My Soap-operaesque Life

Okay, so I know I haven't been posting here very long, but I decided to use this place to vent some of my utter frustration with the world in general and my rather dysfunctional family in particular. Feel free to respond with word of encouragement, or shouts of get the hell over it, whichever you feel more appropriate.
Here's my most recent tale:
My little sister (who is 16, I am 19) is the most promiscuous person I know. She's not slutty in normal ways, rather, she backstabs all her friends and performs sexual favors for cigarettes. She's dirty, all in all.
Well, I had this boyfriend. He showered me with gifts and praise and generally told me how wonderful I was, and I felt all special and mushy and such, until I found out that he'd been having sex with her for a long time. I'm away at college, she's back at home, and she was sleeping with him. However, they weren't only sleeping together while I was away, but also while I was at work when I was still at home over the summer. I felt very gross when I found this out and promptly dumped his cheating ass. He called me two weeks later and begged me to give him another chance because he "loved me more than life itself" and "didn't know how to live without me".
My sister, on the other hand, is not so easy to dump seeing as how she is family. (For the record, this is NOT the first time she's done something this heinous to me, so it's not like I haven't given her chances in the past).
So, I dumped him, moved on with my life, got back with my college boy from last year who may not give me flowers every day, but he truly cares about me and I've decided that's more important.
Last night my sister decided to message me (we really haven't spoken much since "the incident") she had this to say "Josh (that's the dirty guy) and I are hanging out, and there's nothing you can do to stop that, he's my friend, deal with it" Not that I had asked her if they were hanging out, or even spoken to her at all. She just wanted to get me riled up, and it worked.
Today I find out that it's not just them hanging out as friends (as I already suspected) but they're sleeping together. I called him, to ask him what the Hell was wrong with him and why he was doing this to her. He made some snide comment about me getting back with my ex. I'm pretty certain he's only with her to try to hurt me, and I suppose that she deserves what she gets.
I still don't know how I'm going to go home and look her in the eye. Dirty little girl.

Supreme Court

Since Bush was just re-elected (and I'm embarassed to call myself an American now) there's a lot of supreme court justices he's going to get to appoint within the next four years, isn't there?
I'm really worried about the future of this country.

I Suppose I Should Introduce Myself. .

Hello,
My name is Michelle and though I am new to this forum, I have been watching the animations here for a long time. I'm a big fan.
I'm from the U.S. Missouri. My hometown is incredibly small and I'm really glad that I got to get out to go to college. That's where I'm at now. I go to a small state school and I'm double majoring in English and Creative Writing. Hopefully I'll teach English in college someday . . . I guess I don't really plan on ever leaving. I hope to go to grad school near an ocean. Maybe Boston.

I have an eclectic taste in music and movies. I love things that make me think and things that make me laugh and if it can do both, I'm addicted.

Other than that, well, I don't know. If there's something particular that someone is just dying to know, ask, and I'll consider endulging you.
