Before I start this post, I in no way intend this to be a "bragging of my badassery" post. More a "cry with me as I consider two equally terrible options" post.
So, a couple of nights ago, I was extremely bored and I texted a friend to ask if she wanted to hang out and she suggested that we go get some dinner and I accepted. This was around midnight and my parents really don't mind me going out that late as long as I tell them. They had just gone to bed and I didn't want to disturb them so I just decided to go. Plus, what they didn't know wouldn't kill them.
So I went to the basement and told my brother not to lock the door behind me and he said "Whatever, sure, I won't." With that, I departed.
I only meant to go out for a snack but ended up at her house playing the Sims until six thirty (Oh, I know, I am a total badass).
When she dropped me off, the door was locked because my brother is the biggest douche bag in the history of douche bag brothers.
I ended up having to call my mom to have her let me in and later that day, I was informed of my two options for punishments: Either I was grounded for two weeks or I couldn't have my laptop in my room for two weeks. As an admitted agoraphobic and because my parents still let friends come over to my house during a grounding, the answer seemed obvious.
Until my mother kindly reminded me of my friend's New Year's party, one of the few social events I look forward to.
I really hope that I'm invited because otherwise, I just made the stupidest decision I've made in a long time. Please, wallow in self-pity with me for a moment as I cling to my laptop in the god damn basement, the cause of this punishment sitting no more than a foot away from me.
