My mom has decided to say that there will be no computer or TV on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. She's also considering adding Sunday. That limits my access down to four days. If she adds Sunday, that makes it three and means I don't even have a full weekend day to use it too.
For right now, Kila is in charge. I'll be focusing on trying to do posts when I can. Below isn't necessary to read, but details how my punishment came about and some of my frustrations.
The reasoning behind the limitations on my computer access are entirely ridiculous. My dad is disappointed with me deciding not to do track this season. I gave reasonable reasons for not doing it though, without even getting down to the actual reason, which is that I'm a screwed up health case and would like to try to strengthed my ankles before I end up spraining them again. My mom feels that I spend too much time on the computer and feels I should socialize/exercise more. Given that my calling is writing which is what I spend much of my time doing on the computer, I'm physically fit and healthy (for an asthmatic with keratosis, eczema, and severe allergies) and I ride horses regularly and am active in P.E., and I have a very limited interest in socializing with my peers in most cases and my best friend moved hours away last summer, I find her reasoning highly flawed. She cannot fault my schoolwork, which she makes sure to avoid acting as if she does by mentioning that some of very limited social activities includes attending that place, as I am acing all classes, including my advanced math.
From past experience, all of this evidence has led me to believe that her decision to make these limitations is for something that is bothering her that is unrelated to me or she is trying to push me to be like my brother. I believe they could be related, as it could be both an attempt to make me like my brother and caused by him being an idiot. As he has recently crashed one of our cars and is turning into a partying drug addict, I have no interest in being like him and its easy to see why she could be bothered with him. Of course, I'm much more fun to punish, as I am not their favorite. Another possible reasoning is that she is trying to deal with her weight, and it makes her feel good to punish me for her not being able to lose the weight and insinuating that I try to exercise more. Either way, I'm getting fed up with her punishments that I can't avoid because it isn't my fault, so I plan on working on getting out of this. Hope to see you around more soon!

Ah non! Parents are SO touchy about the computer! I'm sure you'll find a way to doge this unjust punishment. I also thuroughly enjoyed your tirade. Don't worry- I'll hold down the fort!

Aww, Bre! D: Why do you have to LEAVE us? Well, at least you still have four days a week: that's better than nothing! (fails at being optimisic)

Maybe suggest going on walks with your mother? The time together could be a bonding time, you'd both be getting exercise. She'd have less to complain about then.
But that's a stupid punishment. Good luck, Bre!!!
