breaking idiot news alert

Annoying cousin - really need to change that to idiot cousin - got kicked out of other cousin's house last night. Stupid, stupid woman.

Update later, for those interested in the trainwreck.

Teh stupidity - it burns!

All she had to do was follow the house rules for one more night [sigh]. But instead she's spending the night out the streets until I take her to get her check tomorrow.

Imagine a smoke-roughened voice, whiny, kind of manic, and Southern :) :

They were killing me. They wouldn't let me smoke. They wouldn't give me my pills. And when I went to ask S. for a pill, she cussed at me and pushed me down. She hit me and they threw me out in the rain and threw my clothes at me. Whinewhinewhine. Not my fault. Everyone persecutes me. Oh, why does everyone hate me and want me to die? They stole some of my pills. S. beat me up. Whinewhinewhine.

Repeat ad nauseum (and nausea is the word!)

So, apparently, she goes to ask S. for another pill - they made her give the pills up, so that she wouldn't be taking them all the time (Xanax, I think. She didn't get the Lortab filled and claims they stole the scrip. S. says she gave it back to her). She's supposed to take one twice a day. Well, she wanted another one (around 2-3 hours after the evening pill). She goes and wakes S. (and her daughters, who have school the next day) and demands another pill. S. says no. Words are exchanged. S. tries to get her to leave the room and AC trips over some shoes. Gets up, grabs S. by the throat and hair (and she has long nasty fingernails). S. gets her hand up between them and pops her one - not gentle, but there's no mark. "You hit me!" Out the door. S's daughters put all of AC's stuff in bags - and, yeah, they do get thrown at her. But she leaves them there.

Goes down to one of the convenience stores - says S. called up there and had them run her off. Goes to a different store. Loiters until she can find some place to call me from.

Oh, yeah - this all happens around 11:15 pm, in a house where most of the family has to get up in the morning for work and school. AC is a night owl, who likes to haunt karaoke bars.

Went through over a carton of cigarettes. Doesn't like to bathe a lot. Drinks soda constantly - one of those big bottles (not the individual sizes) probably lasts her little over a day. Doesn't want to eat. Gets manic, talks constantly (whether anyone's there or not) - and S. said they saw her sitting outside hitting herself in the head with a shoe! (probably nicotine withdrawal) Cusses. Is disrespectful and rude.

Oh, yeah, doesn't everyone want one of those for a houseguest?

So, instead of sucking it up for one more day, having a roof over her head, food if she wants it, etc., she's going to be sleeping in the back yard of a law firm over by a gas station. She has no money, she gets cold easily, has no coat, and it's kind of wet and rainy.

So she'll get her check tomorrow(SSI check, her SS check comes on the 3rd). She'll buy cigarettes and soda and rent a motel room for a couple of nights. There is a possibility she can get into a cheap $100/wk motel sometime this week.

Gah! I feel like I need to do one of those sage burning/cleansing rituals to get her essence off of me and my car [g].

Teh stupidity - it burns. Teh drama - it defies explanation.
