In which I am in an annoying situation.

shade184 I'm very pissed off right now.
I put aside about $200 to spend on a Kindle and an Xbox Live subscription this fortnight. Big spending, for me, but I've been budgeting for a while. However, instead, I bought a portal gun from the local gaming shop, because it was the last one there, and it's a limited edition collector's item.
And now Greg's chucking the shits at me.
Apparently buying a "useless toy" instead of "something important" was a dumb move on my part. Nevermind the fact that I spent approximately the same amount of money. No, instead, I shouldn't have spent anything, since what I bought was useless!
Fact: I wanted to buy the Kindle and the sub because they had value to ME. Not because I wanted to impress anyone else. I was going to spend $200 on something I wanted. And I did! But instead, I spent it on a collector's toy instead of something else, because next time I had enough money, the item would have been gone. Not more important, but more urgent. I willingly deprived myself of something I wanted, if favour of something else wanted. Is there a problem with that?
Normally, I would tell Greg to go get fucked. Instead, he's threatening to tell his father (who would apparently be annoyed since I didn't spend it on "something useful"), since he's the one who took me in.
Let me say that again. He just threatened to tell an authority figure what I did, because he thinks I am too immature to understand the gravity of what I just did.
He is a freaking schoolkid.
In Greg's words, "if I'm not mature enough to understand the value of money, then maybe I SHOULD get in trouble for it".
This is exactly why I want to move out of this place, too.

You know, I think I might just go and tell Russell myself. Lead up to it, explain the situation, and then tell him. Then go and rub it in Greg's fucking face.
Or, I might not. We'll see.
Greg said "We'll talk again when you're ready to be a mature adult." HE FUCKING SAID THAT. CAN HE EVEN HEAR HIMSELF TALKING? I HATE RELYING ON OTHER PEOPLE, THEY ALL HAVE THEIR CONDITIONS AND FUCKING REQUIREMENTS. "YOU EXIST TO MAKE ME HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE." No, Greg. I exist to do whatever the fuck I want, and you can suck my dick if you think you have ANY authority over me. DIAF.
This is where Greg would point out that I sound like a rebellious teenager, rebelling for the sake of rebelling. This is where I would point out that I'm sick of having no control over my fucking life.
(Maybe I'd tell him about my plans to find short-term accommodation and move out. Maybe not. He's free to hate me all he wants, the moment I'm done living with him.)
