The height of insanity, how much further can he go?

This should have gone up last night but as luck would have it, by the time I finished writing it, the internet crapped out. The router is downstairs and there was no fucking way I was going down because I think there probably would have been a second confrontation with this asshole. But yeah, last night was shitty:

Right now, I have to write because otherwise, I think I might cry or puke. I'm so upset my stomach is roiling, my whole body is tense and angry tears are making it hard to see.

The whole cat face man situation is getting blown out of proportion and I have nothing to do with it other than being the one who is receiving the abuse. His accusations are baseless and the product of a seriously paranoid mind. I'm honestly starting to think that this guy is beyond cray-cray. Today was the last straw. To be called out of my room and verbally attacked like that is beyond reasonable. I didn't take it lying down and I'm proud to say that I didn't lose it entirely but it was definitely an effort to keep myself in check and take the high road. (which btw, the high road fucking sucks).

However, if cat face man wants a fight, then he'll get a fight. Fuck this shit. He wants passive-aggressive, I'll give him passive-aggressive. If he thinks he can yell at me and get away with it well, think again. Based on tonight, it's apparent that he can dish it out but can't take it. Which is absolutely pathetic. Especially since he's 40-50ish and acts like a petulant 5 year old. When someone half your age is more rational than you are, you're pretty much a loser at that point.

The fact that he tried to pull this shit with the landlord/manager there (who didn't do much) tells me that he's obsessed with whatever imagined slight he's taken personally and that the landlord isn't going to be much help on either side. If that's the case, then I don't think I have anything to lose in defending myself and I really don't have to be nice anymore. I've given him three free passes. That's more than fair. Honestly, I'd be a fucking idiot to give him anymore and if I do, I bloody well deserve it for being so stupid. But that's not gonna happen cos the next time he tries anything, I'm going to give as good as I get, if not better. And if they evict me because of him (low possibility but still a possibility?maybe?), I'll fucking sue their asses.

Frankly, it's on. I'm done playing nice. Cat face man can bring it.

Here I am Hawaii!

Just got to Hawaii today - cutting it close since school starts tomorrow. Not too happy that I'll have to deal with a whole bunch of admin bs on top of having to look for a place to live. What it basically comes down to is that I have a medical clearance hold on my registration that I didn't find out about until 2 days before arriving here. They want a record of my MMR vacination (which would be no problem if I actually had a copy) and a TB skin test. Problem is, the one I took in Berkeley isn't valid anymore and from past experience, this is gonna be a pain in the ass. I had a BCG shot as a child because that's how third world/developing countries roll. The BCG shot means I'll test positive on the Mantoux skin test (since I have the antibodies) and they will need to take an x-ray to show that I'm negative. So, not only is it going to take a while, it's gonna cost me because I don't have insurance yet.

It's a vicious cycle. I don't have the health clearance, I can't register for classes. I don't register for classes, I can't get my financial aid money. I can't get my financial aid, I can't pay for anything school related including health insurance through the school health care plan. Which brings me back to the fact that it's gonna cost me :( Boo. As if Hawaii isn't expensive enough.

On the bright side, just saw an awesome sunset over Waikiki from my hostel.

On the not so bright side, I'm in a hostel. Which means I need to look for housing but may not be able to do so without my financial aid money. Sigh. This really brings back memories of my time in Berkeley.

Will continue with the Cambodian posts soon!

argh!

Why the heck are flights so dang expensive?!?!?!??! Aargh. Cathay Pacific, my usual carrier tells me that a return flight back home is $1,900!!!!! WTF?!? I have never paid that much for a flight in my life. hell, that's what I previously paid for two flights combined! Jeeze. So, I'ma saying a big, hearty screw you Cathay Pacific and your cheap ass ways where you try to charge me $2000 for less space and the new super uncomfortable "shell" seats (really?? can you get any cheaper?!?). Now I have to find a new carrier to rack up some points with. Bleh.

Success, hah! i spoke too soon.

Dangit!

I thought I had it all figured out but... urm... not so much. The whole cut thing is not working and I don't know why. It cuts like two sentences then leaves the rest. I'm not sure why it's being so spazzy but it's driving me nuts!!! Aaaahhh!

When my brother makes me want to kick a puppy or something.

Arrrgh. Okay. my brother is an idiot. How hard can it be to manage basic finances?!?!?! Seriously, he's 26 and isn't responsible enough to keep track of his finances or even keep his priorities straight. I don't understand ppl who think that whenever they have some extra cash, they should blow it on unnecessary and often expensive items. This seriously frustrates and stresses me out when I have to think about it. My sis and I have come to the conclusion that I will never be able to share a place with my brother without her or someone else playing interference since certain aspects of his personality drives me bonkers and will probably lead to fratricide or at least a lot of broken crockery since I will need something to chuck at him. I honestly think I will hit him with a rolled up newspaper (like i've seen people do with bad puppies) if he continues this way.

I really am quite fond of him but high school ended a loooooong time ago and he needs to realize that. He's 26 and should have grown up years ago. I truly hope he does because he can't rely on everyone else forever.
