Thanks, it's enough.

What do you do about it? If I don't talk back then they just never stop (I left with a fight and came home to a fight. And I haven't done anything, they just randomly start it up and I don't even know why) and if I talk back then they just take things away from me and continue their stubborn believe that that'll fix things. If I try to stay away from them to avoid it they think I don't care about them anymore and yell at me for that, and if I do spend time with them then I have to be 100% nice or they tell me I'm always angry and then that starts. No matter what choice, they'll always find a way to star. They don't care, I just got away and they already moved on to a different subject when literally three minutes ago I was half crying while I told them that they make me feel like shit. But at least their leaving for two hours now so I get some peace.

The only unconditional advice I can give is to always look forward to the day you will be free, and that every day, you're constantly approaching it. As for your situation, I can relate very well myself (both you and Zepto seem to have quite a bit in common with myself in that regard, which I find amusing given the situation), and it is beyond annoying. While your actions are limited in the sense that they can constantly take things away, see if you can completely ditch their emotional presence and view them as no more correct or valid than a shitty YouTube commentor in your mind. Even if it's difficult to do so while in their physical presence, see if you can think of it as such immediately afterward. This is how I've managed to put up with it. Of course, this won't always work, as they will still sometimes take things away and do more to you than just toss words around, but these things unfortunately are inevitable in such a situation, and unless you have the motivation and will to literally run away, then you can do nothing but put up with it. We're all here, we have your back, and we know you can do it. Just think about how much more intelligent and mature you've grown in just these past two years, and think of what you'll be like in two more years from now!

+ Made good progress on this week's assignment, which means I'm not doing it all at the last minute again

- Is beginning to suffer the results of lack of food supplies, due to not having the time to get to the shops

+ Got my graphics tablet up and running again, and am now set up to begin work on the animatic for my animation.

+/- After having gathered together all the sounds, I've only just noticed that the animation has 73 lines. This is going to take alot of time and effort to animate, but at the same time - it should be a fun learning curve too

- I'm having to work with several placeholder sounds due to lack of communication with some of my voice actors

+ The DS game I purchased the other day has turned out to be really good so far, which is a great relief after how much I payed for it :oops2:

I don't think much of it and usually have little trouble ignoring it when I hear my mother talk in an irritated tone or see her staring at me. I just try to end arguments as quickly as possible because I absolutely can't stand being angry with someone, and I have no trouble quickly focusing on something after they finish. There's just too much lately to not snap. I can't even eat breakfast or brush my teeth without having to hear how these actions are in some way or another terrible things and then they flip a coin to decide whether I get hear a rant about being social or how my life is pointless. There's just an enormous amount coming at me and I'd love to completely cuss them out right now but I know that all that it'll do is worsen things. But I try to hold on to the fact that's it's just a period and eventually they'll leave me be for a while again.

+++ Parents didn't come to me after they returned. I'm glad because I'd have gotten angry and thrown my internet out the door for at least a week or two

- But tomorrow I'm gonna be alone with my mother and that's when she gets most angry, so fuck. I'll just sleep on the hope that she may act like nothing happened again.

- My brother knows more then well that he can abuse the knowledge of me not actually going to sleep at ridiculously early times. Hooray for making the only time of the day that I get some peace from them frustrating and nerve wrecking. Luckily he'll be packing his bags in less then two months now, though despite all the shit he makes me put up with he at least takes some focus away from me. Seriously can still not believe that these people have grown so comfortable with making me feel like shit. I really, fully understand that you may feel that something is wrong as a parent but how much time do they need to figure out that yelling at me and calling me things doesn't inspire me to change? Ah well just gonna stop ranting now before I get worked up again.

It's okay, I've calmed down. I've been trough similar stuff before and I know that-even if I have to force myself-just being nice to them tends to sometimes work. Of course really I'm fucking angry with them but it's better to just to that so they calm down too and with an upcoming celebration in a few days they might relax a little.

+ Having a pretty good evening uwu

-Felt too tired for college today and stayed home. I always put myself down for missing class time, unless I have a better reason, or the classes turned out to be frees anyway.
-One of my favourite animated characters was permanently killed off in last night's episode, and the episode was just so...underwhelming on so many levels, especially considering the title. Felt like there should of been more to it. This is coming from someone who had basically stopped watching the show for a while, partly due to hearing it got stale beyond the box sets I watched.

Family Guy.

I'm being vague in case other people might want to watch it, but still haven't.

Many people started saying theories how he will return at some point. After all, Kenny from South Park Returned later.

In South Park, Kenny dying is a running gag anyway, so him returning is no surprise.

And while they did technically kill Stewie in "Lois kills Stewie", that little thing was so over the top that everyone just sort of knew they weren't really going to kill him off (it turned out that Stewie was really just using a simulator to see what might happen if he did really try to kill Lois). There is hardly even any attempt at a dramatic after math.

Brian's death, however, was completely realistic and down to earth. He gets run over by a car, and dies at the vet - a very common dog death. And they try to make it feel more real by having Stewie destroy the time machine before this happens, and actually giving him a proper funeral and everything. Not to mention the official Family Guy Facebook page posting "R.I.P Brian" all over the place.

I'm not saying that it's impossible for him to return, and we know he will appear in a non-canon episode (though he is not technically cast as himself). It's just that they really seem to be trying to say that "yeah, he's dead". I mean, Seth MacFarlane has stated he's pretty much tired of making Family Guy. Killing off the character he is most like, and who most closely resembles his normal speaking voice, is the perfect way to express this.
