very bad luck...

so today sort of sucked. my brother and sister came up to hand off my brother's new electric guitar & mini-amp to him for his birthday...we ate lunch and they hung out for a while. they were supposed to be helping me put together the entertainment unit they got me....but they were being lazy punks about it. so finally around 3 or so, my mom gets us up and into my room. i spent the whole morning moving things away from the wall so we could put it in.

last week my sister said they would come up to help me put it together since it's so huge and heavy...yeah, that didn't really happen. first of all, i measured my wall and found that it had to take up the entire wall space and that still covered my light switch. we figured it was ok though...so my sister goes in to move my now empty file cabinet to find that it has pretty much rusted to the carpet. my room is next to the bathroom...and over the years there's probably been moisture seeping through or a leak in the wall...so naturally it went into the corner of my room where the file cabinet was. it was absolutely digusting...rust all over the carpet and to top it off...mold on the wall. that's just great...mold can really get some people sick...just seeing it was disgusting. and it's in my room...so now my crap is randomly laying about, i can't put anything on the wall since they want to see if it's still leaking...there's no damn way i will put anything in that corner anymore, so now we have to return the unit and get something smaller [they want to get me something smaller...i really only wanted a cd shelf], and now i fear i am inhaling hazardous spores of fungus and mildew. my mother cleaned it up and now it's drying out...but still. i'm quite paranoid about all this stuff....bleh.

i told my sister to not get me an entertainment unit...it was a present from both my mom and sister...but for goodness sake, did she listen to me? now it is a complete mess! my mom felt bad about what happened since she "talked" my sister into getting it...i tried to tell her that it was really my sister's idea and i told her from the beginning not to get me one. did she tell my mom that? nope. my mom only wanted to get me something that would clean up my room and look nice...and now she feels guilty, so now i feel bad my mom feels that way. life sort of sucks now...

next weekend, my sister is bringing a steam vac to clean out the corner...we're going to ikea to exchange my entertainment unit for a smaller one and hopefully i will not be losing my sanity. i have all my files on my bed now...and lots of other random crap. some of it has been displaced to my brother's room. on top of this, i just have 8 million other things to do...including grading and making final exams and reviews. boo.....
