I don't know what to do about her. My father hates my partner, my partner's mother hates me, I think we are even.

I'm almost afraid of posting here... But I didn't do anything this time. I'm just looking for advice. Hopefully someone has a magical solution. Hey, it happens.

Pity you can't convey fists banging on a table appropriately into text.

Depend entirely on what 'your partner' is to you. If she's just some girl you're fucking and the strife between the two of you and your parents is overwhelming, break it off. If you love her and want to keep things going, do what you can to smooth things over with your parents and support each other however you can.

I know the feeling though. My in-laws and I get along great now, but they very much disliked me when hubby and I were dating.

I tried really hard actually. It was tempting to slam my head against the keyboard and hit post.

Vermont. Can I come live with you?
Imagine the industrial revolution happened one hundred years earlier. Airborne, The league of extraordinary gentlemen, and several others, pull from this. Instead of the workings of machines being covered in plastic, they are exposed. Gears, brass, copper, goggles, Victorian style, and leather are often prominent in steampunk art and style.
Search google for steampunk, as well as ebay and deviantart, for some examples.

Seig, thanks. Even if her mother was hunting me with a tomahawk I would not give in, she is worth it.
off topic: what is your avatar exactly? *sideways look*

Man, Vermont is awesome. They like gay people there and have good drugs. And syrup.

The whitest state too. I don't like that bit. The few black people there are don't give anyone the right impression, so racism is... eh. I admit that black people make me nervous unless I know them, and I feel terrible about it, but I have only met one black person that speaks coherent English and wears his pants acceptably. Drugs, sure, pot is about as easy to obtain as water. I know a guy who would give me mushrooms if I wanted them. I'm a fifteen year old antisocial who doesn't exactly ask people for drugs so I guess that's not terrible. Maples syrup 30$ a gallon. Everyone is old and there are no big cities. It's not a terrible place to live. Where are you?

Oh, and they don't like gay people as much as you would think, we just had a good governor once who did all that cool shit. The few people out of the closet in my school are in quite a bad place.

I bought a mattress there once. I still have no idea why.

I think you should stay true to your obligations. But remember not to make any offers in the future. If that's her ammunition, then don't give it to her.

tristiano, it's when they start whispering around the house and stop when you enter the room, and are overtly cheerful to you but give you covert sidelong glances when they think you aren't looking, and when you walk in to see them watching The Stepford Wives a couple times in a week, that you need to start worrying.

Easily accessibly pot and mushrooms are pretty much all you need drug wise. Speed is fun, but it doesn't make for a very good society.
I live in Georgia. We're about 50/50 black/white here (or so it seems), so black people are just like everyone else to me. Dark skin really doesn't even register in my mind when meeting someone. They're culturally different, but I grew up around that culture, so it's not really anything strange or weird, it's just a little different.

Vermont and Maine are the only two yankee states I've ever visited besides DC and Maryland. Both were pretty kickass. I like laid back places, and that's kind of the impression I got from Vermont. We spent a Christmas there at a ski resort called Smuggler's Cove or Notch or something. It was okay. I've never really seen any significant amount of snow, so I was pumped, but it ended up being the warmest Christmas they'd had in years, and there was no snow. Huge disappointment. They had to use the snow machines just so we could ski a little. Although I actually snow boarded.

I go to smuggler's notch several times a year to ski. I think I remember that winter. No snow till Christmas. Not much then. I was in fourth grade I believe. Small world. By that I mean, fucking huge world, but small amount of places people actually go. I wonder, what is the climate like? I've never been south of Boston, it's pathetic. I've been to Ireland, France, Germany, England, but nowhere south of fucking Boston.

It's humid and like a hundred degrees. It gets cold in the winter, but rarely snows, and when it does, it's like an inch that is gone in a day.
