my brother has this new girlfriend, right? and since he got this new girlfriend, he's had almost nothing but a bad/defensive attitude toward everything. they've been together... 4 months now. the other day, mom and i went to the apartment in Valley to see if they (bro and his gf) had gathered and cleaned everything that was necessary for us to be moved out. well the place was filthy. so we're getting ready to leave, i check my phone and see that i had a missed call from the house. i call back, my brother answers, and i ask (after a bit more conersation) "are you guys going to come back here to clean tonight? cause it needs vacuumed and stuff," very calmly. he hangs up on me. well i guess he went and told his girlfriend that i was saying the place was a pig sty, and hadn't been touched, etc... so she says "fuck her, she needs to keep her fuckin mouth shut." and you know, they still haven't figured out that the walls are thin enough to hear every word that's said above a whisper. so naturally, my boyfriend heard her say that and asked her calmly why she was talking about me like that.. then he called me and told me about it and that they were on their way to the apt. (deep breath) so of course i start crying. mom asks what's wrong, i tell her... and they show up. i stayed in the car cause i really didnt feel like fighting. but then brother starts saying it's MY fault that the place isnt clean, and that i had never even asked to help. ... excuse me?!? so of course all my pent up wanting to yell and scream at them blew up. and i feel better now. :D i tell you what though, living with them is going to be the biggest trial of patience i've ever ever ever faced. (ugh)

ok now that that's out of the way.. Halloween night. what a majickal night. :P we all went to deb and jerry's house to help scare the kids as they come up for treats. and that was fun, but after a while something very disturbing to me happened. not anything creepy or like.. ooOOooo spooky type. this kid... about oh, 14, 15 years old came around dressed up like a hunter or something. before he came up toward the porch we hear him say," if anything jumps up at me i'm stabbing it!"  while they were walking away, he said,"did you hear what i said guys?" and one said "yeah.. i'm sure glad you have a knife." (or something along those lines)  at first i was like.. well what a little prick. he ruined all the fun for the kids he was walking around with who were noticably younger than him.  then i got to thinking... wait.. this is WHITEWATER! (for those of you who arent familiar, whitewater is a tiny village with a population of about 500-ish and doesn't even have a gas station) what the hell is happening to this world if a.) a kid doesn't even feel safe to talk around in a small town like that anymore. and b.) that kid was carrying around a REAL knife and could have hurt someone who was just trying to have fun. where are the parents?!? *sigh* people are so stupid.

well i guess that's it for now. later everyone :D
