Down The Rabbit Hole

“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” “She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it)”

Aaarrrgh, this is my angry face

Do you ever do shit, and then, when reading about, or in retrospect you just get pissed off at yourself and ask “why the hell do I put myself through that.”

Okay, my buddy Jon has been under house arrest for little over a month now… he will continue to be for about a 10 months more. Well here in the lovely state of Missouri, you have to pay 8 dollars a day to stay under house arrest (you are basically paying for your punishment). He couldn’t pay the fee at the end of this month so being the wonderful Alice I am I paid for it.

And all morning all the little shit did was bitch, moan, whine, and complain about me, the car, I didn’t have enough gas, I couldn’t drive fast enough, I didn’t drive “right” enough, why was he dealing with me this morning, why didn’t I take him to an interview---(ummm, I had to go to work), why the hell did I have such a smart mouth today (hmmm… cause after pissing me off the entire drive to the courthouse listening to you bitch I decided just to tell you to shut the fuck up). ETC ETC ETC. And never ONCE did he thank me for getting his ass out of jam, cause if he didn’t pay, he would have had his ass thrown in jail for the remainder of the duration.

Oh, and did I fail to mention that the prick is my boyfriend of the last 5 years.

Post-Scriptum this was very theraputic, I might not have to go home and wring his neck.

Is his house arrest like Martha Stewart's? Like he gets to work and go to work functions and has to be home at certain times but can ask out of it and like Jay leno said, did he leave the big house to go to the bigger house?

"Lifestyles of the rich and the famous, always complaining, always complaining..."

BTW, I liked the fear quote.

You got it, sexy anklet and all, nothing like a naked man with a 2 inch wide band with a 3"x3" electronic monitor on it that makes me wonder if he crossed the wrong threshold he would get an electric shock... which is just putting bad ideas of revenge in my head.

Believe me, he can ask all he wants, but he can't go anywhere except to a job, when the fucker actually get's one, otherwise he is stuck at home.

I was thinking that if he needed your help this month he'll need it again next month so that gives you pleanty of opportunity to come up with a delicdiously devilish way of telling him no!

Give me some advice Rat.

 
At 10:47 AM, Blogger Jodi said...

Yeah, that's me too. I do things for the people I care about and then regret it when they act as if it's my job to cater to them.

Next time, make him beg for it. It's nice to watch 'em squirm every now and then.

Tell him to go kick rocks so that you can feel fantastic again.
I got your back!

Not me, Alice. I learned many many years ago not to offer any advice in this area. I always offer to help, but not to advise. The few times I did, the person asking would agree & then there is some sort of reconciliation.

Then, the resentment of knowing that the person told me so much settles in and I end up out. I don't know if that makes sense or not. Anyway, good luck. If it's been 5 years I am sure this isn't the first go round you've had.

You already know what to do, but just haven't.

oh dear alice, just kick his behind like you and no one else can, this time, a little harder so he learns, lol.

But anyway, I agree with Rat, we are here to help, advice you had plenty, and I am always here to help, but your own decisions are up to you.

luvs ya!

fantasticalice: Up until now, you seemed like an intelligent woman. If you don't dump this dude, you will never respect yourself and no one else will respect you either.

 
At 12:53 AM, Blogger Rat In A Cage said...

I'll respect you no matter what since you're my #1 fan!

To quote Jodi, "Yeah, that's me too. I do things for the people I care about and then regret it when they act as if it's my job to cater to them."

She took the words right out of my mouth.

I know not paying it next month would be hard. He is after all your boyfriend. But try to be strong and not do it.

I'll kick Jon in the nuts for you, if you want me to. Let me know.

Its such a chick thing to do...trust me, any time I volunteer to get someone out of a jam like that they wind up bitching. Ie, the fiancee calls me from a bar after work on occassion needing a designated driver, which I don't mind doing until he complains about the way I drive the whole way home, whereas I say thank you and keep my mouth shut.

Unless he's bitchy like that all the time, he's probably embarrassed that you are helping him out and he's covering by being an ass. Macho manly crap and all that.

Still, don't pay it. Tell his ass to get a job flipping burgers to make the payment if he doesn't want to go to the big house...no skills or anything required and it would get you both through the next several months. Maybe if he got out of the house to a job he wouldn't be so snarky.

Megan's anger issue is a good one, and definately could be part of it.


Jenn, did you mean kick me? (Running to put on tae kwon do sparring protective gear just in case)

i think the little prick needs a lesson in humility and i am quite sure that our alice will provide him with said lesson when he assumes she will pay his bill which i PRAY to god she wont..

 
At 9:43 AM, Blogger FantasticAlice said...

Ha ha ha, his "assumptions" of me paying crap anymore is about to be completely annihalated.

I shall bring everyone up to date with what I will do.

I can however tell you that last night... when I made chinese sweat and sour chicken, and happily ate it in front oh him... he got none and had to fend for himself... and he also received NO nookie last night, and BELIEVE me, that made him know I was pissed OFF!

I am the type that can sit there and stew on my revenge options for years, and when it finally comes together, it is a beautiful site.

Revenge is like a chess game, you have to weigh every option before making your move.

 
At 9:44 AM, Blogger FantasticAlice said...

I am wondering now, if his anger wasn't to just cover up the fact that he had to ask my help.

But, when he acts that way when I help him, I am sure I don't want to see how he answers my question.

 
At 10:30 AM, Blogger SeizeTheNite said...

I gotta agree with your first comments...wring his neck for shits and grins...
And next time make him ride the bus!

 
At 12:04 PM, Blogger Rat In A Cage said...

You also consider the "sure I'll pay honey" & then just don't so he is totally taken off guard when they snatch him up but I don't know if you'd be putting yourself in any danger.

A dish best served cold.

 
At 8:10 PM, Blogger daisyduke said...

just move the hell out, and then you can say alice doesn't live here anymore...which also translates to alice doesn't cook your dinner anymore, pay your fucking bailwhatever anymore, suck your dick anymore, kiss your ass anymore...alice has her own great life without you anymore, loser ankle bracelet dude.
wow.
hope you don't hate my guts for that, but i guess i feel quite strongly that you should stand up for you. unless you want to stand by your man, in which case, you'll need to have two arms for clinging available.
whatever choice you make is the right one

 
At 9:12 PM, Blogger Martin said...

You deserve better, Alice. But, don't beat yourself over the head for the things you do that are part of your good nature. We kinda like you like that.

 
At 8:13 AM, Blogger Rat In A Cage said...

Laughing at Daisy's great comment.

If you go with option 1, but out the Twisted Sister "We're not gonna take it!"

If you go with option 2, bust out Tammy Wynette's "Stand by your man"

My revenge plan is going into place, I will keep you updated.
