Dear Stepmother:

I don't get it, honestly.

So... You can listen to cooking shows, literally, as loud as the television AND the surround-sound will go. And Dad can listen to disco at the same volume. And Snotleigh can listen to his shitty My Chemical Romance at that volume as well.

But I can't listen to the Doors beyond a volume of "Hey, what's that sound? Is there a fly buzzing in my ear?"

Jesus, I don't mind being asked to turn something down, but BE CONSISTENT! If I have to turn "People Are Strange" down, you have to turn down Emeril, Dad has to turn down "Jungle Boogie", and Snotleigh has to turn OFF his music. Either that happens or I can listen to the Doors at whatever fucking volume I want.

Consistency is love.

Okay?

Frustration,

Leiko

P.S.: Clean the damn sink yourself. I nearly sliced my hand on a submerged steak knife.
