#016 - [ Angelica ] [ ila mai ]
TWENTY THREE YEAR OLD RUGRAT
The title is not a metaphor. Nor is it symbolism of any kind.
My sister is a twenty three year old Angelica. Her boyfriend is her 'Cynthia'.
He follows her everywhere, obeys every word and is also going slightly bald.
The reasons i say this is the differences between her, myself and my other elder sister.
She left home to go to uni and has rarely been back since. She supports herself and her two year old son in the middle of London. Not a cheap place to live. My other sister, Angelica i will call her is still at uni, with a good job (ie: not working in a supermarket like most of us students have to). She lives in a three bedroomed house with a relatively wealthy boyfriend who is also a student who also works for a computing company.
Therefore my point being, she gets her loan. She gets her boyfriends loan. She gets her paypacket every month as well as his minimum 400 squids a month.
So, how is that approximately every two months she rings up my dad and asks to 'borrow' a couple of hundred pounds? Everyone knows in my family that borrow means have; And she gets it every time. Just like Angelica gets whatever she wants when she puts on that pathetic girly voice. Let it be said, i am a student that has to pay for everything myself, tuition fees, rent, everyone else share of the phone bill, i have no job because no one is going to employ someone who's been arrested. If i ask for a tenner to go out with (not nearly enough for a decent night) when i'm on holiday, my dad snubs and huffs. This is the only money i have asked for since i started uni. I am only twenty.
My dad just bought a new car. Our old one is mine, until i go back to uni then Angelica gets it. Even though her boyfriend Cynthia has a mondeo already, that is barely two years old. She drives it more than him, because obviously, really it's hers.
My sister seems to spend a horrendous amount of money. Any spare money i have goes on cigs to keep me being polite to people like this.
I am lucky if i get my hair cut once every four months. When i do i either get a friend to do it for free or i go to the cheapest place possible and get it done for eight pounds. Not out of choice, this is all i can afford. Angelica gets hers done at a Toni and Guy every month.
I needed a new pair of trainers. I were them everyday so after a year they get battered. Usually i don't wear socks but i had start because my trainers were in such a state that my feet would bleed when ever i walked any distance. My dad refused to buy me new ones, too expensive. A mere fifty pounds a year is not too horrendous. After two years of this and these trainers i eventually saved enough to buy my own. My sister rang up once needing a new pair too. She rarely wears them. He, like he does with everything, drove sixty miles to her house and bought her some on the spot.
There is more, but i can't be bothered. She bores me because she is so predictable.
You make think i'm jealous.
If you knew me and Angelica then you would know i'm a cinderella.
I buy a pumpkin every halloween and carve it in hope.
