Rant-ish

I guess this could be seen as another rant. Whatever. There's actually less cussing involved in this one, probably because I'm tired, and annoyed and on my period. Plus I haven't eaten today, so that just makes me want to pout and sleep. >.<

I was happy. I found a freakin Fender Stratocaster, and I bloody wanted it. I really REALLY wanted it. And it was/is a good price too.

I've wanted a black electric guitar for AGES. Or at least ~6 years. Dad said "Where will you get the money?" I informed him I'd sell my games. Hell, I'd even sell my Nintendo DS I secretly bought last year for christmas. I wanted that guitar.

So, me, being the naive fucking child that I am, I went to GameStop, thinking they were AMAZING and with ~7 games worth $20 bucks new and a DS worth $120 new I'd easily have enough to buy my guitar.

How fucking WRONG I was.

They wanted to give me $21 for all 7 games (~$3 per game, and they aren't even that used. Some were only played once or twice). And then they only wanted to give me $20 for my DS. WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

So of course, I decided not to sell them to GameStop. But then that left me with a problem. How to get my guitar money?

Well, my darling father suggested Ebay. So I made my PayPal account, and my Ebay account and spent the rest of the afternoon listing games to sell.

The shitty part is, I don't know how long the guitar's going to be available. Which means by the time I finally get the money, the guitar will be gone.

>.<

Sometimes I really hate life. I mean, sure, it's just a guitar. But its something I've wanted for a LONG time.

And now its right in front of me, and I can't have it.

How cruel.

P.S. - if anyone is interested, my Ebay account name is blacknightwolfen. Feel free to check it out. I haven't listed the DS yet cause I dont want to sell it unless I have to. Which is most likely going to happen anyway. >.<

Well, so here's the kinda hell I've been put through tonight.

Dad informed me that I have the money in my account to buy the guitar. Then he told me that it was my decision whether or not to use that cash on a guitar now, or my car insurance payment next whenever.

>.<

That doesn't osund like much of a choice to me, yet he claimed it was. I wish he'd just told me no from the start instead of letting me think that I might -actually- get it.

I hate these stupidmind games that people feel like they have to play. Like he knew I wanted it, and he used that to fucking teach me a lesson.

This all happened earlier this evening. He's since informed me that he is willing to buy the guitar now as an xmas present, and of course I'd have to wait till xmas to get it.

I can deal with that. And I wont have to sell all my games either.

So I took everything off ebay (which I spent an entire afternoon setting up) and spent some more valuable time sulking.

What good is a period if you can't get all emotional? Truth be told, this is the worst I've been yet.

At least I still get what I want, with the plus of not having to sell my games.

I just have to wait. And hell, by then maybe I'll have learned something to play on an electric.

At least I still have my accousitc.

Well, I'm off for the night. May or may not copy this to The Steno Notebook only because I'm lazy and its late. I'll probably just make this a comment or something.

Wind to thy wings,

Dude... That's rough. That would piss me the fuck off regardless if I were on my period. Lol I can be a total bitch when I am on my period.. and all of those emotions it brings out! Anywho (heh sorry xD), it's good that you can get it for xmas and you have every right to be pissed off. :]
