My, oh my ...

And another year has gone by without me posting in this thing ...

If I didn't do random clear-outs of my bookmarked websites, I definitely wouldn't have signed in and be writing this impromptu entry right now.  I don't even know what to do with it anymore!

Usually I rant and rave about the hell that is my life, however, I can honestly say, I have nothing to rant about.  Amazingly.  Let's see ... school is school, I hate it, but am determined to finish ... else feel the wrath of the fahja, err, father.  My darling siblings are doing fine as well.  See, I think the reason I have nothing to say is because I haven't been pissed off by the ever-kindred-spirit that is my step-brother, Kane.  Although I despise him to the n-th degree, he makes my life interesting.  Excuse me as I go gag for a moment ...

Yes, this Clarissa Ann Mirko will admit [albeit extremely reluctant to do so in fear that the gods may strike me down at any moment for this], Kane makes my life rant-worthy.  Now, I'm not saying I like him, nor am I saying that I appreciate his presence in my life - because I absolutely do NOT - I'm merely stating that without him in my life, I am a pretty boring person.  I'm nothing but the eldest daughter in my biological family, a [slave-driven] caring sister, and student majoring in english literature [and quite possibly romance studies ... no, I do not know what I'm going to do with degrees in those areas haha].  Anyway, I'm realizing that with nothing/no one to piss me off to an extreme degree, I ... am a normal person.  I fit society's norms and expectations ...

Eep!

Conformity = not good.  However, it's the truth and I must learn to accept it.  [dramatic pause]

Not to mention, I really don't know what to do with myself without Nykki around.  Yep, the twin-connection is still there but because we're not living under the same roof anymore thus don't see each other everyday, it's fading.  Sad but true.  No one to argue with, no one to pull pranks with on the other siblings, no one to just stay up with all night and talk to.  It's all a bit depressing really.

To be quite honest, I'd move out myself... [again].  But I'd feel bad for leaving Kita and daddy with Kale, Tyson, and Azalea ... Azalea's getting to be an awful handful.  It's the guilt.  All the others have moved out ... Derek's gone away for grad school, Kane's liviing with his dad [which I'd always hoped would happen anyway], Nykki's off living with friends, Arie is ... somewhere LOL.  I'm pretty sure she's living with friends too.  And who does that leave? Me.  Makes me feel slightly pathetic actually ... I'm almost 21 and still living at home; not that there's anything wrong with it, just the fact that I moved out then I moved back in because I couldn't hold my own against my father's pleading.  [sigh]  Oh well ... I guess I don't mind.

Besides, I bet Kane's gonna move back in with us soon anyway.  He ALWAYS does.  He'll probably get sick of living with his dad just because they're exactly the same - he won't be able to stand it.  Then, maybe my life will be interesting again.  I'll have someone to bother - because the younger brothers are "too cool" for me these days, and Azalea ... like I said, she's in the bratty phase of her childhood.  Or MAYBE, I'll just move out again; hook up with one of my friends or just get a place to myself like last time.  That might be good for me.

Hello!

So ... Other than the fact I've been MIA for the past ... year, I'm alive and well.  haha. 

Before I go on the rant about life, I'd like so say:

With or Without You is officially on a hiatus, I'm at a loss on finishing up Chapter 6, whatever I write, it just doesn't seem rightfully placed.  So, if any of my readers are reading this (even though that fic hasn't been updated for about a year or so ...), I'm deeply sorry.  However, the re-write for Sins of the Father are going smoothly, there's definitely a lot more content, and my writing style, I hope, isn't as immature as it used to be.  Re-reading what had originally been posted makes me gag to be quite honest.

Also, I'm in the process of writing a super-long one shot.  Hopefully the muses will stick until I've finished, it's about half-way done right now and standing at 4000+ words.  (=

Anyway, life ...

Oh life is a fickle one.

I finally decided to get up off my ass and go to college for the time being.  I'm only taking the general studies, but I'm 99% set on getting a major in english/literature.  Let's hope I'll stick to that, no? Considering all my past attempts to be consistent in something ...

Now onto the rant, you don't have to read this part, I just need to write my thoughts down somewhere ...

Kane.  You super bitch.  I can't believe you moved back in! On and off with some other dumb broad and bringing her home at ungodly hours during the night and fucking each other's brains out like rabbits.  It wakes up poor Azalea, not to mention the rest of the household - can't you have some bit of decency and consideration?!  I don't know how Daddy and Kita tolerate it under this roof.  If it weren't for the rest of the siblings, I'd be moving out again.  Ugh.

Hmm ... onto the worthwhile members of my family.

Azalea is the most adorable thing ... I love her to pieces! I wish there were more hours in the day so I could spend more time with her.  She's been walking for about a year now, and a few weeks ago, she was running and totally took out my poor Inuyasha! Nonetheless, it was the most hilarious thing to see - a full grown shiba inu being tackled by an almost-two-year-old girl.  "Inu fall down!" haha.

Kale's doing awesome thus far in high school.  I'm so proud of the little bugger! (As he hits me on the arm for writing this sort of stuff about him.)  He's still in the 'My older sisters are so uncool' stages.  What appreciation I get for driving him to school every morning!  As for Tyson, junior high seems to be agreeing with him so far.  No phone calls from teachers nor visits to the principals - he's finally growing up.

Excuse me as I go pummel Kale for a few minutes ...

Okay ... well, Nykki's ... somewhere.  She moved in with one of her friends this past summer, seems to be going quite well for her.  I'm happy for her, she's finding her official independence.  She'll probably kill me when she reads this.  That's okay.  I'm just glad she took her godawful cat with her.  You have no idea how glad I am that Bast is gone - although I miss the fun of putting him in the snake tank and watching her freak out.  *grins* I also miss pranking Kane with her.  I haven't pulled a good prank in ages; I think it's time to get the old gears running again.  =D

Arie and Derek? Nothing much to say about them.  Arie's struggling through her last year in high school, probably because she's always out (Kita never should have let her get her license) and with Gabriel.  STILL! I know!!!! It's incredible! She's been with the same guy for FOUR FREAKING YEARS!!!! And still says his name in that damn airy tone, it's quite nauseating.  haha.  And Derek's never home either, working hard to finish University.  I don't blame him, if I knew what I wanted to do, I'd go for it and get it over with ASAP too.  Personally though, I find engineering a bore; I've always hated math and physics.  He tried explaining it to me one night and I nearly fell asleep on him ... not to mention he gave me his paper to proof read for grammar and punctuation, I just about died.  

Anyway ...

Not a lot of other drama going on with the Parker-Mirko clan.  Which is good, because last time there was drama, I moved out and didn't talk to my family for a few months.  Stupid Kane.  I hope he rots in hell.  That guy just pisses me off so fricken much.  For goodness sake, he's my age and still relying on mommy for booze money.  I mean, I still live at home too, but at least I have a job for my party-hopping and other outings - not to mention he just wastes the money Kita gives him; alcohol, parties, strippers, porn ... I really wonder why he's not just staying with his dad because the way I see it, they're almost one and the same.  Sleaze bags. 

Makes me sick.

I'm gonna go for a run around the block with Inuyasha ... 

I swear I'll update more often.  haha.  Even if it's pointless, derogatory stuff.  

-Claire.

Because everyone seems to have something Christmas related on their page now ...

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Monday I turned drvnkrazee in for spitting (3 points). Last Friday I ruled Canada as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). In March I ate my brussel sprouts (1 points). Last Sunday I gave amara_anon a kidney (1000 points). In September I signed my organ donor card (28 points). Overall, I've been nice (1732 points). For Christmas I deserve a Nintendo Wii! Sincerely, cursed-maiden
