Double Standards...

Well, life was going good this week, ive been working alot, habing fun with it, enjoying the hours and the work itself. I worked til about 730 last night, and thought i might have a relaxing day today...i slept til about 10, got out of bed, headed to the loungeroom to read and watch some dvd's. Being a fan of stargate, i have purchased alot of the tv seasons on dvd...i am currently up to the first episode of sg1 season 5, and thought that i might watch a few episodes with my little brother. I kindly asked my sister, brother and dad (the only people home at the time) if they mided, and they said it was fine as they also wanted to watch it. I put in the first disk and headed to the kitchen to make some lunch. I was halfway through making my lunch - 2 small rolls, with semi dried tomato, feta cheese and baby spinach - when the front door opens and toni - my sister - and her boyfriend return home. Now normally im not a fan of toni, and we fight like cat and dog, but this week we have been rather tollerant of one another and have not faught. So when brendan comes in the house, and drops 2 heavy ikea boxes in the middle of the lounge room and says not this shit, i get slightly angry, and dont say a word. I continue making my lunch.

He begins to build the bookcase, being loud and talking to no one in particular. I strain to hear the dvd and then hear him ask samuel to turn the volume down. I contunied to stay quiet, attempting to block out his voice and focus on the dvd. He then starts to make a comentary for the dvd saying stupid things, and generally pissing me off, so i head towards the tv, remove my dvd, and head to my room. I turn and ask them to keep the noise down as i have a headache, shut my door and turn on my laptop to listen to some music.

Less than 5 minutes later, he is using a bloody hammer to build the bookcase, when it is clearly designed to be pushed together not forcefully smashed together...i left the house...

I stay quiet when they watch movies, only asking the name and if i am uninterested i leave the room, i dont force them to watch my movies and dont treat them like crap...so why do they do it to me. There are 2 other rooms in our house where i can watch movies. The first is the rumpus room where brendan sleeps on the weekends and gets pissy whenever we go in there to do stuff because he likes to nap. The third is lisas bedroom - my sister currently living in the uk - however this room was also not an option as toni decided to start dumping her crap in there...and her books are currrently occupying the bed. I hate my family sometimes, and at present continue to silently suffer.

I just wish that others would treat me as i treat them, and stop haveing double standards...
