Episode 2

How am I expected to run a business under these circumstances? Thanks to the actions of the uber-cow Draska Doslic and her pointless quest for revenge just ‘cause I liberated a few thousand dollars she should never have had in the first place – suddenly I’ve got the whole world (read: Mum and Dad) watching my every move, forcing me to go through the pointless charade of secondary school education.

Things have got so bad I’ve been forced to hire Pascalle to staff the Video Hut. Of course, about the first thing she did was to completely abuse my trust (and her position) to stalk some guy – Hayden something or other. Saw him briefly at some Hoochie Mama thing Mum forced me to work at (for ‘pocket money’ – oh, if she only knew), while Pascalle simpered over him. He’s a bit of a poseur by the look of it – perfect for Pascalle. I wish them every happiness.

Happiness is definitely not something Mum and Dad are big on right now. To say they have ‘issues’ is the understatement of the year. Dad’s not dealing with this whole home detention thing well, while Mum’s all paranoid about what Dad’s up to when she goes off to work – and how he’s going to drag us all back to our wicked, wicked ways. (Again, if she only knew.)

Highlight of the week was Draska’s attempt to fool Van into thinking that she was pregnant – and then to get him to actually get her pregnant. Turned out she was buying pee (the bodily excretion, not the drug) off Super-ho Corrina Balani, who is pregnant yet again, so that she could pass Mum’s pregnancy kit tests. All this over Van? She needs psychological assistance, a.s.a.p. if you ask me.

Grudgingly, I’d have to give Draska full marks for inventiveness but if even Munter can figure out the scam, then it’s time to give up, girl. Step away from the moron.

I have to go to school now. That is just so wrong and not the way the universe should work.

Arrrrrgggggggghhhhhh!
